[There's no way Iona can resist homemade sweets. She automatically takes a cookie and nibbles the top. She gives a nod of approval of its flavor before taking a big bite.]

Oh, it's been exciting some years. Maybe too exciting. I don't think I'll ever do a White Elephant gift exchange with a bunch of kids with powers ever again.

[Ah, it's one of those stories. But she just as easily jumps to another thread of the topic.]

I did host a winter dance at the cafe before! Only once though... Mmmmm.

[She eats the rest of her cookie as her fingers drum on the table. Iona's always been the type of person who, despite having a mountain of secrets to keep, was oddly easy to read.]

You know what? I'll totally host another dance party. It was well received last time I did it and I'm positive there were couples that resulted as a part of that.

[ "White Elephant." he's not quite sure what that entails, but he can hazard a guess— Iona's explained "Secret Santa" to him before, so it seems like a derivative of that.

he huffs over the rim of his wineglass, finishes the rest of his drink. alcohol and cookies is a strange combination, but then again: he and Iona are a strange combination. if the glove fits, etc. ]

that said, he raises a brow. ]

Are you really so eager to get close to someone during the holidays?

[Iona raises her own brows at Claude's words over her glass of wine which is almost done. Then she answers drumming one set of fingers on the table.]

Well, that just got me thinking.

[The wine glass is set on the table and pushed aside as she leans forward looking expectantly at Claude.]

I'm thinking more along the lines about why I haven't gotten to dance with you yet, hm? That's the real question here.
