An Unfamiliar City, A Familiar Embrace

Mina stood on her tiptoes, to catch a glimpse of the happy couple, seeing Ruth and Dora just behind them, a brow raising slightly as she noticed the redness in the dwarf's cheeks. That might be something for her to tease her companion about later, when he had a few drinks. What had he said to make their favorite dwarf turn that shade of red? And why hadn't he kept saying it to her, if the look on the woman's face was anything to go by. Mina had lain with several dozen people over her years, some trying to feel alive, some trying to forget a lost love, some trying to run away from something -- her most recent encounter with her "date" had been along those lines -- she knew him well enough to know that when he had been balls deep inside her, he had been imagining someone else -- they had laid together enough times that she knew when he wasn't seeing her.

Not that she minded that, as she cast a smile up to Colt, Have they been dancing around one another for as many years as the gossip says? Over a decade at this point, yeah? And then he was asking her to dance, with that easy smile of his, his body drawing closer to her, and she was immediately unaware of anything else going on but him. It was surprising to her, just how easy he made it to shut out the rest of the world when he looked at her like that, one brow raised a little higher, bringing out the signs of age along his forehead -- the way the corner of his mouth raised with it, shockingly blue eyes, rimmed in black, looking at her like she was the only person on all of creation that mattered. I would highly suggest it, and have it be the first one too, since it look like someone else has already talked him onto the floor.

Mina pointed out that the man seemed otherwise engaged and then slotted her fingers between Colt's, before she moved their joined hands to the middle of her back, her other hand seeking out his other -- it was a slick move, to place them in perfect position to just start dancing, no need to wait to get closer to the cleared area, they were free to swing on as soon as another couple or two made their way on the floor. And now you're trapped with me as your first dance, oh no! Mina grinned widely, as she nearly vibrated with excitement that Colt was going to be the first one to dance with her in this dress.
