Honestly, Avery had been slightly nervous about the Anonymity of this dance. As had been seen plenty of times, not all Gooseberry students could be trusted with total anonymity - they could be cruel, and this was another medium for people to be rude with no repercussions.
Maybe it was the supervision, but so far everyone had been really nice, and the complete sincerity in this person's voice made her light up. Everything about her night so far had been really refreshing and pleasantly surprising.
Her embarrassment over her inability to create her own mask like many other people did was short-lived, but the blush lingered on her cheeks. Maybe it was warm in here, or her newfound confidence in approaching people was wearing off and she was feeling nervous again. Either way, the blush stayed put, but then so did she. No shying away, not tonight.
The Ina Garten reference did not go over her head - though she hadn't watched much TV when she lived with her birth parents, once she moved in with Ollie she'd been allowed to watch TV, and cooking shows were a bit of a guilty pleasure. "I mean really, those pre-made pie crusts have been the same recipe for like a hundred years, they've basically perfected it. I'm sure the same thing goes for masks." She smiled when he complimented her mask back, even though she had no reason to be so proud - not like he did, anyway. "Thanks."
When he asked how she danced as opposed to asking her to dance, Avery rose a brow for a second and then laughed. "Oh, I'm not much better at dancing than I am arts and crafts but I get around well enough. I just happen to be mostly limbs." Being nearly six feet tall would do that to you. "But if you're asking, I would like to dance."
