Tadeo stood, that grin still plastered to his face, waiting as the girl considered him. He glanced at the table, but the faces of her friends told her nothing. They seemed amused, but that was about it. No angry boyfriends either, it seemed. What she gave him wasn't exactly an answer. He was surprised how seriously she regarded him after his over the top proposal. She spoke well, he could see. She seemed to strike all the points she wanted to with each sentence. He had to say, he was impressed.

Then question that followed nearly made him burst into laughter. Of course she had no way of knowing what a ridiculous question it was to ask him if he was really willing to do that. His grin widened in response, and she continued speaking, pointing out how a friend or Quidditch player would be the clear choice for her. Her last words to him were a little blunt, but at least it wasn't a no.

[color=0ab922]"Would I dress up for a woman I've never met and then attempt to dance with someone I've never even walked with before?"[/color] he asked, restating her question. [color=0ab922]"You could also ask me 'Would I travel across the globe to go to school in a country I haven't lived in?' Of course! I'm here at a school in which I know no one, so really it's either go alone or ask a woman who is a complete stranger."[/color] He gestured to her and and nodded his head slightly in acknowledgment. 

He made a conscious effort to speak carefully, in contrast to his stream of words from earlier. [color=0ab922]"I'm than willing to go with a complete stranger for the very same reason that I'm here in the first place. There is the potential here for the unique experience of getting to know someone while enjoying a good night of some of the best this school has to offer. That's an opportunity I can't help but embrace."[/color] He paused. [color=0ab922]"Going alone wouldn't be bad. I'd get to mingle and dance with just about everyone without being tied to someone all night."[/color] He shrugged and continued. [color=0ab922]"But I'm wondering if someone else doesn't also see the allure of that experience. Because going with a woman willing to take that plunge would easily make for the most interesting night. Like you said, I don't have the first clue how to walk, talk or dance with you, and the same goes for you. I'm looking for someone who isn't put off by that, but excited. Is that you?"[/color] There was a twinkle in his eye as he waited. He could feel the attention of the students at the table on the two of them. It didn't occur to him until just then that by the end of his little speech, he'd somehow made it sound like he was screening her rather than the other way around.
