The party was in full swing with music playing and people dancing. Oh how much fun this party is! She just loves the atmosphere! Others are sipping at drinks and some cat call to her. Swinging her tail she goes over to the dance floor. Of everything in the whole world she loves to dance. Well after having fun that is! The lights swing around and sometimes cross over her coat. It helps that her coat has bright colors to match with the party. Dancing by herself she laughs as happiness goes through her.

Travis was trying to have a good time. Really. Maybe he had just been gone too long from the party circuit. Being a single parent could do that to you, you know? Having a little kit underfoot made the neon male change his priorities for awhile. No more parties. Lots more nap times and childrens' games. Less time socializing with friends who didn't have kids of their own, because the wouldn't understand.
He had thought that it would all come back to him once he stepped into the place. How to flirt. How to dance. How to look cool and have fun. Yet here he was, on the outskirts of the dance floor wondering what the heck he was doing here. Tragic...His gaze swept over the people dancing, trying to see if he was the only on having a miserable time. Looked like it. Everyone seemed to have a good time, especially some female off to the side of his view in bright colors.

Lossing track of time, Kensie dances her cares away. But dancing sure does make a girl thirsty after a while. Her gaze looks around the room and spots a guy with a bright green coat and interesting markings... And to say the least he is looking miserable. Frowning she goes over to the bar and gets a drink before making her way to the male and stands by him."So why the long face? This not your scene or just not the one to dance and party?" She sips her drink and her gaze turns to him every so often.

Travis jumped slightly in surprise at the voice right next to him. Looking over, he eyes the female that had caught his eye earlier before shrugging. "Your guess is as good as mine really." He leaned back as a couple moved a little too close when dancing. Sighing once he was able to sit straight again, the male gave an embarrassed smile. "Been away from this kind of scene too long I suppose. Almost feel like one of the old geezers wondering what the heck kids these days are doing."

Kensie watches how he reacts to things and finds that one of her thoughts is correct. He isn't used to this scene. Like at all! Tilting her head she looks around."This is one of the more..busier and crowded places. Mostly the drunk, or that ones that like dancing in a big crowd come here. Or the ones that are looking for one night stands. But I don't think you are here for that stuff." Smiling she leans back against the wall."Though if you are stepping back into the dating scene or something like that.. This place isn't really that type of thing. Too packed and half the time others will get to drunk and won't remember you."

Travis patiently listened to the other. He laughed at her observations. "Been there, done that, got the kids to prove it." Or at least...kid. The other one he had no idea what happened to. Then again, the mother of his kids had disappeared off the face of the planet it seemed so it didn't surprise him that the child she took with her would have been hard to find too. "Not looking to get into a situation like that again. Just want to get back to partying now that my girl's all grown up and doesn't need me anymore." He looked sideways at the female. "Are you one of those who gets too drunk and won't remember the next day?"

Kensie looks at him a bit surprised at that tidbit of information. Though she herself does like children. Someday she hopes to have some but not at this point in time. "A daughter huh? Well believe me. She will always need you in her life. Just sayin." Bursting out laughing she shakes her head."Oh no! I only drink one drink and that is it. Mostly am here for the dancing. I like remembering how my days goes. Detest not knowing." Grinning she finishes her drink."Just a word to the wise.Sometimes the best way to get back into the partying scene is to actually join it and not look at if from the sidelines." Getting up she walks to return the glass and goes back to the dance floor. Whether he follows and takes her advice is yet to be seen. It's his move now.

Once the female left, Travis stayed up against the wall for several more minutes, thinking about what she said. About the dancing that was. He didn't need personal life advice from a stranger. Partying on the other hand, he might need all the help he could get. But did he dare jump right on in? Yes the place was filled with strangers, but what if he made a fool of himself?
A few more minutes of going back and forth and Travis ended up on the dance floor besides the female. "Well in that case, if you prefer to remember your day....I'm Travis."

Kensie starts to sway with the music as she contemplates on whether the male will join her on the dance floor. She can basically feel the questions that would pop in his head as she has been confronted with them herself at one point in time. Luckily she had a friend push her out of her shell and show her how fun dancing at places could be. It's just ignoring the thoughts that one can be making a fool of themselves and more of just having fun and not caring about other things. When the male comes up beside her she smiles." You decided to take the dive. Good. Well Travis. It's nice to meet you. I'm Kensie." Letting the music go through her she starts to dance but not crazily like how others are. Just dancing in her own way.

Travis shrugged. "Well when a pretty girl comes up to me and starts chatting me up, ending with something like I should try dancing, who am I to turn down an invitation?" He watched Kensie move for a bit, trying to figure out her groove. Trying being the keyword. He was always one to go his own pace and speed after all. Yet he didn't want to mess up her dancing when he started. Which his did...a bit rusty like.

Kensie looks away hiding the slight heating in her cheeks. Pretty... Normally others would find her too bright to be pretty. So she isn't used to that compliment at all. She smiles and laughs."Thank you! Well I'm glad you took the invitation. Saves me from dancing alone or with someone unpleasant.." She doesn't alter her dancing as he starts to dance. Everyone has their own pace and it is more about having fun than dancing in sync sometimes."So you have a daughter. Do you mind telling me about her? I am sure you must be proud of her." She knows that if she can somehow really open him up and get him talking about something he loves than he will start to relax.

"We can't have that now can we? Though you seem to be the kind who doesn't mind dancing alone. Granted, probably not here surrounded by people." Travis smiled. "I bet you're one of those who'd randomly do a step or two wandering around doing your daily stuff." Unpleasant was another thing entirely. He blinked in surprise as Kensie asked about his daughter. "Well...she can be quite a handful sometimes..." Definite handful.

Kensie shrugs."I could dance alone but I do desperately love dancing with others. Crowds to me are just harder to get into with the dancing. " She grins as he would be correct in her sometimes doing a step or two."I have my moments. Usually when extremely happy about something. Or when I am bored. Though usually it is in the first category." She tilts her head slightly and nods. " Being a handful must have made it more difficult when raising her. I know I went through a phase but I got over it."

"Oh? Why is that? Because you don't look to be having problems dancing to me." Whereas he was still having a slight problem. Not as much as he did, but neither was he at his best. Maybe this just wasn't his scene anymore. Tomorrow he'd go check out another club or something. See which might become his new favorite to hang. "I think the main problem with raising her on my own was that she didn't have any female influences. Not that becoming a tomboy is bad; but she got into her fair share of scraps and injuries." He raised a brow at Kensie saying that she had gone through a phase. "So you mean you aren't a handful now? Pity. How'd you get over it?"

Kensie looks around and shrugs."Well crowds give you limited space to dance. Then there is the fact that sometimes it is awkward when one or more of the people try to talk to you and try to rub up against you." She listens and nods. She can see how it would be hard raising a daughter without a mother figure there. "Okay okay.. Maybe I didn't completely go through the phase. I can be a handful when I want to be or when I am defensive about something. Though I am better at keeping that side from coming up too often."
