[It's a nice moment. It's quiet and peaceful and just...comfortable. He feels comfortable around Ana, and it's much better than the dance at prom.]

...Y'know, this is nice.

[ it is. it really is. ]

You think so?

[ she smiles. ] I'm glad you think so, because I agree.

It's way better than our dance at prom, at least.

[Because that was...Well. It certainly was a thing.]

Much better.

[ she pauses for a second before she puts her arms around his neck. ]

Is this alright?

Of course.

[How is he supposed to handle this? His cheeks go a little pink, but hopefully she doesn't notice.]

Thank you.

[ hers are too, so it's fine. the song changed -- still appropriate for the moment, mind you -- and ana hasn't even noticed.

she closes her eyes and breathes out a quiet sigh. ]

[aaaaaaaaaah.

This is just getting nicer and nicer. It's a welcome change of pace, and Lance's hands on her are nervous. He doesn't know what to do with himself, but he doesn't want to ruin the moment.]

[ she looks up on him, and she notices that he seems nervous. ana frowns a little. ]

Are you alright, Lance?

Never been better.

[He just...doesn't want to ruin things. Not when they're going so well.]

Just trying not to embarrass myself.

Me too, actually.

[ she laughs softly. ]

That makes two of us.

Well, I think you're doing a pretty good job right now. Nothing embarrassing about this at all.

[ she smiles and blushes a little deeper. ]

You're too kind, Lance. I can say the same thing. ... I'm happy, if I'm being perfectly honest.

Good. I'm happy, too.

[And he is...This moment is quiet and sweet and he's glad he came to check up on her. He's glad she's safe, and he starts humming along to the music as they dance.]
