Life at Court, Friday, 5/18

It was not Tyrion at the front of the class today, but two wolves and an assassin.

Weren't they lucky students?

"The Professor," Firekeeper said, "have been stuck elsewhere. So today, you get us."

"No matter the world, or the court," Surreal supplied, "One thing will always remain constant: at some point, you will be expected to dance."

"She speak truth," Firekeeper said with a nod. "So today, we are going to teach you a simple spring festival dance." ...For varying definitions of ‘simple’, of course. "Outside."

"Which means, of course, out of your seats," Surreal prodded, starting to usher people towards the door. "Layabouts."

It was how she showed affection. Really.

Once they were outside, the students would see a large, thin tree that the girls had co-opted into their temporary maypole, having tied long ribbons on to a wreath which Surreal had placed up at its crown.

"It is spring," Firekeeper announced. "And in one of the kingdoms of my world, this mean it is time for the Rabbit Moon dance. Lucky for you, is very close in form to a dance from this world called ‘Maypole’. So, we shall do that." She picked up a ribbon, while Blind Seer grasped another in his jaws. And gave the class a look that just dared anyone to laugh.

"We have a similar one, in Hayll," Surreal shared, going over to poke at the little CD player. "It's not hard - the goal is to weave it around the tree. Over, under, over... until it's all tied up." Or until your classmates were.

Once the music started, Firekeeper and Blind Seer (well, mostly Firekeeper, Blind Seer’s legs weren’t exactly designed for human dances) demonstrated the appropriate dance steps as well as the technique for weaving the ribbons together. Once they were satisfied that the students understood the steps, they dropped the ribbons and gestured for the class to come take over.

With Bran as Marrock, they'd done maypoles dances not too unlike these back in Aspen Creek, so this wasn't too difficult for Mercy.

She laughed as the music speeded up, enjoying the dance, hoping that if she landed on Blind Seer that he'd forgive her.
