Saif was content to watch the others have fun socializing on the dance floor.  It wasn't that he didn't know how beneficial it could be if he joined them, but the fear of rejection combated that pretty easily.  Not to mention that his mind justified it by saying that he'd win them over elsewhere with his sharp wit and winning personality.  He thought highly of himself, obviously, but it all boiled down to a mummy who was not, on his own, going to join anyone on the dance floor.  Then, Starfall intervened.<br/><br/>"Wait, no, it's okay, really!"  Saif protested as he got dragged up and towards the group.  He sighed partway and gave in, trotting after the naga to join her and Damon, only to see Damon set off on his own as well.  Would Starfall allow that absence?  If he were being honest, Saif kind of hoped so.  After all, the kind of dancing he was unsure of was the kind that he did mostly by himself.  He had taken lessons and practiced dancing with someone else, even in a situation like this and he wasn't afraid of the challenge that Starfall's tail posed.  He knew to account for that, as well.<br/><br/>"Um,"  Saif shouted over the din, "I don't really know how to dance by myself.  I'm more used to having a partner if... well, if you don't mind obliging me, that is."  He said, holding out a linen-wrapped hand to the serpent.
