"Go," he responds, the smile on his face and the nod he adds for emphasis hopefully making it clear that he'll be with her shortly.

As he watches her go, he's struggling to bite back the goofy grin that's tugging at his mouth; though the sudden descent of his friends helps that along.

He doesn't linger too much, eager to get out from under Angel's scrutiny and teasing even as Phil, Julian and Greg settle back to save the booth for later.

He wades into a spot close enough for Mae to reach, but far enough that he's giving her and her friends room. He's eager to catch her eye, and there'll be an offered hand to guide her safely through the press of bodies filling the dance floor.

He finds her on the dancefloor after all, and she greets him with a wide smile, a wave of simple pleasure coursing through her. If nothing else, she's made a friend. If something else, well... Mae's always loved to have a flirt.

She lets her body do the flirting this time, dancing her way closer to him in a subtle way (her chaperons, co-workers and potential future friends don't really know she's been flirting hardcore with a flyboy), until she's standing in front of him, the bass thrumming in her throat.
