NévoaRhapsody ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪
[/i][/font][/center] A brunette older female teen walked slowly on the outskirts of the main room where classical music filled the air and mingled with the laughter of the smiling party goers. The girl had one hand lightly grazing the wall as she walked, fingers dancing lightly on the decorative wallpaper. Her high heel shoes made light tapping sounds to the beat of the music but her steps were slightly wobbled, almost as if showing silently that the wearer wasn't used to such shoes.Nevoa stopped her walking and turned her chocolate brown eyes onto the center of the room. She watched with a light smile as some of the couples spun around on the makeshift dance floor. She glanced down at her feet before giving a soft laugh to herself. She couldn't dance to save her life which was one of the reasons she took up guitar. That and she didn't stink at the instrument, that was a plus. Starting her walk back up again she let her mind wonder as she absentmindedly walked towards an empty table in the corner of the room. Pulling out a chair for herself she sat down and evened out her dress that was based off that of a Wailord. Her mask was on a stick and while she had found it appealing at the time now that she had it she wasn't as amused. The mask had to be held up to her face at all time and to say her arm was getting tired was the truth. She'd probably have to hide in her private quarters before too long and give her arm some rest.The longer the brown haired teen sat though the more she became absorbed in her guilt. She had still yet to find her missing Absol Elegy and it was getting cold outside seeing how winter was upon them. Would Elegy resent her for loosing him? Would he believe she tried to find him and meet up with him after the "event". The more her mind became absorbed with thoughts of her Pokémon the less she focused on her surroundings. It wasn't long before she was completely out of her body and probably wouldn't hear people screaming about a fire until someone touched her. Lost in her own mind. [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Roran was practically having an orgasm with all the wonderful costumes. "Beautiful. Oh, gorgeous!" He would mumbled to himself as girls danced about, letting the cascade of their dresses twirl about. He walked along, admiring each one until his eyes fell upon Nevoa. Most girls were dressed as cutesy pokemon like togepi or elegant pokemon like dratini. This girl...her costume was a wailord. How could anyone make a wailord look gorgeous? Well Nevoa did and Roran took notice. He had mused before about how the dress could tell a lot about the girl, and this girl. He could tell that she was unique. Beautiful inside and out.
"Excuse me, I don't mean to bother you, but I had to inform you that your dress is absolutely stunning. And you look ravishing as well." Of course, the words from most other men might have indicated a douchebag, but Roran's voice was so sincere. And even more, it was accompanied by the smile that only exemplified that he meant his words.

[/i][/font][/center] Nevoa had no idea there was a male in front of her, let alone that said male was trying to strike up a conversation with her. Her face, or at least that which was visible, had a worried expression fixed upon it and she was biting her bottom lip. Her eyes were staring into space seemingly fixated on the dancers on the floor but her brain took none of the scenery in. She was far too lost in her thoughts to notice anything.Her brain was working overtime with how many troubled thoughts she had but she'd always counter it with an optimistic thought, only to have a not so positive outlook storm into the one sided conversation. Anyone looking at her would probably think one of three things. A, that she was completely worried over something (which was the correct option). B, that she was just being a b!t!ch and was trying to make the male go away by ignoring him. Or C, that she was asleep with her eyes open. Anyone who actually knew who she was however would immediately eliminate the last two since she was an insomniac and she was way too caring about others to ignore them on purpose.

Hm. Did she not hear him? Maybe he was bothering her? No, he knew the look on her face. He got that way too. Lost in thought. But surely she didn't come to this party to be lost in thought and Roran didn't want the girl wasting a good night. Especially when she did look so exquisite. He lay his hand on her shoulder to hopefully lightly jolt her into reality. "Look, I'm really sorry to bother you, but you really shouldn't waste such a lovely night." Did she hear that? Maybe?
Roran attempted to get infront of her, but instead was bumped by a waiter and ended up fumbling into her lap. "ACK!" He really didn't mean to fall into her lap. How indecent. "Oh my! I'm so sorry." He got up immediately and began to pat out her dress in a panic incase any of the layers came up or it was ruffled. Of course he didn't really think about the fact that he was patting her crotch, but he never really thought when he was in this mood.

