Meme: AU: Fancy Date.
The dress certainly wasn't skimpy. That was for sure. The staring happened anyway. Her control was better than it had been, but maybe it was because she was nervous about such a fancy occasion. But her fathers had been so excited about her going, and it really was a lovely party, just ...

"Sorry," she whispered as she tried to gauge whether people were looking at her.

	"What are you sorry about? You look great, and I'm glad you could make it. Its a good cause." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Thanks. And yeah, it is. I was in a charity concert for this same organization a few years back, with the school choir." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods. "I kind of try and keep my charity work anonymous and all, but still... good thing to be involved with. Thanks for the invitation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 03:22 am UTC (link)
	She smiles. "Figures you would. And thank you for coming with me... /are/ they staring?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, they are. You seem to have that effect on people. I'm certainly glad I could make it, so, you're very welcome. I don't know any of these people or anything... and don't do that many social occasions. Hopefully you can keep me from making any major errors." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Sally rapidly switches from self-conscious worrying to giggling softly. "Please. You could get dropped on another planet and be fitting in politely in five minutes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 03:49 am UTC (link)
	He shrugs. "I don't know about that. I'm fairly comfortable in my arena, maybe. This is a whole different thing. Granted... I did get dropped on a few other planets... with mixed results." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 03:50 am UTC (link)
	"What kind of planets?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 03:56 am UTC (link)
	"I did kind of a couple year tour of the galaxy, so a little bit of a lot of places. Some were pretty quick and easy, others took a lot longer. A lot of the time was just quiet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 04:01 am UTC (link)
	"Oh. Well. Quiet can certainly be nice." Better than some things, for sure. At least at an occasion like this, there weren't going to be any Remarks like one sometimes got on teh street. "Let's get some food. It looks amazing. And the cider at these things is really good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 04:09 am UTC (link)
	"Cider? Sure, sounds good." he agrees, offering her his arm, though he lets her help navigate them through the room a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 04:12 am UTC (link)
	And that she does, quite gracefully. She does her best to reel her aura in as she makes a few polite introductions to a few of her fathers' clients also at the drinks table. When she's not worrying about who's looking where or why, it's a nice party. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 04:30 am UTC (link)
	Jon is polite, certainly. He's clearly out of his element, but politeness comes easily, and he has some experience at dealing with a variety of people - mostly due to his mother. Per that tendency towards a certain style of politness, he gets them both a drink, bringing her cider back to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 04:32 am UTC (link)
	She smiles. "Thank you." And she drinks. It is, indeed, still good stuff, and Sally always has an appetite. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 04:33 am UTC (link)
	He finds them somewhere to sit, pulling her chair out for her and making sure she's comfortable before he settles in as well. That done, he finally tries the cider as well. "You're right, this is good. Any other suggestions?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 04:35 am UTC (link)
	She sits. "A lot of the food's good. What's your opinion of caviar?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 04:36 am UTC (link)
	"Uhm, my opinion is that... its a really expensive food that I've never tried?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 04:40 am UTC (link)
	Sally giggles. "Well, what do you think of sushi?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 04:44 am UTC (link)
	"That, at least, I've tried. Jo likes it better than I do, but its not bad. After the two years of one totally alien cuisine after another, you'd think I'd be more all over the map, instead of tending to default back to cheeseburgers and milkshakes... but no." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 04:48 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm. Maybe go more for some of the other snacks, then. Pretty sure only people who really like sushi are likely to like caviar. It's superfishy. So, anyway, we can go for the food in a bit." That's when music picks up. Sally knows the cellist personally, and they're all very good. "But first, would you like to dance?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 05:09 am UTC (link)
	"I'd love to dance. Can't promise any great skill at it, but I'd love to try." he agrees, standing and offering an arm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 05:12 am UTC (link)
	She'll take it, and out on the floor they go. "Oh, I'm nothing special either." But on the other hand, they both have excellent reflexes, so there's hardly any chance, as they fall into the tempo of the music, of stepping on each other's feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 05:16 am UTC (link)
	No chance at all, really, as that's the first thing he's looking out for. Once he gets the basics down, he has a chance to watch what some of the better dancers are doing, starting to pick that up as well, given those excellent reflexes of his. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 05:22 am UTC (link)
	And as they get the hang of it, Sally relaxes and enjoys herself as they make their way on the floor. --and occasionally remembers to reel in the aura. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 05:25 am UTC (link)
	He picks up more and more as the dance goes, coordinating it all pretty well. They also definitely have all eyes on them somewhere in the middle of it all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 05:34 am UTC (link)
	She notices a little, peripherally, but not enough to bother her, and just smiles up at Jon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 05:51 am UTC (link)
	He smiles back at her, but not in the way of most. As soon as he'd picked up on the pheromones - potent though they were, he'd been doing the 'hold breath long enough to make long space journeys' thing - trying to give her someone just seeing her for who she really was, and paying attention to her for her own sake, instead of her powers. "Another dance?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	too_sexy 2013-02-15 05:53 am UTC (link)
	And Sally can tell the difference, and it means, well, it means practically everything. "Yes. Yes, please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-02-15 07:41 am UTC (link)
	Not something he can do forever. Just... a couple days at a time if really pressed. With a little more experience at it, and a chance to learn moves from those around, its not too long before they might be getting a fair amount of attention on the floor even without her powers.
