Twenty-Six (Action)

[raven_daughter]

[It's another beautiful work day at the Factory! Rue here has been assigned to De-Clog the Beet Shredder, and has been at work every day to avoid droning/re-education. As such, she is usually covered in a mix of beet juice and blood, her fingers and arms getting scarred. She doesn't complain, she keeps to herself, just waiting for this whole 'event

[never_any_doubt]

[Aw. Sweet. Too bad Spy is having too much fun being an Informant dick to pause and let her have her fun.]

You, girl! What are you doing?

[raven_daughter]

[Still at it.]

[Speaks softly.]

Dancing.

Just... for a little while.

[weiss_tank]

[Ken may be covered in dirt, and he may not understand the language of dance, but he does understand the need for beauty of movement. He watches her quietly for a moment, leaning against a nearby wall.]

[raven_daughter]

[Audience or not, she continues. Desperately. She may be crying.]

[weiss_tank]

[Hm, now may be a good time to interrupt]

Hey now, are you alright miss?

[raven_daughter]

[She continues, even as she's talked to.]

Just... a little longer. Please.

[You have Hughes sitting there watching you as well. He's in pretty poor condition--his stumped forearm was paining him recently, but more than that he was forcing himself to work as hard as possible. That combined with a general lack of food made it hard to even see straight anymore.

And, well, he was too tired to even stand up and go home.

So he'll sit nearby and enjoy your dance.]

You're--[There's a stutter in his words as he grins.]--you're very good.

[raven_daughter]

[She doesn't stop... but there is gratitude. Tears roll down her dirty cheeks.

As she moves, slowly spinning, she mouths. 'Thank you']

[best_papa_evar]

[And you get a soft smile from the local papa bear.]

[raven_daughter]

[There is a little smile right back at you. She's exhausted, but she'll keep at it, probably until either someone stops her or she collapses.]

[relaxiamadoctor]

[Continues herding cows to the back of the factory. The cows take brief notice of the dance before Fran ushers them onwards]

[raven_daughter]

[A... brief pause, cause wtf cows? But, doesn't entirely stops, and keeps moving.]
