“Rune… Right, sorry. I mean, my apologies. I mean… Well, you know. It's a pretty classy event, so as part of my job tonight I need to keep things classy on my end as well.” Salem explained. He hadn't expected to run into someone familiar during the event, so he wasn't instructed what to do in such a situation. But he figured playing it safe was his best bet, and that he should act as professionally as possible.
Rune took his hand as Salem offered her a dance, but initially pulled him right into her up to her, where he could feel her form right up against him, which really shouldn't surprise him when it came to Rune, but he wasn't used to women being this forward in general “But you best be careful, Salem, my dear~ ‘Entertaining’ me could take you all night~”
“A-all night?” And with that, Rune took his hand and pulled him into the crowd of people. Until then he didn't realize how far out of the crowd he was when he was serving drinks. Even with Rune as company he couldn't help but feel like he was pulled into the lion's den.
Once they started to dance, Salem started to feel a little more at ease. But only a little. Between being surrounded by people who may or may not actually eat humans and having Rune press right up against him he wasn't quite sure what to feel at the moment. But he remained calm and focused on keeping up with the tempo of the music. Rune then asked about his actual occupation, which gave Salem slight pause as to how to answer. “Well, when I'm not hopping from job to job, I'm a writer.” Salem explained, though he thought maybe it would be best to leave out the part where he writes horror stories about monsters. At this point, he wasn't sure if that would be accurate or offensive just yet. “You probably wouldn't believe it with all these part time jobs I'm taking, but my work is fairly prolific. Getting into Twin City was a much pricier endeavor than I imagined, though. Finding it in the first place was, at least.”
It was a harder question to answer when she prodded him about his reasoning for coming into Twin City in the first place. How does one even break the news to someone that they're suffering constant nightmares and came to Twin City in an effort to find a cure for them through magical means? “I guess you could say I'm looking for research material.” It was accurate enough, Salem figured. Nothing he said was a lie, but he wasn't being entirely honest either.
“How about you?” Salem asked, curious as to whether Rune also just went from job to job or actually had a more permanent place of employment. It occurred to him that she placed a business card in his back pocket when she copped a feel, but he was too flustered to check back then and it would be a bit too awkward to reach back and check the card for answers now. “You're seem like you're in your element here.” Salem said in regards to her dancing. He wasn't much of a dancer himself, and he had expect that perhaps the dance would be far more casual much like many other patrons on the dance floor who didn't take any lessons. Rune was definitely experienced in the art though, but fortunately for him the music was slow paced so at least he could keep up. After a bit of stiffness on Salem's part. But Rune was dancing as if this was all second nature, to the point where Salem was almost immediately brought into the rhythm with her. “Were you always a resident in Twin City?”
