Closed Should have asked me first

Imogen Styx-Cade was a little blunt, forward, maybe brash and threatening. However, it was how she got what she wanted. And she wanted a date to the ball. She had on this really pretty light pink dress that was too good to waste. Imogen asked Eli to meet with her at the door to the Great hall where she rocked on her heels. She wore some heels but her mom enchanted them so that they were comfortable and she wouldn't trip easily. Imogen just hoped that he would not stand her up. She would be crushed if her nerdy crush would leave her here, looking all cute and fabulous.​

Eli had never had a date to anything before. He didn’t even really think he knew what was expected of one. Well, he kind of did, his dad and mum had always ingrained in them how to be polite. Imogen had kind of cornered him though and he hadn’t really known how to say no so he wasn’t sure if this counted as a date or not. He had seen her around a lot, she seemed like she knew what she wanted and she certainly wasn’t a push-over though he had to admit he’d been a little surprised to learn she even really knew who he was. One of Yuri’s roommates so he just hoped she didn’t know too much about him. A little mystery never hurt anyone - not that he was from a particularly mysterious family or anything. He figured this would be a good opportunity to see how things went outside of things with Lily. She’d told him that they could be friends and he appreciated that, so now it was time to make good on that and look outside of their friendship. When he made it to the hall, he noticed the blond right away, in her cute pink dress. He grinned and made his way over, tilting his head to look at her. “Kawaisugiru!” he said, but made no effort to translate for her. “Thanks for inviting me, it’s nice to come with someone.”​

Imogen finally saw her date, and he looked really good cleaned up. Not that he looked bad without the outfit, but still. He said something in another language, which caused her bright smile to fade. Wait, what if it was insulting? And then he thanked her for inviting him, how it was nice to come with someone. She wanted to put her hand on her hip and tell him off and go back to her dorm, but she was here, and she was determined to show off her pretty dress. "You do know I don't speak Japanese right? How do I know you didn't call me a cow?" Imogen reached out to grab his hand anyway. "I dressed up to my best for you. You are my cute nerd date, so let's go."​
