[Well, this is embarrassing.  Despite what a certain Falenan knight told a certain tactician at homecoming - no, Lyon never had any formal training in how to dance, and it is not at all like the footwork involved in swordplay.  She did manage to get a bit of dancing in with the Prince, but took a rather unfortunate spill a few songs in and twisted

[That limp is definitely noticeable there...]

What happened to your leg? Did you hurt it?

[float_like_a]

Oh, Viki!

[Lyon frowns a little.]

I twisted my ankle at the dance.

[waffuport]

What, what, really? Are you okay? Does it hurt??

[Attempting to inspect it!]

[float_like_a]

[Yeah, there's still swelling there - enough that she definitely shouldn't be walking around on it.]

It still hurts, but I think it's getting better.

[waffuport]

[Ooh that doesn't look so good.]

Don't you think you should rest it though? It looks kind of...puffy.

[float_like_a]

I'm sure it'll be fine. The swelling's already gone down quite a bit since Saturday.

[And this is the perfect way to ensure that it doesn't go down any further, Lyon.]

[waffuport]

Well that's good...personally I'd wait until the swelling was gone completely, though.

[float_like_a]

Well, I had to come to school today or risk getting droned.

[waffuport]

Oh! I'm glad you didn't get droned, that wouldn't be very fun. You've gotta rest up tomorrow though! Or else you'll end up like Sir Mathiu. [That isn't quite the same....]

[float_like_a]

But I'll fall behind in all my classes if I do that.

[waffuport]

Oh, that's true.....

[float_like_a]

I think it'll probably be all right in a few days if I'm careful about it.

[Careful like she isn't being.]

[waffuport]

That's good! Just keep being careful.

[A pause.]

...Are you being careful?

[float_like_a]

Well, I'm trying to be.

[waffuport]

As long as you're trying!

[float_like_a]

Right! I can't stay like this for too long. I have to protect the Prince, after all.
