How to Blend in and Courtly Dancing and Defence: Periods 3 & 4, Week 7

A note had been sent around to all the students in both How to Blend In and Courtly Dancing and Defence telling them to meet at the Danger Shop for both the 3rd and 4th periods.

The Danger Shop was set up with racks of costumes again - formal clothes with many, many masks of all different sorts to choose from.

Aly was smiling as she glanced around at the students though her eyes were sharp to pick out injuries or worries from the weekend. "It's good to see all of you in one piece more or less after the past weekend. Sadly for you, because we won, you all still have class today," she teased. "Next time, keep that in mind."

"As I'm sure you've all noticed, we're going to have both classes together today. For a masquerade ball. Students learning how to blend in? I think the mission here is obvious. Watch the Danger Shop generated attendees and the Courtly Dancing class and remember the rules of disguise and taking on a character. Courtly Dancing? Your 'special accessories' are on that table" Aly pointed to a table full of weapons. "Everything else you've learned - flirting and dancing will come in handy. Those of you who were in both classes? You have a head start."

"All of you can mingle, dance, learn what you can from each other or the other attendees and generally have fun. And before you get dressed, let me just say I've enjoyed having all of you in class these workshops. If you ever want to stop by, feel free, and I hope to see all you in another class of mine sometime soon."

She offered him a cookie. "Going to talk to me?" she asked.

Cookie briberies were evil and he snagged it anyway. "Thank you," he munched on it before he asked. "What about?"

"It's the last class," she pointed out. "What are your plans for next term?"

He shrugged a shoulder and considered the cookie. "I was hoping I wouldn't have to make any."

Aly shook her head, looking amused. "Thought we'd gone beyond that," she said.

It seemed to be a very interesting cookie. "Maybe."

"Were you injured this weekend?" Aly asked, ostensibly changing the subject.

zuko wasn't sure if he liked this subject better. "No."

"Good," she said quietly.

He didn't quite agree and he broke off a piece of the cook to eat. It wasn't polite to talk with his mouth full after all.

She raised an eyebrow at him. Something was going on, and while class might not be the best place to probe, she was more than capable of outwaiting a teenager's stubbornness.

Still, it was Zuko. And she'd given him a cookie. Which was eating crumb by crumb. Beat that.

Aly continued to watch him.

The cookie was gone now and he almost felt like fidgiting. "Nice weather."

She chuckled. "Not too hot?"

"No, it's fine," he replied easily.

"Good," Aly said quietly. "I'll leave you to enjoy your last class with your friends." She paused. "You still owe me lessons, you know."

He had the decency to look embarrassed about that. "I know."

She nodded. "Good."

Zuko merely nodded, but he didn't go look for his friends. He didn't much had any so he just stayed where he was, going back to watching the students.

Aly let him brood as she went back to teaching the class.

Once it was dismissed, she realised Zuko hadn't so much as moved, and she somehow ended up by him again. "What's this about, Zuko?" she asked quietly, the concern obvious in her voice.

He had a vague idea what she was referring to, but... he didn't quite know how to answer it either. "It's the last class again."

"And I'll still miss you if it's my last class with you in it," Aly agreed quietly.

"What if it's not?" he asked her.

"I'll keep doing my best to teach you anything helpful," Aly said.
