"Untrue. It's a real number. Numbers that aren't real are, like... the square root of negative one. Or something." Alice scrunched her nose up some more in defiance, the habit still overtaking her expression. "I'm holding zero apples now, aren't I? And zero hands." And she wanted zero dances, too, but that obviously wasn't happening.
Well, to be honest, it was a stretch talking about weight gain right now. While this whole aging thing hadn't affected her appearance in terms of hair color and wrinkles, it had the seventh year dropping pound after pound. Her body had gotten far too sparse in places she was NOT meant to be sparse in... maybe she could do with the grease today? Yeah. "Eh. I'll find something better after that dance." That ONE dance.
Wholehearted approval of the Queen and Lady Antebellum selections here. Who'd picked those ones? The Aerosmith song was a bit out of her range of taste, but Alice still swayed to them slightly as she slipped out of her shoes for her dance with her best. Dead Kneazles were good, they were, and she was most definitely enjoying their first set. Until she got another look tossed her way, that was.
Make up? Really? That was the best Dora could do? "Stop making excuses for her. She's doing it again, see?" And the lioness still had no idea why. But she did find it very annoying that Vesper was content to just stand there and shoot her nasty looks while on stage, especially when Alice was clueless as to what she'd ever done to receive so much dislike from her. That was just... cowardly. And mean.
And she somehow liked the Ravenclaw's singing a lot less now.
There was still a Dora dance in order, though. Too bad the set was over. "S'no fun moving to sound system stuff. During their next set. Promise."
Dora shrugged.
"Square root numbers might as well be zero which isn't real." See how that worked, Alice? Totally sound logic there. She deserved two dances for it. "You're making a face. And you're holding no apples, not zero apples." And she was getting more than zero dances, yes.
Finding food after the dance was okay with Dora too, since food never was a big priority of hers. She might end up grabbing a butterbeer before the night was over though.
Yes, that was the best she could do. Truth was she didn't
really know why Vesper was giving Alice looks, and she also didn't care to. Didn't need to be having fights with another one of her closest friends, especially one she shared a dorm with. No thank you.
"Just ignore her. Look at all the pretty boys up on stage instead." Like her boyfriend, he was looking dapper, yes? And Nigel. Dora would never be able to tell Blue enough how lucky she was to snag
him. And of course Ascanius was a mighty fine looker himself, but she was never telling him that. Didn't need that over-sized ego of his being fed.
But what? Dora pouted a bit. In a totally mature way.
"But I wanted to dance now. Aliiiiiiiice." She made dramatic grabby hands at her best.
