[Aureln might not be recognisable at first. All that can be seen are her ears and a fall of loose blonde hair, for her head is currently hidden in her arms. Her shoulders are shaking - she is, in fact, giggling. It takes a few moments of this before she manages to straighten up, but the effect of her appearance is rather different than it usually

Dancing? That sounds wonderful! [ Yes, shy as she is without alcohol in her system, this is something she has no problems with doing now that she opened that lovely red egg. ] It just so happens I learned a few new things from Myr just the other day!

[bloodforlight]

[An airy laugh, but it lacks the usual venom.] Night Elves, Night Elves - they know little of good dancing. Come dance with me!

[steel_cyclone]

is that so? [ She grins a little. ] I haven't even said anything of the dances from my own world, nor did I know you were even the sort. [ And though she would normally keep something like this to herself, Cid feels no qualms today with being quite honest. ] You didn't strike me as the type.

[bloodforlight]

Ah - [Her mirth falters in the face of a wistful sigh.] - it has been a very long time since I had good cause. [And then she smiles again, bright and fair and a little sad.] But the spring is beautiful, and the sun is shining! Why not take the chance for what it is?

[What....what is going on...]

A.....Aureln?! What...what did you eat...?

[Maybe she got into Duib's drugs?]

[bloodforlight]

Eat? Nothing, yet!

[breakin_ur_lore]

[Awkward...]

You're....acting a little...weird.

[bloodforlight]

Weird! How rude of you to say. [She chuckles, shaking her head.] It's good to just be happy sometimes.

[In contrast, Jr. has been hit with a double combo of tranquility from the effects of the crystal hanging around his neck and the purple egg he found in his croft. He is settled somewhere at the base of a tree, his eyes closed despite the feed running.]

You want a tune to dance to?

[Still without opening his eyes, and with an easy smile tugging at his lips, he pulls out his harmonica and displays it before the communicator in his lap.]

[bloodforlight]

[She smiles warmly, nodding. The instrument is a little odd, but that doesn't stop her from giving a gleeful clap of her hands.]

That would be wonderful, and much appreciated.

[gunsablazing]

[Jr. simply nods and brings the harmonica to his lips. The tune might be much different from what Aureln is used to, but it is lively and cheerful.]

[bloodforlight]

[She listens for a moment, as if rapt by the simple tune. Different, yes, but she always liked learning new things, always liked it when Humans and Dwarves came from the south to visit their golden home -- she rises nimbly to her feet again, and begins to dance.]

[andallforone]

Heh, Aureln, you're in a pretty good mood, huh?

[Yosuke gives a dreamy sort of sigh.]

Did you see him, then?

voice;

[bloodforlight]

Him? [Her tone is light, teasing.] Is that what you're so dreamy about?

[anearlmustmarry]

What. What. Why are you dancing like an uncouth barbarian?!

[Lloyd runs up to her and shakes a finger at her. Or at least, two inches to the left of her face.]

No. No. I've been to dances. You should be doing it more like this.

[He seizes her around the waist, puts one of her hands on his shoulder and scoops up the other in his, and drags her into a waltz.]

[bloodforlight]

[She is too flabbergasted to stop him - she is spun into the change of dance with an inelegant yelp, and glowers at him. But it's short-lived. Dancing with a partner is vastly preferable to dancing alone, after all, so she allows him to lead.

For now.]
