There is no such thing as a bad idea.
He may or may not have turned his head to bring the kiss closer to his mouth, the crooked tilt of his lips widening with delight. She may have pulled back, but Ace stepped a little closer. His easy stance spoke of confidence in his own abilities, used to hearing people sing his praises. Tilting his head, he leaned close again to whisper loudly through the ruckus of the crowd, "Well, that's because I was trying to impress someone." When it was his turn to lean back, he gave her a knowing wink.
Her question told him everything he needed to know about her frequency at the races, making her all the more intriguing. Ace shrugged a nonchalant shoulder. "Every chance I get." Yet, he didn't want to talk about racing now. He reached out to inspect a loose strand of her golden hair between his two fingers. "But I haven't seen you around before - and I would have noticed such a pretty face - which means this must be your first time." The way he said 'first time' was more than a little suggestive as he gave a coy grin that made his blue eyes sparkle when they met her gaze.
A group of cloud wyrms came to swirl around their heads like little cupids, casting their blessing over the couple. It was the perfect distraction for his buddy to slip his race earnings into the waiting hand in his pocket (one of the many skills of a pickpocket). So as the tiny cherubs of love floated away, Ace offered a hand to the woman. "Why don't you let me use some of this prize money to buy you a drink? After all, you helped me win it." The way his smile brought a small dimple to his cheek made it difficult to resist such charm, and he waited patiently for her to accept his offer.
