Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thud. K'tai's vision tilted as he was knocked off balance momentarily, his glasses slipping down his nose. Firmly planting his boots in the ground, he turned to see the culprit and his expression shifted from surprise to a small smile. He tried his best to not pay much mind to the grabbing of his arm, as he shared his own awkwardness when it came to the ladies. Especially within this proximity.

"Oh, hey.." He shook his head promptly, quickly wanting to dissuade any worry she might have. "Don't worry, it happens a lot at these things, haha. Lots of people not watching where they are going, including me!" Laughing he turned to face her more directly, his eyes dropping as he noticed her fidgeting a little. "Hey, what's your name? I'm K'tai. I don't think I've met you before." He tried his best to distract her. Then he realized perhaps she had been on her way to somewhere, and added, "Don't let me keep you, though, if you had a destination to reach." He smiled. It wasn't often the blue rider went out of his way to ask about others, but his curiosity worked in mysterious ways sometimes.

Another laugh escaped him as she mentioned them being the people that he was describing. "It's true. But hey, look what it's brought us. Someone to talk to." He grinned.

As she spoke he listened intently, his green eyes focused on her curiously. Perhaps it was through Kamuyth's love for listening in on facts about people, but he had grown to enjoy it quite well. "Lovely to meet you, Naressa. I've never become friends with a harper, maybe today is the day?" He gave a goofy smile, his attention pausing for a moment as she asked him to dance. Yes, it was kind of a shock she would ask -- even if they were at a gather. It was just quite uncommon a girl would ask him first.

Feeling his face grow warm slightly in embarrassment, he glanced away, still choosing to hold out his hand, palm upwards. "Sure. As long as you don't mine my two left feet." He smiled despite himself. Feeling a mental shove, his brows furrowed.

"Why are you still flustered so easily?" The blue's somewhat icy voice rang clear in his mind. "S-shush! I don't see you getting asked to dance by any girls." A laugh bounced around his mind, and he turned to see Kamuyth's eyes whirling blue as he found the comment quite amusing. "It's quite obvious to me all of the ladies are intimidated by how intelligent and handsome I am. It's okay, I can handle their admiration from afar."

Sigh. K'tai decided not to even reply to that, an awkward smile returning to his face as he looked at Naressa.

K'tai laughed. "Alright, alright. I'll try my best." He felt shy as her hand rested on his shoulder, and even more so as he moved to place his free hand against the small of her back. Holding her fingers between his, his focus fell onto the music; each note helping to guide his future movements. Ah, shards. He could already tell he was off rhythm slightly. Who decided it was guys who should do the leading, anyways? He was right terrible at it!

Grimacing briefly, he felt a smile take its place as she giggled. Well, at least someone was having fun. "Let me know if there's something I can do better. I'm not very... musically inclined. I feel like I have a hard time really letting loose and allowing the music to guide me." Over time he felt more comfortable, but he could still tell he needed work. "I'm not quite sure how people are able to do that," he smiled gently. Remembering she was a harper, his eyes lit up as he looked towards her mid dance, his pace quickening as they turned. "What made you want to become a harper? I'm rather curious. I grew up in a household of handymen, so it's something that's quite elusive to me."

The bluerider gave a soft smile as she attempted to explain in courtesy of his question, and broke into a quiet laugh when she mentioned it just calling to her. He knew that feeling quite well. The love he held for creating things, handiwork, science... it simply was. He could try to explain it, but would probably not do very well, either.

He had accepted her encouragement silently, still somewhat embarrassed with his lack of dancing skills. Ah well, at least he hadn't tripped on her feet or something ... yet. Pushing the thought into the back of his mind, his attention refocused onto her when she asked about flying. Oh, flying. The grandest of experiences. "It's marvelous," he began, the smile on his face growing exponentially larger as he continued. "It was one of my greatest dreams to fly. I have always been quite enamored by the concept of flight.. so when I Impressed, well. All of my dreams came true." His feet moved lightly as they continued their dance, his eyes still glancing downwards in order to make sure he wasn't stepping on her toes.

"It's the most liberating feeling I've ever felt. No one else around but your dragon, your thoughts entwined as you drift over a warm, orange horizon. It's a silence that can, at the same time, feel quite loud. All of your problems fade away and you are left bare, the rawest of emotions swirling deep inside." He paused, suddenly realizing how enthusiastic he had become about this description, and blushed. "And, uh, well, I really like it!"

Quickly distracting from himself, he added, "I'm sure you'll find out what it's like soon enough!"
