This was all such a new experience, the dance, the boyfriend, but he didn't seem bothered, or he was just being oblivious. "It really was awfully kind. Nice break from the monotony of classes and the usual hogsmeade visits."
Not to mention, a first real date. Technically they had the date in muggle London over the summer, but that was as friends. This was their first real date as a couple. Their debut. When he faced her and complimented her, she felt her cheeks growing warm. It was so genuine and honest and was this real life? "Thank you," wow. Never in a million years did she think this could be happening to her. Well, the dress and shoes maybe, but with an American who asked her out while battling a dementor because he thought of her?
Following his lead down the stairs, she grinned when he joked with her. And that was the Brent she recalled. "Watch it, or I might just find my heel in your shoe," she teased back, as she gazed ahead down at the ballroom floor. Oh look, there was Vivian and Felicity, who looked pretty as ever. With her hand not looped with Brent's, she lifted it slightly from the railing and gave a little finger wave back. Hmm, they were talking to Madelyn too? Suddenly dizzy, she kind of hoped Brent didn't see her, but then the blond seemed to have found a male suitor to dance with, for wish Sky was rather grateful for. Although, despite it, she also thought if he wanted to have a dance with his ex, it wouldn't have been so bad. He was with her now, now Madelyn and a dance was just as harmless as the hug. And his patronus was for her, anyway as she discovered, so she would be okay. Changing one's patronus was something that wouldn't happen from one dance.
"Well, if I do fall, you'll at least go first so you can you catch me?" Maybe a possibility. Carrying her was also a possibility, but he didn't seem bothered by the fact that they were missing half the dance due to taking their time walking. Truth be told, she wasn't either. It was actually nice to enjoy the quiet night air before arriving to the ship.
Brent paused and turned to look at her. "Skylar, I came to this dance to be with you. Whether we're walking to the ship, going down this staircase, or...doing whatever else this ship has to offer, I'm in no hurry to do it as long as I'm with my girlfriend," he said. He changed his gaze to a random spot on the wall for a brief second. He was still somewhat shy to tell her things like that. It was true, though, so he turned back to look at her just before leading her down the rest of the stairs. "Yeah, it's really cool. I mean...a cruise ship. Right here at Hogwarts. They went all out!"
He laughed when she joked about putting her heel in his shoe. "Ouch. Such politeness, Skylar," he said, giving her a fake expression of pain. A high heel in his shoe really did seem painful, though. His eyes surveyed the ballroom, and he had a feeling of...something or another...when he saw Madelyn across the way. He didn't want to choose her over Skylar...not anymore, but he still felt this weird feeling in the pit of his stomach. He diverted his attention back to Skylar. "You want me to fall first, so I can catch you?" he repeated. "That's another thing I'll have to think about. I mean, this is a really nice suit." He winked at her. "You're not going to fall. I promise." He hoped so, at least, and if she did. he'd of course catch her. "Alright, so what first? Dancing? Food?" He was game for whatever.
