[ She's happy to take the stage in the centre of the room, starting the movements of the dance. It's traditional and precise, sweeping movements from both her arms and legs in a building rhythm that quickens to a rapid pace before slowing to a stop. ]
Ta-da! It's called the Crimson Dance. I normally dance with swords but... I ain't got 'em here.
[lust stands off to the side with sqx, watching yuel go. if they could see under their hood, they may get the sense their eyes are wide before they break into applause.]
That was so cool! I loved the way you built up the momentum right up to the end! Is it hard to dance with swords? I'd be afraid of cutting myself.
Hehe. [ She's 100% soaking up the praise, rubbing the back of her head. ] I practiced with dummy swords when I was a kid, but ya get used to 'em bein' like part of yer body. When I get 'em back I'll show ya the proper dance.
What kinda dancin' do you two do? I only learned folk dances when I was grownin' up, but Grace told me there's a lot where she comes from. Ballet, hip hop...
I'd love to see it! And I bet Shi Qingxuan would, too. [but they take a finger to their chin, somehow. it kind of gets lost in the hood. it's fine.]
Grace knows a lot of the same kind of dances I do, from what it sounds like! But I love jazz and contemporary so I can make up my own choreography. The best kind of dancing is the kind where you really get into the music.
[and they turn to sqx] But I think it's your turn to demonstrate, huh?
[please show them your sword dance, yuel! shi qingxuan really wants to see it. honestly, she'd like to see lust's dances... and grace's too? wow, sounds like we'll have to grab zia for a dance pc at some point!!
anyway, oh right, it's time for her to demonstrate. she heads over to do that, then, withdrawing her fan from her belt and unfolding it. time to do a fan dance!
[it means lust laughs as they take a step back to give themselves some room.]
Well I can't guarantee that, but I hope you like it!
[but they have a promise to keep, so they begin! they start with their back facing the two of them before they begin to step from side to side, turning to face the front before adding some movements of their arms. they step from side to side, swinging their arms in a graceful fluid motion, waving their hands and nodding to a beat. they mime playing the drums. they continue to step from side to side and move their arms from side to side, turning in circles...it's all very precise, actually, and lust seems to be humming to themselves?
neither of them will really understand, but given this is the hardest description to write? the moves are very similar to what an idol would do with the turns, arm movements, sidesteps and bows. and at the end they strike a pose with one arm in the air. tada~!]
anyway, shi qingxuan watches as lust dances. the arm movements are pretty interesting! she'd almost expect her to be holding something, but, well, she's used to fan dances, so.
when lust strikes a pose, she applauds.]
What an energetic dance! It looked like you were having so much fun!

If we move some of the chairs against that wall, we should have enough space. What do you think?

[just heading right on over to start pulling chairs out of the way!]

She looks at the TV again before carefully draping a rug over it.
Looking over the space, she places he hands on her hips, and nods. ]
