Event Private Shadow and Sun

Leandro moved through the ball, he the sounds giving him a mental image of the world around him, his nose instinctively picking through the different scents, he was looking for someone. Then he found her, he tilted his head toward her, his eyes red, but dull from his blindness. He smiled at her, a naturally calm and charming one, "hey there Nyota," he said walking over to her.

"Happy I found you," he'd been hoping to talk to her again, maybe dance before the night was out. "Was hoping to talk you again," his Italian accent was light and pleasant, he didn't really have many friends, or any relationships really outside his family. Grabbing a drink, he sipped it, "still thinking the ball is boring?" he asked with a small chuckle.

"I suppose there's not really anything going on beside the dancing," it was a ball after all, but the parties he usually went to weren't so formal. @Pallas

Nyota was considering leaving when a familiar voice called to her. She spin around in an unintentionally graceful manner as she finds Leandro behind her. She was surprised to see him once again, thinking that he would still be dancing with that Autumn girl from earlier.

"Y-you are? You seemed fine dancing happily without me." she remark, furrowing a brow before letting out a long sigh. "Aahherrmm... whatever... since your here I guess we talk. And yes... this ball is rather borish. These things feel just... way to formal for someone like me. Sort of like last year to be honest but at least I got to talk to some interesting people this time around so... not a total bust."

Nyota looks out to the dancers in the center of the grand ballroom, then shrugged.

"Yeah I guess this whole ball thing would be a lot more fun for those who can actually dance. Defiantly not the sort of place for people like me." lamented Nyota as she watched the couples dancing, she her head in a disapproving manner.

"Yet here I am," he said with a small grin, "I came alone to the ball, and well I like talking to you." The sounds around him formed a picture, he could hear everything even her heartbeat, to others it'd be very strange, to him it was just his life, it was normal. "Yeah, these things are common for some of my family, never cared for them, even I was taught about them," he was good at them, but they just weren't really for him.

He tilted his head in her direction, didn't really look at her for obvious reasons, "dancing can be enjoyable, even if you don't really know how." The taps of the feet on the ground echoed as the dancers moved around the dance floor, he remembered being taught how to dance, one of many things he'd done his best to excel at.

Stepping in front of her, he offered her his hand, "so, would you dance with me?" He smiled, they were alike in that neither wanted pity, for being blind or missing a limb, they could do anything anyone else could.

Nyota raises an eyebrow, somewhat suspicious of his claim but decided that she would just go along with it. She never struck herself as someone with anything insightful aside from her vast knowledge of sci-fy shows and knowing the difference between a HB pencil from an H2.

"Well guess I am not the only one questioning why they came here then." mumbled Nyota, knowing full well that Leandro could hear her probably. As a shadow casted over her, she rolls her eyes up to Leandro now standing in front. It took her a moment for her brain registered his proposal.

"Ha... me dancing? Are you fooling with are are you actually being serious with?" snorted Nyota, extending her arm and pokes Leandro in the stomach. She was so stuck with the mindset of being unapproachable that is still struggling with the idea of someone wanting to dance with her. Least of all some fancy hunky Italian vampire boy who happened to be her history tutor... something that sounds like a super stupid cliche young adult romance novel.

His hand never lowered, his smile never faded, even as she poked him. "Afraid I'm quite serious," he tilted his head a little, couldn't really look at her per say, but he had his odd body language, "gotta have something to do while we're here, occupy us." He was a skilled dancer, but honestly he didn't care if she was bad or not, it didn't matter to him.

The young vampire gave her a small charming smile, nothing practiced, just a natural thing for him, "it'll be fun." Once he'd gently taken her hand, he lead her to the dance and into a slow and simple dance. "This is my first real event on the island, usually always busy with family and school," he smiled calmly as they danced.

Leandro's movements were precise, he was a good partner, good at leading. "Mind if I ask where you're from?" he was curious, she was different from most people, in a good, "I was born in Rome, raised there most of my life." He was still relatively new to the island.

Nyota was taken aback by Leandro's insistence, lowing her hand as her face controts with confusion. She hadn't actually expected him to be serious so she wasn't sure what to do. She considered blowing off Leandro's offer but when she was about to open her mouth she felt his hand clasp onto hers.

