[he's using their points of contact to pay attention to her movements and match her rhythm]

There you go! You got it.

It's not so bad, actually...

[ she looks a little surprised at herself, and her posture starts to relax ]

Yeah!

I think dancing is one of those things you can build upon to make it as difficult as you like, but at its foundation, it's pretty simple.

I suppose—[ one, two, three, four ]—it's not so different from most other skills, that way. It's not even that far off of sparring, except it's working together, rather than competitive...

I'm not sure I'll ever be at Persephone's level, though, ahaha.

I don't know if any of us ever could be. He said it was his profession back home -- dancing to appease a god with very high standards. Being good is probably not optional, at that point.

...ah, it's true. Especially when it can mean plenty or famine. That's a lot to have people depending on you for.

Yeah. Sounds like a lot of pressure.

I'm sure dancing for us is probably a lot easier by comparison.

I'm sure it is. And—

[ a brief pause as she gets off time and scrambles to get back on the beat again: ]

—it's... fun? [ she sounds genuinely surprised to be saying that. ] to do something that doesn't really matter.

It is!

I think it's good to do stuff like this sometimes. It's restorative... like life feels a little easier afterward. You know?

[ she has never relaxed in her entire life ]

Well—I think I'm starting to, anyway.

[a goal to work toward, then!]

Then I hope you get a lot more opportunities to do stuff that brings you happiness.

Ah—me too. For you, I mean.

Here's to new changes, in this strange place, I guess.

Yes! Let's make the most of it.
