Hello, Ada. Time has escaped me since the ball, but I would like to thank you for being so kind to me back then. I am embarrassed that you saw me in such a state at all, but I am fortunate to have had your calm and steady hand to guide me back to my senses.

Would you like to get a drink with me tonight? My treat.

[ Ada reads the message, and then again. It clicks a moment later. ]

I'd be delighted.

Where did you have in mind?

[noburden]

That depends. Do you like to dance?

[droppingin]

I've been known to. Unless you mean line dancing, I don't have the boots for it.

[noburden]

I am afraid I am unfamiliar with line dancing. Dancing simply for fun is a relatively new endeavor for me.

[droppingin]

I'm tempted to introduce you. Might be an experience worth having another time, as long as you like country music.

So let's dance for fun. It's better that way.

[ ask her about Regency dances someday (please don't.) ]

[noburden]

Then perhaps we have our fun tonight and later you can show me what kind of boots are necessary for line dancing. How does that sound?

[droppingin]

A drink, a dance, and another time, some shopping?

Sold.

[noburden]

Wonderful. Shall we meet there? I can find the address of the place I have in mind and send it to you.

[droppingin]

Sounds perfect. I'll see you then, Jill.


[ It's shortly before the agreed upon time that Ada arrives, dressed in a color that, while not unheard of for her, is not exactly her signature. But it was free from the Solstice Ball and fit like a glove, so why not?

She's keeping an eye out for Jill, of course, and waits until either the other woman arrives or she spots her to make her way in. ]

So, come here often? [ It's both genuine question and greeting. ]


{ ooc: sorry for delay!! and please feel free to swap to prose if you prefer, I'm easy ♥ }

[noburden]

[Jill's easy to spot, seemingly always in some array of blue and white. When Ada greets her, Jill smiles. She's always so beautiful in every way. She's pretty sure she could show up wearing a sack and still look like a painting of some sort.]

You made it! I'm glad.

[... she can't remember the last time she spent time with a woman. Mid, she imagines, back home. It's been so long.]

Thank you for joining me tonight. Really.

[droppingin]

[ Everyone has a signature color, as far as Ada is concerned, anyway, it's just a fact, and somehow comforting despite not being something she's bothered to analyze.

It feels natural to smile back, though she'll never get used to the easy, open way so many seem to do so. ]

Of course, I wasn't going to turn down a free drink.

[ Her tone is teasing, and she means to be clearly joking, but just in case-- ]

You surprised me. I don't get invited out much. [ Believe it or not, it's the truth. ]

[noburden]

I find that hard to believe.

[Ada is one of the most beautiful women she's ever seen. She suspects she's just being polite--she must be invited out so often she declines most.]

What would you like to drink? A free drink may turn into two, if that's truly the case.

[She's kidding. Maybe. Whatever, it's Clive's money, let's spend it.]

[droppingin]

[ Her smile is warm, but she doesn't elaborate on her statement. It's nice to be flattered sincerely. ]

I'm thinking something fruity tonight. How about a cosmo?

[ it's a brighter grin for just a moment before she continues: ]

And maybe some dancing before that second drink.
