"Really? Well, I appreciate it. If things go well I might just hold you to that too," Julien said, honestly grateful for the offer.
As much of a double-edged sword as it could be, he tried to see ahead of things a little even if it could drive him to opt for inaction. No way he would have seen this headed his way though, however long he mulled on it. Was it welcome? Absolutely. He was far less likely to get stuck on the wall, looking for a way up that he couldn't reach, if he could get some help along.
"I'd say that I've never danced before so I wouldn't know, but I figure that goes without saying." Barring the times he let his hair down a little when nobody was around, that was, though Julien had no plans to make mention of that. Still, he was more than co-ordinated enough not to trip over his own feet or step on someone else's and that was surely a good enough place to start from.
Morgan bringing up classes did serve to remind him that he'd need to be getting to his own soon as well. He was curious about why they mentioned the caverns since neither of them overly seemed the type, but being above ground was more his specialty and besides, that was something between the two of them so he wasn't about to try and wedge that one open. "See you around, man. Expect to see me at the table with you when prom rolls around."
A look at his phone showed the friend request waiting for him to do something with, and of course Julien accepted it. Dragosavich, huh? Not a plain name by any stretch of the imagination; seemed about right, going by what little he now knew of him. He looked Alton up to send one his way as well.
With that over and done with, he got out of his seat as well and looked at Alton. "Since he mentioned it, I need to be heading off myself as well. It's certainly been quite an experience talking to you though. Stay frosty." Someone like him firing off finger-guns would just feel weird, so he was happy with that.
As Julien slipped his headphones back in and made his way out of the library, a passing nod to the library attendant as he went by, he couldn't really shake the feeling that saying it that way risked coming across as insincere a little too much for his liking, but it seemed most appropriate to sum it all up. Neither of them evidently cared much for letting the tide pull them into setting their paths in stone, and that was something he could get behind. Definitely good people to be on good terms with.
Either way, he was happy that the gamble paid off.
