"So," Alexander said, looking about her, curiously," I feel like you kind of owe me a little something since you are staying here and taking my food and such.... So, what I want you to do.... Is something beautiful." He knew it was a weird, random, and awkward request, but.... It was something he felt he had the right to ask for. "And, what I mean by that, is nothing creepy like it sounds- but.... I feel like all of the beauty has been drained from this world. There isn't many was left. But... As a natural human, I like seeing something beautiful. And know now that I don't mean anything like you naked or anything- no! I'm not a creepy perverted guy who forces this upon my guests. I know this is a weird request, but... I figured I would ask for it."

Amber glanced off to the side as she brought her hand over her mouth. It was a fair request and she would be more than happy to fulfill it after he had let her stay. Though she was not quite sure what to do. She had always thought her gymnastics routines were lovely but she simply did not have the space. Plus she could neither play an sing or draw. "If you have me some time I may be able to do something truly beautiful for you." Amber finally said as she lifted her head and looked him in the eyes. This was a request that she would be any to fulfill. It was interesting and she fully understood what he was hoping for. All she needed was some time.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Alexander sighed, and looked down at his wrist, tapping it as if he had a watch strapped there. He looked back up at her, back down at his wrist, and then back up at her. "I don't know. I think I'm pretty full up fighting zombies and sitting on my ass.... So you might have to hurry it up." He chuckled as he joked with her, before continuing," Nah, time doesn't matter at all. I have all of the time in the world. Take as much of it as you'd like."

@ Stage Doctor

"We'll find a way to entertain yourself for a bit." Amber said with a large smile before heading out of the kitchen. Though she suddenly stop and turned to him. "Actually go hide in your room a bit. I promise it won't take too long but I need to set it up first." Then she suddenly took his hand and pulled him towards his own room. "Just stay in there until I come get you." With that Amber closed the door.

Alexander raised an eyebrow to her as she dragged him along on his way to his bedroom, but didn't really ask any questions about it. He just let it happen. So, once to his room, he walked inside, smiled, and said," Okay. I'll be laying down. Just come knock on my door when you're done, and I'll be up. Good luck. Oh, but before this, do you happen to have any inkling as to how long it will take?"

@ Stage Doctor
"About an hour...maybe." Amber said before she closed the door. She turned to the hallway, stretched her arms up before beading I to the living room. Right now he had a plan and she hoped that in the end Alexander would like it.

After an hour or so Amber took a few steps back and looked at the living room. Everything in the room originally had been pushed to the side, leaving a large open space. She had used string that she had, having it hang a bit low from one side of the room to the next in a zig zag. Also the string had flowers that were hanging from it. Really it made the area look a bit nicer. During that time she had also cleaned herself up a little, even putting a few flowers in her hair.

Once she liked everything Amber headed to Alexander's room and knocked on the door. She hoped that he liked what she planned. While she wasn't sure that he would consider it beautiful she hoped that he would at least enjoy it. While she waited for him, Amber messed with the bow tie in her hands a bit. She was going to make him put it on when he answered.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Alexander was laying on his bed when the knock came, and he was at the door a second after the knock came, his curiously edging him to be anxious. He opened up the door, and immediately took in the sight of her. He was speechless at first, and then his lips slowly curled up into a smile. "Wow," he said, not even continuing his speaking after saying it.

@ Stage Doctor

Amber's smile seemed to brighten up a bit. Though otherwise she did not respond to his comment. "Stay still." She said as she took the bow and moved it around his neck, fixing it up for him. Once she was done, Amber took his hand and lead him into the living room. "Do you know how to dance at all?" Amber asked as she took a Walkman that was laid down on the table. She was not sure if this was beautiful but she did believe that it would be fun. In the least they should forget about the outside world for a whole.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Alexander chuckled, and said," Well, a long time ago I danced ballet to work on balance and coordination. But that was ages ago- so I apologize for any foot stomping that may or may not occur." He gave her a nervous smile, then, and continued," What kind of dancing did you have in mind, though?"

