As usual, Zell was all over the place due to his inability to sit still. While he energetically bounced around the ballroom, Zell noticed Rinoa among the crowd. He barely recognized her in that new outfit. She looked kinda lonely, so it was only natural that Zell should give her some cheerful company!
"Yo, Rinoa!" he greeted as he popped up beside her. "How's it going?" Zell, of course, wore his uniform like all the other SeeDs, however, a red back that could unmistakenly be recognized as a woman's purse dangled from his elbow, stuffed with hors d'oeuvres.
Leave it to Zell to bring a huge smile to her face. Planting her hands on her hips, she admonished, "That purse doesn't match anything you're wearing? ... where'd you get it, anyway?"
Leanig over, she plucked at one of the straps and grinned when she caught sight of what was inside. Snacks. "Did you steal it from your mom? I'd be so mad if it was mine."
Turning eyes bright with humor up to his face, she claimed, "You have two options, Zell Dincht. You can share your goodies or you can dance with me. You have three seconds! One, two.."
Zell hesitated for a moment, not expecting to be asked so many questions and then suddenly be put on the spot. He looked back and forth rapidly, as if someone were holding up cue cards somewhere.
"Uhh, here!" he said quickly, holding the purse forward, letting Rinoa choose what snack she wanted. He could always get more from the refreshments table, and this would give him time to explain the purse. "It's actually Lore's purse. She kinda challenged me to wear it, and I figured why not?" he told Rinoa as he took a mini-hot dog out of the bag and popped it into his mouth. "It's pretty useful! I think I might be able to get more guys to carry around purses!"
Squall was waiting for Rinoa, leaning against the wall as if he hoped he could blend into it. He finally caught sight of her - actually, his eye was drawn by Zell's spiky hair - and breathed an unconscious sigh of relief as he made his way to them. At least if he was with Rinoa, he wouldn't feel quite so out of place. Social gatherings just didn't fit him.
"Hey" he announced in his usual quiet tone. He looked first at Rinoa, about to - well he wasn't quite sure, probably to tell her she looked nice, or maybe ask if she had been waiting long. He didn't have time to think about it before he was distracted by something he saw out of the corner of his eye. Turning to Zell, he asked flatly, "Is that a purse?"
