Cabaret Conundrums [ Sienna - Maxwell ]

Even though it had been only moments before, Sienna's short-lived flirtatious mode felt like it had happened eons ago. Probably due to the maid wishing to distance herself form the whole thing as much as possible. She wasn't fond of feeling that way and so what better way to get past it than to forget is as quickly as possible. It wasn't like she'd need that fake version of herself anyhow. Of course the moment she said that Maxwell decided to have a change of heart.

Still sipping out of her glass she slowly turned to look at him with wide eyes. He WHAT?! The last gulp of her drink had just been inhaled and she swallowed the lump in her throat along with it. Properly flustered by the earlier compliment as well she tried to regain some of her composure which had just been whisked of to some unknown place. It wasn't like she hadn't heard that same line, but her earlier actions just made everything a million times more embarrassing. "Ah um no It's okay. " She said shaking her head in a nervous manner. Getting swung around by the fool was one thing but slow dancing. Goodness no! "I was just cold and now I'm not so no need to dance. All better." LAME, so lame. But she was completely caught off guard by his sudden acceptance. The tables had been turned and not in her favor. The little imp now had all the dice, as usual.

Ugh, she hated him. That stupid smile. She remembered being revolted the first time they'd met. And while that feeling still surfaced occasionally she mostly had a hard time deciphering how she honestly felt around him anymore. It was a little aggravating. Regardless though she cupped her hands around the bottom half of her face in some sad attempt to hide her flushed cheeks. There was nowhere to run. They were on an island in a sea of potential enemies and if he tried to wiggled away it might cause a disturbance and they'd be in trouble. She was stuck here with the little freak.

His wagging finger was met with narrowed eyes and she held her ground as he leaned forward to smile coyly at her. Only when he spoke though did she react, WHAT?! "F-f-fall, for you?!" No way, not a chance. Absolutely ridiculous! She wiggled back away from him, and huffed at his threat. "N-no need to worry. I'd sooner f-fall for a hamster!" She stuttered out under her breath as she did a terrible job of hiding her face. And then to make everything that much worse he winked and then proceeded to climb up and join her on a seat on the other side.

"Wha, what are you doing?!" She gasped looking horrified and even more flustered as eh crossed the only barrier she'd had to encroach on her personal space further. And now he was still pestering her for that dance she'd brazenly asked for. A heart string, she was going to leave him hanging from some string by his neck if her own heart survived this. "Ah uh well." She started, trying to grasp some of her sanity and take a hold of this situation somehow. It was then she realized that some of the people in the area were looking their way. Ah no, she'd gotten so wrapped up in him she'd not been paying attention properly. She didn't want to cause a scene and he had just plopped his self on the counter. She promised he knew just what to do to goad her into uncomfortable situations. Devious little imp.

"F-fine okay just get down." She pleaded, tugging on the end of his jacket in an effort to get him down faster. Whatever the fabric was felt nice between her fingers so she tried to concentrate on that rather than the impending romp around the dance floor she was now unable to get out of.

If Sienna hadn't died already sure his loud proclamation would have dropped her on the spot. Why so loud?! The urge and the desire to leap up and strangle him was great. Thankfully she was still well aware of the numerous eyes on them and she was able to keep that in check. She just did not understand how he made her so crazy! He hopped down and skipped away leaving for only a moment before bowing in what she'd call an over indulgent fashion and held a hand out to her. Shall we... ugh what had she been thinking.

It wasn't like she could say no at this point. He'd insist and be persistent. It was best to just go along with his erratic flow of things and hope people went back to their own things and didn't look too hard. Not like she was the most memorable apprentice anyhow. Begrudgingly she walked the few steps to meet him and grasped his hand. "Please.. don't do anything too stupid. I'd like to go home tonight. The Both of us. Preferably ALIVE." Was all she said. and even that probably wouldn't help her. Maybe she could convince him to help her out of this place. Which would be the most ideal option. But then she'd just spend the rest of the time eh was gone worrying so either way she was losing.

