[The crack of lightening.

The boom of thunder.

The scattered tap-tap of a first few cold raindrops turning into a chorus of sound, and then a cacophony.

Vision reduced to a few feet of moving, pounding sheets of grey.

The first breath of spring is drawing near, boys and girls.

But with it comes the rain.]

I'm singing~ In the rain~!

[princessisyou]

That's right. Though I wouldn't mind knowing who you are either.

[wingsinthedust]

I am called Mytho. And I do not think I am impulsive, I dance where it is dry usually. So no one falls...

[princessisyou]

I'm Anya, pleased to meet you. And that's very pragmatic of you... but there's nothing wrong with a bit of light dancing for fun, is there?

[wingsinthedust]

And you as well, Anya.

No, there is nothing wrong with it. It is only that I dance every day and the weather never made a difference, so to see you singing and dancing made it look as if it were important.

[princessisyou]

You're a professional? And... I guess in way it is.

[wingsinthedust]

I am a ballet student. There are four of us from the Gold Crown Academy here.

Why? Is it a tradition? There is one night each year people dance around a fire for a festival, but they do not do it aside from that one time...

[princessisyou]

That's impressive. I've been to a ballet performed by the Russian ballet before; it was Cinderlla.

And.... no, just expressing myself and my feelings! If that makes sense.

[wingsinthedust]

Prokofiev's, yes?

It makes sense. Dancing is how many people express things they don't know how to put into words...

[princessisyou]

That's right. Of course you must have studied it...

Which is why it's important, even if you do practice dance everyday... right?

[wingsinthedust]

Yes, although not in the Russian style.

*looks to be thinking on it* Yes, but I dance whether or not is raining. Or sunny. Or cloudy. It's not like your dancing. Or the small animals'...

[princessisyou]

Isn't that because you need to practice though? The feeling of wanting to get better should be incentive enough.

[wingsinthedust]

I've always danced, before I felt anything about it. But putting feeling into my dance has improved, so you are right.

[princessisyou]

Dancing without feeling... that sounds pretty sad.

[wingsinthedust]

I have been told it looks sad. Different from the sadness people mean to show.

*ponders for a moment* There is less twirling, I think.

[princessisyou]

Definitely less twirling. And... uh, sorry if this is too forward, but I need to ask. Do you have...trouble with emotions?
