Hiroki sat with his elbow on a table his chin in the palm of his hand. He listened as each name was called out, he knew he had put his name in to take part in a dance but as the calling out continued he'd started to think he wasn't going to be fortunate enough to actually take part. So when the final pairing was called out he wasn't even really listening.
Tiffany, who had been sitting near Hiroki smacked him upside the head and gave him a shove. "Hey Hiroki, get your feathery butt over there before you are disqualified for not even getting on the floor!"
Hiroki nearly fall off his chair not expecting the push "What? ... Oh... oops" he blushed lightly and then walked to the floor to see who it was he'd be dancing with. Finding out he'd been paired with Phaenna he offered the grey pae his hand and bowed slightly to her as the music started, May I have this dance? he asked mostly to be a gentleman.

She was a goddess of celebrations, so of course she looked forward to parties, even if her mother's shenanigans made her sigh often. But this was a special party, and so Thalia figured she could relax and enjoy herself. Engagement parties didn't happen every day, after all, not even with Venus, and there was no small amount of excitement on Thalia's part. It was also exciting in general to have her siblings gathered. She wasn't sure about the others, but work for her usually kept her busy, and so she didn't see them as often as she'd like. Thalia would have to do something about that. Anyway, she needed to pay attention and see who she'd be paired up with to dance. She hoped they were at least an alright dancer. She wouldn't be angry her partner was clumsy, really. But it would at least save her the saltwater soak for her feet later, or the creams for any bruises from sharp elbows. Rocking slightly on her feet, she waited as names were called down off the list- "Thalia..." -ah, there she was! "and Hjortur." Oh. Oh! She had not even realised he was there! Attempting to hide her grin, she stepped forward to find him. Not only had he attended, but then for him to be here and paired with her? Very lucky! And she had the added bonus of remembering what he looked like, and so he was easy to pick out of the attendant pae. Coming up to him, she found herself not really caring if he was a good dancer or not as she held out a hand with a chuckle and a warm smile. "May you have this dance?" Ah, what a relief it was to be able to approach him without a distracting blinding migraine.

Hjortur was a pae who loved any sort of celebration, so of course he would have appeared at the engagement party of one of the island's Goddesses. Thinking back, why had he not come to her previous Valentine's parties? It was almost strange, knowing himself. Though, prior to a little adventure of his own many seasons past, he hadn't really thought to venture to the surface.
Afterwards, when he'd returned home, he'd fallen into the same routine once more. The only thing for him to look forward to left on the land was that beautiful angel he had spent so many, yet far too few, days with on the island in the summer's sun. They had sworn to meet each other on another occasion, but that was impossible if he was submerged.
Perhaps there was a slight hope that she'd be here...
Nah, what were the odds that she, a single pae, would appear here before him?
It was only natural he had entered this dancing competition, given his cheerful demeanor. The armbands from the adventure decorated his skin as his attire for the evening, his shell and canteen carefully set down beside him. Naturally, he couldn't dance properly with those on him. " T-al-a ... and Hjortur" oh, he was called? Now which of Venus's beautiful daughters would he have the pleasure of dancing with this...
Wait...? WHAT?
Looking forward, he was nearly dumbfounded to see the figure of the beautiful angel from the beach before him, walking to him. Thalia. Oh bless the spirits they had reunited them. Did she even mention that she was a goddess? A very happy sort of grin came to play on his lips as she approached him and he stood in turn, bowing to her.
When she held out her hand, he took it and brought it to his lips, kissing it lightly. "It would be an honor to have this dance with you, again." Letting the hand fall, he guided her to the floor, practically aflow with excitement. "Have you been well? It is quite nice to see you again." A waltz? Hopefully he could adapt the naiad sort into one that could blend with the land pae'il's. Softly, he held out the hand joined with hers and placed the other on her back.
"May we begin, my lady?"

