❛ We are better at this than you are. ❜ [ viren @ sarai learning how to dance Proper ]
❛ oh? then maybe you two should be the ones dancing together, not you and me. ❜ counted steps faltered when he finally speaks, gaze that was so concentrated on their feet rose to meet those of the mage’s. brows came together almost indefinitely, exasperated in viren and harrow’s pursuit of trying to teach this warrior to dance. ( to dance properly, as a queen should — )❛ how do you even expect me to learn this? there’s too many steps. ❜ she finally breaks free of his grip, rubbing hands together and ultimately allowed shoulders to slump. her choreographies usually consisted of a spear in her hand, not a grace of a man’s hand in her own and against her waist.
after her moment’s reprieve, sarai gives a deep, ill-composed sigh.❛ alright, let’s go again — though i won’t apologize for stepping on your feet again, you signed up for that when you asked me to dance. ❜ she takes viren’s offered hand, clearing head when a hand comes to rest cordially at her waist.❛ when you told me you were going to teach me to dance, i assumed i’d be dancing with harrow, ❜ the queen teases, basking in any fluster she might gain,❛ i bet he just doesn’t want to sacrifice his toes to my heels. ❜ which was another thing. not only did she have to dance, but she had to do so in heels — if only amaya could see her now. ❛ i still say it’d be much easier for the two of you to dance together, since you both already know how to dance. you don’t know how much i’d pay to see that. ❜