[/i][/font][/center] Whatever thought Nevoa had ended when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Jumping a bit her brown eyes widened considerably before her attention landed on the owner of the hand. A male who seemed rather concerned for her. Oh lord... She spaced out didn't she. A sheepish smile formed on her lips as she replied to the only statement she had heard... Or at least she was going to before everything went down hill.Everything happened as if she was seeing it in slow motions, which in any other situation (like in a movie) she would of found funny, but this? It was torture being the one watching everything play out in person. All she could do was watch as the male stepped right into the path of the waiter and was bumped before she could utter a word. Then he was tumbling right towards her... Wait? Right at her? Her face grew pink in embarrassment as the male fell right on her lap. She wasn't sure what to do but was happy when the he stood up rather quickly but then he started trying to fix the situation himself which in turn made everything worse. Was he... Was he touching her crotch? Nevoa didn't dare look at what the male was doing but her hand slipped and her mask fell to the ground. Her face was beet red in both horror and embarrassment. She felt she had lost her voice. What did you do when something like this happened? Did you hit him? Faint? Let him continue?Finally at what seemed to be ages in her mind, that before was whirling but now was completely blank, she reached her hands out to grab his. "It's fine really! It was just an accident, the dress is fine."[/color] Her voice came out slightly strained but she made sure to keep a light smile on her face, even if she was blushing like mad. She could only hope that that was enough to cause the male to stop touching her. She had never in her nineteen years ever had something like this happen to her and to say she was completely out of her element was an understatement. [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Roran backed off instantly. What did he just do? He didn't mean..."I'm really sorry. I just-" He was at a loss for words because thoughts were rushing through his head too fast. Was she mad? Of course she was mad! He just violated the proximity of her no-no squares! Oh no. He could feel the tears comming on. He shook his head slightly as his eyes watered. He would not let himself cry in front of a lady!
He looked back up and spoke quickly "I just wanted to compliment you!" It was a loud voice, but definitely not out of anger towards Nevoa. He was angry at himself for sure, but now he was even more frustrated for having raised his voice to a lady.
He calmed down almost instantly with this realization. "I'm very, very sorry. I just really wanted to let you know that you look really beautiful tonight and I...I have a tendency to mess things up." He tried to smile, but it came out weakly. He was too ashamed of his bad behavior. He had to decided whether to act like a gentleman and kiss her hand as he introduced himself or just continue to be awkward. Well, she probably had enough of him touching her, so just an introduction? "I'm Roran." Oh shoot. Their identities were supposed to be secret, weren't they? Oops. Well, it wasn't like he knew her either way.

[/i][/font][/center] Once the male back off Nevoa couldn't help but feel relieved, he didn't know what he was doing that was all. Least that's what she tried to say to convince herself that he meant no harm.... Right. Now was no time to think of that though because the male looked absolutely ashamed with what he had done. Nevoa bit her lip again but this time out of worry for the boy. Sure she was embarrassed and to be honest a bit angry but she wasn't going to eat him! Leaning down she picked up her mask from the ground and turned it over in her hands. They were in a pretty far off corner and he's already seen her with it of... Maybe she could last a bit longer without killing her arm again.She placed the mask on the table and turned her whole attention on the male. "Really its fine, I'm not too angry." She thought on how that might sound by itself and decided it best to add a bit more to it. "Just don't do it again please... Ever..."[/color] She gave a light laugh and smile before hearing him say he wanted to complement her. Again her face lit up like a red pepper and she wasn't sure what to say. "T-Thank you."[/color] She stuttered out but kept a smile on her face. She wasn't used to being called beautiful... Maybe it was just the lighting? When he spoke his name though the brunette wasn't sure what to do. Were they allowed to give up names? But it was proper to give one's name when they gave theirs wasn't it? "I'm not sure if we're suppose to give names but I'm Nevoa. Pleasure to meet you Roran." She held out a partially gloved hand for him to shake.[/color] [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Roran knew for a bloody fact that he wouldn't due it ever again...well not on purpose. He was prone to mishaps like this. Roran did feel much better with her reassurance however. He even gave her a genuine smile. "I came over because your wailord dress looks remarkable on you! Not many could make a wailord look so gorgeous. That's why I thought you were the most beautiful girl here." It wasn't a pick up line. It was an honest trail of thought from Roran. He only just noticed that she was not wearing her mask. Oh my! She WAS gorgeous. "And you're even pretty under the mask."
As she held out her hand for a shake, Roran definitely mistook the action. He was under the impression that this was a formal ball, so women held out their hands to be kissed. And kissed it, he did. He held her hand delicately in his and pecked the top of it gently and sweetly, but seeing as she wasn't going to be expecting it, it probably came off as awkward to her. "It is very nice to meet you, Mademoiselle Nevoa."
Hm. Her mask was on a stick. That must be dreadful to hold up. "If you want, I can hold it up for you when we dance." What. Oh no. He just practically demanded her to dance! How rude! How horribly rude! Roran was ready to die as he spluttered, "I'm sorry. I meant that if we were to dance-er-if you were willing to dance with me, I could...uh...hold it up for you." Yes, how awkward.

