Who: Regina^swap and Kirley^heir
When: Monday night at the party
Where: TOGA PARTY!
What: Reg likes wine. So does Kirley. Shenanigans ensue.
Warnings: medium to high. They're going to get.... friendly.

Reg loved parties of all kinds. She enjoyed going to fancy dinner parties where she got to dress up and socialize with the best society could offer, but she also loved loud, raucous, crazy parties to. What young woman wouldn't want to hang out with her friends and drink and dance and have a good time?

After the pressure she'd put herself under getting through the games, and the disappointment of coming in second in her last race, Reg really needed to cut loose and have a good time. Luckily, the toga party was perfect for that. The wine was flowing, everyone was getting along, it was great. She stayed with her sister for a bit in the beginning of the evening, then started to branch out. She didn't know everyone in the compound yet, but she said hello to the those she did, including all of her "brothers," before finding a spot where she could watch the festivities.

With her fourth glass of wine in hand, Reg grabbed a seat on the outskirts, enjoying herself and every one around her.

"Perhaps," Reg said, turned her head to see who had spoken to her. He was tall, but then again she was sitting down and everyone was tall compared to Regina. "I was over there," she said, gesturing to where her sister was. "With my sister. And my brothers.... but they're not really my brothers. And then I was walking around, and then I sat down here."

Alcohol brought out the chatty side in Regina, and when she stopped talking, she took another sip. "What about you?"

Duke followed the gesture for only a second and then his gaze returned. He couldn't help but laugh quietly at her explanation. This place was full of weird family connections and he only had to deal with one other version of himself and his daughter. That was light in comparison to some of the others.

"Oh, just don't want anyone to be left out. It's a party, after all." Giving a shrug, he finished off the drink he was carrying. "I'm Duke, by the way," he crouched until they were at eye-level, "who're you?"

	Reg grinned. "Well thank you for not leaving me out," she said. "It's very kind of you." Crossing her legs, she looked at him and sipped again. The wine was good. "I'm Regina," she said. "Regina Black. Or Reg. Either works." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, I'm just full of kindness," the words came out heavy and natural, years of charm embedded in everything Duke did. "Alright, Reg." The Black name was vaguely familiar, but Duke tried to forget most of the Death Eaters and their crazy families so he didn't know enough to recognize who she might be. After a moment, he tilted his head. "Do you dance?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Reg could feel the heat in her cheeks, but had no idea if it was from the wine or this extremely attractive man being so close to her. Really, she didn't care though, but that part was probably the wine.

She narrowed her eyes at him when he asked if she danced, thinking. "I do dance," she said, tilting her cup back and finishing her wine. "I dance rather well, actually."

"Oh?" He was slightly taken aback by that, but he quickly laughed and stood up, holding a hand out to her. "Well you can't make a statement like that without backing it up. And trust me, I know music - and dancing." Truth was, Duke wasn't much of a good dancer; but like everything else, he did whatever he felt and if nothing else, it could get a laugh. Even if it was out of pity.

"Love, I'm a Black. My mum had me in dance lessons from the time I could walk." Reaching her hand out, she took his and stood up, wobbling just slightly. "However I have had four glasses of wine, so forgive me if I step on your feet."

She turned and set her wine glass down in her chair before looking back at him. She really didn't want to step on his feet. He was really cute.

He made a tsking sound, all in good humor. "Just keep raisin' the bar for yourself," he grinned, squeezing her hand to make sure she wasn't going right back down again.

"Eh, you'll be fine." Duke shrugged and instantly came closer, grabbing her hand once more as his free hand went to her waist. Even though he'd had quite a bit, he hadn't reached his normal intake and thus could handle himself - as well as another person - rather well.

Reg moved her free hand up on his shoulder, she stepped closer as he held her. "You're very... firm," she said, tilting her head back so she could look up at him.

This was weird for her. Well not excessively strange, but Reg wasn't used to meeting people being his drunk. She hadn't had a boyfriend since graduating school, and was never really one for just going out and finding someone. But here, things were different. She felt like she could be something other than just herself. She could let go a bit. So she did.

"Firm?" That wasn't a description he heard often, yet it made him laugh all the same. Then, without hesitation, he moved in order to lead, guiding her body along with his. The music playing didn't exactly give way for a specific dance so he mixed it all. Duke's hips swayed like something sensual, his feet wanted to waltz, and his hands, well, they went wherever they pleased (though not anywhere bad).

"See," he started after a few moments, "it's much better when you're part of the party."

	"Yes, firm. You know... fit," Reg said, a ridiculous grin on her face. She was a girl like any other and liked getting attention from a cute boy. Moving her feet with his, she thought she was doing well, given the fact that her brain was all fuzzy. "You're right," she said. "Much more fun. Though, I was having fun before."
