"Violet, that's a good name. Purple suits you I think- at least from what I can tell," he said as he thought about all the wonderful things you could do with the color purple. He had been especially tempted to choose purple for his own clothes for the Ball but he had spotted the orange jacket and it seemed a little more interesting to him after all.
Everyone did seem to have taken to the idea of using fake names and his was no exception, though his was a little goofy. It honestly felt really strange to hide who he was, but that was just part of how this thing was supposed to go.
"In your day, huh? I guess you've had some practice with these things then," he laughed as he avoided mentioning that the way she said that meant she was probably quite a bit older than him. No reason to be rude. "I would be glad to dance with you, if you don't mind dancing with someone still in highschool." And he extended his hand politely to take hers if she still wanted to dance.
He wanted to be upfront in case his costume belied his age. He didn't think it was making him look too much older than he was, but you never know. He wasn't angling for anything romantic with her.