Sienna's eyes narrowed at his admission and her name being said. And so he knew. She'd always expected he was far more crafty than he'd ever let on. And she'd been watching him. Not like she'd had a choice really and the more time she spent with him the more there was to him. It was annoying and aggravating but also devastatingly intriguing. And all at once. And this,,, whatever this spy mission was only added another level to her rainbow nerd.

His loud rapport continued as he nosily kissed her hand to which she wrinkled her nose up in disgust. Little freak. Although her face lacked the intense malice it usually did. Not that she was aware of this of course and just looked apprehensive, annoyed and maybe just a little pleased as she was pulled onto the dance floor. While she was still worried about the enemy she hoped his silly antics might divert attention rather than draw it to them. It was possible maybe, but only if she didn't look so stiff and unwilling. That would draw more attention on a dance floor than someone's wild actions.

He spoke again and she had to agree. It was a huge surprise she was here. Himself included. The question of why he was here, practically undercover was another story she'd have to needle out of him later. Providing they lived. The rest of his comment caught her a bit by surprise. Though that might have been because of how close he was. The maid was the most touchless thing. Being in such close quarters always bothered her. Usually she'd have just hissed at him or shoved him away. But she'd just agreed to not be her usual fussy self. So she managed to not do that even as his arm secured a place around her from behind. Which really just remembering their prior conversation and the flirting made her cheeks heat up a bit. And suddenly this dance was a million times more flustering. It totally made no sense to her rational mind but her body reacted all the same and she was finding her usual disgust was intermingled with something she wasn't comfortable even thinking about.

So she diverted her attention to the conversation. "N-no one stood me up. I was just waiting on my friends who went to that room and I didn't want to go." She replied win a hushed tone, unable to completely mask the tremor in her voice. He'd notice of course, he noticed everything. It was annoying. He was annoying.

Sienna was surprised at the sudden whirl causing her to latch onto Maxwell from fear of being flung away. Crazy little imp. Once she got her bearings though she pulled back some shooting him a look but said nothing as he explained the curtained room her friends had wandered to. well she'd rather they'd come out now so she could go home. She'd had a little bit of fun already there was no need to over stay her welcome was there?

"So... would you mind dancing me to the exit?" She asked hesitantly. She knew he'd sooner spin her around the floor all evening but she'd come expecting to find plants and maybe some civil company. Not a party filled with enemies and her own teammate manning the bar in disguise. It was a little more excitement than she was willing to endure. Now whether he did as she asked was the real question. He could very well spin her around as he pleased and there wasn't much she could do about it.

"Please?" She added hopefully. "We can always dance another time. When there's no one who might murder us. And you can even dress like this again. I mean I like it so it's on you I guess." She glanced away after that looking a little flustered at having admitted that last part but turned back to wait for a response.

Yes she wanted to leave, not necessarily because of him but more fro her poor nerves. She'd not been mentally prepared fof this madness she'd unknowingly walked into. Maybe.. maybe had she known.. no. Had she known she wouldn't have come. She was surprised though as he nearly ceased all movement at her soft pleas to escape the place. She'd thought he'd kick up more of a fuss. How strange...

Her thoughts on the matter were silenced once he stopped altogether though and couldn't help but smile at his over dramatic whine of agreement. Her head started to nod as he said she had to mean it. Of course she meant it. it would be rude to promise something and not go through with it. But his choice of words made her cheeks flush in angry embarrassment. "What? D-d-date? T-this isn't a date!" She hissed around her nervous stutter, remembering to lower her voice some. "And all day? What about my chores and duties. I have to do my fair share you know." Her arguments were sadly not very convincing, not even to herself. She was like an alternate universe Cinderella who got dragged to the ball when she wanted to stay home and clean. It was as ridiculous an idea as it sounded. How had the promise to dance turned into a date?! Also that look on his face... she'd seen that look before... and she didn't trust it.
