[Olivia is looking very uncomfortable on the screen, not even making eye contact with it. She looks like she wants to say something, but she doesn't. It takes a few more seconds for her to start speaking.]

I, I was wondering if... [Oh no it's too much. Think of all the people that are watching her! She ends up covering the camera, so only her voice can be heard now.] I'm sorry, but I was wondering if anyone here likes to dance? I'm not very good, but maybe practicing together will help with the, umm... touching we have to do.

[There's an awkward pause before she speaks again, and it's much faster.] I have something to do I should go now!

[When she sees someone walking towards her, her instinct is to turn and run. Yet she reminds herself it's about dancing, and that helps ease some of her nerves and shyness.]

Oh, yes. Are you my partner? [Her body language shows she's a little tense, but she's trying not to be too unfriendly.]

[goldcomplex]

Yes, I'm Artemis. [So they can start and - oh, he should probably get a name first. He forgot about that.] And your name?

[reactivate]

[She feels embarrassed because right, names!] Mine is Olivia, and it's nice to meet you Mr. Artemis.

[There's an awkward silence for a bit... she's not sure if she should break it or not.] So, dancing, did you want to start now?

[goldcomplex]

Preferably. And just Artemis, please. [He appreciates the title and all, but it's not a Regency ball or anything. He holds his arms up, hands hovering in place for a basic dance position.] Give me your hand here, then put your other hand on my shoulder. I will put my free hand on your waist.
