Truthfully, Zero never understood the holidays, but he supposed they were more for people who actually enjoyed those kinds of things, rather than people like him.

Still, he had to admit that the ice sculpture station was probably the most peaceful place to be during the festival. At the very least, it wasn’t filled with too many people at the moment and the air around him was quiet, so the outlaw took the time to relax and enjoy the scenery around him.

Judging by the other soul present, it seemed like he wasn’t the only one either. Well, he might as well say something to break the ice a little.

( no pun intended. )

     “... Getting away from the crowd as well, I take it?”

[latrocinari]

     “Aren’t I glad to be left out of this mess. I don’t envy any of      you right now.”

Frankly, he’d be pretty pissed if he swapped bodies with someone.

so, zero’s not really one for festivities but he is for watching everyone be miserable in the cold ( even if they are having fun ). so basically, like this post for a winterfes starter! i’ll cap it around three for now!

     “Are you asking for one? I can easily give you one.”

     “I’ll do a free vibe check for anyone who needs it.”

Please don’t vibe check anyone, Zero.

he’d thought the cape would be less obtrusive — but no, leo still finds himself catching it on nigh anything he passes, when he least expects. still, it’s far too late to remove it without losing face, he feels, and so he will suffer silently. zero has surely noticed by now, but for once has had the good grace, if such exists within him, not to remark upon it.

it still surprises him, that he managed to ask his retainer to accompany him here. he’s not even entirely certain why he wished to attend, only that it had seemed like a good idea at the time, and only if the other had decided to accompany him instead of laughing it off or otherwise refusing. there’s a nagging thought that perhaps he only accepted out of duty rather than any willingness or want to attend, but just for this moment leo will try to forget.

in the midst of his ill-timed reflection and self-doubt, he is interrupted as zero speaks up for perhaps just the second time this evening. it catches him off guard — surely he must have misheard…

<<Parties are never fun. I don’t know why I — >> he shakes his head and refocuses his gaze upon the other. he hasn’t misheard.

<<A dance. With me. Is that what you said?>> he stops for a moment, words on the tip of his tongue and an overabundance of emotion fluttering about his head. should he feel strangely about this? somehow it seems like an extension of what he had wanted, from deep within: more time with him, to figure everything out. the first thing that comes out of his mouth this time isn’t quite what he had hoped it to be. <<Do you even know how to dance, Zero?>>

Ah, he’s embarrassed.

It’s a rather cute look, Zero thinks. Leo was never really a hard person to embarrass, especially since all one had to do was point out whether his clothes were on backwards or not, but it still made the outlaw’s lips curl in an amused smile. He chuckled lightheartedly at his words - not expecting him to ask him that, but he can’t say he’s too surprised either. Though he doesn’t indulge much in the activity nowadays, he did know how to dance.

     “A dance. With you. My, Lord Leo. I’m rather worried that you      might be losing your hearing. Do remember to take care of your      body.”

Gently, he took Leo’s hand in his after his teasing, giving his lord a bow with the amused smile still on his face. His hand was soft, warm. He couldn’t help but give it a gentle squeeze, wanting to feel more of it. Dark blue eyes look right up at him, twinkling in the light of the ballroom. He pulled him from his seat, leading him to the dance floor. It was filled with people, so they could blend in easily if they needed to, which he figured he might want to if he’s so embarrassed right now.

     “And here I thought you knew everything about me. I suppose      I can’t fault you too much. You hired me to kill, not to dance. To      answer your question, I do know how to dance. And I’m more      than willing to show you how I can move...”

Everything. Every f*cking thing.

How horrible…

     “How terrible. Diabolical, even. You can never wash      your sins away.”

Don’t encourage this.

The bustling night life of the party before them reminded Zero of how much he didn’t like these kinds of events. The only saving grace he had was the fact that it wasn’t filled with posh nobles, looking down on anyone who wasn’t nobility as though they were dirt on the ground. It still didn’t mean he enjoyed it, but the outlaw had only accepted the invitation simply because Leo had asked him to go with him.

And, well, Zero would never deny a request from his lord, but this invite felt a little... different from the usual request that a lord might have for his retainer. Perhaps Zero shouldn’t think like that, though; getting his hopes up was the last thing he wished to do.

Still, the white haired male sipped at the drink in hand, his good eye watching the madness before him. A glance to the blonde, as Zero finally stopped finding his cup to be the most interesting thing on the planet.

     “I’m sure it’s not fun standing on the sidelines... How      about we share at least one dance together, milord?”

He was playing with fire here. It wouldn’t be the first time he took the risk of getting burned.

Zero has appeared! What to do?

>Caress cheek >Ravish >Confess >Leave them

     “My, my, what tender options...”

            ❝  all this debate of what was surely a tragedy, the rights and wrongs of it, and i don’t even know your name, stranger.  ❞ of course, he wasn’t expecting it so easily, but it couldn’t hurt to gently express his curiosity.

     “I suppose there is some point to your words. Usually      I see the worst side of situations like these. After all,      you can only be so optimistic for so long until your walls      finally start crumbling down.”

He simply chuckles, a little darkly but that is his thing.

     “Morality debates with nameless strangers isn’t your type      of thing? How boring. Thankfully, you’ve put me in a good      mood, so I’ll honor your request. Call me Zero - nothing      more, nothing less.”