She grinned, having been selected to dance. She'd never really danced before in her entire life, but it couldn't be that hard, could it? It looked like so very much fun, and that was all Naomi was looking for. She curtsied, pulling her skirt out like a proper lady in the gesture. Sure, she'd never seen one before, but that wasn't going to stop her. The fae had even put a bunch of effort into making sure her hair was piled upon her head just right for tonight. She wanted to make a good impression.
Golden yellow eyes looked around for her dancing partner, curious as to where he might be hiding. They had a waltz to perform. Whatever that was. Well, clearly it was some sort of a dance, otherwise they wouldn't have been told to dance it right? Naomi smiled, walking straight up to the pae she thought was her dancing partner. "Are you my dancing partner?" She asked sweetly, wanting to start their dance. It was only fair right? Oh, she did hope this was the pae, he was a gorgeous one. They would make a beautiful couple on the dance floor. That was, after all, what she cared abotu the most.

Another year, another round of Mother's antics. Oh well, at least this year Eris couldn't cause the mayhem she'd caused last year. He shudders with the memory. The idea of not being in control of his own mind or body makes his skin crawl. But last year hadn't been all bad--in fact, this very dancing contest had introduced him to a mortal friend with whom he'd spent many pleasant hours. He'd hoped to see her here this year, but as he scans the crowd, he sees no sign of her.
Trying to hide his disappointment, he listens for his name. When it's called, he tries to find the lady with which he'd been paired. Ah--there she was. A fetching young pae'il with curly hair and skin the shade of the sky. She appeared to be one of those hoofed types. Iordanes isn't terribly familiar with them, having spent more time with faeries--the mortals with the gossamer wings.
Still, he puts on a smile and bows to Minuette as she approaches. At least her name was appropriate for the occasion. Hopefully her dancing skills lived up to her musical name.
"Good evening," he says, his voice a soft, lilting tenor. "I am Iordanes. I do hope my appearance doesn't upset you." He'd seen her expression when her name was called. He's not offended--he'd long been desensitized to the odd looks and the questioning faces. "Shall we dance?"

Euphrosyne bounces on the balls of her feet as she waits for her name to be called. She can hardly contain her excitement! She did so love to dance, but she could barely remember participating in this contest last year. Awful memories, that year. But she shakes off the negative energy and concentrates on the joyful anticipation welling inside her. Who would her partner be? What would he be like? There were so many beautiful mortals here to celebrate with Mother, and it could be any of them! Well, perhaps not any of them. It was likely she'd be paired with a male pae'il. But still, there were plenty of lovely men to choose from!
After what seems like an eternity, her name is called. She'd been paired with....Lucius? She looks around until she finds the deep blue male with see-through wings and an expression that told her that he's looking for her, too. She bounces over to him. "Are you Lucius? I'm Euphrosyne. Looks like we're partners! It's so good to meet you," she gushes. "I love your hair! Does it grow like that, white at the roots and dark at the tips? I wish my hair would do that!" She tucks a ginger curl behind her ear. She's always moving around too much for her hair to stay in place very long, even though she'd carefully coiffed it for this occasion.

Eros couldn't help his snickers when Venus called out his and his wife's name with the tagline of how unfortunate.
He thought it was fortunate, making sure his name was paired with his wife's on the list this year and not with some random other Pae'il she selected. He and his wife were back together now, and Eros couldn't be happier even a year later--though a year felt like seconds to the gods. The way the deity walked and talked hinted that he was on some kind of Cloud Nine, even when he spoke to his brothers and managed to go back to his typically sarcastic, grinning self.
When announced, Eros' eyes moved to find his wife over in the area they were having the contestants sit, a smirk playing on his face as he thought of how to greet her.
He would never miss her even amongst a mob, and started to shrug other people out of the way as he slipped towards her with the fast and fine grace of Hermes. With a careful swirl to sidestep his sister and one of the Pae'il mortals, he stopped at Psyche, suddenly sliding his left leg in front of the other and bowing deeply to her.
There was a small smirk on his lips as he picked up her hand and laid a kiss on it.
"My beautiful Psyche, may we have this dance? We will shine brighter than the sun on this day."
Had he borrowed that from Hedylogos?
...
Maybe.

