*leans forward, her little elbows on the table*

Oh, there are so many children here. Wouldn't someone like to tell us a story? And all of you children, I know you're out there, wouldn't you like to hear a story? Something fantastical--!

Ohhh, might it be a story about the Devil?

[onlyachild]

It might be. I wonder if anyone knows any of those.

[the_elfchild]

*beams* I think my mother does! She can tell us all about dancing with him!

[onlyachild]

Dancing is so lovely! Is your mother here?

[the_elfchild]

Yes, she is! And perhaps she and the Devil will dance for us!

[onlyachild]

I imagine the Devil would be a very fine dancer.

[the_elfchild]

Oh, yes indeed! I wish that I could dance with him.

[onlyachild]

Have you ever asked? Mr. Lucifer is very kind.

[the_elfchild]

Do you suppose that I could?

[onlyachild]

I don't know if he would tell you yes or not, but I do doubt that he would take your asking very unkindly.

[the_elfchild]

*beams* Then I think that I shall ask him! And perhaps he will dance with me, since he has danced with my mother!
