Dance seemed to rely heavily on footwork, which was an area that Lute was sorely lacking in. However, the contrary could be said of Rose; it seemed as if dancing was secondary to her nature, judging from the flawless way she executed steps and glides that Lute would never have done by himself. It was a bit nerve-wracking at first since he kept expecting himself to trip, but for some miraculous reason accidents and missteps were few and far between, which began to inspire confidence in the virtuoso. Said confidence was mixed with a staggering amount of admiration of his lady partner’s poise.

“See, Lute? You’re getting the hang of it. You’re actually a wonderful dancer!” Ah. He kept close tabs on how it seemed easier to keep his feet away from each other the longer they danced, but hearing it from someone far more experienced felt wonderful. “It’s all because of you, miss Rose. You’re the amazing one,” Lute blushed in reply and ducked his head to avoid meeting her gaze.

The music slowed- it seemed as if the band was close to switching to another song- and Lute was able to more clearly hear some sort of commotion coming from Moira and the others. That and Rose giving him the chance to take the lead. “All right then!” He replied cheerfully and beamed back at Rose, the shy and insecure façade from earlier long brightened by her patience and the glee that came from executing a set of steps without failing. The virtuoso steered away from his drunk friends and stayed within the circle of formal dancers who were now swaying gently in time to the tempo, still blissfully oblivious to the glares thrown at him from all directions.

“So um… miss Rose,” Lute fidgeted and he averted his eyes for a brief moment. “T-the song, it might change soon, because… because the band might play a hip something for them-,” He tilted his head at Amy and company, plus their small gathering of followers, “-but…” The white-haired man seemed to ignite from within as his face was now lighting up in a warm light red, and what followed next were rushed but sincere words. “But I really enjoyed it though! I meant, dancing. With you. So… Thank you very much for the opportunity!”

I'll um, get my post up in a few!

Guys my school fees got really expensive. We're talking like... 6k additional here from my original budget grade. That's a massive amount for my family. :c So far there's a date for reconsideration but no instructions on how to... :/ I really hope I can get an appeal processed though, because it's impossible to pay off my new tuition fee.

The photographer helped him up and Aria dragged the two of them over to the dance floor, where Lute suffered yet another event to add to his constantly growing ‘Most Embarrassing Moments’ repertoire. He didn’t know why, but he just slipped out of Aria’s grasp, and the imbalance caused by bumping into one person after another was enough to make his feet slip. Worse, the people around actually thought he was doing it on purpose and Delilah was perfectly content with giggling at him and the idiots who were mimicking his moves! “Somebody help!” The virtuoso cried out before twirling around most ungracefully and landing facefirst on a… cushion?

But as circumstances would have it, he didn’t break his fall on a cushion. Nope, he fell on the lovely young lady from the Academy, Rose…! Color rose up to his face at an alarming rate, making the virtuoso look more like a beet rather than a human as he fumbled for a proper apology. "Wait, what?" Instead of being pummeled into a bloody pulp, Rose extended her hand and asked him if he wanted to dance. With her? 'Of course with her, you ignorant boob,' Delilah sighed and Lute looked positively bewildered. He kept glancing at the woman's hand and her face as if connecting the dots before finally snapping out of his reverie.

"I..." Lute blushed and glanced over his shoulder at his friends. If that Simon pal did something to the girls, Syed would taser him. Hopefully. "It would be my pleasure but..." The virtuoso turned his eyes on Rose and nodded, hesitantly taking her hand and... "But I don't know how to dance." He led her to the dance floor nonetheless, then observed the nearby dancers who were gracefully twirling with their partners.

“So um… Excuse me… I put my other hand here?” The virtuoso faltered before finally placing his palm over the lady’s left shoulder blade. Also, looking at those other dancers, they had their clasped hands raised, so he did that too… After an awkward few seconds of attempting to copy the others, at least Lute managed to get their stance correct, but he was at a complete loss at what to do next and his troubled face clearly showed it.

… Farmhands rarely go to these kinds of parties after all.

What… What’s happening? The virtuoso caught the glass the cleric had chucked their way and returned it to a waiter before heading towards the bar. “Syed, don’t tell me one of our friends threw that,” He asked the brightly blushing mage before glancing over at the dance floor. The ballroom dancers swept to one side as if repelled by the sudden appearance of a very enthusiastic Moira, who was grooving along with Amy. The two of them seemed to want Aria to join them…

“Hey you! Stop that!” Lute crowed and skirted over in between Simon and Aria, shifting from one foot to another with his arms spread out to intercept the speedy photographer. Flash! A sudden burst of light blinded the virtuoso and he staggered back, tripping on Amy’s discarded heels, orange and blue dots swirling around along with the smattering of people who decided to continue dancing. He turned his back on the energetic student and braced his head on the sides with his arms, still blinking to dispel the last waves of multicolored polka dots.

Wait…

“Are you actually batting your eyelashes? At me?” Well, probably not at him but at Simon since he just got in the way, but Lute exclaimed in disbelief nonetheless as the illusionist gave him a dopey smile. “Wow, this is bad. Just how many- Whoa!” The white-haired man took a step back when he saw the gyrating, chin-jutting bartender mixing a drink. How… How does he do that!? Does he have no bones? Another flash disrupted his vision and Lute turned to the source, who was still posing and taking pictures at different angles at the speed of light. “Can you… stop that!? Enough! Hey! Are you even listening to me!? It's very impolite and- Oof!” The virtuoso grimaced and raised his arm to block the flashes, stepping to the side to catch up when Simon when once again, he tripped on the cleric’s shoes.

This time he fell on his butt, jarred by the sudden fall that was surely caught on cam.
