(http://oddstuffmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/body-paintings-23.jpg)<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Kinky and Lawrence In Passing; Chloe,The Twins, Elizabeth and Keplar<br/><br/>It had been impulsive to ask Lawrence to dance. Really she just had been enjoying the music and since Keplar who she would usually bug into dancing with her wasn't around he was the only one acceptable. She'd considered for a moment asking Kink but he was in one of his moods and while most of the time she didn't mind him even found him fun if irritating tonight feel a bit fragile she chose someone she could tell from a glance would be safe.<br/><br/>She saw Lawrence hesitation when she asked him and almost took it back. He didn't know her well enough to know he could say no without hurting her. Lexie didn't get hurt often things rolled off of her for the most part but he was a gentleman and accepted even though she had the distinct feeling that he didn't really want to. Already feeling out of sorts he's displeasure with the idea did bother her though none of it showed on her face. Outwardly she smiled looking pleased when he accepting taking her hand in his pausing only to drink half of his drink.<br/><br/>She gave the group a charming wave and a bright smile, "Back in a jiff" She told everyone giggling as he led her to the stage and lifted her up onto it only having to hop a bit to help. he took her hand again and joined her on the stage leading her easily to the center. She watched him glance at Elizabeth then back to her smiling brightly and she tried to figure out the connection and his reaction. Everyone knew there was a past between them, there were whispers that they had been lovers. She why did he act so odd?<br/><br/>She shook her head to banish the thoughts it mattered not. let someone else worry she lived to have fun. She smiled and shook her head playfully when he said she should lead. "I'm sure you underestimate yourself." She said brightly even as she started to lead. Gentle pressure from her hands on his shoulder and his own hand helped lead him through the simple waltz. Lexie moved with a fluid sort of grace that came breathlessly. "I won't detain you long hun, though next time I might not me so merciful." Lexie said twirling out from him before coming back to go through a turn, "It's nice to finally meet you it was odd not knowing someone here." She said wrinkling her nose slightly and laughing, "Since we're family and all." She said with a wink repressing the urge to giggle. the song that they'd come into in the beginning ended and Lexie stepped back with grace. "I've already stolen you away for a moment, later I may do so again but till then." She leaned in and bushed a kiss across cheek before leaving hopping from the stage.<br/><br/>Ending the dance was for both of their favors, under the candle light it was quiet hot and while the paint didn't peel the spirit keeping her costume in place it did nothing to reduce the heat of it. She hadn't anticipated the discomfort but now was a bit eager to get away from it. She didn't expect she'd be doing much dancing this evening.<br/><br/>As she drew closer to the table she could see Kink had been making a mess of the table and looked in a particularly sour mood. Lexie felt the low buzz of irritation but pushed it back as she joined the group once more. "Don't let him lie to you, he's a good dancer." Lexie said smiling to the group as she picked up her glass and refilled it. She took a sip but no more. She may have felt out of sorts but getting drunk would not help in the least.<br/><br/>Lighting a cigarette Lexie waved at the twins and spotted Keplar. She almost hopped up to go give him a hug but he was talking to Elizabeth and she didn't want to disrupt them, for all she knew it could be important. Instead her gaze shifted to Chloe and Kink. She was a bit surprised she'd bothered to keep his company given his volatile nature but maybe she'd have a calming effect on him though judging from his expression it was not so.<br/><br/>Lexie plopped herself down next to Kink shifting in her seat a touch. It was decidedly odd how much you felt without the barrier of cloth protecting you. "Cheer up sour puss. There's no reason to be so dour." She said pulling a mock look of upset much like the one he was wearing it exasperated to about the tenth degree. "If you don't cut it out I may have to intervene." She said her eyes sparkling with mirth as she tried to cheer him up. She didn't like seeing people upset.
