"Right, appearances. Sorry, though, you only get one dance, and sadly you wasted it here." Like always, it was difficult to determine if she was joking or not.
Daphne hated him for a fleeting moment as he asked her to trust him, she hated that question. Typically when someone was asking to be trusted, they really shouldn't be. Instead of answering him, Daphne ignored that question and moved on to his next comment. "Are you implying that I might benefit from this as well?"
There was a failure to communicate somewhere between them, since Daphne was still stuck on the fact that they didn't have to pay money to dance in the Artium of the Ministry, if all Theodore wanted to do was dance. Was he suggesting that she might benefit from this Charity Ball? Daphne really couldn't see how, and was slightly offended that Theodore was suggesting she might.
