Pavel and Adri - After previous scene
He should have warned her about the touching, but honestly it hadn't dawned on him- or maybe he was self-sabotaging. Yea, Pavel had asked her as a gut reaction to what happened with Valentin, and his current state of denial. Maybe he was trying to prove his recent thoughts had been a mistake, or untrue. He'd made a show in PM to Galad about having intentions for that night, but hadn't really planned on going through with any of it. Instead he was just looking to enjoy his night and forget about the humiliating kiss.
Pavel wasn't lying, he did know how to slow dance. Granted it wasn't anything fancy but it was smooth. His sister had taught him years before. "Thank you for saying yes." He said softly to her, his mask not able to hide his thick accent. "I know it was kind of last minute."
