Gideon let go when the woman stiffened, scooping up the drink instead, because no one wanted to be that guy. By her unmoved reaction to his wink she didn’t appreciate the gesture, but fortunately Flora was more than eager for his attention – and to distract him apparently. Who knew she was such a girl’s girl? He laughed away the remark and didn’t seem particularly put out by the reaction. Fine fine. He’d already let her go! Gideon had hardly grabbed something he shouldn’t; he was just being friendly. The third woman’s cheeks had gone a pretty pink, and he gave her a knowing look up and down to say no hard feelings. His smirk was very inviting and more than a bit mischievous. Her friend might not want his attention. But she on the other hand clearly enjoyed it.
“Oh, she’s here somewhere,” he said to Flora with a loose wave for the general area. In fact it had been Saellia’s idea to come to Hikari tonight. This was their first dip into this new scene (Gideon had been all for the more risque Nocturne). But by the time she had absconded with both their chosen hosts, he’d decided he was quite bored by the whole affair. The people here were paid to be nice. It rather took the fun out of anything.
“Making new friends, obviously,” he said. “I’m Gideon.” It wasn’t entirely true. He’d heard them talking, and it had piqued his curiosity. Though his reception wavered the interest a bit.
[[Unless anyone has any objections, I am going to adjust the timeline a bit, so that this doesn't take place during the snowstorm but a day or two before. Still bad weather, but they won't get stuck. I think this makes more sense with the rest of the timeline, in which the snow started to get supernaturally bad around 1pm in the afternoon]]
