i don't think it's a must. i think it's something some people like to do. [ not that josuke would really care about showing up alone to a dance, either, but he likes her company. ]
[ Hold on, now it sounds like he's asking her out on a date! He was only hoping to go as friends. He doesn't want to make it weird between them both. ]
ah, i'm not asking that we go as dates or anything! i just thought it'd be fun.
[ But after saying that, he realises it might be mean thing to say to a girl. He doesn't want to hurt her feelings either. ] i mean, not that i don't think you're cute enough to date! you're definitely cute!
[ ahaha, oh no, she's laughing at him. that's not nice, but she can't help it when he's acting so flustered over the messages. ]
Don't fret, Josuke, I understand the intent of your request. We can of course go as friends. I won't tease you any further, less you turn as pink as your text.
i'm ... i'm not going to turn pink! [ he is a little pink? but not as pink as the text at least! ]
it's actually my first time going to a party like this. my school didn't have dances, like the american ones do. [ and he learned everything he knows about proms from Grease. he's trying his best here. ]
god, josuke wishes he were a prince. think of all the $$$$ ]
responsibilities or not, you had to be loaded though. now i'm thinking of all the stuff i could buy with that kinda money ... [ she literally just said it's exhausting. but no, now he's distracted by fantasies of having nice clothes and shoes. ]
Realistically you wouldn't be spending that money. It would go into supporting the local towns and villages, paying your armies their due, making sure things run smoothly across the lands.
[ hi josuke i'm zelda and i'm here to crush your dreams with some medieval economics. ]

well, i was just wondering if you had anyone you were planning to go with.

[ though that does seem normal. she never had to find anyone because, well, she was the princess. she was hosting the balls, not attending them. ]
no subject
anyway, i'd like to take you. what do you say?
no subject
That's quite forward of you, Josuke. I'd be flattered to be your company to the ball.
[ and yes, she's wording it that way on purpose!! ]

Then you get to have a new experience out of this. I've been to many dances, and hosted them myself. You don't need to worry, they're quite enjoyable.
no subject
were you some sort of lady? [ with the talk of balls too. zelda hasn't told him about her status back home. ]
no subject

I was a princess however.
