Ling had flagged down a waiter with a drink and taken a glass of champagne. He was still trying to appear casual despite how serious the situation. Quiet whisperings were only going to get them stared at. Tipping the glass into his mouth just a bit he pondered.

And then he heard the music. Ah, yes, perfect, he thought. He grinned slightly into his glass and set it down gently on the table. Not saying anything just yet he took a step back from Ed and gave him just the slightest bow.

"May I have this dance?"

He did want to get closer, right? He only hoped Ed made an effort to play along as well to keep Lust from looking over to them. If Ed appeared girly enough she might not catch on.
