He was sure that Sophie appreciated it too. Probably what kept her calling him by the name, if Zander had to make a guess. Like she said before, teasing was her thing. So really, by scrunching his nose he was doing HER a favor. Heh. Smooth moves, eh? ... Well, actually now that she mentioned it, "We're in luck too 'cause I've actually been working on my dancing." He was pretty proud actually. He had come a very long way from the flailing arms bit he tried out at the music festival over the summer. Who knew Agatha Hapgood was actually a good teacher?

But anyways, he looked down as Sophie let go of his hand to remove her own mask. "Oh, maybe I should take off mine too then since everyone else is--" ... "Actually, I'm just going to leave it on. Don't want people assuming things if they see that you're not dancing with Tobes, y'know?" Of course friends could dance together and stuff, but it just... Zander didn't want anyone making a big deal out of it or anything. That stuff tended to happen around here too.

He glanced down as Sophie tucked her mask into his suit and then looked up to give her a small grin. Aaaaaand to the dance floor, it is! He followed quickly behind her, knowing that midnight meant the event would soon come to an end. They had to at least catch the last song before the masquerade ended! He hadn't danced at all yet! It'd definitely defeat the entire purpose. Once they reached the dance floor, he held his arms up-- positioned just like he was taught at the music festival-- and waited for Sophie to follow suit, before starting to sway to the music. He even held up his arm so that she could twirl underneath. See, totally smooth moves right here, ladies and gents.

He'd been working... on his dancing? Really? Sophie had a sudden mental image of Zander Adair dancing with himself in front of the mirror in his dormitory, swaying and twirling a non-existent partner and taking it all way too seriously. Why had he been practicing, hm? Was there someone in particular he had wanted to impress? Since he was a prefect and played a part in the whole masquerade... had he known there'd be dancing and want to be good for a REASON? But just what WAS that reason?

Sophie was incredibly curious, but she resisted the urge to inquire. For now. Instead, she simply replied, "That's good, then. The boy's supposed to be a good leader, so where you lead, I'll follow." HEHEHE. She gave his hand a happy little squeeze, but she faltered when Zander... seemed to WANT to take off his mask, then thought better of it. Why would he...? Why didn't he want to be seen with her? Was he embarrassed? Or was there another girl that he didn't want to make jealous- oh. He was worried that people would think badly for THAT reason? Pfft. Pffffffft.

"Zander, a girl and boy can dance together as friends and not have it mean anything. Everyone knows Tobes - he's so cool 'bout everything. I doubt anyone would even think that us dancing together'd be a problem. They'd just see two friends dancing together, okay?" If they had seen them kiss, MAYBE it would be a different story, but... just dancing? Naw. Sophie Brown very gently took Zander's mask off FOR him and nicely tucked it into his suit to join hers. Just to PROVE that she had no problem letting people see them dancing together. "If anyone tries to cause trouble 'bout this, y'send 'em to me. I'll take care of it."

Feeling VERY pretty and princess-like now, Sophie let Zander lead them further into the dance floor and grinned when he got into position - he sure knew what he was doing, didn't he? - and placed her hands nicely where he wanted them to go, then followed his lead as he guided them to the music.

Not bad, Adair. Not bad at all.

... "TOOOOOOOOBES. NEXT DANCE IS YOURS," she called over the music, grinning huge at Zander and looking nowhere but his eyes, but letting the WHOLE WORLD know that this dance with Zander was nothing to worry about and was just for fun. Okay? That cleared everything up, then. AND she wanted Tobes to come find her, though, for real, because she had tried way too hard to look beautiful for him tonight for it to go to waste. Where WAS HE? But. "There. Now we can relax. Tobes is gonna be on standby, but for now s'just you 'n me. Let's not worry too much, 'kay? Dancing with you is nice. You're good at this. Maybe Tobes'll want to dance with you, too. We could all dance together. Bet that'd be cute." Could he imagine? She could, and it was hilarious.