[/i][/font][/center] Nevoa wasn't sure what to say to either of the complements. Should she thank him again or just smile... Or both? She decided to go with the both idea seeing how it seemed to get the point across rather well. "Thanks. You look pretty sharp yourself you know." She gave a warm smile before watch him take her hand and.... That wasn't a hand shake.... That wasn't even close... What... What was he doing... And speaking French?[/color] He kissed her hand and she wasn't sure what the proper thing to do in response to that. "It's nice to meet you too...?"[/color] Thought she was quite confused she tried to keep the statement as a non question statement as best she could. Maybe he wouldn't notice? But even after he didn't let go of her hand. Then the question pretty much came. Do you want to dance? Nevoa felt her insides grow cold as she sputtered out a reply of her own, "T-Trust me with this. You don't uh... you don't want to dance with me. I'm completely lousy and er well to be honest I'm much like a Rhyhorn in a china shop." She looked away practically in shame. "I'd step on your toes, I wouldn't be able to follow steps, and I'd make a fool of you. You wouldn't want that."[/color][/color] [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Roran just stood there and smiled like an idiot. He had no thought of what was going through her head. He was just under the impression that he was acting gentlemanly. He was oblivious in this way. "I can't dance either!" This was somewhat true. He couldn't dance on his own. You know? In clubs with sweaty people all moving to the music? He can't "freestyle", but he can follow set steps. So really, he could dance very well to certain music as long as he knew the steps.
Of course, they were playing just his music. "Hm. You can stand on my feet! It won't hurt, I promise. And I'll hold your mask up just like I said!" He was attempting to raise her out of her chair and guide her to the dance floor while also showing her how to dance. She was very light so she could just stand on his feet and then wrap her arms around his neck for support! It was very simple to Roran. He would do all the work. Even though he had a dainty frame, now that he was older, it hid some muscle. He could support her with ease.

[/i][/font][/center] He... Couldn't dance either.... Why in the world would he want to dance then? Her mind drew a blank but she couldn't help but fall for his smile. It was just... cute. Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes before talking, "Alright..... We can um... Dance. You have to lead..." If she led the whole room would be on fire before the night was over and she didn't have the money to pay off anything in this fancy yacht of a boat.[/color] Him hold her mask too? Well it would save her work but did he really feel comfortable holding it for her? Before she could think more on it though he had tugged her up for her chair sending her tumbling forward. She could feel more embarrassment fall upon her at the thought of face planting right there on the floor. She was in no way, shape or form graceful in most actions and apparently that included standing from a chair. Instead of falling to the floor though she fell into a... warm... body... Quickly stepping away from Roran's chest Nevoa grabbed her mask from the table and pulled the male behind her to avoid another awkward conversation back at the table. She weaved her way to the edge of what seemed to be dubbed the dance floor and she turned to Roran, mask in front of her face to hide it from the crowds. "Well we're here..." She rambled off slightly unsure of how to start this whole ordeal.[/color] [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Roran was smiling as it seemed that she was willing to get out of the chair and come with him. "You'll surely enjoy- Oof!" He found him down on his back with a body on his chest. His face instantly flushed over a deep pink. Although he subconsciously liked the pressure on his chest, his conscious mind didn't register. Instead, Roran was under the impression that it must have been something that he did, so he was quick to say, "Oh, sorry!"
She was up before he could even apologize correctly (or fully enjoy the situation ;P). Roran found himself being led to the dancefloor and the entire time as he watched her infront of him, he couldn't help but smile and think to himself, This girl is extra special. She was. As soon as they stopped, Roran even said, "You're really special, you know that?" Yeah, he had no filter. He tilted his head and gave another sincere smile. But of course, now it was his turn to lead her. "Oh." he mumbled to himself as he gently took her by the waist and lifted her in the air before setting her down so that her feet were placed on top of his. He took her hands and wrapped them around his neck as he also snuck the mask out of her grip, careful to keep it concealing her face. "And just hold on!" he laughed as he turned slowly to show her that it was simple.

