[ She looks up at him with an eager expression. ] Oh! I can't dance either! I've never done it before!

[phoenixwiz]

I have done some dancing before, but I wasn’t exactly the best dancer in school anyway and the school ball I went to wasn’t that exciting for me.

It had all of us dressed all stuffy in gowns and dress robes and my friend had to wear pink dress robes from one of his relatives.

[sweetsummerchild03]

Oooooh! So it was a really formal event? I've heard about those! You didn't have fun though?

[phoenixwiz]

Yeah, it was a formal event held in my school for a major inter-school tournament when I was fourteen.

It was okay in the end, it is just so happened that it was mostly meh for me at the time since I was trying to ask a girl to be my date, but she went with someone else as he asked her first, so I was stuck with my house mate of mine and we barely got along on that night.

It was even worse for my friend as he got very jealous of a Bulgarian man having our friend as his date in there out of, erm, overprotective of her.

[sweetsummerchild03]

Aww, that's too bad. Did you ever get to dance with that girl you wanted to ask?

[phoenixwiz]

Sadly no, I didn’t got the chance to dance with her because I was sulking on the chair for most of the dance.

But I somehow managed to have a kiss with her the year after, but by then, she had lost her date at the end of the school year and things got very complicated for me during that school year.

[sweetsummerchild03]

Really? How complicated?

[phoenixwiz]

Well. It started with the guy she went to the dance: he and the girl I tried to ask out later started dating and then he was killed by a man trying to go after me.

That next school year was filled with a lot of hardships for me: being accused for lying, getting always frustrated and angry to the point of lashing out at my friends, having a terrible government official for a professor who the held an iron grip on my school, having nightmares, running an underground student club, and I lost my godfather by the end of the year.

Long story short, my fifth year was a trainwreck I couldn’t escape from.

[sweetsummerchild03]

Oh wow...that really is complicated. It doesn't really sound like a fun school year.

[phoenixwiz]

Yeah, it wasn’t a great time for me or even a lot of my friends.

(He lets out a huge sigh: his fifth year wasn’t a good time, of the stress, the pain, and the actions he regretted of doing. No one shouldn’t go through what he has been through back home ever.)

Oh well, maybe we change topics before I start to feel bad remembering some more bad memories.

[sweetsummerchild03]

Oh! Sorry! Okay, um... [ She glances around the street, trying to find something to change the topic to. ] Oh! Have you tried any of the food yet?

[phoenixwiz]

I haven’t tried them just yet. There must be plenty of choices to choose from that I have a hard time of choosing at the moment. Is there anything interesting that has gotten your attention as well?

(He hasn’t gotten around to pick a food since there is a wide variety of food on the buffet table that he does a hard time to pick one easily.)

[sweetsummerchild03]

I dunno! There are so many choices, and I haven't gotten to try these kinda things before! So I'm not sure where to start.

[phoenixwiz]

Well, I guess that we might as well try a few for ourselves and see which ones that we like more.

(So he goes to check out the food buffet once again to see if there is something among the food spread that would catch his eyes. After minutes of looking around, he gets to pick up some appetizers since he doesn’t feel too hungry at the moment.

Taking the first one, a caprese-like skewer, he takes a bite of tomato, cheese, and basil in small bits and proceeds to chew on them for a while, letting the flavors to sink in before swallowing them down.)

[sweetsummerchild03]

[ She skips along behind Harry to the food table, but has to stand on her toes just to see what's on it. Eventually she reaches for some kind of pastry and takes a bite. ]

...Mm! This is pretty good!

[phoenixwiz]

Yeah, I agree. The skewer I have is also really good as well.

The food spread in here is really good. This city really knows how to have a really good food spread, I haven’t been to a major feast in a long time.

[sweetsummerchild03]

[ She nods, munching on the pastry happily. ] Yeah! I've never had food like this before! It's been fun getting to try new things.

[phoenixwiz]

Yeah, I could say the same thing as well. I have never been outside of the UK before arriving to Avalon and to this world, so I do my best to try out and experience what each world has to offer.

It never hurts to have new experiences in a different place.

[sweetsummerchild03]

[ She nods in agreement. ] Yeah! Although for me, almost everything is new!

[phoenixwiz]

(He also agrees with a nod as he takes another bite onto his skewers and, after swallowing it, takes another sip of his drink while the festive dancers enjoy the night away and the band keeps on playing the music.)
