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."

"Princess Cimorene of Linderwall, seventeen years old, senior I believe, I took this class because I think defense while dancing is a good skill to have, and I'm fireproof and ...I ran away from my engagement dinner to be a princess for a dragon." Cimorene paused. "What is the most unusual thing you've ever had to do?"

"Fireproof?" Aly asked, looking interested. "Magic?" She considered for a moment. "Made a bet with a God, I suppose. Or maybe learning to speak crow in my dreams."

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 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."

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