WHO: Alexandrie, Bastien, Byerly, and their captive audience
WHAT: Mandatory etiquette and dance lessons
WHEN: Justinian 15, 9:45
WHERE: The Gallows
NOTES: See the OOC post and IC announcement for more information! If you didn't sign up, you can still participate in Parts A and D, and just handwave the other two, without needing to sign up or get an assignment. If you want to do B and C, you can find your own dance partner/seating group OOC, or you can sign up now and we'll dole out new assignments if we get enough latecomers to do so. If you signed up and are missing from the lists when you shouldn't be, I'm sorry and please tell me!

"Oh, a new low to fear. I'll keep that in mind." Inessa becomes even more careful during their dance, determined to take up less and less space for other dancers. Her only hope if the worst happens is that she's small and will be easily trampled, if that's the case.

Mention of the 'Deep Road Rovers' as an alternative name gets a soft snort out of her, which she tries to stifle before their strict teachers can overhear. "You have a good point; we're still the Grey Wardens, above all else. Anything else shouldn't matter to us nearly as much. It's easier to keep in mind the less we are in Kirkwall...."

Yes, the thought of Inessa knocking over others is a comical one, which is of course why he'd suggested it. Kain keeps up the pace of the music, barely having to think about it himself, more conscious of Inessa and helping her to be at ease as much as possible. "You're doing just fine... better than fine, in fact." He smiles at her. "You're blending right in, if that helps." Since the fear here is undoubtedly about sticking out too much.

"And yes... we'll always be what we are, no matter what. With the same responsibilities to shoulder. You're right, though... it truly is something we ought to remind ourselves of, once in a while. More missions away will be a good thing for us, I'm sure."
