[Methos]

(OOC: It made her feel on more even ground. That's how Methos was hoping it'd work. It seemed only fair to him, given that he was glad to hear she has butterflies.)

Methos enjoyed watching his words cause Oona to blush. It wasn't just the knowledge she was reacting to his words that made it pleasant. He also enjoyed seeing the color in her cheeks, and how the carefully chosen colors in her lei complimented the blush rather than overwhelming it or distracting from it. Methos was pleased with his effect on Oona and how his work complimented it.

When she told him she found him beautiful too, he blinked with mild surprise. Methos appreciated the compliment. He was simply more use to being called cute or handsome. It was different to hear someone call him beautiful. Methos smiled at Oona. He certainly appreciated the words, would have even if they hadn't been unusual ones. They came from someone he cared about.

Methos nodded, "It's traditional for the man to lead, but there's no one to say we have to follow tradition. I could follow. I'd rather we find a balance."

He blushed faintly as she tugged him towards the dance floor. Methos moved, enjoying how Oona walked beside him once he no longer required drawing out. He decided to pay no attention to the changing music, feeling they could slow dance regardless of what was coming from the speakers. Methos tentatively took Oona into his arms, and began to softly hum a tune they could slow dance to.

"Mmmm, and he sings as well. You are a man of meny talents." Oona teased.

She was a bit nerveous, but excited as well. And she seemed to tingle where Adam touched her, making her want to lean into his touch.

"We missed sword practice today, with all the preperations," she mused. "I have to admit I enjoy the time with you. And the physical activity. You're certainly keeping me on my toes."

Oona swayed softly. This was just another sort of dance.

Methos' humming faltered with Oona's teasing, but the grin it drew showed that it was amusement rather than self-consciousness making him pause. He admitted to her ruefully, "I've done some singing for my supper in my time. I don't know if music is a universal constant to be found everywhere, but I've heard it in corners of my world most people wouldn't expect to hear it in."

While Methos had needed to be careful with his feet as Jack and he had gone from the fire to his hut it wasn't the same. Dancing with Oona Methos didn't just have to remember where to put his feet -- he had to remember he had two of them. The sword practice and skinny-dipping with Oona had been different too. Only when she'd touched him had it been close to this.

Methos nodded his agreement that they'd missed their sword practice. His smile grew as Oona admitted to enjoying their time together. Methos smiled warmly, "I might not have been the best sparring partner this morning. After hunting boar and wild flowers yesterday I shared some drinks with Frank. I haven't sampled any of the drinks tonight. I don't need them with you."
