"The harp?" He sounded surprised and was. "That's rather unusual. Perhaps, sensei, we could play together sometime... but only if you promise you'll sing." The man winked and gave a chuckle, "I'm sure you've got a beautiful voice..."
Zach eyed her drink, a little concerned that it might already be going to her head. She was rather tiny... but far be it from him to question her. After all, she was a doctor--she knew what she was doing. "The guitar, and I have experimented with the flute... I don't particularly like it, though. Now, the opera however... Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. You wouldn't happen to like Don Quichotte, would you?"

Ami blushed deeply at the invitation and the insistence that she sing. She shook her head, "No, nothing like Mina-chan's, but I can carry a tune." She was not drunk, but her inhibitions had been lowered, and she was definitely much more talkative and open than she'd normally be with someone she'd just met.
She blinked at him, "You.... don't like the flute?" Ami was confused and her expression would reflect that. She was not disappointed, simply confused. "I would have thought you'd like the flute..." The memories of him playing the flute when they alone were too sweet. She remembered resting her head in his lap while he played under a tree by her favorite lake, and the idea that he didn't like playing the flute in this life seemed wrong to her.
She shook herself out of the memories and thoughts and smiled again, "Massenet's Don Quichotte? I do."

He shook his head, "Nah, it just never appealed to me." Zach shrugged it off and smiled, "Well then... that's fortunate. There's a showing in town next weekend, opening night. It's fine in and of itself, but I thought I'd have to sit through it alone. It'd be so much better if you'd join me."

Ami blinked and nodded, "I... I'd like that." She blushed and went to pick up her glass, then realized that it was empty. She had never been good with guys, and now she was being asked out and even the alcohol in her blood was not helping.
"I... um... I should go get some water." She chuckled a bit awkwardly, "I don't want to have a hangover in the morning..." Not that she'd really drunk enough for that, but she could use some water right now. She stood gracefully, not wanting to leave him, but needing a moment to clear her head.

Zachary grinned. Victory! Not that it had been in anyway difficult, but he was happy nonetheless. He nodded, however, and started to stand up to get her some water when she rose and headed away. So, stopped from being a total gentleman, he returned to his seat and watched her.
He couldn't stare, though, that wouldn't be wise. Zachary forced his eyes away and took another look around the room, noting a few others that he recognized around. Khalid--he should have know that man would have been there. Zach snorted faintly and concentrated on his food until ami reappeared.

Ami returned to the table after having gotten a glass of water. Actually, she had downed a glass of water immediately - with her affinity she tended to drink more water than most people. She had a second glass which she would drink more slowly that she brought back with her.
She smiled at the fact that he was still there, slightly surprised but she tried not to show it too much. Ami was definitely not used to this kind of attention. She sat down, sipping her water and glancing out at the dance floor with a slightly wistful smile before turning back to Zach. "I have to admit, I feel so out of place here... "

"Do you?" Zacharie was actually surprised and allowed it to show. He'd looked back up when the woman rejoined him and offered her a pleasant smile. "You seem rather well accustomed to it... or else you're a fine actress to boot."
((that sucks, i'm sorry. x.x i swear the next will be better))

Ami blushed a bit at the compliment. He had obviously not seen her earlier when she had avoided the crowds, barely mingling. She was much more comfortable than she had been when she was younger, but that did not mean she enjoyed these kinds of gathering.
She shrugged, "Accustomed and comfortable are two different things. I don't think I've ever enjoyed formal parties. I tend to prefer small gatherings with my friends." A smirk graced her lips, "Though somehow I think there are a lot more of these in my future..."
Ami realized she had not seen Usagi for a while and hoped she was ok. She scanned over the crowd trying to find her. Eventually, she spotted her over at the bar with Minako and Makoto and was able to turn her attention back to Zach.

"Well one could only hope..." Zach replied with an errant wave of his glass. It didn't spill--he was careful not to spill. The blonde reconsidered a moment later as he lounged back in his seat, "Or perhaps they wouldn't, if they're in your situation. I would hope, though, for assuming I get myself invited then it would be such a great opportunity to keep such charming company."

Her blush deepened and she found herself taking another sip of the water to try to cool herself off a bit as well as to hide the flush she felt must have been red enough to clash with her dress. "You're quite the flatterer..."
She smiled to him, and it was a sincere smile, but there was a nervousness as well. Ami was simply not used to being flirted with so openly, and as much as she knew his past life, she did not know Zacharie well enough to enjoy easy conversation with him. Though the fact that she had not fled and was talking suggested that there was some comfort.

"It's easy with someone such as yourself to flatter," Zacharie replied and gave a wink. He had long since finished his plate and didn't bat an eye when a servant collected it. "I do realize that you don't like these sorts of events but if we are both here then perhaps we could make it a bit more enjoyable. Do you dance, Ms. Mizuno?"

Ami nodded a bit, grinning, "I'm actually already enjoying myself more. But yeah, I do like to dance." She usually declined to dance, or only with guys that she knew. Perhaps it was all the books she read, but she had hoped that Zacharie would ask her to dance, "And please, call me Ami."
She might be flustered and nervous, but all of her fears that he wouldn't even want anything to do with her had been put to rest, and she was enjoying the evening after all.

Zach got up and offered her his hand, smiling as he did. "Ami, then. And I would be honored."
