Courtly Dancing and Defence: Week 2

"Hello everyone," Aly said, making her way into the classroom slightly late.  "You probably were expecting someone else, a man for one thing, but Professor Ambrose has been called back to his home for the term so you have me instead.  My name's Aly for those who don't know me."  She glanced around the room with a smile and measuring look for each of the students."

"I apologise there wasn't a class last week for you all, but I'll be more than happy to make up for that in the coming weeks.  Now I normally teach spying and such so the sneaky aspects of this class definitely appeals to me, but for now, I'd like you all to introduce yourselves - name, age, year, why you took the class and then two things different about you."  Aly grinned.  "And then you can feel free to ask me a question."

She flipped a switch and the music of a jig filled the room.  "After that, feel free to pair up and dance. I'd love to see where you all are."

"Jo," she said. "Some, but I don't know if I'd call it courtly dancing."

"A-any sort is g-good experience," Hinata smiled, "i-it's all the same, only the s-steps differ."

He looked down and nodded.

"All right. T-thank you, Professor. I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

I'm starting to understand why she locked herself in that damn tower...

Then he smiled at her.

"I'm sure the class will still be very interesting."

"Courtly stuff," Chad answered, "and I'm not if there is anything I want to know. At the moment. Maybe I'll get back to you on that."

"Really, most sincerely not your fault," he said softly. "Though I should probably get going, if you don't mind. I have some preparations to make."

Another smile, as much for her as for himself, and he gave her a short nod that was almost more like a bow.

"Good day, professor."

But it was closer to running than walking when he left.

"Flying dancers?"

Now his interest was piqued. Almost enough to distract him.

"W-we had two, until we graduated from the A-Academy, and then w-we were put into teams and h-had only one."

Cimorene nodded. "I worked for a dragon, so precautions seemed ... prudent. If you don't mind me asking, did the language come into use? And what sort of a bet was it?"

"I believe the waltz is always appropriate. What did he teach you?"

Inara grinned at Aly, uncertain how this had come about, but not upset by the change in instructors. "I'm Inara Serra, sixteen, and a junior, and I took this class because I was hoping to learn a method of self defense that I might actually have a reason to use someday. I'm from this planet's future, and I never owned a pair of pants until I came to Fandom."

"What do you think is the most useful survival skill?"

Inara was standing and looking around for a partner.
