Video.
[ it's a video, of bare feet on a polished wooden floor. ]
Step once to the left. Left knee up, pointed toe. Down. Dip. Skim. Skip. Feet together.
[ with each instruction they move, a step-by-step slow-motion dance, finishing in third position. River does not bother to pick up the device as she continues to talk. ]
I'll try my feet at teaching. Need partners for the waltz.
[ a real waltz, not metaphorical. for once. ]
I hope we won't allow ourselves to get complacent.
Taste the air. Positive charge on the tip of the tongue. It's coming.
