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. Whoever said Americans didn't have manners? Were totally lying! Because when Brent paused to face her and gave his little piece, Skylar just felt all kinds of emotions welling up that she didn't know she had. He just wanted to spend time with her, his girlfriend. Slow down heart-rate, slow down, she mentally said, trying to calm her nerves. "I ... i don't know what to say," she whispered. Except she felt like an idiot for thinking she was delaying him, when he was just enjoying the moments with her.
Moving on ... from that awkwardness. She smiled, "All the time. Polite is my other middle name," she teased, as his eyes surveyed the room, and hers did as well again. She felt her hand involuntarily squeeze Brent's, a feeling of luck in his transferring here and how blessed she felt right now at that moment. "Oh look, Kane and Isa went together?" Isa had mentioned something to her a couple days ago, now that Skylar thought about it, although she had been distracted with her own thoughts about what she was going to wear. "They look great!"
"Uh ... yes? You're heavier than me and you'd crush me if you fell on me?" she explained casually. "Although then again, I'm wearing a dress and if I fell first, then you can shield me from flashing two schools." She said thoughtfully, taking another few tentative steps down the staircase, they were almost at the bottom, and once she stepped down the final step, he asked her what first. She glanced around tentatively. "Um, maybe food? I haven't eaten a lot today in getting ready," and thankfully her dress was a little loose to account for bloating. "Then dance." She was kind of looking forward to seeing the spin on her dress. And of course dancing with her first ever boyfriend, who was pretty much the sweetest.
