[ A small blip of realization. ]

Oh. Yeah. I'm fine. Jiaoqiu has been helping refresh my bandages when I need to. But I've been healing fine. [ Until their dungeon trip. ]

[midway]

That's good to hear. [ Still worry. ] It is a shame we don't have healing magic here.

It's a relief we have Jiaoqiu, but hopefully we aren't adding too much stress to him.

[punnier]

If we did, I'd use my healing craft to help out. Would help out with those excursions a lot.

[ A nod... ] ..Yeah. I'm relieved he got healed at least by one of those items we can get. Even though I do think being busy helps him.. I also don't want to overstress him.

[midway]

Exactly.

[ Holds out hand. ]

Are you feeling well enough to dance?

[punnier]

[ A slow blink as they look to his hand. Before their lips curl a little as if about to say a joke. ]

Didn't really take you for a dancer.

[ ..There's something soft there, curious in their emotions, a bit of yearning simply for human contact alone. Their hand reaches out, careful, featherlight as fingers rest over his palm. Yeah, they can dance. ]

[midway]

[ Cute!! Takes their hand and holds it, settling his other one on their waist. ]

Actually, I love dancing. Even if this isn't how we used to it when I was growing up... It can be nice. Allows for conversation too.

[ Holding on securely, but careful of any injuries as he leads them into a dance, content and pleased.. ]

[punnier]

[ Oh, the hand on their waist does make them a little jumpy, but the emotions are just surprise and fluster. Unused to it. Their hand not being held kinda hovers awkwardly as if unsure where to put it, I'm sorry. ]

Really? [ ..Huh. Something new they have learned about him. ] ..I can't remember the last time I've danced, back in my world. It must have been a different kind of dance since I don't really recognize what I've seen others do here.

[ From the few times the large group here have had their celebrations. Their fingers curl a little firmer around his hand, doing their best to follow his lead. They might be unfamiliar to the dance, but their steps are light and they move with the flow rather easily. ]

[midway]

[ He won't hold too firmly!! Doesn't want to make them uncomfortable. But he'll guide their other hand to his shoulder.

They can start slow for now. ]

That's the best part, isn't it? [ Looking curious. ] All kinds of different worlds and universes... It's fun to see how things are different and the same.

If you ever recall what that dance was like, I'd like to see it.

[punnier]

[ Their hand twitches a little in small surprise, but they allow him to guide it, settling it there and fingers curl to reaffirm that hold.

Slow is good. Gives them time to adjust, to catch on. Their own steps still as silent and as light. ]

..It is fun. [ Though Siffrin focuses his attention downwards, there is a genuine small smile at that. Learning about the different kinds of worlds and universe.. it's more than fun, it's so interesting, and he's always eager to learn more. ]

Hah. [ A small puff of a laugh, winking at him cutely. ] Sure, if I ever recall it, I'll save that dance for you to repay you for this one.

[midway]

[ CUTE... SIFFRIN YOU ARE SO CUTE

He looks a little delighted by the wink. ]

I'm looking forward to it, you know! If you want to learn a totally new dance and pretend it's the one you remember, I'm open to you fooling me too.

[punnier]

[ Sometimes, the lil whimsy is still there deep down. ]

Nuh uh. It won't be as important if it's just a new dance to fool you with. Who knows, maybe it'll come to me someday.

[ Wishful thinking. ]

[midway]

Oh... You want it to be important?

[ Teasing. ]

[punnier]

If it's a dance from home, of course it'd be.

[ Anything they could remember from home would be sacred and important. But also impossible. ]
