This is the largest, most elegant ballroom you have ever seen. Overhead, golden chandeliers flicker with warm lights, which are reflected on the large, window-shaped mirrors on the walls. A beautiful wooden dance floor sat in the center of the room, with ornately-decorated tables all around it. In the back is a pair of glass doors leading to a balcony that overlooks some gorgeous scenery.

[ Rise was waiting for her next dance partner to return with something to drink. While waiting, she joined a group of girls who were amusing themselves by talking about the most eligible bachelors in the room. One person that these girls couldn't seem to stop giggling about is the young man with light blonde hair. He was pretty quiet, so Rise didn't really understand what was so special about him.

He wasn't bad-looking though, so she found herself staring at him. Though she wasn't fluttering her fan or batting her eyes at him. She just kept looking at him. ]

What's his name?

"Asem Asuno."

[ She nods and continues to look at him curiously, waiting to find something --- that made this person so interesting. ]

[second_destiny]

[Asem was never very good at noticing female attention directed his way, so he was minding his own business. He walked up to a middle-aged man with green hair and a mustache and began speaking to him. The man in question? Vice Admiral Flit Asuno, Asem's father.]

[risette_truestory]

[ The girls' whispering became a little louder. They apparently recognized Asem's father. They were noisier than ever and it was really getting a little annoying ...

... however, this was getting a little bit more interesting. ]

[second_destiny]

[Well. Someone had directed Asem toward the girls. Blushing a bit, he approached.]

Um...hello.

[risette_truestory]

[ Well, his blushing face --- is kind of cute. Before the other girls could pounce to an attack, she decided to come to his rescue. ]

Ne, sempai? You promised the next dance to me, didn't you? [ She asked him with a wink before leading him to the dance floor. ]

[second_destiny]

H-huh?

[Okay, that caught him off-guard. But he'd try to roll with the situation.]

U-uh, right! I did, I did.

[risette_truestory]

Well then, excuse me.

[ She pushed herself through the crowd of girls and curtsied prettily. ]

I hope you will take care of me, sempai.

[second_destiny]

[He gave an awkward bow in response.]

Y-yes, I will. Shall we step onto the dance floor?

[risette_truestory]

[ She nods and they begin to dance.

But if Rise was anything ... she can really be straight to the point. ]

Did you know you were very popular, sempai? You must be disappointed that I took you away from your fans so quickly.

[second_destiny]

Huh?

[Nope. He's too oblivious to things like that sometimes.]

No...no, I didn't know. Is that why it was a gathering...?

[risette_truestory]

[ Giggling. ] I was teasing you.

[second_destiny]

What...so...wait a minute. Then what was the group about?

[risette_truestory]

Why? Were you hoping it was your fanclub?

[second_destiny]

Whoa, wait, that wasn't what I meant! I-I was just curious, that's all.

[risette_truestory]

Are you sure? [ Still teasing. ]

Are you sure you weren't hoping I was a member of your fanclub?

[second_destiny]

N-no comment...!

[He's perceptive enough to see the danger in responding to that.]

[risette_truestory]

Eh? That is not fair. Sempai is playing safe.

[second_destiny]

Well...well, how else am I supposed to respond to a question like that?

[risette_truestory]

You can start with a yes or no.

[second_destiny]

But...but both of those answers are pretty dangerous.

[risette_truestory]

Those are the only answers allowed.

[second_destiny]

Then I'm best off not giving an answer.
