*Somewhere in the main room of the Mansion, a beautiful girl is dancing. Her grace is remarkable, and her dancing is beautiful, but both those qualities are slightly dminished by the faintest wince whenever she puts her weight on her left foot. But most people would hardly notice that, for it is difficult not to be entranced by her dancing. In one

Jackrabbit loves dancing. He plops down, legs crossed, to watch the show.

*She is delighted to have an audience, and so calls out to her goat* Djali, what day of the month is it? *And the goat taps on the ground three times. During this, Esmeralda does not stop dancing*

[cat_inthe_sun]

He grins gleefully, claps. Oh, this is fun!

[gypsysorceress]

*Encouraged, she stops dancing for a moment and asks her single audience member,* What is your name?

Ever the doctor, Henry notices immediately the wince and studies her movements carefully before realizing the problem must stem from her foot. He is entranced indeed, for the girl is beautiful and a wonderful dancer, but his professionalism, as usual, wins through.

"Miss. You oughtn't dance on a bad foot."

[gypsysorceress]

But, Sir, I must dance. I am a dancer.

[drhjekyll]

"And very good at your art, but you won't be dancing for long if you keep up like this. You'll hurt your ankle beyond repair, and then where would you be?" Henry points out.

"I am a doctor. Would you let me look at it?"

[gypsysorceress]

*she stops dancing to listen, and she starts to seem worried. But she remains hesitant* You won't...hurt it more or not let me dance anymore?

Gringoire was working in the library, but the sound of the tambourine draws him out. When he enters the main room and sees her, he stops dead in his tracks. "La Esmeralda? Djali? Am I dreaming?"

[gypsysorceress]

*she stops dancing to greet him, which Pierre should take as a compliment* Pierre! My brother!

[theblondgypsy]

*Once the shock has worn off, he realizes he's genuinely happy to see her* La Esmeralda! My dear girl! How are you?

[gypsysorceress]

I'm alive, and free. If Phoebus was here, then I would truly be well.

*oooh, dancing :D* *stops to watch, facinated*

Addie has a penchant for sheep and goats and the like. Hence, she is drawn towards the pretty little goat prancing about.

"Hallo, miss! What a fantastic little goat you have there! What's it's name?"

[gypsysorceress]

Her name is Djali. She's my sister.

[sheep_wilkinson]

"Djali! What a pretty name! My name is Addie. Well, actually my real name is Honoria, but I would prefer Addie, or Adopta." She smiles and continues to watch both Esmeralda and Djali. "You are such a fantastic dancer, miss!"
