The music was boring. The people were more boring. If it weren't for Jay he'd probably have already fled outside to the fresh air away from all the stuffy people. Ms. Vena was a golden respite in the circle and she seemed like she wanted to get deeper involved with Jay but he was gone with the phone.
Cruz wanted to talk to Jensen and Nox, well he wanted to dance. But the music sucked. Nox flipped to a music app that had the sheet music on his wallet and started flipping for a song. Something that wouldn't rile the constituents of Ascendancy's house, but something that was at least dance worth. "Stay with Mr. James, Cruz. Talk shop. I'll be back in a bit."
Nox made his way through the crowd over to orchestra who was playing some waltz. Boring... Nox could do it but it was boring. He looked for the coordinator who was standing by listening intently. "Play something a little more up beat? Just one, see how it goes over?"
Nox showed him the sheet music.
The man debated, he looked at the people, then back at the orchestra and gave a simple nod. "I think we can do one song."
Nox grinned. "Much appreciated."
Cruz had given him cash beforehand and Nox tipped the man with half of it. It was worth it and he appreciated it. It was one song."
Nox went back to their small circle and smiled at Vena offering her a hand. "Care for a dance?"
It felt odd not saying Duckling, and not truly wanting to get laid, but Nox needed to dance. He wasn't so drunk he couldn't dance. He was still feeling it but his head was less woozy as he grabbed the power inside. It felt better, he didn't draw upon it, just held it in his grasp. The things he could do to impress the fancy lady. He kept his grin light while he waited for her answer. And the new music to start playing. He was sure no one would expect a song from the 1920s much less a big band tune played by a full orchestra. Nox knew it would be grand.
