White Heron Cup- Round 3!
Style: 7 Choreography: 6 Technique: 1
Rhys had to admit, all of the physical activity was getting to be a little draining. He loved every moment dancing with Ranulf, but there was only so much he could take. The mounting excitement of the evening had left him tired as well.
He did his best, though. They opened as they had before, stylish and in sync, the previous performances a good template to follow and expand upon. However, Rhys’s feet couldn’t quite keep up with his spirit, and he got himself tangled up in his own steps once or twice. Worse was when, after doing a spin, he nearly tripped over Ranulf’s tail.
“Sorry!” he whispered under his breath, lurching and squeezing Ranulf’s hand in his to brace himself and offer a silent apology too, gingerly taking a moment and stepping out of the loop of his blue tail. There was no way the judges hadn’t seen that, and also no way it looked like it was on purpose.
Rhys was breathing harder than he’d expected by the end of it, but he was still grateful to be a part of something like this, and proud of Ranulf in particular. “You’re a natural at this— really. Thanks for having me.”

As the competition was turning fierce, it became clearer they didn’t live up to the standards set before them, though they didn’t care much. Going out again and again, they danced and swirled, occasionally stepping on each other’s feet or getting out of rhythm, but regardless remained one of the favourites of the crowd.
Until they weren’t.
It all happened in a moment’s length: the boot connecting, the sharp inhale and the tail’s twitch, resulting in the priest falling over. Yep, that’s that. At least they both were fine and nothing seemed broken.
“It’s.. fine,” he replied. “All good. And you’re not any worse at this than I am, thanks for keeping me in check where you could, and for leading the way.”
A mischievous smile. “Guess manners dictate I should do this, huh?” with that, he raised Rhy’s hand up and kissed it. “Thank you for this, Rhys.”
@ladybcrd @amicitium - you’re next!
