Practical Diplomacy, Friday, January 11, 2019

[sith_happened]

"Another peril of diplomatic life is having to attend local cultural events and pretending to be impressed," Anakin shouted over the sound of drums and some sort of weird horn thing that was being played with great enthusiasm and very little skill by the troupe dressed up in some form of local attire in the Danger Shop behind him. "Today I have five different scenarios that you will have to work through while maintaining a proper diplomatic expression--not laughing, not saying 'ew', and not saying no to any of the weird requests they will make of you."

The drummers behind him got even louder. You lucky, lucky students.

Breq smiled at Sidon, as she joined him with a drum.

"I'm not sure I'd manage that dance very well," she said.

Sidon grinned back, as energetic as his drumming, as he raised his voice a little over the booming of the band to respond. "I feel much the same!" he agreed. "I'd rather leave that to those a bit more capable," Vette, perhaps, though he was trying to be good about noticing too much, ahem, "though I think you'd rather be better at it than I, Breq. Unless we were to move this performance to the water, but that would be quite different, I should say."

"Possibly." Breq smiled. "But not like Vette." She looked in her direction. "I admit I'd like to see you dance in water though."
