twice is a decision

Wake me up, I've been asleep for too long
Caught in a dream, time goes on and on

Ace leaned in, but only for a moment - just long enough for her to tense slightly beneath the hand resting idly at her waist. He was laying it on a little thick, she thought - she was hardly the prettiest woman to be found in Caido, and though she was aware enough of her appearance to know that she looked good, she was also not vain enough to think it was particularly exceptional. Still, she smiled a little at the praise. Whether or not it was true, it was a nice thing to say, and a boost for her confidence.

The music continued on, building slowly, and Soh continued to move with the rhythm. She wasn’t a particularly experienced dancer, but what she made up for in experience, she made up for with a certain grace that came naturally to her. She glanced up at Ace as his Attuned voice broke into her thoughts again. Oh, what a shame, she teased. I think that one was my favorite, but this one’s a close second. Then he spun her, her skirt flaring out, and she laughed at the sensation. If this was all the evening entailed, then surely she could let her guard down a little, relax into his company, and have fun. Right?

Maybe I shouldn't be speaking too soon
Maybe I shouldn't believe in you