@ Stage Doctor
"Well I only have one CD that bad a large array of different types of music so I was thinking that we would go with what was being played." Amber told him as she gave him one of the ear plugs to the Walkman and out the other in her ear. "These songs were part of my gymnastics routines. Some of them are classic while others are pop." Amber then attached the Walkman to her hip but didn't etart the music. "Are you ready?" Amber asked him with a smile.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Alexander chuckled a bit, and then said," Well I'm just about as ready as I'll ever be." He sighed, and then set himself up nice and tall as he awaited some form of music to play into his ear. Even as it began to play, he looked at her, and said," Well, you tell me what kind of dance we'll do."

@ Stage Doctor

Amber listened as the classical music began to flow into her ear. A small smile came across her face as she went back in time. Though she was immediately brought back when Alexander started to speak. "Do you know any ballroom dances?" She asked him, moving a hand onto his shoulder and the other into his. "If not I can teach you a bit." Alexander said he knew how to do ballet but that was not the type of music that was being played. Besides Amber did not know any partner ballet but ballroom dance she knew. "We can start with a waltz or the foxtrot."

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Alexander chuckled, and said," Well I actually know the foxtrot, but I do not know the waltz. But, if you would like to teach me how to waltz- I would be more than anxious to learn how to do so." He chuckled again, and then said," Bycthe way, I've got to say that this is incredibly creative and I love it."

@ Stage Doctor

"Thank goodness that you like it. I was worried that it wouldn't be your thing." Amber told him before moving on. "And I'll teach you how to waltz! It is actually not too hard once you have the basics down." She paused for a moment, getting a feel for the music before turning back to him. "Alright so if you just follow my lead." Amber said as she began to tell him where to put his feet.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Alexander was beaming the entire time she was teaching him, and was sneaking longing glances at her eyes, pretending that he was just listening to he intently as he did so. He was beginning to pick it up after a while, though, and was having a lot of fun with it- despite stepping on her toes twice, and apologizing REPEATEDLY for it- in the meantime, he was blushing so hard that one could mistake him for an embarrassed tomato. "This is.... Fantastic. I haven't danced in a really, really long time," he said, with a bit of a bittersweet tone behind his voice," Thank you... Very much."

@ Stage Doctor

"It is no problem, trust me I am enjoying this as much as you are. " Amber said as she looked him in the eyes, a warm smile on her lips. She had noticed the moment Alexander had began to blush and it had only made her laugh a bit. Honestly she thought that it was rather adorable and she loved it. "And it is really nice to be able to do this again." Truly she was having an amazing time. Plus it was a joy to teach him how to dance. Alexander was really getting the hang of it but if he apologized one more time for stepping on her toes he was going to get it. "And I am rather impressed by how well you are doing with the waltz."

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
"Oh please," he said, laughing," I've officially made your toes into a waltz-pancake!" He then shook his head, and said," You know, you have really beautiful eyes, Amber." He then blushed deeper, and realized how flirtatious that sounded without him actually intending to do so. "Sorry, I didn't mean that like... You know what.... Gah I'm just shoving both of my feet in my mouth at one time, aren't I?"

@ Stage Doctor

Amber lightly laughed as she saw his face grow even redder, not having thought that it was possible. "Maybe a little. But luckily for you I understand exactly what you mean. Thank you very much." Amber told him. The music then stopped playing and Amber stopped moving her feet with it. she hesitated for a moment before glancing down at her walkman, "Do you want to keep going?" Amber asked him as she laid a hand on the device, getting ready to either take it off or restart the music.

@ Mother.Of.Dragons
Suddenly, Alexander seemed to look guilty. He let her go, and stepped back from her, saying," No, thank you. I think that I am going to go to bed for the evening. I have a bad migraine, and would like to see if I can sleep it off. Thank you very much for the dancing, though- it was fantastic. Good night." And, with that, he disappeared into his room, and the clinking of all of the locks could be heard as he fumbled with them before silence overtook the apartment.

@ Stage Doctor

Amber watched Alexander leave, staying where she was until she heard the locks on his doors. The way he left was very sudden and she had not been expecting him to basically run off like that. Though once the apartment was filled with silence again Amber turned back to the living room. She pulled the furniture back to where it belonged though she left all of the decoration on the ceiling, deciding that it could wait until tomorrow. After that she headed off to her own room, locking the door and getting herself settled before falling asleep.
