”Dancing requiyaires grace and elegance...and zat was more like yur legs waire jinxed.” It was his attempt at a joke, although he wasn’t sure he’d hit the playful mark with this tone. It had been a very long time since he’d attempted banter with anyone. Usually he stuck to quips that made people uneasy and wonder if he was flirting. Or... he was simply mean. But he wasn’t flirting with Alba and he wasn’t trying to be mean. No, he was actually trying to make her laugh which was something Valentin Roux did not do. He followed it up with a look that implied, ‘flattery will not get me to sing with you,’ but also said, ‘I do enjoy compliments so keep them coming.”

Oh!! he had noticed the finger wave. In fact, it had turned his flirty smile into a happy smile. A happy smile that may have only lasted for about two seconds, as it hadn't escaped Valentin’s attention that the man had been busy talking to a leggy blond lady. ”You are imagineng things,” he told Alba, still holding her hand as he led the way to the refreshment table. The fact that a man might not share his romantic tastes had never stopped him from flirting before, but he wasn’t in the mood to try and turn a ‘no’ into a playful teasing that made it appear like he wasn’t hurt by the dismissal.

As they approached the refreshment table, he let go of Alba’s hand. The walk had given him the chance to process that he might have completely misread the entire situation. This was, after all, a work event. The leggy blond could be the man’s coworker and in case he was wrong, Valentin didn’t want him to have the wrong idea about Alba. He helped himself to a glass of wine and left Alba to order her own drink. ”Maibe latair,” he said to her comment about going over to introduce himself. The night was young and he didn’t want to appear to appetent. Besides, Alba had asked him to come to this event with her and he had agreed. Therefore he was required to spend at least a little time with her. Yes, required, because he wasn’t quite ready to admit he had come along because he enjoyed Alba’s company.

”Quoi!?!” Valentin exclaimed perhaps a bit too loudly as a young lady (Topanga) began belting out a song. ”Eez zis tru-lee a song?” because it was quite obnoxious. The song, not necessarily the lady’s voice. ”We are not singeng a song lik zat.” Blink….waiiiiittt…...had he just agreed to sing?

Alarm bells went off in his head, because yes. YES he had just agreed to sing with Alba. Groooooaannn….. he buried his nose into his wine glass and took a few big gulps. He refused to look in Alba’s direction (or at the man arcoss the room). Maybe she hadn’t caught his slip up.

At...at HIM? Oh. Interesting development. He smiled at him and gave a little finger wave of acknowledgement as he watched him walk off.

Once again she was reminded how much she had missed Valentin and how happy she was he was back. "I bet you sing beautifully." Alba added not pushing the matter just yet... but she had a feeling .. maybe after the drink ... she could convince him to do it. And then ... was that a blush upon Vale's face? Alba was sure of it! And he was blushing while looking at a gentleman across the way. "Vale, I think he waved back to you!" She told him smiling from ear to ear ... maybe she could play match maker ... and then it hit her ... that small tinge of jealousy .... Alba couldn't understand why .. she had known from the very beginning who Valentin was, he had made it no secret, and Alba didn't care at all, she was looking for a friend ... but maybe that where the jealousy arose from. If Vale started dating ... would she loose her friend? Trying to shake off the feeling and still be upbeat she turned back toward Vale. "Should we go introduce ourselves?? Or perhaps you already know him?" He seemed to have connections in all places so maybe he already did know him. ”Dancing requiyaires grace and elegance...and zat was more like yur legs waire jinxed.” It was his attempt at a joke, although he wasn’t sure he’d hit the playful mark with this tone.
