Harrison was a good dancer, but then, so was everybody; it hardly set him apart from the crowds. He looked over at the woman, and now he was able to focus his attention on her. She had striking features that rendered her quite beautiful, and she carried herself with confidence. Those were both excellent qualities but now he desired to know more. He continued to dance, spinning her around before pulling her in with her back to him and dancing with his hand on her to make conversation a little easier. "I suppose then you have been twirled and spun up and down the length of this ballroom many times." he wondered how many times it would take before the dances were so well drilled in that one might begin to plan their next trip to the market rather than think about their steps.
"I have tried to attend mostly events with something else?" his intonation indicated he wasn't sure if that was the exact right word.

Another of the ghostly people walked through them, this time gingerly touching every space to find the mirrors as they walked along. That was what they needed to do, something different.
The dance would not last long so he asked her. "Would you care to try it?" he asked, gesturing as they moved, towards the parlour that led to the mirror maze. "It might be fun to try something that neither of us has ever done before." his competitive edge surfaced and he smirked at her. "If I beat you out, perhaps I can take your hand for another dance? Fair warning though, I was a Ravenclaw in school and always had a bit of a knack for a puzzle." the game was hers.
