[Ahiru floats out onto a lake in her duck form, fog swirling around her as she does. She paddles in the lake for a moment, drifting, before raising up on her webbed feet and curving her wings into the air. With the water somehow supporting her weight, she slowly began to dance by herself, every now and then looking over her shoulder as if expecting

[ Fakir wanders in, blinking in confusion at the semi-familiar foggy setting. Where was he? And why did it look like somewhere he could have sworn he had been before?

He hadn't yet noticed the little duck dancing on the lake. ]

What the...?

[sword_and_quill]

[ His brows furrow in confusion. ]

So this was... the lake you came from? And you had dreams about it? I thought it wasn't part of the story. Didn't the wall have to break down before I could get there?

[quackingly]

I think so. It's the only thing I remember from before the story, so...this must be my lake. Right?

[sword_and_quill]

[ He offers a noncommittal shrug before giving his hand in hers a tug, extending his other out behind him, and taking a step back with a measure of grace in his movement. ]

If you're dreaming about it, I suppose it must be.

[quackingly]

[She smiles, curtsying before slowly raising up onto her toes.]

Yeah. No matter whose it was before, it's mine now.

...Totally pulling this out of thin air. Bear with me. >>;

[sword_and_quill]

[ He slowly leads her out a little further onto the surface of the lake they were standing upon, lifting one arm and guiding her into a short rotation, free hand ready to support her at the waist at its completion. ]

Is it really that special to you?

Nooo problem, so am I XD

[quackingly]

[She twirls in front of him and then turns to face him, extending one of her legs behind her.]

Mmhm. It's the only home I really had before the Opera. The dorm isn't really mine, it's empty now. The only things I have in Kinkan are you and the lake.

...This does make me realize I have no dancing icons uploaded though. FAIL XD;

[sword_and_quill]

[ As she's balanced on one foot, he moves his hands to her small waist, walking around in a circular path to bring her into another slow rotation en pointe. ]

...Hn. You still miss home, don't you?

XD I don't have any duck icons or icons with Fakir...it happens.

[quackingly]

[She shakes her head, trusting in Fakir to balance her. With anyone else, she would feel nervous, but with him...]

No. You're here. There's nothing to miss.

I have 100+ icon space though. XD; I HAS NO EXCUSE. Just lazy >>;

[sword_and_quill]

[ He keeps firm support as he leads her, alert and ready to steady her if she had any trouble.

Fakir raises an eyebrow at her. ]

Weren't you just going on and on about your lake? That doesn't exist in the City.

[quackingly]

Well...yeah. But it's here in my dreams, so...and there's a nice lake in Xanadu...