"Ghaa... I... I dunno-" before she could finish her statement she found herself dragged along with Leandro onto the dance floor. Now there was no escape for Nyota as she forced into a slow dance with Leandro... not that she gave much resistance. Anyone else and she might have slapped them... hard. But god damn her teenage hormones compelling her to be complacent when it came to being around pretty tall Italian vampire boys!

As they danced, Nyota was more concentrated with her footwork than she was with her dance partner, her eyes studying the pattern of his steps and tries to mimic his steps. So far she had stepped on his toes so... thats good. She may have seemed a competent dancer but really she was more or less being lead by the more experience Leandro as they danced. As he asked her a question she didn't even bother looking up, instead giving her response as she continues to watch Leandro's steps.

"Ehh... just some hicktown in rural Nebraska for like... all my life. It was the fucking worst..." she answered, sounding a little grumpy as she spoke.

"But you had family there," he'd lead as the dance continued, a very slow and simple dance that they both could enjoy, "my siblings and parents all moved here with me." He had a large family, many siblings, he supposed he should consider himself lucky, though it did have its own problems and hardships.

The music continued, adding to the web of sounds that added to his mental image of everything around him. "What do you like to do?" he asked curiously, he'd never had many friends to busy with things, "I think I remember you saying you liked watching Star Trek, which would explain your cute name."

This was nice, just dancing and talking, he hadn't done anything like this in a while, "my dad watches it, I'll sometimes sit in and listen," he chuckled a little, "I always enjoyed it."

"Ehh... only my moms... and my crazy grandmother. I have an uncle out there too but... he had the brains to get the fuck out of dodge and settle in California." commented Nyota, making no mention that her uncle was technically her father. "Well must be nice your relatives here... assuming that you care for them. I know my own parents are planning to move here eventually so that they can be in my life more."

Nyota continues to move with with tempo, heavily relying still on Leandro to guide her as they slowly danced. As much as she looking forward to her parents coming to live with her... she was glad that they were not hear now because boy would they start prying. As Leandro complimented on her name, Nyota blushed heavily and looked down to the ground to hide her embarrassment

"Aww fuck... yeah well... just shows you how nerdy my folks are. I guess with name like Nyota... its enviable that I turn out Trekkie like my moms... right? Hell... Star Trek is big part of my life growing up... if I didn't like it I feel my moms would disown me maybe. But... I have other hobbies like... watching movies, exercising, art... and sometimes kicking someone's." Nyota, feeling that she has had enough with talks of Star Trek, decided to shift discussion back onto Leandro.

"Okey so... your a like... a vampire so... can you tell more about what that is like to be vampire? Hell... maybe tell me a bit about your vampire family too while we are on the subject. I just want to get my facts straight is all."

"That's good," he smiled, "it's good to have your family close." Being blind he couldn't show emotions through his eyes like most, he did show it though facial expressions and body language though. "Maybe I'll get to meet them when they arrive," their slow dance continued as they talked, his powers continuing to give him a good mental picture of her.

"Well vampires are like any people, you'll meet all kinds," he chuckled a little, "different races of vampires, or as we call them, Vampire Bloodlines." He was majoring in the subject, but he wouldn't bore her with details unless asked, "so yeah, I can't walk in sunlight without drinking a potion and silver burns, pretty basice vampire stuff," he'd leave it at that unless she asks for more.

He let out a quiet thoughtful hum as he considered where best to start with his family, "we'll were a big family, I'm one of the youngest, lotsa siblings." Leandro smiled a bit, "as you can imagine it gets really noisy at the house, but it can be nice." His father was ancient, so at least some of his siblings are technically old enough to be his parent.

Pallas · Nov 19, 2017

"You wouldn't be the only one wanting to meet my folks." stated Nyota with a shrug, being reminded of how much James has been looking forward to meeting her parents as well. "I can only imagine what it would be like to have so many siblings... to much craziness for me I feel so... I'll pass."

Nyota process the information, somehow it was mostly what she expected but she still wanted to pry in somewhat about vampires as... well an actual vampire is a rather good source of information when it comes all things relating to vampires.

"Okey you say basic stuff... is the one about garlic true? I always found that one weird... and dumb. Also... you just have drink a potion to avoid getting sunburnt? I would have though some sunscreen with an spf of 1000 or something."
