Emily agreed, again, they seemed to be doing a great deal of that. "I know exactly what you mean, it's similar in the field. You get too caught up on what you could expect or should expect, imagine the worst case scenario, try to make too much of the challenges you're presented with... only to find it's not always as complicated as it first seems. Sometimes, the answers, are those we've dismissed as being too easy and therefore not likely possibilities."

They seemed to have transitioned into the next song easily, adjusting their rhythm and timing to the slower tempo. Dancing, from memory, usually felt like work. There were impressions to make, social etiquette to practice, and the company was generally stiff and at the least, was little to be desired. Dancing with Vic though, was pleasant. Cheeky? Hardly. "You walked right into that one," she justified.

Vic's single laugh amused her. He required a definition of intimidating? ... how very curious. "Intimidating, to overawe, to evoke feelings of being inhibited..." were the standard definitions that she offered, but offered a clarifying point, "seeing as I'm your scary boss lady now." She used the terms he'd used earlier, they were actually starting to grow on her. Scary boss lady, Sir, had a nice ring to it.

Vic slowed down with the music, the wheels in his head didn't though. And instead of grinning he gave a quick small smile when she bowed her head. It was a gesture that revealed just a tiny bit of something he hadn't seen before. His small smile was gone as she went on with how things were for her side of the job, he was thoughtful, "It's brilliant, really. Do you think Ravenclaws have a bad case of this blind-to-the-simple-truth than the others?" This was a joke, of course. Well, only partially.

He chuckled again, but this time it was a bit low, the music somehow forced him to be quieter. "Touche."

His attention was focused on her question and definition of being intimidating which turned out to be the default definition, really. He smiled a little and was a little closer so that he could talk without any of the other twirling couples could hear them, just in case he put his foot in his mouth with his answer. "Well. I don't think being intimidating is an absolute state, if you're asking whether I have certain inhibitions when I hang out with you, then of course yes. You're sometimes hard to read, and I figured that you're not a typical Ravenclaw girl. I tread lightly." A grin made its way to his face at this. "If you mean whether or not I'm scared of taking risks and push the scary boss lady's buttons sometimes, harmlessly..." PAUSE.

PAUSE...

Pause. "... then no."It was something a Gryffindor would say or do. Looking at their family tree, Vic knew he got taking risk as a family inheritance. Not very shiny. "Not because you're not intimidating, but because scary implies unfair too, and you don't hit me as an unfair person." To a prosecutor, being unfair was most terrifying and horrible of all.
