Courtly Dancing and Defence: Week 2

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"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."

"I gave you one question," Aly said with a wink. "So maybe I do mind. But I'll answer one - I needed to talk to crows."

Aly grinned back. "We'll see what we can do. How do you feel about weapons?"

She paused, thinking for a long moment. "Being able to talk people into what you want."

"It depends on the weapons, but I'm not automatically adverse to them," she said, thinking of both archery and fencing. "What do you think makes you most successful at persuasion?"

She glanced at Hinata. "I'm not a ninja, and it's not the same, but I could use a TA in this class," she said offhandedly.

She froze, eyes wide, then blushed furiously. "A-ano, m-me?"

Her mind raced as she considered it. It would, she had to admit, be good (hopefully) for her confidence, and her father would approve.

Cimorene bit down on her lip and glanced down, not blushing due to her coloring only. "My apologies. It just seemed really interesting."

"A couple of waltzes. Do you know many of them?"

He wasn't quite sure how to make their dances match up.

"A basic waltz?" Cimorene asked. "One two three one two three?"

"I think that's the first one" he said. "I believe I lead?"
