I'd ask if you were any good at dancin', but I think I already have a TA for that.

'Course, if you are, you're more than welcome t'join us. We're... a l'il short on men anyways, so th'more help, th'bettah!

[Eeesh. Dancing. He'd rather avoid that.]

I don't think you want to see me dance. If anything, I'd be a hindrance to your teaching.

Wait. There's another TA?

[And he thought he was special.]

[video]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Well, then you could come t'learn. Everyone should know th'basics of partnah dancin'.

Two, actually. Sinbad and Tulio; th'formah is my TA.

[Poor, unspeshul notsnowflake.]

[Just gonna casually dismiss that dancing part.]

Then I guess I should become acquainted with them, just as soon as I get my bearings.

And who, may I ask, are you?

[video]

[tiatiatiatiatia]

[For now, Dimitri. For now.]

They're nice fellahs, I'm sure you wont have a problem gettin' along with them.

Oh, how rude of me! I'm Charlotte La Bouff. It's a pleasure t'meet you, Dimitri.

[video]

[openedthewall]

All mine.

La Bouff? [Cranes neck.] You wouldn't happen to be French, would you?

[tiatiatiatiatia]

My ancestahs were, but I'm N'ahlanais.

[openedthewall]

Oh, you mean America?

[Even more intrigued.]

[video] IS AMERICA EVEN ON OUR MAP? oh well, is now.

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Yep; th'southern tip. You evah been?

[video] america should BE the map!

[openedthewall]

No, no. Never had the opportunity.

But I'd love to go there some day. Soon, hopefully.

[video] No, no, you see... it's not on the map because the map IS the Rhode Island of america.

[tiatiatiatiatia]

Well, I highly reccomend N'ahlans. Th'people are friendly, th'food is wondahful, the people are colahful, and there's always music and dancin' goin' on somewhere. It a real upbeat sort of place, with festivals and parades throughout th'year. [Siiigh. Someone misses New Orleans, can you tell?]

Try t'go durin' Mardi Gras, if you get a chance. That's one of th'biggest celebrations we throw.