[/i][/font][/center] Nevoa sure didn't mean to knock the male completely over and her falling on top of him didn't help the situation at all, though he was a nice fall breaker. All she could think of as she dragged him away from the scene of the crime was if they couldn't even get to the dance floor without falling, what would happen on it? As she stood there slightly confused as to what to do now that they were on the floor she heard his comment. Her... Special? Glancing over at Roran she couldn't help but smile brightly back at his innocent face. Well wasn't he something special too.She wasn't expecting him to pick her up though and her eyes widened considerably as he placed her on his feet. "Do I weight too much? I can try and follow instead?"[/color] She didn't mind her weight personally but someone slightly over 100 pounds standing directly on someone's toes probably wasn't overly pleasant. However she was surprised by how he held her mask in front of her face so steadily as he moved her. It was talent if she could say so herself. Nevoa locked her fingers in the back of Roran's neck and she almost tensed up like a rock when he started moving but relaxed slightly when she realized it wasn't too bad to be honest. She felt weird not doing anything but it was probably for the best. The world could live with less horrid dancers, or at least people who knew they couldn't dance so they didn't try.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

As he watched Nevoa's reactions, Roran couldn't help but laugh. His laugh wasn't rude or even insulting. His was the laugh that told the world that he was just a happy soul in a body. "Don't worry, you're like a feather." He was being honest. She was a dream for any guy to carry or lift. Weightless practically.
Roran did his usual step in a very rhythmic and memorized fashion. It was still elegant and flowed smoothly. He even threw in a few spins, making sure to hold on extra tightly to Nevoa's waist with his free hand so she wouldn't stumble. He looked at her through her mask and when Roran looks at you in your eyes...well, its one of those moments when you really wonder what he must be thinking. He smiled once more to let her know that he enjoyed dancing with her before he spoke, "When I first came up to you...you were lost in thought right? I've been like that a lot, so I just assumed. But I don't know...I was kinda curious I guess." He choked over his words and stumbled constantly, but at least he was speaking coherently. "What were you thinking about?" Wait. Maybe that was a rude thing to ask. It was her private thoughts. It could've been personal. "Nevermind. You don't have to tell me. I shouldn't have asked." He let a small laugh go in order to let her know that she really didn't have to say anything.

[/i][/font][/center] A tinge of a pink blush light up Nevoa's cheeks as she listened to Roran's laugh and comment. Sure it was good natured but it was still at her in a sort of way... Wasn't it? As the continued along with the dance though Nevoa felt more and more and easy. When Roran threw in the few spins she could help but let the light laugh escape her lips. She was having fun and they weren't face planting like she though they would. And he could dance even though he said he could! What a turn of events.Looking up at the his face she was held by his gaze though. Before she would look around some at the other dancers but now? Her brown eyes stayed relatively fixed on the male's thoughtful gaze. He was thinking something, she could tell, and she couldn't help but wonder what. Her wish, if you could count a thought a wish, was answered however when he asked her a question. Any trace of a smile fell from her face immediately upon hearing the question and her gaze dropped to instead staring at his chest, just so she wouldn't meet his eyes. He he dismissed the thought she shook her head, causing strands of her brown hair falling into her face. "No... No it's fine.... I hear all the time that talking about the things you bottle up can help but..." Her voice trailed off and once more she bit her bottom lip but this time because she wasn't sure where to begin. Do you tell a man you just met that you were attacked by some unknown figure and it caused a chain reaction which in turn lead to the disappearance of your Absol? Was that something you told to someone who was practically a stranger to you, someone who you only knew by name? "I lost my Absol. It's a rather long story to be honest... But he's been missing for awhile now... I promised I'd meet up with him after we split up but... I haven't seen head or tails of him since..."[/color] Suddenly everything but talking became a whole lot more interesting to her.[/color] Trying to force a smile on her face Nevoa glanced up at Roran and gave a slightly forced laugh that seemed rather... Empty. "We shouldn't dwell on it. I'm sure he's fine. He's a tough guy and won't be taken out easily."[/color] If only she knew the truth, the story that she knew nothing about, the story of Elegy's disappearance. Of how easily a black Charizard took him out and delivered him straight to the man who she thought had helped her after she was injured. If only she knew just how wrong her statement was.

