9:10 pm - Lina & Kent
After his display on the dance floor and several more songs besides, what Cate had said had come to pass; he'd been dodging requests left and right ever since Tony had stepped in to take his place while Kent went to grab something to drink. He'd managed to successfully turn down every single one of them right up until Constantine and Vincent cornered him separately and made squawking noises at him about how good his dancing was and how important it was that they drum up donations tonight. The intimation was clear, and Kent resented the hell out of it. This was the damned photoshoot all over again.
Vincent had made a vague gesture to a few figures nearby, so Kent moved in that direction. A group of people was having some kind of laughing conversation, and he wasn't about to attempt to even try to horn in on that. Instead, he zeroed in on the woman standing a little distance away and approached her instead. It took no small effort to unclench his jaw, but he did it and held out his hand as he asked, "Pardon me, but would you care to dance?"
