It was a tough choice, old jeans or even older jeans.

[Katniss accepts the drink with a sarcastic smile.]

Thanks. So, how is getting all the girls to dance with you going?

[arrogantalloy]

Haven't danced yet.

[He leans against the wall next to her and sips his drink]

Just warming up the room first. Can't dance in a cold room, it just wouldn't work.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Give me a heads up if it catches on fire, I can throw some water on you.

[arrogantalloy]

I'll be sure to keep you in mind, Want me to... Find you a bucket now? Because you seem kind of in love with the wall right now.

[cantstarvethisfire]

[That got her laughing.]

We're only friends.

[arrogantalloy]

[Is pleased that he got a laugh]

You say that, but in those jeans and T-shirt. The second guys start sweeping you off to dance with them. This wall...

[He pats the wall]

Will literally be green with jealous.

[cantstarvethisfire]

It'll break it's heart when I go sit at a table later.

[arrogantalloy]

Believe me, there would be gossip for weeks.

[Allows himself to chuckle]

[cantstarvethisfire]

Good thing it's summer break in less than twenty-four hours. I wouldn't be able to handle all the staring.

[arrogantalloy]

That is very true. But you might find the paintings staring when you get back. Unless something else scandalous happens.

[Like Tony]

[cantstarvethisfire]

If the paintings are staring at me after two months of nothing, that's sad.

[arrogantalloy]

Without us here, what else are they going to talk about.

[He finishes his goblet, as he looks over at the dance floor.]

Join me on the floor?

[cantstarvethisfire]

[Big old head shake]

You're on your own there. I'm not dancing tonight.

[arrogantalloy]

C'mon? Not even once around the floor, it's not even a slow number. After I lead you out there, you don't even have to touch me.

[He gives her a grin]

[cantstarvethisfire]

We can walk around the floor, but I'm not dancing. I'm saving that for my last year here.

[arrogantalloy]

Walking is good, walking still has steps in it.

[He offers his hand to her again for her to take, so he can at least walk her there in style]

Saving it for your last year? I like it, kinda futuristically nostalgic, with a romantic twist. It's going to be a real sight to see. Is it too early to reserve a spot on your dance card?

[cantstarvethisfire]

I don't think anyone broke someones toes while walking either.

[she gives him her hand awkwardly. It's the best compromise to no dancing though.]

Why not. I might have a dress by then too.

[arrogantalloy]

[Gives her a warm smile and starts to lead her towards the edge of the dance floor]

Only trolls are bad dancers. And you're a little too short to be one of those. So I really doubt you and...

[He looks down at her feet before looking up at her]

...And your slight feet are going to do damage to anyone.

Sounds good to me, I can suggest a tailor, really good at what they do.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Someone once told me I have the manners of a troll.

No, that's okay. I'll just end up grabbing something at a store in London.

[arrogantalloy]

I should really watch you eat next times. Sounds interesting to see. But then, I don't have much of a yard stick, I don't spend much time watching trolls interact.

Store bought. Night bad. Can't really argue with that either. Not as personal, but still, some of their dresses have a lot of flair.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I wasn't planning on anything with flair, just something that can pass as a dress.

[arrogantalloy]

If you can't go to a dance, especially your last dance, with a great deal of flair. Is there even a point?

[cantstarvethisfire]

I'll think about adding some flair, okay?

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony grins at her as they walk the dance floor]

You'd look great with flair. So I hope you do come with flair.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Some assembly required.
