Open Complicated Emotions

[Branson Archer]

Branson hadn’t managed to find Blair before the dance had rolled around, it had been a bit of oversight, but he hadn’t.. It didn’t help that he had multiple things to say or talk to her about, one being the red rose, and the other just being a birthday message, since it was her birthday and he kenw that this usually meant she wasn’t that happy about the celebration. But he hadn’t been able to speak to her before hand and was having to arrive to the hall without being sure of where she was. He didn’t want to purely look for her either, since he wasn’t sure if he should or not. Branson just lingered at the snacks table, keeping his eye out for her, and knowing if pressed for what he was doing he knew exactly where to point for his sisters and what they were doing.​

Blair was a bit late for the Valentine's Dances, she hadn't planned to see anyone here, so she felt like she didn't need to come for the beginning of it. Not like anything could really happen during it. She looked around the dancefloor once she was actually here and from the people who were here alone, she noticed the only one she wanted to talk to. Of course, she also noticed Valerius with some random first-year chick but her brother totally wasn't on the list of people she wanted to talk to on her birthday. Blair fastly checked that her clothes and hair were fine and then finally went towards Branson, hoping that he didn't mind her joining him this time as well. "Branson, hey! Hope you don't mind my company for the evening," she easily said once she approached him, well, she was pretty sure that he wasn't against her company but she just said it.

Branson couldn't help the somewhat nervous smile as Blair approached him. he wasn't sure if he should mention the roses or just leave it. "I'd always enjoy your company," he told her with a smile, since it was something he enjoyed. "Happy Birthday," he told her. He knew that this was usually a holiday she hadn't in the past enjoyed and he always tried to ensure he said this. He didn't know what else to say and he opened his mouth to mention the roses before closing it again. he didn't want to make this weird for them. ​

Blair smiled eagerly as Branson said he always enjoys her company, it was sweet. "Thank you! Now I've reached the sweet sixteen," she chuckled a bit even if still, her birthday remained more as a Valentine's day and it felt amazing that at least Bran always congratulated her on her birthday and not Valentine's day. "So, how did your day go?" She tried to get to the theme of roses from the far with a sweet smile. Even with how proud Blair was, even she couldn't start to talk straight up about all the rose situation and the kiss, and just everything all together. It was an extremely uncommon situation for her.