Roran twirled her once more. He loved to see the fabric of the dress lift and spin with his steps. He loved to see the loose strands of brown hair be captured by the force and then frame her face perfectly when the spin was over. But perhaps his favorite was that look she got on her face right before he did a twirl. Was it a quick moment of fear because it was unexpected? Was it joy once she realized what he was doing? Whatever it was, even if it was everything at once, he loved it.
But of course, his face took on a more serious expression as she spoke about her absol. It must be horrible to lose a pokemon. He wouldn't be able to bear it if any of his precious things were taken. "I know it must be horrible," he said as he caught the look on her face that told him to move on. But he had to say something else. "Please, just keep hopeful. I'm positive that it's alright and you'll find it eventually." He gave another smile. How could you not believe every word he said? He was just too sincere. "And remember, if you ever need help, you can just call me. I'll be there in a heartbeat." He meant it. He would search high and low for that absol if she wanted him to. Infact, that sounded quite fun. Roran and Nevoa trekking through the wildnerness on a search for the lost absol. Roran was absolutely positive that things were turn out fine. Of course, he never even considered what really might be brewing.

[/i][/font][/center] Nevoa just listened as he spoke the kind words to her about her missing Absol. It was touching, really it was, but... Could she take truth in his words? Sure they sounded sincere but... Who was she kidding? Roran had been nothing but kind to her this whole evening if you didn't include the perverted touching. Though as she thought back to the situation her face grew a bit more pink shaded. Best to ignore that part of the story for now.When he offered to help her find her Absol though a bright smile lite up her face. "We'll you'd be more then welcome to come along but it's pretty difficult to call someone when you don't have their number."[/color] She grinned from ear to ear at the statement before listening as the current song came to a close. Another would be starting soon but would they dance again? She had to say that she had never had this much fun dancing before. This was probably the most successful evening she had had since she lost Elegy and maybe even before that. She couldn't help herself. [/blockquote][/blockquote]

Oh! That was a very good point. He hadn't given her a number. "Remind me to give it to you later," he said as the song came to a close. He didn't use his phone enough to know his number off the top of his head and he definitely didn't wish to interrupt this evening. It was going perfect in his opinion. He met someone new, she had a beautiful soul, and it looked as if they could become really good friends. They definitely had a future together if Roran made sure to try to keep contact.
"The song is over" Thank you captain obvious. He was just trying to be a gentleman. He looked to her eyes once more and smiled. "Would you like to dance again? Or perhaps something else?" Did this boat have an other activities? Or was it just a dance? Oh! They could play truth or dare! "Wanna play truth or dare?" This could be very fun.
((Lol Kimmie. Truth is self explanatory, but dare would be fun too. We can have them leave this thread for a second, go do something to someone else in another thread, and then leave that thread to come back here. XD))

[/i][/font][/center] Nevoa nodded stating that she'd remind him as she stepped off his toes and unhooked her hands from around his neck. Slipping her mask from his hand she grinned before bringing back up to her face before anyone else saw. "That was fun." She didn't have her phone on her though to exchange numbers and silently hoped that thanked the male for wanting to do it later. She grinned again when he mentioned the ending of the song but his question left he stumped. What were they going to do?[/color] Truth or Dare? Oh lord. She always ended up choosing truth, got made fun of, switched to dare only to have them say that her dare was to eat a string cheese milkshake. Okay so that was just one of the many stupid dares that she was forced to do but what was the problem with truth? It could be incredibly awkward depending on who you were with. "Do you have a crush on so and so?" And what do you know, so and so is in the room staring holes into you. Awful experiences. AWFUL. Nev gave a sheepish smile to the boy before rubbing the back of her neck with her free hand. "I won't say that I'm an good at it, in fact I'm rubbish at it, but sure. We can play that.." As more music started to pick up the brunette turned her attention to the other dancers. "...If we're going to play we might want to get off the dance floor...."[/color] It was a logical thought.[/color] [/blockquote][/blockquote]
