spark up like fireworks (Thane)

[Regina Curry]

Regina laughed quietly. "Well, it never hurts to attempt to organize it. Plus I could make you nifty little signs to where things are supposed to be put," she said with a grin. "I'll make sure the words are big enough so that you can read them." Of course Regina was teasing, but if signs helped him, then she would make them.

"It's not very hard to distract you, but that's not really a bad thing. It's quite interesting, but I promise I'll do my best to help you remember where things are as long as I don't also forget. And of course if you need help finding something, I have no problem helping you."

[Thane Scotts]

Thane chuckled, "okay well maybe just little signs.. I don't need all the guys teasing me that I'm disorganized AND blind," his chuckle turned into a laugh. "And I would love to have you help me.. I can probably use all the help I can get." He really could use all the help he could get, when he was younger his sister used to help him and he'd been truly lost since coming to Hogwarts his first year. Regina was the only one who had ever offered to help him like that and it meant a lot to him.

[Regina Curry]

A smile spread across her face. "No, we couldn't have them teasing you," she replied. "That wouldn't be right. I could just make little ones that would tell you what was where. I don't think that they would tease you for that. At least its an attempt to keep things organized." Regina gave a slight shrug.

For a moment, her cheeks turned light pink again. "Thane, I have a favor to ask of you. I've never danced in my life. I don't want to embarass you at the dance, nor myself."

[Thane Scotts]

Thane felt honored that she'd ask him for a favor no matter what it was, he loved helping her. She had never danced? really? He couldn't imagine having never danced. His sister, Gwen had taught him how to dance when he was younger and being a fast learner he'd picked it up quiet easily. Who knew that the disorganized Thane had a sense of rhythm? But he had learned and he knew that it was one favor he could help with.

"Would you like me to teach you, Gina?" He'd never called her that before but for some reason it slipped from his lips unbidden.

[Regina Curry]

Thane really could make her blush even if he didn't mean to. Plus, he called her Gina. No one except for Hallie had ever called her that before. The way he said it, Regina stopped her thoughts. She was not going to finish it.

"I would like you to teach me to dance. Any form of dancing. I don't want to have two left feet while we're at the dance. I could never forgive myself if I embarassed you."

[Thane Scotts]

Thane pulled away just far enough to look her in the eyes, and in a very steady and sure tone he replied with his thoughts, "Gina, you could never embarrass me. No matter what you did. Even if you came to the dance with a bag on your head and I had to pick you up off the floor every second, you would still not embarrass me. And I will be there to make sure you don't feel embarrassed either. And even better... I'll do everything I can to help you learn to dance."

[Regina Curry]

What had she done to deserve to be around someone like this? She noticed that he still didn't let her go, and she didn't let him go either. Regina smiled. He could never embarrass her either.

Regina found herself staring at Thane's blue eyes. "T-Thank you," she said. For a moment, she couldn't look away. She seemed to be lost, but she finally broke herself from his gaze. "Maybe I'll be better on my feet dancing than walking."

[Thane Scotts]

"I'm sure of if it, because I'll be able to hold you every step of the way." He meant it to reassure her but he meant it completely. He stepped back from her then finally realizing he was still holding her when she broke his gaze and he blushed all the way to his toes. To hide the fact he bowed low and asked, "Regina Curry, would you care to dance?" He looked up still bent low, seeking her face under his lashes.

[Regina Curry]

Regina felt slightly empty when Thane let go, but a smile found itself on her face again. He was quite the gentleman. Regina was relieved that she had someone to help her with the basics. Thane was someone that she could never embarass her, and he was fun to be around. He helped her 'loosen up' even in her shyest moments.

She gave a little laugh. "I would be honored," she said smiling and her hands by her side.

[Thane Scotts]

Thane stood up then and smiled brightly and took each of her hands in his slowly bringing one to his shoulder and other he held gentle and firmly with his own relaxed to the side but slightly raised. He took his free hand and held her waist with the same firm and gentle grip so that if she did trip he would be able to easily steady her.

And instead of speaking he look a step back and guided her to do the same slowly before moving his other foot back and once again guiding her to follow him forward. When she did he took another.. and then another..keeping a slow and guiding pace that she could easily follow even if she'd never taken one dance step in her life.

