Strangely enough, she had been completely oblivious to the man who had entered and caught so many eyes, even those of men. She had sipped her drink a little faster now, a quirky thing she did when she really got into the music-- drank to the beat. She held the drink in her right hand, and with the left, she twirled her long dark hair.
People watching had always been a thing of hers, as well as getting lost in her thoughts. She continued to laugh at the stupid dance moves she saw, the rejections she got to witness, and the couples that got interrupted by other, more drunken couples. The latter had happened to her, once before. Though she wasn't really a couple.
That was when she heard a Yellow Snow ordered, which made her laugh even harder at the fact someone would even order something called that. Though she continued her people watching, that action was soon cut off whenever she felt eyes on her, a burning sensation.
The first thing she did notice, though, was the women giving her the dirtiest looks she may have ever received. This gave her the urge to go ask them what the hell rights they had to look at her that way. That was definitely not what she had wanted to see on a night out. Then she saw the reason she was getting those looks, it all made sense, she didn't feel angry anymore, in fact-- she felt a little warmer. She never spoke before, always kept to herself. She never got the time of day.
Now she spoke more, and was confident. And the one time she wasn't speaking or putting herself out there, acting like she used to-- she got attention. She couldn't understand anything. And to think she was getting somewhere in understanding people.
Her eyebrow raised, as she listened to him introduce himself. After he was done speaking, she took this time to look him up and down, look at the fact all he was wearing, a loincloth-- really into the Summer Revelry, she could see-- and then at his drink. So he was the one who ordered the Yellow Snow. A smile played on her lips.
"Garren," she echoed. She let herself close only some the distance between them, her body still facing the bar, her skin only nearly a foot, away from his. "Charming." she let these words linger in the air for a few minutes, sipping her drink until it was almost empty. "I'm Coralie. Of here." she didn't feel the need to be impressive, but she did feel the need to act like something she wasn't only a season ago.
Her eyes fell back on the women Garren had indirectly rejected. "You earned me some disgusting looks, yeah?" Even though she'd been having fun looking for a man she clicked with, it'd seemed she'd found him. She downed the rest of her drink, took his hand in a strong yet ginger grip, and began to lead him onto the dance floor. "Let's make this worth it."
