Akane's smile widened as Cora's cool hand met her's, and her tails swayed happily to the rhythm of the new song that had started playing, just as slow as the first. She was grateful for Geralt's assistance in positioning Cora in her arms. Her cheeks reddened at feeling her be so close to her, but she securely wrapped an arm around her waist, actually a little surprised at how light Cora was. She had tried carrying her before and had always thought she was a bit light, even though she struggled at times.. this time was different. 

[color=rosybrown]"I figured I would need to be taller to do this."[/color] She told her with an innocent smile, now matching the mermaid's height. One couldn't' really tell when Cora was sitting down, but she was much taller than she appeared. Feeling their bodies pressed closed together like this.. Cora's normally cool temperature felt so.. warm against her. 

[color=rosybrown]"Are you lighter?"[/color] She asked her, tilting her head slightly as she finally began to move to the music. This took a lot more focus than she thought, and she knew she probably didn't look as graceful as Geralt had when he had done this but.. she was determined to do her best to make sure Cora had fun. For a moment she had turned to the others, calling out to them as she hoped they'd join in on the fun. It was upon turning her gaze back to Cora that she noticed the mermaid wasn't really holding her gaze, which was a little odd.

[color=rosybrown]"This.. is okay right?"[/color] She asked, wanting to make sure this was okay with it. She had been so preoccupied with her own feelings that she wasn't sure if Cora was just going with the flow.. or if she had actually wanted to dance with her. 

Lucien guided Ivory to the dance floor as the two watched the interaction between Akane, Cora, and Geralt. The Magician had gracefully left the 'stage' to the two women, which had impressed the nephilim. The man really was quite observant.. he was sure he had noticed the feelings that were stirring between the two women. The fact he hadn't decided to not get in their way made him feel like maybe Geralt wasn't as bad as he had been made out to be. He placed a hand on Ivory's waist, but maintained a respectable distance from her as the two began to dance. 

On occasion Ivory would glance over at the two women as they had started doing the same. For a moment she had been worried that Akane might actually be struggling with this but.. surprisingly she seemed to be managing just fine. It was.. odd, considering she had seen her struggle with carrying the mermaid for too long in the past. Had.. Geralt done something? No... why would he? Perhaps making herself taller provided the kitsune with some extra strength? She wasn't sure. 

[color=burlywood]"I'm very impressed with the fact you can avoid stepping on me when you're so focused on something else."[/color] Lucien commented a little amusingly. He had noticed Ivory being particularly watchful today, it was also part of the reason he had asked her to dance. He was hoping it would also help her relax a little. 

[color=darkgray]"Of course. I do this for a living, you know?"[/color] The dhampir responded, having no problem with moving to the rhythm of the music. [color=darkgray]"So I guess dancing is something you can add to the incredibly long list of things you can do?"[/color] She asked with a raised brow. 

[color=burlywood]"I certainly can't argue with that."[/color] He said, before letting out a chuckle. [color=burlywood]"I suppose you can. I used to have a lot of time on my hands."[/color] He said, a hint of nostalgia in his tone, which quickly disappeared as fast as it had come. 

Aurel had let out a small laugh, a little surprised that Illyana had actually said yes. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"I think I'll be okay."[/color] He told her as they made their way to the dance floor, and mirrored the way Lucien was holding Ivory.

[color=#a7d3d4]"My feet are ready."[/color] He joked. As he began to move, he tried to make a good attempt at guiding Illyana properly, considering dancing wasn't really her thing.
