[ There is nothing weird about dancing with a really weird looking bell-like thing, right? At least, for Jasmine there isn't! This month she's involved in Dancing with the Refugees, so she's got to learn how to dance and fast. And, since she really didn't want to trouble anybody, she decided that the best way to learn is to practice, practice,

I think you're coming along really well, Jasmine!
Um... it looks like your pokemon is doing all right, but... if you like, I would be happy to help you, as much as I can? I- I took some dancing when I was little.

[orangemineral]

Y-you know how to ballroom dance...? [ u-uuu dancing with boyfriend... ]

[maple_syrup_can]

Ballroom? Well, it's been a very long time... but- I might be able to remember a bit.

[ohh, dancing with girlfriend- (♥)
France really gave Canada all the useful stuff, eh?]

[orangemineral]

... I-I would love your help, Canada.

[maple_syrup_can]

[*blush!*]

I- It will be a pleasure to help you. Where are you practising?

[orangemineral]

In the park...

-> [Action!]

[maple_syrup_can]

I'll be there in just a little while!

[Which means he's rushing over there, walking the last little bit so that he can catch his breath. He looks a little flushed as he comes up, giving a tentative (slightly nervous) wave to the pokemon and a bright smile to Jasmine.]

perma-[Action!]

[orangemineral]

[ Steelix grumbles a little in greeting and Bronzong just... floats around while Jasmine goes over and smiles brightly at him. ] H-hey.

[maple_syrup_can]

Hello!

Um, so, w-which kind of ballroom dance are you learning?

[orangemineral]

... Th-there's more than one kind...? [ oh. oh goodness. ]

[maple_syrup_can]

[*nod nod*]

I- I'm afraid so.

...Um, if you didn't have one in mind, perhaps we could start with the waltz?

[orangemineral]

Th-that works for me...

[maple_syrup_can]

O-okay. Um... [blushing, he goes to stand beside her.]
F-first, let's do the steps. Pretty much, you're making a square. Like this- [And he does the steps, saying 'one- two- three- one- two- three'...]

[orangemineral]

[ ... Ohhh. ] E-exactly like that? [ Seems easy enough... ]

[maple_syrup_can]

Y-yep, just like this. Give it a try, and keep going until you feel comfortable with it... [He'll keep doing the steps over and over so she can watch.]

[orangemineral]

[ She nods, watching for a few more moments before trying it herself. She rushes a little sometimes and goes too slow at other times, but slowly she gets the hang of it. ]
