Courtly Dancing and Defence: Week 4, Period 4

Aly had taken over the music room for their classes from now on, and she was just setting up the speakers as the students came in. "Afternoon, guys," she said lightly, turning to face them. "I hope you're all enjoying our tropical paradise."

"Today we're going to focus on a dance you all need to know if you don't already - the waltz. It's incredibly easy, even if you have two left feet because it's basically steps on the count of three."

She ran through a quick demonstration of the basic steps, counting out loud. "Any questions?" Once they all were answered, Aly nodded, hitting the play button on her music. "Then grab a partner and try it out. Try to work with a few different partners if you can - it's good to get used to dancing with all different types."

"But it was my fault," he said quietly. "I was the one who ended it." His eyes were focused squarely on Seregil's shoulder. "So maybe in a way, I deserve it, right?"

"I don't think so," Seregil said. "Unless you were using him or were deliberately cruel."

Andrew thought a moment before saying, "It was just a big mess. And it was the hardest thing I've ever done." It wasn't easy walking away from someone you loved.

"Sounds to me then that you certainly don't deserve to be killed by mouse proxy."

Andrew snorted. "The idea would worry me a lot less if I didn't know it was actually possible," he replied. Sometimes, reading the old tomes of dark magic, was a bad thing.

Seregil frowned again. "If you think this might go beyond talk..."

Andrew really didn't know what to think at this point, but he didn't want to cause any further problems with Liir. "I'm sure it's just his way of coping," he said. "Some people write angry blogs and some people torture little animals." And, amazingly, that perspective wasn't helping at all.

On the other hand, the dancing seemed to be going quite smoothly.

Seregil didn't look fully convinced, but didn't follow that line of conversation. Instead he asked, "And what are you going to cope?"

"I'm, ah..." He really didn't have a good answer. "I'm moping about, pretending to not be depressed and confused about my path in life."

"How's that working?" Seregil asked with a little humour.

"I'm pretty awesome at pretending," he replied, managing a small laugh.

Seregil regarded him for a minute, then asked, "Want some help with that?"

"There's always room for one more in my delusion," he smirked.

"How about dinner tomorrow night?"

"Oh, um..." He blanked. "Like real dinner or pretend?"

"Well, real food at least," Seregil said with a smile.

He thought for a moment. "A guy's gotta eat, right? So, um, dinner would be good. Just to, you know, hang out and eat."

"Exactly. Might as well eat with a friend."

"Right," Andrew agreed. "So should I meet you somewhere?"

"You could, or I could just pick you up at your room." Seregil grinned. "It's not like I don't know where you live."

"That works," Andrew replied, grinning as well. "I'm pretty much always there in the evenings."
