Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Nadja]

"Everything." Seth stated in a flat tone. "You don't listen."

His eyes were locked on hers as well, until the waltz came to an end. His eyes lifted for a moment as the familiar beat of the song's intro played. A smirk slowly spreading across his face. It had been awhile.

Then there was a distinctive chord that signaled the beginning of the dance. At which his arms shifted positions and locked her in a tight hold. Smooth yet sassy music flowed, just as Seth's feet did across the floor. The man taking long purposeful strides across the polished wood.

There was tension in their movements, and in the locked gaze the both shared. Still, they strode flawlessly across the floor at Seth's lead. Another distinct chord and he suddenly whipped the red head around in a tight spin, which she responded to beautifully.

The way his legs moved at some points, it almost seemed impossible for him to make the steps without his legs being disjointed. A sudden clap of his heel, and the pair were striding across the floor once again.

[Faleen]

The monocle man removed his monocle for a moment as he also withdrew a silk handkerchief which he used to polish the glass of his eye piece. However, as Faleen approached, he turned his attention towards her and lifted the monocle a couple inches from his face to look at her.

"Good evening young lady! I trust you are enjoying yourself on this festive occasion?" He asked while taking a bow in return with one hand in front of his stomach and the other behind his back. He then stood straight again and replaced his monocle on his face.

@ Couple

"Business, y'say." Sorano mildly commented lowly after the woman. To him, this woman was standing on a rather high pedestal. One little teeter could send her tumbling to her death, which, at that moment, didn't sound quite too bad. He regarded her stare towards his Wigglytuff though only brushed it off. But her jitterbugging increased tenfold with the look.

"Ahh, it'sa pleasure to meetcha too Tethys" Lies. "Aha, I guess yer right. Crowded places jus' git me a lil' shaken up, is all. What sort business, 'ay I ask?"

Sorano flicked his head to the left for a moment, eagerly waiting for his partner to find him and fast. Something about the woman made his uncomfortable. Hell, that wasn't uncommon though. Most women did. Looking to the Shaymin, he wondered how the bloody hell they got their hands on one. Those sure are rare, so he thought, so it was no surprise the fellow had one scurrying about his shoulder. Regarding its expression made the Rocket think more. Did he have something on his face?

(Sao)

It seemed a little unusual for a band to go from a waltz to a tango, but it wasn't an unpleasant switch. Mau switched his grip on Nyx's hand, pulling her closer and holding a staring pose just long enough to whisper "follow my lead" in a low voice. With a kick step back, Mau spun Nyx once before stepping into her again, his steps guiding her back before stopping, again being quite close to Nyx before a quick spin and he looked to his left. "Don't watch Nadja so obviously either." He murmured.

@Aila

Outwardly, Liam cocked an eyebrow and said coolly, "Tango?" Inside, however, his full squirtliness was chattering away. T-t-tango? I n-never thought I'd have to... y-y-you know... do it in public! He nodded, careful not to open his mouth again so soon for fear of letting all of the nervous thoughts slip out of his mouth.
He steadied himself with a deep breath and a few chants of Oh Arceus watch over me before holding his arm out to Aila and bowing deeply. "Shall we, my dear?" he asked, laying on the charm extra thick.

{Faleen}

Carl wilted as Faleen excused herself from the dance floor. Bruce rubbed on his pant leg.

{Sorano}

Tethys opened her mouth to respond but was promptly cut off by Deimos, "Oh you know, acquisitions, foreign trade. That sort of thing. I own a growing company based in Sinnoh. A real close-knit team." He turned his eye back on the table to pluck a crab cake from an ornate silver dish.

The woman did not comment on the interruption, but let her gaze wander for a moment while Deimos spoke. It was less casual viewing than focused surveillance. "Deimos is a man with vision," she added, snapping back suddenly to Sorano. Her eyes were dark and ardent.

(Mau + Moloch)

There was something startling about switching from one type of dance to another, especially when you weren't paying attention. Nyx let out a startled gasp when Mau pulled her close and then spun her. Following someone's lead was all fine and good, but Nyx had never done this dance, either, but unlike the waltz, all she was able to do was be spun and not trip. The tango was a dance of passion, and that was a foreign concept to the woman.

"What? I'm not staring!" Nyx protested with a forceful whisper, even though she kept catching as many glances of the redhead whenever she crossed their path. At least the quick pace of the dance required the agent to focus more on her dance partner and what their feet were doing and less on everything else.

Darwin grabbed the Arcanine's raised paw in one hand, placed his other on the canine's shoulder, and proceeded to try to get the dog to dance with him. Dancing was fun, no one should have to sit and watch everyone else have fun!

As the evening wore on more and more Pokémon appeared, gradually released from their poké balls for their owners to show off. It wasn't long before an elegant dragonair was released across the room. The owner, a woman with deep brown hair hanging past her waist and a slinky purple dress stood nearby, smiling indulgently as people admired her pet.

The jewel-like orbs hanging around the dragonair's neck and tail were an unusual shade of purple, matching the woman's dress.
