[DASH=teal]Gabriel seemed happy to teach her how to ballroom dance, and she had no idea what to expect. Sure she had seen Keza ballroom dance by herself but she didn't know that the man's hand was meant to be on her waist, her hand on his shoulder, and their free hands together. It was almost as if they were embracing, but their bodies had a distance between them. Now he was attempting to teach her the proper pose, it was like trying to make a leaf stand like a tree. It was difficult but Gabriel had practiced for many years, and under his guidance she learned quickly.
The steps didn't make much sense to her, and through a few errors and apologies for stepping on his feet, she eventually got it down. Slowly they made a circle around the fire, picking up the pace just slightly, pretty soon her feet just moved on their own. Azalea looked up, finding herself once again trapped by those emerald orbs of his. They continued to dance until the song ended, and even then their feet had stopped moving but they remained in position, perhaps a little closer than how they started. Azalea smiled as she stood there with him, feeling a slight tug at her heart before he reluctantly letting her go and taking a bow. Azalea attempted a curtsy, but probably wasn't as graceful as those who had practiced for years.
"No, Sir, you see the pleasure is all mine." Azalea joked, mimicking her sister Keza's usual tone but it just made her sound silly. Azalea took a step closer to him, just a normal distance not too close, just enough. "I'm really glad you came, it's been the most fun I've had in a while." She admitted, smiling a little shyly. She hadn't noticed but one of the other guests who seemed to have indulged in just a bit too much dandelion wine was losing his balance behind her and stumbled back into Azalea, knocking her forward and in turn knowing Gabriel down with her.
The two landed back under the shadow of a tree, just far enough from the camp fire that no one would really notice them. Azalea's heart raced as she realized she was on top of him. "S-sorry!" She stammer out, pushing herself up with her arms that were just above each of Gabriel's shoulders. The tree swayed in the breeze and moonlight fell through the leaves, lighting up just enough of his face. Azalea found herself unable to move and without really thinking she gently placed a hand upon the man's cheek, her black hair dangling down between them.[/DASH]
