Hayley was enjoying the dance, and Saranja's words had filled her with even more confidence - maybe she finally found something she was good at! So as the dance slowed to a stop even with the music still going, there was a slight feeling of disappointment. Still, this song clearly was important to Saranja, so she was ok with it. She turned her head up to her friend, starting to say [color=f26522]"oh, this is one of your fav-"[/color] she got no further as Saranja had moved in and stolen her last words with her lips.

A kiss. Hayleys first kiss. Her first reaction was panic, entirely surprised, as the whole room seemed to darken from the sheer strength and speed of the sudden flare of dread that surrounded the area around the child of Hades. As Saranja pulled back, Hayleys eyes were like saucers. [color=f26522]"You...you kissed me..."[/color] she managed to say. Not upset, or angry, although the aura wasn't going away. The girls face was red, and she was stunned speechless. No idea how to react to this moment.

And for Saranja, she could feel eyes on her. Not from those at the dance, but from further afield and far underground. Burning eyes, watching them not with anger but with genuine curiosity to see what would unfold.
