prompt (2/5) || not accepting
With a steady pulse the music swallowed the vast space of the grand hall of the inn, drowning the empty space with its contagiously rhythmic tune, where but only one figure indulged in ceaseless dance. A common occurrence for the man to occupy the inn prior to its working hours, to devote self to the job and a process to hone own skills, which resulted in an unending line of people and three years worth of waiting for an appointment. Nevertheless, the mere fact did not evoke any particular emotions from the man, Aniyan possessed the precise comprehension of what effect his presence inflicted and acted on it, prided self of who he was and own expertise in the field of entertainment. And thus permitting self to be carried by the tune, his body masterfully followed the tempo, measured sways of the hips were complemented by the graceful waves with the hands.

Perchance a too daring gesture, yet continuous glance demanded an exquisite show, which undoubtedly abashed as the man did not hesitate with risky moves.
A smile still graced the image, when with the final swings accompanied by a twirl to face Cloud he eventually ceased the movements, one hand gracefully rested on the hips, as he beheld the other male with contentment. What an unforeseen exception, an amusing happenstance. Once sated own curiosity with savoring his altering expressions, in a low voice he uttered, eloquently and almost in a hush pronouncing the man’s name. “How did you like the performance, Cloud?” Whatever reasons guided the blond back to the inn at that time could not cancel a minor bit of indulgence he wished to pamper self with.
