[ it's his loss? well it is but somehow given their history--she's probably better off not saying anything critical at all. even if she's feeling it. ]
... why not ask someone else you like to dance instead?
No, I didn't mean it like that. I assume that you feel for me the way a father does for his child. Just... isn't there anyone else that you--have those kinds of feelings for you'd prefer to dance with instead?
[ and it has been--about this awkward? perhaps a little less. but!! she also realizes in the context of saying that she probably made this feel twice as awkard! so in an effort to make this better-- ]
I would be honored to dance with you as well, Cobalt!
