[OTA] Moves like...Kelly.

[dreamsofwords.livejournal.com]

If he was really honest with himself, Alasdair was really more of a Donald O'Connor than a Gene Kelly. More energetic, more frenetic, something of a grinning goofball on the dancefloor. Of course, he wasn't on a dance floor right now. He was sitting in a chair like a normal human being, flipping through a copy of H.P. Lovecraft's Tales for the sophomore class, with his iPod on.

But doing something like this, while sitting in his chair with Lovecraft like a normal human being...was probably not actually so normal.

Then again, if you had moves like Gene Kelly Donald O'Connor, you probably wouldn't really care.

"I'm pretty sure that can be arranged. I can probably even manage coffee afterwards, if you'd like."

He tries to keep his voice light and casual, and nothing expectant. Elani is Elani, after all. Something of a star, really. And Alasdair is, well, ultimately rather normal.

If he called her that, she'd laugh and tell him he's exaggerating.

But as it is, she'll smile in response, "coffee sounds lovely. Thank you, Alasdair."

Tread lightly, Mr. DeWitt. Her heart's still healing.

"You're welcome, Elani."

And he'll refrain from looking giddy, but he does shoot her a grin.
