Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taco wondered of this counted as desperation. Signing up to a date auction. At least it was for a good cause. His dad had sent him some formal wear to wear to the ball. Taco hadn't bothered to ask anyone to the dance. It not like he had many friends.....ok that was depressing. Though he wasnt sad, benifit to being an introvert? Perhaps someone would consoder a date, or be in need of one. Its not like he was signing up for marriage. Perhaps he could score some refreshments of see when good music was on in the great hall. That probably be later that night though.

Taco was pulled back out of his mind when someone approached. He attended enough fancy important events of his dad's so he at least knew how not to completely embarrass himself. Margaux introuduced herself and presented her pedigree. Taco was one to not really care but knew it was useful information to use on how to reply. "I am vaugly familier. My dad likes to buy your family brand for my mom. She likes the necklaces the most." He replied shaking her hand with a light bow of the head. "My name is Takuto Ikeda, my family works with the Japanese Ministry of Magic as an ambassador. I decided to enter as selling as raising money for the heath of others is always a good cause. Though I am courious myself, are tou buying or selling?" At least she didnt go in to blood staus, he was not a fan of people flexing that social muscle. He was halfblood himself as his mom was a muggle but stuff like that made no difference other than looking at the family tree.

Taco couldnt help but notice she lit up a bit more when talking about designing jewelery. "My parents do prefer quality." Taco commented back with a smirk. Even if she was a bit pompous it was good someone had a passion. He did internally sigh however when she mention matching donations like it was being done for bragging rights. Well a donation is a donation he supposed irregardless of the thought behind it. "Well I may not be able to match donations with the spending money I'm sent for school but I would be suprised if my parents didn't donate. If nothing else they would at least convince others to." He replied. He had to fake smile a bit when she mentioned not bidding cause someone was beneath her. Though she did shoot him a wink and mention she may buy anyways. Ugh was she going to bid on him. Well if so he would be a gentleman and do it for the fundraiser. If his dad could do it for a living clearly he can for a night. "Well we should bid accordingly to our preferance then?" He replied feeling like it was due to be a long night