[Regina Curry]

Regina relaxed her body as Thane positioned their hands and arms. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She was not going to think about her feet, she was just going to think about following Thane.

Looking across from her, her eyes settled on his as she followed his feet subconsciencly. For once, she wasn't tripping over her feet, nor his. She was moving with partial grace. Regina remained relaxed as she followed his steps, and a gentle smile was on her face as they moved.

[Thane Scotts]

He kept guiding her slowly, gliding backwards and one step at a time gently moving her with him. His hands guiding her and his eyes smiling into hers and for a moment time seemed to stand still as they moved and very very softly he began to hum a song. He watched her eyes unable to stop himself but he only smiled encouragingly and guided her from step to step slowly moving towards a normal speed as she began to move on her own with him.

[Regina Curry]

It literally felt like Regina was on air. She felt unbelievably light as they moved around. Not once did she look about from Thane. Regina was scared that if she did then she would trip over herself. She listened as he began to hum. Movement became more carefree as they moved. Their speed became a little faster, but she didn't worry about it and didn't bother to look down at her feet.

Regina still moved with partial grace across the grass. Maybe Thane was a miracle worker. That was her best guess. Or maybe he put a spell on her when they started to dance. Whatever it was, she was happy. She found one thing that she was physically alright with.

[Thane Scotts]

They danced like that for a long while, just gliding along, moving gracefully together and ignoring the world around them as he hummed his song to her. It seemed like the moment lasted for much longer than it likely had and eventually he slowed the dance and brought her other arm to his neck before lowering it to her waist and bringing her closer. His intention had been to show her a slow dance.. but the intent was lost as he lost himself in the moment. He loved to dance, and even more he was finding he loved to dance with Regina.

[Regina Curry]

Regina knew that her cheeks were tinted pink as her other arm went around his neck and his other hand to her waist. However, she didn't look away this time either. Dancing was something she was okay with, as long as it was with Thane, although she didn't know who else would want to dance with her. That fact was alright with her.

She didn't feel like she was some huge klutz while she moved with him, and that was the feeling she enjoyed most. Regina was lost, but in a good way. She continued to move with Thane across the grass. Maybe there was hope for her with not tripping over herself when she walked.

[Thane Scotts]

Thane danced with her close just enjoying the moment, feeling her turn from a duckling into a swan as she danced in his arms. He didn't know how long it would last but while it did he enjoyed it. And he enjoyed holding her, enjoyed having her arms around his neck, and was happy with her in his arms. He leaned his head against hers as they danced slow, their feet still moving and gliding together. Finally, after he lost track of time he slowed until they were standing there together and he carefully pulled away. "You are a beautiful dancer, Gina... thank you for letting me dance with you." He smiled at her, a gentleness in his face.

[Regina Curry]

Regina continued to dance with him slowly and smiled again when he leaned his head against hers. She felt at ease and just let her body move on its own. There was no awkward feeling as she danced, but that was probably because Thane was an excellent dancer and he was leading. It might have been horrible if she was leading.

She didn't want him to pull away just yet. She wanted to continue on dancing all day long. Regina removed her arms from around his neck slowly as he let go of her. "I should be thanking you. I don't think I could have ever danced without you leading," she replied with her cheeks pink.

[Thane Scotts]

"I have a feeling you would be a beautiful dancer no matter who you danced with... but since I enjoy dancing with you so much, I'll just let you pretend it's all me that way I can keep you to myself as a dance partner." He grinned at her, and although he said it to compliment her and maybe even give her a little confidence, the thought it was true too.. well not about pretending it was all him. He had faith in her and thought she could do anything in his eyes. But he was never dissapointed, even when she tripped.

[Regina Curry]

Regina laughed. "I highly doubt that anyone else would want to dance with me, let alone be seen walking around with me, but that is a nice thought I suppose." She didn't want to dance with anyone else either. They probably wouldn't be as good a dancer as Thane, or have as much faith in her either. "You're something else, you know that?" She smiled at him.

[Thane Scotts]

"What's that supposed to mean?" he feigned a hurt look though he was grinning on the inside.

He wanted her to feel confident, but he also wanted to keep her dances all to himself too. He wasn't normally the selfish type, but it was a bit of a self revelation that he found himself now feeling the desire to keep her to himself somehow. He knew he couldn't at least.. not really. But maybe he could keep her dances for himself, it was the little things that made him smile.
