Depending on what you say to Milo, Khorshid may get pummeled by an angry swordsman

I edited in an interaction with Paige.

Milo Ventri

Milo led Vika to the dance floor, noting the bite in her voice as she accepted while simultaneously scaring off what she must have interpreted as a threat, it was cute. Milo took her hands and led her in a slow dance, he was actually a decent dancer, a few lessons in his time, not to mention his time in the ring gave him good footwork, "Now granted I do spend more time dancing to a little faster music, a little swing here and there." Milo was smiling as he moved to the sound of the music around him, the scene was beautiful and everything was going swimmingly.

Milo couldn't take his eyes off Vika, she always seemed worried about her size and her frailty but Milo couldn't see it, she was out and about, dancing a winter evening away. As the song they danced to came to an end, Milo took a moment to look around the space as more people were filling in, he started to think that he should have brought business cards with him at this point, could have drummed up some local customers. Milo wasn't looking to hard just admiring the crowd really though his eyes managed to stop at a familiar sight, it couldn't be, Milo could feel the blood drain from his face as he made eye contact.

Milo looked to Vika, "I hope you'll excuse me a moment, it seems I have been visited by the ghost of Christmas past. I will be right back." Milo could feel his world around him crashing to the floor, this was not going to go well for him and he knew it, if Paige were here, did Anna follow, no, she wouldn't have come here, this was his dream vacation from back then, she wouldn't want to come here would she. Milo went over to where he had seen her, and sure enough she was no trick of the mind, Paige was right there in the flesh. "Why are you here Paige?" Milo had his tone low and uninviting as he spoke, his memories of Paige weren't good even before his accident, "Is she here too?" Milo now looked angry at the thought of his ex, the woman that ghosted him after his accident, being here, now, of all times.

Would you prefer me to wait for that before bringing Milo in?

Milo Ventri

Milo walked over with Vika as she led him to the man in the cardboard suit, Joseph, he had helped Vika during the swan song fiasco. A man dressed in a box had to have a sense of humor and this was definitely true of this one, he cracked a couple quickfire quips and joked about what Milo did for a living, the jokes were all kind hearted with no ill intent, but it was his mention of Milo being more the knight than him that got him to speak, "Don't doubt yourself, a hero to one person is as good as the hero to the next, and yes, I am a baker, cakes and puffs galore." Milo chuckled at the thought of himself cooking for a living. "No, no, I can't even joke about that with a straight face, I am a blacksmith in the harbor district, Final Round Armory."
As the group talked a bit further Vika started to get herself all flustered, he was making quite the impression on her it seemed, this was good, he really wanted this, a life that felt so calm and distant from what he had lost before. "I'll have you know that I dance quite well actually, good footwork is key in many things." He looked to Joseph, "It was a pleasure to meet you Joseph, but it seems the lady is eager to dance, would be rude to keep her waiting." he gave kind smile and took Vika's hand again to go to the floor.

Milo Ventri

Milo listened to the grizzled sailor and when he revealed himself to be Vika's father he had to hold back a bit of surprise, this was awkward, he hadn't been expecting to meet parents just yet, odds were that Vika may never meet his. "A pleasure to meet you Captain, and have no fear, I know the drill." Milo had on a look that spoke volumes, he seemed to be quite content, confident even as he spoke, this man was a hard working man of a true trade, he would see if Milo wasn't giving a good show of it. Some of Vika's behavior was pretty astonishing, public displays of affection with a guy she had just started dating, right in front of her dad, pretty ballsy if he did say so himself.
As the Captain left them to their own devices Milo smiled and looked to Vika, "Well, a good egg huh?" He let out a small laugh, "That is not the phrase I would have thought to use but hey, whatever get the point across." Vika made a quick comment about his clothing for the evening, he was wondering what everyone else around town would be wearing, gladly he was happy to know that some tried to look nice and some were silly enough that he couldn't stand out to bad, "Well thank you, though I think I am paling in comparison to box man over there." And he pointed to the man in the cardboard suit, "But I know I pale to you, you look lovely." He smiled sweetly, as he spoke, she really did look great, "Drink or dance? What do you feel like?" he said as he held out a hand to guide her wherever she wished. The crowd today was large but a few people were standing out, Marinalia, she was clearly visible, playing with a dog, Milo was surprised someone would bring their dog, but to each their own. What concerned him was a larger man arms crossed looking menacing, he was clearly not security, and it seemed of course Miss Marinalia was trying to speak to him, these two girls have more moxie than he really knows how to deal with, but that's half the fun.
