[ When the feed comes on, Ahiru is shown in view of the device, in the apartment she shares with her partner. Though she's facing the camera, her eyes are closed and she has one hand on the back of a chair, the other arced into the air above her head. She's wearing a white leotard and one foot is poised to her leg, making a figure-four-like shape

Dancing...? [She looks curious]

Video

[wings_of_hope]

Yup!

[ She does another change in position with her leg as she speaks. ]

Have you ever danced before?

[She went to a club once and stood against a wall. And then people got shot.

...She shakes her head, quietly watching her as she moves, curious]

Well, ballet has all kinds of forms and stuff and it's supposed to be graceful and flowing when you do it...

[ Obviously, she kind of fails at that part of it. ]

But you can dance any way you want to, really. It's a good way to express yourself and have fun!

[wiredgod]

Oh? It looks hard...

[Awkward awkward; she looks a little embarrassed] I don't think I can dance...

[wings_of_hope]

It takes practice, yeah...

[ She chuckles a little, one hand behind her head. ]

I think everyone can dance, though! I'm not very good at it, but I like it! And I want to get better, so--ooohhh--!?

[ Leaning too much on the chair seems to have been a bad idea, and down she goes in a heap.

She gets up easily enough, though, rubbing at her arm. ]

...I need to work on my balance a lot, still.

[wiredgod]

Uh! [dskjhglajdhgal she sits up and leans in a little to the communicator, concerned]

A-are you alright...?

Video

[wings_of_hope]

[ She waves her hands in front of her. ]

Oh--I'm fine! I'm okay! Really! I kinda do that a lot...

Video

[wiredgod]

You should-- [probably find a way to get balance] ...put some ice on that, or something...?

Video

[wings_of_hope]

Ahhh... I'm really okay! I promise!

[ She flashes a reassuring smile. ]

Do you think you would be interested in dancing?

Video

[wiredgod]

[The smiles makes her smile back, a little hesitantly]

I'm not sure. Maybe? I don't know if I'd be any good...

Video

[wings_of_hope]

[ Yay, smiles! Hers widens. ]

It's okay! It's more for the fun and the exercise. There's no ballet classes here, so you can dance however you feel comfortable with it.

I'm the worst in my class, back home, but I still love dancing!

[wiredgod]

I guess so. I guess I wouldn't mind, if you don't...

[She would make a really awfully blunt comment here, but being around humans this long has taught her it's best to keep some thoughts to herself] I'm sure you'll get really good some day.

I don't really have any talents except for computers.

Video

[wings_of_hope]

I don't mind at all! Dancing is more fun with more people!

[ Her grin turns a little sheepish. ]

Ah... well, I hope so!

[ She blinks at the semi-unfamiliar term. ]

Com-pyoot-ers? You mean like these things we use to talk with? We don't have them in my world. They look really complex!

[wiredgod]

[The look on her face can only be described as a surprised/mildly horrified, 'you poor child!']

Er-- Yeah. I can make them, and fix electronics and stuff.

It's a little hard, but... for me it's easy? I can teach you some things, if you want...?
