Any dance/ALL THE PARTNERS!!!!

[allthesame2me]

Alex is not one to miss out on festivities if at all possible, and the dance lessons are no different! He made his way to bower as instructed, gaze sweepin around the room at those already there. He had dressed for dancing, both his pants and shirt a light gauzy material. His shirt opens nearly to his navel, but there is not an ounce of self-consciousness in his barefooted form.

Spying an unoccupied Keepite after watching the dances for a time, the shifter moves in and takes their arm, pulling them into the closest dance group near them with a laugh.

/SUBTLY INTRODUCES THESE TWO

[lightyourway]

Kairi is not the first person Alex dances with. Nor is she second. In fact, she has been so caught up in the energy of the dances and dancing among and around all the people she knows, that she's at once surprised and a little taken aback to find herself suddenly opposite someone she doesn't know.

Or does she?

"Oh, hello." Skip right, wait for the others to catch up.

"I'm Kairi," Be ready for the turn, "Have we met before?"

She's been here a few months and she can't even remember everyone she's met and spoken too.

That's probably why things like this are a good thing.

Alex snags Kairi with the ease of someone that might have danced these dances a lot, even though he's only been at it for a short time now; since Isabella started the lessons, actually. They had similar things such as this at the renaissance faires back home, but actually living it was a whole new thing.

He moves lightly across the floor with Kairi, prepared for the turn when it comes and smiles warmly at his newest partner.

"Hi," he shines that winning smile her way. "I think we've bumped into each other a time or two, but I'm Alex for the sake of debate."

Because, seriously, they had a lot of people here and no matter how on top of it Alex tried to stay there was always the chance he'd missed someone.

All the same, he doesn't seem bothered in the slightest to be guiding around the unfamiliar girl.

HI I'M LATE!

[lightyourway]

He's good. Kairi had fallen into the more energetic dance style easier than she had a formal waltz, but she still had more enthusiasm than skill.

Alex? Alex was really good. Or at least, she thought so.

"Okay, Alex. Heh, have you done this before?" If they danced like this on his world, then of course he'd be good.

Surprised for a moment, Nieta's shock disappears when she sees it is Alex who has taken her arm. His laughter is catching and without thinking, she is laughing too and falling into the steps of the dance.

"You are having fun, Alex?" As though she needed to ask. She could see it in his face. "Your shirt is nice."

Forward right, forward left, turn...

No really, it is a very nice shirt. She wonders if he made it himself.

[allthesame2me]

Alex follows the steps, falling into the repetitive rhythm with the ease of someone that loves dancing. Being stiff made dancing all the more difficult to enjoy not just for oneself, but also for whoever they partnered with

ALSO THE LATE

[vivenieta]

"There are two things that we have always; alcohol and time." She says it with a smile, but it is at least a little bitter-sweet.

"I am glad you have found something that you like to do. It is how most of us get our jobs." Joe and his cooking, her and her dogs, "People who do not, need to find other ways to entertain themselves."

Though to her, dancing has always been one of the better ways to pass time. If she had been anywhere else then she might have sounded sad. Here, a smile lighting her face while she keeps in step to a beat, Nieta is only happy.
