Let's talk of something of great social and cultural import. Dancing. Dance, along with writing, music, and physical exercise, was basic to the education system and I cannot extol enough its virtues as a means of cultivating both body and, if you're into such concepts, soul. So important, in fact, is dancing, that in Arcadia-- a place where I spent

Why don't I think you're talking about dancing?

[winewomenand]

I am talking about dancing. Of course, if I happen to be so overwhelmingly impressive at it that my dance partner feels the need to screw me after the lesson, I can't be held responsible. My life is hard.

[witchinbloom]

Sounds terrible.

[winewomenand]

Absolutely. All I do is give, give, give. But if you're interested, I would have no compulsions against giving a little more for you.

[countermission]

There must be a great deal of uneducated and unrefined men if dance is the sole standard place upon them.

[winewomenand]

More than you will ever know. Then again, creatures as a whole tend to be a group of unappreciative dullards.

[countermission]

Where does that leave a cultured and learned man such as yourself?

[winewomenand]

At the top of the mountain, as per usual.

[playstheblues]

Cultivating mind and spirit sounds like fun to me.

[winewomenand]

Because you're a clever and enthusiastic young pup with his head in most of the right places.

[playstheblues]

Are there a lot of wrong places for my head?

[winewomenand]

There are a lot of better places I can think for your head.

[justashow]

I went to Cotillion. I already know how to dance.

[winewomenand]

Show me.

[justashow]

The waltz?

[winewomenand]

Why not. I can do one of those as well as the next man. They're just not something I find particular fun in.

[had_not_lived]

Are you entering Blue's contest?

[winewomenand]

I've decided not to enter, on account that it would be so absolutely, tragically unfair for everyone else involved that it would suck all of the pleasure out of winning. Well, not all of it. But enough.

I will be dancing for pleasure and exhibition, however.

[had_not_lived]

Well, then, you and I aren't in competition.

[winewomenand]

That doesn't mean you can't still dance with me.
