I Could Have Danced All Night
The grand ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel on 57 East 57th street was festively decorated for the holidays. A series of lit candles on every table gave off warm light and the dulcet tones of a jazz ensemble filled the room.

People, the upper elite of New York society, Hollywood celebrities, musicians, politicians and New York’s own superheroes moved around the room. People sat at tables and talked, while some moved gracefully around the large dance floor.

Tables loaded with unwrapped and unopened toys lined one wall and at one end stood a very large decorated Christmas tree. Wrapped presents sat under the tree, but they were just empty boxes wrapped for decoration. Mistletoe hung from the ceiling near the tree and people stopped to kiss.

The air was light and the mood happy and festive.

	Emily closes her book, holding it shyly against his chest. "Ah, I'm his daughter. But I'm not the daughter of the Dr. Banner YOU would know." she says carefully. "Unless you've travelled between dimensions some." "I came here on accident from another reality. I'm still trying to get home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not frequently," he admits honestly. "That must be very disconcerting. I hope you have the best of luck with your return." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you." She smiles and tilts her head at him a little. "What is your accent? Latverian?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiles. "Yes. Latverian. It has faded mostly from my English in all my years in America." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sensitive to the sound." Emily says shyly. "I've always meant to learn Romany, actually. It's on a long list of 'to do's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is a beautiful language. My very first. I do not tend to hear it anymore, except when my brother deigns to use a few words." (Reply to this)(Parent)
