But that didn't mean that she wasn't interested in hearing his answer. Who knows, maybe she could be wrong. HAH. Or not.

Soulmates? Evolette wrinkled her nose. Sure, at one point she thought that there was a soulmate for everyone. Someone who completed you, like they were made to do that, but lately, she didn't really know. If that were true, then could Nikola be her soulmate? It was way too weird to think about anyway, especially since they'd only been together for less than a month now.

She was just not going to think about it.

"Do you really believe in Soulmates?" she asked, craning her neck. She still wasn't really sure what to make of Nikola. Even though she'd known him years before they started dating, he mostly kept to himself, he was harder for her to read than others she'd dated.

Okay, she was thinking too much again.

A smile slipped onto her pink lips when he started stammering. That was really one of the most enduring things about him, something that she really liked. Sliding her arm though his, she twisted her fingers around his and nodded in reply.

When was this thing going to start anyway? Her eyes trailed around the crowd, trying to spot Hugo or Terry without realizing it. But of course, she knew that neither of them were going to show up, and if they did, maybe only for a few minutes. They were both far too busy for her taste. Not like she wasn't. But that was a different matter.

"I'll introduce you to my friends." she added, nodding. Maybe if he actually knew some people, he'd enjoy himself more. Then again, maybe not. "Speaking of friends, how's Willow?" It seemed that Evolette saw Nikola more than her friend these days. It was odd, because Willow had been the one they had met through.
Nikola couldn't be SURE but he was certain that he had flattened/ran/tousled his dark wavy hair more times than he could remember, in less than ten minutes. It was an old habit of his that he had acquired on his teen years, and had yet to overcome. "Because you asked me to?" Answered Nikola to her question, with another question, his eyebrows pulling together in confusion as he looked down at her. Was it not obvious? She'd asked him, and he said yes.

Uh-Oh. This was an awkward conversation, that thanks to his semi-word vomit, he had started and thus put himself into it. And what was he supposed to answer, really? The truth? The truth was that he did not believe in such a thing as a soulmate. He believed that there were several people that completed you as a person, and not just one - and those people were your friends and, your girlfriend/wife, too, he supposed. But then, what if Evolette felt differently? What if she believed in soulmates?

It was true: He really was an idiot; because only an idiot would talk about soulmates with someone they'd only been dating for a few weeks. If one of his brothers -or both, which would be worst- found out, they would have a field day. "Not really," began the young man in a low tone of voice, "While I do believe that there's one person to all of us -the one we are meant to end up with- I don't particularly believe in soul mates. I mean, I do, but my definition of soulmate is a bit different from what you have in mind, I'm sure." He smiled a lop-sided smiled at her. Yes, it was best just to leave it there - he'd never had this kind of conversation with anyone before, and he doubted this was the right place or time to have it.

As he gave her hand one little squeeze, Nikola allowed his gray eyes to wander and scan the place where they were right now;there really were a lot of strangers people in here. He secretly hoped none of those strangers would approach them - that way he wouldn't be forced to do the whole small-talk business and embarrass himself.

But that was unlikely to happen, especially because Evolette had just just that she was going to introduce him to her friends. Oh, the joy of meeting new people and making the fool of himself was something he was really looking forward to - but he was not about to admit that, so instead he simple let a small smile to dance on his lips. Smile that did not last much, for as soon as her following statement -or question, really- he gulped. "Willow is alright, I suppose. Though I'm fairly certain she is not pleased with me right now." He took a little deep breath, and tried unsuccesfully to not picture a beater's bat connecting with his arm. Or leg. Or face. "She had this game today - a pretty important one, mind you," Or at least he thought so, anyway; he didn't know much about Quidditch other that, thanks to his father, it was dangerous and that people for some random reason found it entertaining, "So I was supposed to go watch it. She doesn't know I'm at a wedding right now, let alone with you." Another complication.
