Maybe for someone else, but dear merlin not for her. She couldn't take that tonight.
Suddenly a gentleman came up to them and put his arm around Bucky. So her date WAS real. He also wasn't jailbait which was a relief to Fran. Well this was a bit awkward for her. She didn't exactly have a date to this thing after all. "Ah hello! You must be Bucky's date. I'm Francesca Clairmonte." She extended her hand to the gentleman and smiled. She wasn't getting a sketchy vibe off of him which was a good thing. She'd probably sink into the floor if she did. "Nicholai Toussaint." Nico offered his free hand to go with the smile, his other hand set gently against the small of Bucky's back. "Pleasure to meet you, Miss Clairmonte." He caught her hand up and apparently without a second thought, gently brought it to his lips to essay a kiss over her fingers.
Habit.
And breeding. Quote:

Bucky grinned, glad that she was no longer being forced to keep saying Fran this and Fran that. It also meant she could avoid the awkwardness of asking her for her name.
"Yes, this is my date," explained Bucky glancing at him out of the corner of her green eyes. "He is uh...an ex-alumni too." Clearly. He was one of the smarter ones too. What was Bucky doing here again? "Delightful company even." Nicholai agreed. It was kind of what he needed really, considering everything. Not that he wanted to dwell tonight, if he could avoid it.
"Class of '68, if we're being technical." Though he had actually left the year before. Nico glanced towards the entrance way and the unmissable sparkle of his sister's, way too grown up in his eyes, gold dress. He frowned briefly before returning his attention to the two women, adding a small, almost teasing smile for Bucky. Perhaps a little conspirational. |
