Rating: SFW for now

Pandora had set aside Thursday night for dancing and catching up with Blaise. It had been a while since they’d done more than chat in passing or owl or chat in the journals, and so she dressed in a green variation of the dress she’d worn when she’d met Wayne. The skirt still flared nicely for dancing, and the Transfiguration was holding nicely. She wasn’t sure, despite having access to more money now, that she’d completely get past her recent years of being short on coin and making some things look fabulous purely with her own skill.

She’d added a few matching green streaks in her hair and kept her make up subtle but matching as well. Her heels would put her not quite as short as normal, but he’d still be rather taller than her with his six foot frame. She didn’t mind.

She twirled several times and let her feet do the fancy footwork as she slid back into place in the frame of his arms. She grinned brightly up at him, pleased.

It pained Blaise to hear the way Pandora spoke. It was only a simple stroke of fate that had kept him from being fully committed to the cause. In fact, were he not a coward who had run back into the school when the opportunity arose he may have completed deeds that were the same caliber as hers. "Ignore the lot of them. Most of them are self righteous fools who think more highly of themselves than they are worth."

He couldn't help but keep his eyes on her as they danced. Even when she spoke words that might have had another feeling dejected he marveled at how well she held herself. "Really?" he inquired as the music slowed to a stop. "And where is this new apprenticeship?"

"If only it were that easy," she said, her smile just this side of wistful. It was more than she would show a lot of people, but Blaise was a good friend, and she'd known him even longer than the war. She could trust him, she thought, with some of these confessions.

She grinned at him as the music stopped, and she slipped her hand into the crook of his arm. "Buy you a drink?" she offered, tilting her head toward the bar. "It's through International Exports Ltd, for all the security work and such." Which was true. Richard was paying her stipend through that and she thought the lease was through them as well. "I have to admit, it has me fitter than ever," she told him. It could be seen by a skilled eye, but she tended toward wiry muscle that didn't show like bulkier muscle.

Blaise knew it was easier to ignore somethings than it was others. He'd also been fortunate enough that his general demeanor was to let just about everything roll off his back unless it was a point blank, full on assault.

"It's I who should be buying you a drink," he argued as they made their way toward the bar. True enough this wasn't a date, but that didn't mean he had to allow proper manners to fly out the window. "Sounds like you're making your way up in the world," he grinned as she talked about her new job. "Might even get you out from under your aunt."

Dora laughed softly. She should have expected the argument from him. "Fine. This time, if you insist," she said, giving in with good grace. In the past, she never would have offered -- but her means had been so limited up until just recently that she couldn't have afforded it. But she'd hidden the worst of her past problems from the world, unless someone had cared to dig deep.

"I'm still an ambitious lass," she said with her usual quick grin. That had never changed. The amount of work she was required to put into life was all that had changed. "I'm trying, though I do love the job. I just don't love that it's all I do sometimes, or dealing with her all the time." Though without the distraction and busyness, Dora knew she'd be at too many loose ends. She used it all to keep herself on a line, controlled and structured so she didn't go too far off track.
