Tamaki stayed quiet - what was the saying? That the one who stayed silent the longest, won? Something like that. And she agreed. He clapped his hands together excitedly, paying absolutely no attention to the other commotion in the room. He was too invested in the guest sitting across from him. "Fantastic!" he exclaimed.

Then, after a moment - "Why don't you invite your friends as well? If they're also from Ouran, they're quite welcome." He flicked his hair with a quick movement of his head, just about bouncing in his seat.

Mimori paused as she reached the door, sensing Kaoru's closeness behind her.  He'd... come after her? She stayed in place until Hikaru spoke, then slowly turned to face them. He hadn't sounded forced. Maybe not entirely genuine, but quite willing. When Kaoru said that he'd looked forward to dancing with her... She hesitated for a moment. Of course. She had been the one to notice the difference between them; she should have stayed calm and separated her disappointment too. 

"Really?" Mimori fiddled with her yellow skirts, glancing down at them nervously. A boy, admitting to wanting to dance with her? A boy from the Host Club? Despite the pain, an ever so tiny smile tilted her lips, and she nodded. "Okay. I... I'll see you there." And then quietly, discreetly, she exited the Host Club for the week.
