[ Continued from here!]

I wouldn't be what you would call graceful though, even though I've been told I don't have enough meat on my bones.

[Jonah always did say she was too skinny at times]

[missthewoman]

[An appraising look-]

Whomever told you that is quite right- you need to eat better. A healthy weight helps you fight disease and a square diet ensures you have energy through the day.

[The serious message delivered, her smile returns.]

And gracefulness has little to do with body type.

Re: Ballroom Floor

[lotusrebel]

Mm. Well, maybe I'll get more carbohydrates in my diet somewhere, but then again I'm always eating rice.

In any case, you look nice tonight.

Re: Ballroom Floor

[missthewoman]

Thank you. I admit, I put in a particular effort.

[The effort being that this sort of dress felt more like a nightgown. However, there was no denying that not only was it at the height of the Thorian (as opposed to Victorian) fashion, but it looked quite stunning on her.]

And although not in a gown, you look quite dapper this evening, Lien.

Re: Ballroom Floor

[lotusrebel]

A bit different from Victorian times hm? But as it's been said in my era, 'if you got it, work it.'

Huh. 'Dapper' isn't quite the word I would come to expect when describing this, but it does fit.

Re: Ballroom Floor

[missthewoman]

[She chuckles at 'if you got it, work it.' It's not too difficult to glean her meaning.]

It does at that. But rather than discuss semantics, perhaps you would rather join me in a dance?
[She is quite serious, bowing slightly and offering her hand.]

Re: Ballroom Floor

[lotusrebel]

[She raises an eyebrow]

Are you going to lead? Probably better since you're a bit taller.

Re: Ballroom Floor

[missthewoman]

Certainly. I'm quite capable to.

[Hand still upraised~]

Re: Ballroom Floor

[lotusrebel]

[Lien puffs up her cheeks, deliberating for a bit before accepting the hand if not a bit gingerly]

Well, why not?

the most late~ I thank Christmas.

[missthewoman]

Indeed. No reason not to when it is all in good fun.

[Irene takes Lien confidently out onto the dance floor, moderating her steps until she gets a feel for how well the girl can dance.]

[lotusrebel]

[She's a bit unsteady at first, but seems to get the hang of. Rather quickly too]

Hey, is Holmes here too? Why don't you dance with him or have you already?

[missthewoman]

[Quite the quick study she has on her hands. Irene starts raising the difficulty of the steps.
With a slight eyeroll (what makes Lien also think that she would rather be with him?) she answers,]

I am told that he is at the bar, and should the trouble of uprooting him be worth it, I may dance with him later.

[lotusrebel]

[... No, she still seems to be keeping up! Odd really, it's as if she could tell Irene was upping the difficulty]

I think you should just go for it!

[missthewoman]

[This is a social dance, not a competition, but Irene can't help but continue making more challenging steps, testing how skilled the girl is.]

You do. And what makes you say that?

[lotusrebel]

[It's hard to judge her skill really, because she somehow manages to always follow up each and every time]

Just because! That and I kind of wonder what he'd look like dancing. I can't really picture it in my head somehow.

[missthewoman]

[...]

I cannot fault you for being unable to imagine it, despite your considerable imagination. He does seem quite unlikely to be a good dancer, doesn't he.

[She ceases making the steps more difficult. This was sufficient.]

And speaking of, I admit that you are not at all dancing like I pictured you would.
