Hidden Eternity's Two Wings

[failedrescue]

[Up for leveling up in a grassy field? So was Asad, especially since training hard is also a requirement for a soldier even if he was stuck here.

Though he couldn't quite say the same about dancing, which is what he was attempting now. Dancing. In the middle of a field. It was sad how he keeps messing up before he could actually finish a spell against the monster though.

It takes him two more tries before he finally gets it though, just narrowly avoiding getting attacked by his target.] Gan Bolg!

[Not that it was much help. He lets out a frustrated sound at that and proceeds to just hit him with his fan, folding it close and whacking it until it disappears.

Right, that was yet another embarrassing experience.]

All right. Let's try this again! Perhaps I should start with my left this time.

[Hopefully, no one witnessed his less than impressive moves.]

[oops too late. someone's in the field too, and he definitely saw those moves.]

You should definitely move your hips more.

[failedrescue]

[dskjhfkjsd brb tripping at the sound of his voice.]

Did--- How long have you been standing there?!

[lookslikemomo]

Long enough to watch you Dance! [he flashes Asad with a V-sign.] Is this your first time Dancing?

[failedrescue]

I only noticed recently that I seem to have acquired skills that I have not seen before, though the moves to initiate them are not ones I am familiar with. [Well, might as well tell the truth.] Perhaps I should train harder for this.

[lookslikemomo]

That's one way of getting the hang of it. But if you want, I could teach you! [can't let a fellow Macabre Dancer struggle after all!]

[failedrescue]

[... Well now, that is a good twist of luck.] Are you certain? I do not wish to be any trouble!

[lookslikemomo]

Nah! When I first came here, a Macabre Dancer also taught me the basics. I guess I'm just following in his steps.

[and then a sheepish smile-] Also, payback for dragging you around Mac Anu that time. I still feel silly for thinking you were talking about a quest, haha!

[doggedness]

... [Roberto's probably.

The last person you wanted for an audience, Asad.

But here he is. Staring. No words need to be said to describe this look, the look speaks for itself.]

[failedrescue]

[Asad freezes in mid-spin when he finally notices Roberto, the balance on one foot bad enough that he ends up squawking and toppling backwards, landing hard on his behind and letting out a hiss at the impact.

Ow.] R-roberto, when did you get here?!

[doggedness]

[Roberto just kind of eyes him for a few moments...]

A few minutes ago. [...] What are you even doing?

[failedrescue]

This is--- [S-so embarrassing.] I was merely... practicing.

It's a skill set! A skill set!

[doggedness]

—a skill set. Right.

[Roberto totally believes you, Asad!]

Well, don't let me interrupt your... [...] "Practising".

[failedrescue]

I am not lying! [He nearly whines, though not quite yet.] It really is a skill set of this class.

[shininghero]

[And here is a protag trying his best not to make a sound as he stifles his laughter from behind the poor Macabre Dancer.

It's not quite working.]

[failedrescue]

[The sound catches his attention long enough for him to be on guard, fan snapping open as he turned towards his direction. He blinks though when he realizes that wasn't quite a monster, far from it.

... Was he snickeri--- Oh gods.] You-- I--- How much did you see?

yay for grammatical errors

[shininghero]

[Still kind of laughing, but he'll try to answer Asad.]

You need some dance lessons.

yay for the edit button too \o/

[failedrescue]

I--- I had not been aware that someone was watching. I apologize for the embarrassing display you have witnessed.

\o\

[shininghero]

I've seen worse, don't worry.

[failedrescue]

[He looks disgruntled at that for a moment, before he shakes his head and offers a meek smile.] I suppose it could have been worse.

It is the first time I have every had to dance for a skill to work. I had not thought it would be that difficult.

[tank_sniper]

[...Well darn. She was hoping to have an entire field to clear on her own.

...Though that's a pretty interesting dance he's got going, so she'll take a break and lean against a tree to watch.]

[failedrescue]

[As long as she doesn't bug him, he will continue practicing, pausing only when he finally, finally notices her---

---and freezes. Oh. Crap.]

[tank_sniper]

[Her lip is curled ever so slightly upwards. If she didn't have such self-control, she would probably be laughing right about now.]

Having trouble?

[failedrescue]

No, it's--- I am fine! I was not aware that there would be people here and--- [Oh gosh so embarrassing.] Just how much did you see?

[tank_sniper]

...A few minutes.

[Let's go with that. She'll take a few steps closer for ease of communication.]

You're one of those dancer classes... Macabre Dancer?

[failedrescue]

[He quickly tries to straighten up in an attempt to brush aside the earlier embarrassment. He's semi-successful at it, at least.] Ah, yes. That would be correct. It is the first time I have ever encountered the skill, so I had been curious as to how to use it.
