[Seren seemed like the sort of person that would go to parties... Sousei keeps getting this 150% confused, clearly.... all of these erroneous assumptions about him.]
It is for the better to try new things, typically, I would agree with that.
No reason you would've! But lavish parties like this aren't really the church's thing.
[He's been enjoying it well enough, really. It's exciting to see so many people and different foods, though at the same time, there's something about being in a crowd that makes you a little wistful.
... Shenna would've enjoyed this, he thinks.]
'Typically'? I'm guessing you don't think that really counts in this situation?
seren.
[there is SO MUCH he doesn't know how to address there.
So really, he just ends up blinking at Seren for a moment, before arching an eyebrow.]
Excuse me?
[wh...y..........]

Though if you don't want to because you think it'd look questionable, then I'd completely understand. I just thought I'd offer!
no subject
[...??? questionable--]
I'm simply not interested in dancing. Go ask someone else.

[He's willing to take the lesser of two evils here--
Though he arches an eyebrow at Seren a moment later.]
Though I certainly did not need someone to talk to.
[But. He's willing, nonetheless.]
no subject
[He shrugs, not bothered by Sousei's look.]
Then we'll say that I did, so you can do me a favour by chatting with me.
no subject
(stop understanding him so easily)]
... That's not necessary.
[He sighs, and crosses his arms.]
... Do you enjoy this sort of thing? [he means the party.]
no subject
But it's good to try new things, right?

[The Church, huh....... it's a little outside of his grasp, honestly. He's not sure what to think of that.]
There are occasionally situations where that doesn't count. This one... is harmless, however.
no subject
It might be harmless, but you sure look like you don't want to be here.
no subject
[ah.]
This is not a situation that interests me at all.
no subject
no subject
There were people who would take issue with my nonattendance here.
[aka he couldn't say no.]
no subject
no subject
It is already enough that I have attended. I have no obligation to act as though I'm enjoying myself.
no subject
no subject
[Oh.
He sounds sure about it, though.]
no subject
[And out of genuine curiosity—]
What is, then?
no subject
He probably should've expected that question, but he really wasn't prepared for it.
.. ... ...]
That's not really your concern, but--there are other people who wished for me to be here. [and he's a sap]
