I promised DayaLuna if she reviewed I'd update - so here's another moment, set before Isla Yura's, but a little after Salbier.
Moment 2: A fleeting dance, if trodding on feet can be called dancing.
He was supposed to be keeping an eye on Sharon, after all it had been sometime since she had last been to something as public as a ball, and yet, his eye wandered through the crowd, wishing for a better task.
"Not going to dance?" Blinking, Break turned his eye to his left where yet another female in pink stood, although the annoying shade wasn't the colour of her dress, which was deep crimson, but her hair.
"Ah, I think not. Shouldn't someone have whisked you onto the floor by now?" Break asked, a small smile playing at his lips.
"A few have asked," the woman relented, leaning on the wall beside Break, "But they were all overbearing show-offs who couldn't stop talking to my breasts."
Break laughed, "Oh dear, I gather they didn't like the attention?"
The woman smiled, "No, nor did I. I thought I'd try to find my own partner, but if you don't want to, Hatter…" she let the sentence drift for a moment before turning and making to leave.
"I never said I didn't want to Miss Lotti. The problem is I never believed it worth my while to learn to dance," Break said, his eye trained firmly on Sharon's location, even if his mind was elsewhere.
"Oh? Well then, that does change things," Lotti purred taking the albino's arm, he tensed but seeing as she wasn't melting or some other such horror, Lotti guessed he wasn't to bothered by the action, even as she pulled/dragged him to the crowd of dancers. "It's simple enough, just do the reverse of my move."
Break was thankful for the great number of people, all too busy ogling their partner or focused on their steps that no one saw his reddening cheeks as he stepped on Lotti's foot for the sixth time, though the woman had yet to complain, "Sorry," he muttered apologetically.
"It's fine, but you're really bad at this," Lotti chuckled.
"Don't I know it," Break said rolling his eye.
The song finished a few minutes later, but the pair had separated tlong before the other dancers left the floor, for fear of awkward questions for which neiter had an answer.
Yup, another pointless moment that won't happen. Please review, they make me happy.
