Zoticus huffed in amusement at that. “I’ve come to realize that. Despite this, though, your father would rather you are accompanied going out.” He nearly reached out for her again once she nearly tripped again. “With how often you almost trip, I can see why.” The guard was silent otherwise as his client continued to speak, soon frowning as she admitted the people she tends to avoid. “For someone who is single you sure have many admirers, Avery. It honestly sounds like these men like you.” Though he idly wondered what these people were like. He’d find out later. “Although now you’ve got an intimidating bodyguard at your arson. If they drag you off to dance and you find you’re finished before they do, I can easily break it up.”
“Good to know that at least they treat you properly.” He gave with a nod, only to glance over to her once she questioned him. “If that is what you’d desire, I don’t see why I wouldn’t.” He returned, sounding a bit confused as to why she’d question him. “Although, what knowledge I do have in dancing tends to be old fashioned. I’ve taken my fair share of ballroom dance classes, along with a few other classes that were required a dance partner. But if you’d rather not dance, I would not be disappointed.” If she avoided men because they wished to dance too long, then he didn’t want to impose himself upon her.
