"I don't think I've met your family yet...." For reasons. Yes. Reasons. "I didn't have anywhere else, the hunters found me and gave me an offer I couldn't really turn down. A home, a job, a reason to live."
Turning he smiled at Jordan proper again, less of the sad mopy talk, he reached up hesitantly to brush some of Jordan's hair aside. "T-thanks...."

"I'm sure you've seen Andy around. Tall, weedy, blonde kid, head in the clouds constantly, looks like he might trip over his feet at any second." Jordan grinned. "I've made him bring me lunch a few times, when he owes me favors."
He looked startled for a moment at the touch, then returned the smile, sincere and pleased. His hand rested briefly on Ro's back, but he let it drop back to his side after a few seconds. No sense freaking the guy out.

"Yup. I think I've seen him trip once or twice, he usually managed to save himself from it. Seems nice."
Ro was confused by the startled look, he wasn't sure he made a right choice or the wrong one the way Jordan looked, but the smile was back, sincere and sweet. The hand on his back causing him to stand a bit taller and a smile along his own face followed by a blush as he looked away walking quietly.

"As his brother, I am unable to confirm or deny that he could possibly be nice." Jordan grinned. "My opinion is a deeply biased one."
He let the conversation lapse for a little while, walking with Ro in a comfortable silence. He liked Ro. They worked together fairly well, and the younger man was good company, even if he was shy. Jordan had been working on drawing him out for some time, with mixed success. He would consider this not-a-date a step in the right direction, anyway.
"Ready for this, party animal?" he asked as they approached the building.

"As his brother I think your obligated to just call him names make jokes and avoid the subject unless someones being a complete jerk." He chuckled a bit. "Very biased indeed."
Silence was indeed welcomed, a few people understood the quiet moments where welcome, Otto was a good example, the two never really spoke but got along perfectly well in the same room without it. Today of course was a win for many people, Jordan convinced Ro to attend the dance. Em and Julio would be thrilled Ro was 'seeing someone' even if it wasn't REALLY a date.
Standing at the door to the ball Roland shook his head. "Nope. But it's too late now isn't it?"

"I am allowed to be a total jerk to Andy. Nobody else is, and Ferros and I will make damn sure of that," Jordan said solemnly. "Them's the rules." He gave Ro a sympathetic sideways look. "If you really want, we could go off to the lounge or something and just hang out. But the food wouldn't be as good." And if both of them were missing from the ball, there might be assumptions, particularly on the part of Ro's parents, but Jordan wasn't mean enough to remind him of that outright.

Ro frowned a bit, it felt as though he struck a nerve when talking about Andy, and that instantly made him worry he had upset Jordan. "Sorry, I didn't realize you where so protective of him... I...." He paused as Jordan suggested the lounge and quickly shook his head.
"N-no," he looked to the doors again and took a deep breath, "We're here... and I agreed to this so..." Very slowly a hand moved towards Jordan offering to be held. "I'm going to do this. Because I said I would. I keep my promises."

"Hey, it's fine. I always protected him when we were growing up, it's a habit. Can't hover over him any more, not when he's a Moon, but I still worry about him, you know?" Jordan smiled a small, wry smile. "I'm proud as hell, but I'm always going to worry."
He took Ro's hand, holding it lightly. "How about because there's going to be food and music and there might be some fun in there somewhere along the way?" he suggested, smiling.

"So how often does he end up saving your hide as a moon now? You know, when the bad guys hear your stomach growl because you're out of snacks..." He gave his own playful smile before settling in, they where holding hands. No biggie.
"... Yeah I like you reason better. Food, music, and fun." Reaching forward he tugged on the door to the ball room opening up so they could wander inside.
