She is. There's something about the night: he's not sure if it's the masks or the costumes or the Atlantean or the atmosphere or maybe it's nothing in particular and everything at once, but he actually feels pretty good. Part of him insists that the dead don't have feelings like that, but a different, stronger part quiets that voice.
"It's almost midnight. Want to make a break for it?" Moving the mask aside, he takes a good sip of the Atlantean: it's not something to be wasted. "And then I can play you music, or whatever you want. I know I'll be the luckiest man in the place if I walk out with you on my arm."
Sometimes flirtation is harmless, but only sometimes.
