Kurumi did notice the glimpse of some sort of emotion that wasn't a pleasant one on Adam's face, but she chose to ignore it. "He isn't coming," she said with a small shrug. Jonathan had his reasons and there was no convincing him otherwise - not that Kurumi had really tried. She knew how the Slytherin was around certain people and it was pointless to force the issue even if he enjoyed dressing up.
Kurumi was a little surprised when he took her hand again, taking control of the situation and Kurumi tried to just roll with it. Wobble was probably the better term for what they were doing to be honest. "Adam...maybe...you should dance with someone else," she finally said in a low whisper. "Obviously...I'm...I'm not the right person for this..." Because he was certainly uncomfortable and stiff as a board.
His shoulders actually slumped when she revealed that Jonathan wouldn't be making an appearance. Why was he actually feeling a bad thing about this? "
Oh." Was all he could say at the mention.

He looked up at her so quickly, since he was too focused on his feet, that he got a whiplash. "
No,no,no..." Adam spoke up in a frantic voice, as he rubbed the back of his neck trying to soothe the pain from the lash.
Not.The.Right.Person? His face contorted into a frown an he looked at her with sad puppy dog eyes. "
No...We're...right for this...I think." His own speech faltering with question. Was Kurumi right? If he danced with someone else would he actually be decent? Could he not dance because it was with Kurumi an things were so...different.
"
I'm just horrible at dancing...You can't be suggesting..that I...dance..with someone else? Because..I do want to dance with you." He told her in a weak voice. This was turning out worse then expected.
"
Maybe..I'll go dance with Nessie..Or Ellie..." Adam spoke in a quiet, slightly hurt tone, as he shuddered at the thought of having to dance with his 'sister.'
