Picking up the last chip she wanted from her plate, Alicia began relaxing again, and with that the blush disappeared. Almost. She pushed her plate off to the side of the table, signaling that she was done, and swallowed down the last of her soda before she dared look Ginny in the eyes again. It was silly, she knew. Ginny was a friend, and she wasn't there to judge her, but Alicia still felt that she had shared something very intimate with her. Maybe it was because the whole situation was so new to her, maybe it was because she hadn't talked to anybody about it until now, or maybe it was both, but now that it was done, or at least started, she felt that she ought to relax, and took a deep breath hoping that that would work.
"Well, yeah, it started as dancing and we ended up just standing there," she amended. "But it was nice and he really is a good bloke. He's almost too good." She smiled at the way Ginny patted her hand, found a bit of comfort in it, even in the way Ginny threatened magical harm to him if he hurt her. "I know that this is going to sound naive and a little foolish, but I doubt he's going to hurt me, and if he does, it'll be unintentional." Looking up she met Ginny's eyes and she could feel the heat threaten to creep back into her cheeks. "He wants to meet Sam, to... announce make him aware of his intentions." Slowly she nodded. "Yeah, that's courtship, and I've never tried that before." As she spoke, her nodding turned into a slow shake of her head. "It was a little daunting to hear, but I... like it."
