Kest smiled at the young ladies expression. From it he could tell the man dancing with Odette was in fact, not her boyfriend.

Since there were only sparse partners dancing, he could always see Odette. She had taken charge of the dance and wouldn't let her partner take the lead. That was just like her, she was very independent. Plus it looked like he wasn't very good at the waltz. Odette was basically pulling him around the room. This caused Kest to smirk, that is until she stopped, putting her hand to her head, and walking off the dance floor leaving the man hanging.

Kest was going to break away from his own dance to check on her, but he noticed she was looking around rather at him.
[color=00aeef]"Is something amiss?"[/color] he followed her eyes, but only saw a bunch of people. He looked at her and wondered what she could possibly be trying to see.

[color=bc8dbf]Indeed a pleasure, Denn.[/color] her voice was becoming crisp, the drink was starting to wear off and that meant she was going to start closing up again, but she didn't want to be rude to Denn after he so [I]graciously[/i] asked her to dance. This was a ball after all. [color=bc8dbf]"Kest wanted me to take lessons before we arrived."[/color] one look and you would be able to tell she was lying, and she burst out giggling again, [color=bc8dbf]"I'm joking. I took lessons when I was in college. They were free."[/color]

All the spinning was starting to make Odette dizzy. She knew she would need to sit and drink some water before she danced again. Unfortunately for Denn, that time was now. She stopped mid dance and doubled over, breathing deeply. When she felt stable enough to stand straight, the room started spinning again. She put her hand to her head and groaned, walking to a nearby table.

[color=bc8dbf]"I need to be more careful next time."[/color] the words were whispered to herself. Odette knew she couldn't hold her alcohol very well. Combined with with the dancing, it was a recipe for disaster. She crossed her arms on the table and rested her head on them, relaxing her breathing.