Hymnaios adjusts his bow tie as Mother calls out the names of the couples. His ears p***k when he hears his name called. Hymnaios and...Naomi! Naomi. Well, it was a lovely name, at least. He looks around for who his partner might be, but she makes herself fairly obvious fairly quickly. She comes right over to him, hand extended, inquiring if he were her dancing partner.
"If your name is Naomi, then I am," he responds warmly, taking her hand and bowing over it, dropping a chaste kiss on the back of her hand.
Once the rest of the names were called, Hymnaios takes Naomi by the hand and leads her onto the dance floor. The waltz was his favorite dance, and he's happy that Mother had begun with it. He places one hand on Naomi's waist and holds her other hand aloft, then begins twirling them around the room. The waltz has such a beautiful rhythm to it, and he's caught up in the rhythm and the flourish of it all before he remembers that he's dancing with an actual person.
"Your dress is beautiful," he comments, trying to start a conversation.

Parvana had attended last year's celebrations, but that had ended in pure mayhem, and was not at all the civilized party she'd been expecting. And so she had elected to forgo Venus' engagement party this year, but the allure of partying with the deities was too strong for her to ignore completely. She'd decided to enter this dancing contest, even though she has almost no confidence in her ability. The erotes had to be more charming than last year's party.
She looks around for her dancing partner as her name is called. Dylo...that was the turquoise one, if she remembered correctly from last year. Ah--there he was. Slowly she approaches, a little bit starstruck to be actually speaking with some of Telrunya's most famous and powerful denizens. "H-hello," she says with a little wave. "I'm Parvana..." Don't blush don't blush don't blush....rats. She can feel the color creep into her cheeks, but thankfully it's mostly hidden by her skin tone.

That time of year again. The children had been beckoned home by Mother and there seemed to be something special going on this year. But first, the usual parade would have to commence. Not that one Erote minded so much. Afterall, he'd had quite a bit of fun last year before the whole 'being possessed' thing.
In fact, as the partners were being announced, he strolled into the ballroom, his yellow fauny partner from last year under one arm. The other was draped around a lovely little teal Fae. "Ah ladies, I fear we must part, at least temporarily," he crooned, shooting a sad look to the lady on each side. "But, try not to be too saddened. After all, when this is over, we can pick up where we left off, I promise," he winked.
Always leave 'em wanting more, Himeros.
He swept free from between the pair, smiling and taking their hands. Kissing Lemon Hearts' hand first, then Jeanette Isabella's, he grinned and flashed them a sultry look with those deep cobalt orbs. "Don't miss me too much. Maybe we'll even have a new friend," he chuckled, turning with a flourish to head for the dance floor.
Oh yeah, you still got it.
Glancing about, he just happened to catch the end of the announcement of his partner. Zest? Sounded...refreshing? Chuckling at the thought, he kept looking, searching for the fair lady that fit such a name. Unfortunately, he kept getting distracted by all the lovely Pae in attendance...how could his Mother expect him to dance with just one? Really!

It wasn't like she had much of a choice.
To be completely blunt, the goddess of glory did not want to be here. At all. Being removed from the contest first last year had left such a sour taste it her mouth that she wanted nothing to do with this...Silly contest.
But it was for mother.
Phaenna bit her lip. Rule number one. Never get dearest mother upset or angry over anything. And with that worldly knowledge in her head, here she was. On the dance floor with a mortal before her asking for a dance. She still did not like mortals or want anything to do with them but..This WAS for mother.
Phaenna turned to the male that had asked her to dance, putting on her best and probably bravest of smiles for him. What she wouldn't give to spend the night practicing her spear work. Thiswasformotherthiswasformotherthiswasformother. "Yes. Yes you may!" Phaenna finally replied offering her hand to the strange angel.Hopefully this night would be better then last year.
