Verity didn't think she was being mean. She's always been reserved, and recent events haven't exactly improved her demeanor. But that question does seem rather ill-considered. "Because I'm in mourning. And I'm not sure there's many people who'll want to dance with me, either. Or who will know how. It's an undervalued skill these days."

(Little do the ladies know there'll be a Groot in attendance, and they'll have plenty of tree to dance with.)

"Teal? It's in-between green and blue, and looks good with gold. I've never had anything custom-made for me. Maybe I'll come watch you and see how it's done?" Assuming she'd be welcome.
