Jace returned back towards her mate throughout the crown having fulfilled her polite obligation to provide gifts to prove her sincerity. Now maybe she could start to enjoy the night a bit without having to worry. She haw Honrin briefly on her way through the crown and smiled sadly at him, the young boy looked completely miserable with all the unknown company around him. She knew of the problem that plagued his young life, for he had told her in the dark of the night one time when she had awoken with an odd feeling in her stomach. she had followed his scent to find the small child crying. It was hard for Jace to see him suffering so and not be able to do anything about it, the hybrid was comforted though to see Pandora heading towards Honrin and saw the boy perk up a bit now that his sister was with him.
Jace carried on her way moving like an acrobat throughout the large crowd. The graceful woman didn't speak to anybody however, she was too concerned with making her way back to her mate who she had left alone to give her gift. She knew Temo liked parties and gatherings about as much as Honrin did and he didn't interact very easily with others, Jace was more sociable but she wouldn't consider herself a social butterfly, she was more prone to making moral raising speeches than polite conversation. She smiled as she finally reached him,
"Hey, mission was a success, Jazper was quite pleased with my gift." Jace turned and looked out longingly at the dancing couples, but she wouldn't put him in an awkward position by insisting he dance with her.

The crowd had increased in size as had the volume of ambient noise surrounding Temo as he hung out towards the back and stood in some shadows that had made themselves handy for standing in. There were a few that he recognized but most were all strangers to the black wolf, even those that had the pack smell about them.
Even when his gaze wandered over the crowd as he watched everyone mill about, some were talking to others, some eating or other were dancing alone or with someone and he was keeping tabs on where Jace was and her progress through the crowds as she made her way to Jazper to offer her gift and then as she made her way to return to him.
As Jace drew closer, his attention focused onto her more and more until she had finally arrived next to him and his tail slowly wagged in greeting. Hey, that is good that your gift was well received. He noticed her look and turned his head to glance out over the dancing crowd. Was there something that you wanted to do or go? he quietly asked her, his voice just loud enough for her to hear.

Her own tail wagged in response, though it was subdued a bit. She pulled the white coat closer to herself, the chill still caught hold of her. The woman hadn't felt cold like this since she had jumped into that river and had almost died on her return home. It brought out a shudder in her and she moved closer to Temo, grateful for his warmth. A considering look came over her face, the woman didn't know how to dance in a practised sense. Sure she knew her sacred dance's and some freestyle moves she had made up herself but she didn't know how to do what these couples did, waltz and she doubted Temo did too.
But then the more she thought about it the more she ceased to care, so what if they didn't know the steps, weren't they supposed to have fun and enjoy themselves,
"Do you dance?" She was surprised, the amount of time they had known each other, nearly three quarters of her life and she didn't know if he knew how to dance in form.

His ears nervously continued to rotate back and forth and around listening to all the noises that were going on around them. The music that was being played and various conversations that were in process and others walking around or dancing to the music nearby. For being a pack animal, Temo was not liking being in a crowd much, maybe, he thought, it was because there were so many that he did not know that was making him uneasy to be there.
His gaze floated over the open area that the others were busy occupying and moving about in various different styles of dancing. He considered her query for a moment as he watched the others move about before he answered. No, I do not, he replied in a subdued voice. He had never considered dancing nor did he ever need to and he felt a bit of sadness that it seemed that Jace did and most likely wanted to now and here he was not knowing how. It was with a glance in her direction that he saw a look in her eyes that seemed to convey that she was wanting to dance. Were you wanting to dance he queried.

this sucks
As strange as it was, his nervousness only increased her enthusiasm for this strange new venture she wished to undertake. Organised dancing was not a pastime she indulged in at all, the dancing she performed was less about rhythm and steps than general movement and passion, anybody could dance about a fire and call it tribal culture. She giggled, a curiously out of character thing for her,
"Me either." Her eyes came to rest on him, sparkling brightly despite the chill she felt and the strange nausea that gripped her stomach lightly. She wanted this badly for some reason, it was indeed a strange atmosphere that had taken over her. A newer more socially daring Jace for all to see. Her head cocked to the side curiously, what was he thinking, he was so hard to read sometimes even though she knew him like the back of her paw,
"Yes! come on, it will be fun. We can make it up as we go along and show them all we know how to party better." Again she giggled, feeling lightheaded, what was in that drink she'd had? She hoped it was non alcoholic.

His thoughts were a mix of emotions but the one that was most notably at the forefront was worry or concern or fear or all three of them that he would do something wrong while attending the party. And she confirmed one of his fears that she would want to go out there among the others and dance. As always when his thoughts were in turmoil, his face automatically falls into a deadpan look with his tail hanging down and his ears were nervously rotating here and there with the different noises that kept catching their attention.
His gaze focused in on Jace then back out to the myrids of others that were gyrating and moving about in what almost seemed like a free for all. for a few moments he watched trying to decide what would be the best thing to do. He had no experience with this as he looked back at Jace and wondered at her seeming change with the giggling. Then, finally, right or wrong, the decision was made, Considering that neither of us have danced before like this, all we will be doing is making it up as we go. Before his thoughts got the better of him and changed his mind, he took her hand in his and towed her a few feet to an empty spot on the dance floor, and in an attempt at humor to alleviate his misgivings, we will soon find out if we know how to party better.
