raganiazumiThe knight nervously glided across the dance floor. What was he supposed to do here? He knew dancing was a given but how do you ask someone to dance? Was there a way to do it or did he have to wait for someone to approach him. Either way was a dead end, too socially awkward to ask and too awkward in general to be asked. So in defeat he walked over to the wall and leaned against it, giving himself room to decide on what to do.

Gabriel had spotted his friend at the wall and went directly over to him. "Ah Dreamer, good to see you here. Are you enjoying the ball so far?" He smiled friendly to the younger cultist. As a victorian gentleman who had roamed upper class balls as a living Gabriel knew exactly how to act on such events. Sometimes he forgot that not everyone knew how to move around on such occasions. "Would you like a dance with me?" He held out his hand to the other cultist. "It would be an honour for me to have one with you my friend."
It sure was hard for the knight after his partner had left him, but Gabriel would gladly help to make sure that Dreamer thought about something else than that. After all such balls were there to have fun with friends.

Dreamer lifted his head as his Victorian friend called his attention, with a small smile he responded, " It's very nice, Tapi did an amazing job planning all this," he said as he glanced around at the décor one more time before added, " now if only I wasn't a nervous wreck at these sort of things."
When asked to dance the knight only managed a look hard deliberation on whether to accept or not. He couldn't dance at all but on the other hand he did hoped someone would ask him so he didn't seem like a stick in the mud.
Hesitately he nodded and took the other's hand, swallowing down his nervousness he said, " Yes, I'd like to dance with you." With that he proceeded to let his friend take the lead of their dance.

Leading his friend to the dance floor Gabriel smiled at him sympathetically. "Ah, what better cure there is for the nerves than dancing with a friend." He positioned them in the starting position, leading this dance.
"You know, I have been going on such events since the 1890 and they haven't really changed much besides music and fashion. In the core they are very much the same though, I do appreciate that some customs changed. For example, that one doesn't need to know the status of everyone on the party anymore. it was dreadful to learn those and in the cult people change ranks, which would make it impossible to do right without breaking the rules." He saw the nervousness in Dreamers face and added quickly." If you need any help, I will gladly answer any question you might have."

" Thank you Gabriel, I surely needed a friend to knock down these damn nerves of mine. " he stated as followed the vampires lead and positioned himself for their dance. " I don't do well in big crowds unfortunately, and after... things happened. I've struggled to sort of put myself out there." He admitted, it was hard to one day have someone you really cared about gone. Not like he regretted it, he made the choice to let go but it still hurt.

Gabriel knew just too well what those things had been and how the younger man must feel right now. "I am here for that and, may I give you a bit of advise? As a man who had his heart broken more than once I can assure you that hiding is not the key. It is hard at start but you should try and focus on something else. If you mingle in the same spot you will only grow tired and your thought weary. That has no use and quite frankly, it's dreadful and dangerous even in the worst cases. As hard as it is, but the world keeps turning, even in the face of immortality that can bite you in the behind." He hummed slightly.
The vampire remembered how he had ran after aim, tears streaming down his face while he searched for the ship that had left the harbour hours before Gabriel had even been awake. It had ended that he nearly had burned to death with only hiding in a cargo box when the first sunbeam reached the street he had been standing on.
Such scenario and the behaviour the man had after this incident, was not something he wished for his friend. Gabriel hoped that Dreamer might grow content again after a while of grieving and with the help of friends.

The knight unconsciously tighten his grip on the vampire, he was right. He wasn't going to live well if he kept himself in the shadows. He did it once when he first joined, so small and so scary of everything he was almost always surrounded by blue flames that were produced from his unstable supply of magic.
Those days alone only made him worse when he had to talk to others and he only got lonelier with each passing moments.
But now...he had someone who felt his pain, the sorrow, the regrets you feel after a situation he had to grow through. As he continued his dance with the vampire he knew deep down, no matter who the next person who held his heart was, he would always have the vampire and the many friends he made as he grew up. His grip tighten as his features soften, pressing his face again his shoulder he smiled as he said, " thank you... Thank you for the advice. I really need it and I really needed someone like you next to me for times like this. "
