When she was younger, she used to wear skirts. She was often complimented on them, too, and she didn't mind their feel or wear. But as she grew older and as her responsibilities changed. It became clearer to her that her role in society was to be impressive, to be the outstanding citizen she was, and to make a grand show of her birthright and her standing. She despised the idea. The very few formal events she attended back home were close to torture. She could look and act the part, but everyone's eyes were on her and she hated it.
Here, things have changed, but not by much. She still dresses well to make a good impression and though there is much less to be expected from her, she still doesn't like to parade around in dresses or formal wear. One thing that remains, though, is her love of dancing, no matter how simple or foolish. It's one of the few joys she indulges in and only every now and again.

It feels like he should be on guard duty or have his boss here, or-- something. Anything to alleviate his boredom. Even work or an unexpected mission would spice things up a little. Sliding his phone out his pocket, he takes a sip from his wineglass as he unlocks it- and nearly inhales the drink instead upon Re-l's touch and her voice so near to him, pausing to mentally run through the physical actions involved in safely swallowing liquid without choking all over a well-dressed lady. He turns to face her, immediately putting the phone away again-- she's far more attention-commanding than some imaginary missed calls. ]
No-- yeah, I am! Loving the, uh- [ Giving a vague wave of his free hand towards the orchestra, currently on standby; his point is defeated before he even made it. The defeated slump is more in his tone of voice than his actual posture. ] ...That obvious, huh? Sorry.

It's all right. I feel the same way.
[It's all just boring. She shrugs but holds out her hand.]
A little break from the monotonous. Dance with me.
