Dressed to the Nines (Gaius + Setsuna)

Setsuna hummed softly to herself as she watched the dancers on the floor. The event was certainly a busy one. Taking a moment to sit and rest was nice, and watching the new dances was certainly interesting. It wasn’t anything she’d seen before, it would be nice to learn. She smiled, resting her chin in her hand upon the table.
Her name caught her attention. She wasn’t expecting to see Gaius, and she was certainly not expecting to see him in that outfit. “Wow…” She drawled, a slow smile blooming across her face. “Look at you…when did you go and get all fancied up, huh?”
Giggling, she stood up and offered her hand. “You look nice.”
“Not as nice as you do, Dollface. You always look stunning,” Gaius replied with a laugh.
Once they were on the ballroom floor, Gaius assumed position, one hand falling at her waist. His heart thudded rapidly, and he realized he was anxious. He wasn’t used to fancy dances like this -- he was used to cutting loose on the dance floor and letting everyone know that he was a force to be reckoned with! But this... was something elegant and gentle, and he prayed to the gods that he wouldn’t mess it up.
Luckily, his lessons from years ago stuck with him, and he began leading her gently in a few lazy spirals. “Just follow my lead, alright?” he instructed, smiling up at her. “How was your day today, huh, Dollface? Anything exciting happen when we left?”
