"Beautiful and intelligent. A dangerous combination. And apparently sneaky. How have you seen my grades? You're going to tarnish my badboy reputation." Despite his words, he was smiling with amusement.

He either missed her blush or had the decency not to call attention to it no matter how lovely it had been. But as they settled on the dance floor, the music changed and he took her other hand, easily adjusting to the change. Loki took the lead, lowering his voice so it wasn't too intrusive. "How many hearts have you broken this year, Tasha?"

"Don't worry, I don't tell secrets. Even my own," she countered with a sly quirk of her lips as she settles her hand in his, letting him take the lead and comfortable to follow. Still, at his question, she arched an eyebrow and attempted to look innocent. "Who, me? Why? Are you thinking of volunteering to be next in line?"

"Good to know." Loki could appreciate the secrecy, even if it denied him an answer. Her craftiness was impressive. However, he didn't draw her in too close. It was a slow dance, which made it intimate enough already, but she had a date, therefore was taken, so he kept their distance respectful. Most people, he wouldn't be above trying to romance away from their dates, but his respect for Natasha kept him in line.

"Nope. It was an innocent question. Damage control, you know? Just want to know who I should avoid until they've glued their shattered hearts back together. They're no fun when they're moping."

"No one is," Natasha retorted, rolling her eyes in faint bemusement. "Will it make you feel better to learn I've been trying to avoid shattered hearts this year? Too messy by far. Besides, I'm not sure the aftermath is worth all the trouble of getting involved in to begin with," she confesses, wrinkling her nose.

The dance was slow and he'd be damned if he'd let that little flutter he felt as she spoke have any kind of hold over him. "Messy, yeah, but... I hold it true, whate'er befall, I feel it when I sorrow most. 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all or something like that." Yeah, 'something like that' seemed pretty accurately quoted. But a carefree shrug of a shoulder followed. "Broken hearts mend, even if they are messy. That's all I'm saying." Then he deliberately ruined it, "Kind of like bacon. It's messy to cook, but damn it's good in the long run."

She was all set and ready to make a very serious reply to his quote and then he went and added bacon and she just dissolved into laughter instead, helpless giggles as she dropped her forehead against his shoulder to hide them. It's not very effective.

"Like bacon? Really? That's what we're going with here?"
