I never was a dancer, but Jessainia talked me into trying to learn how to dance. Which took along time for her to manage until I finally gave up...

You have emoted: Asilient araps one arm around your back, with alot of hesitation, his breathing seeming to pause for a moment as he takes on of her hands in his other. A small shudder seems to run through his body, apparently from nerves.

Jessainia's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Just go ahead, it's okay."

You say, "Umm... I'm not sure..."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "You'll do fine."

Jessainia flashes you a joyous smile.

You have emoted: Asilient moves his right foot sideways, leading the way. He then steps forwards, trying to time his own steps with yours. Stepping forwards once more his right foot clips his left and he stumbles forward into you.

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "It's okay, try again."

You have emoted: Asilient steps backwards, trembling slightly, releasing
your hand he turns to walk away. Ready to give up.

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Asilient Please."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Don't give up."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Try again."

Jessainia gives you a compassionate hug.

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "It takes more than one try you
know, you never get it on your first try."

You have emoted: Asilient pauses for a moment hearing your voice. His eyes close for a moment. Another moment of hesitation. Without opening his eyes he turns and takes your hand in his again. A small sigh passing through between his lips as he says, somewhat warily 'Ok...'

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Don't panic, hear the music in your head and move to it."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Go ahead Asi, move to it."

You have emoted: Asilient mutters in a low voice 'Music...' Again he starts
with a step to the right, leading the way slowly. He steps backwards drawing you with him, a rythm moving in his steps. Moving to the side again, he accidently steps on your foot causing a stumble in the movements, only not enough of a stumble to cause a fall.

You say, "Sorry..."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "It's okay, keep going."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Remember Asi, move to the music."

You say, "If I could hear..."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Just imagine it, I know it would be easier, but go ahead."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Go ahead, try the next step."

You have emoted: Asilient regaining his composure, trembling slightly, he
resumes his position. Closing his eyes, a few strands of hair dance across his forehead with a soft wind as he moves for the next step backwards.

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "That's it, you're doing very well."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Now try the next step, don't worry about what might happen, just do it."

You have emoted: Asilient steps to the side, leading you along with him, the ghost of a smile flickering across his face momentarily. He steps towards you. Stopping in the movement, his cloak swaying from the movements. He seems to hesitate again before taking another step to the left.

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Good! Go ahead now, you're getting it."

Jessainia's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "It's okay, you'll do fine, don't
doubt yourself."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Don't think, just dance, it'll all
turn out fine, trust me."

You have emoted: Asilient sighs slowly once again, the sigh seeming to creep from every inch of his body. He starts again, stepping sideways, backwards, forwards. Leading you around to some unheard tune, his nerves showing slightly in his shaking hand.

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Perfect. Now, keep going."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Continue doing what you just did and you will do fine, just trust me."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "It's okay, just keep moving to the music in your head, let it guide you."

You say, "This isn't..."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Yes, it will work, just keep going alright?"

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "I promise you you'll do fine."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "You are a talented man Asi, you can do this."

You have emoted: Asilient continues with the movements, his nerves seeming to get the better of him. He steps on your foot and stumbles slightly, uttering a quiet 'Sorry.' He continues guiding you through various steps around the room. The amount of time between steps decreasing as he leads you.

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Go ahead, you're doing fine."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Forget everything but the music."

You have emoted: Asilient moves more fluently with the increased pace of the steps. Directing you around the room in a multitude of smooth steps and movements, finally coming to a halt just infront of the coffin.
You have emoted: Asilient closes his eyes, lowering his head slightly, he looks around slowly. Stepping back from you, releasing his hold from around you. A small sigh passing his lips as he looks up at you.

Jessainia's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "That was very good. I told you that you could do it."

You say, "See? Told you I can't dance."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "You did fine."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "With practice you will be a great dancer, I am sure of it."

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "But for now I must go, see you later?"

You have emoted: Asilient allows himself to fall backwards onto his back, a
soft laughter passing through his lips.

Jessainia Bloodrose, Page of Kiyotan says, "Remember what I said okay? Until next time then."

You chuckle long and heartily.

Jessainia gives a trillingly melodic laugh.

You say, "You'll be lucky to get a next time out of me."

I'll admit, I enjoyed it to some degree... But I'm not likely to dance again. Razz
