[ the thing about yuel is that she's a "free spirit". (she's not good with instructions.)

she follows grace's directions... fairly well. ]

When are we gonna move onto the fun stuff?

[alteracion]

Once you finish the stretches. You wanna know how many hours I had to spent in plies before trying anything else?

[ she demonstrates, putting her foot on the bar like it ain't no thang ]

[fluffier]

[ she makes a noise of discontent, but follows suit, but not without slumping unhappily ]

I've spent plenty of hours in life doin' stretches, though.

[alteracion]

Okay, fine. So let's see if you can do this.

[ it's? pirouette time? i don't understand how they work because i don't do ballet but she shows off for yuel ]

[fluffier]

[ okay, she immediately perks up at this because grace is awesome!! and she loves to see her dance! ]

That's what I'm talkin' about!

[ and she'll do it too! though... a little more wobbly ]

[alteracion]

[ first: she preens at being watched. thank you for her pride. but that does not stop her from tutting yuel's form a little ]

Almost. You have to keep everything really straight. Having perfect balance helps, obviously.

[fluffier]

[ she frowns ]

Are ya sayin' I don't have good balance?

[alteracion]

No, it's good. Just not as good as mine, obviously.

[ she shows off another unnecessary pirouette ]

[fluffier]

Are ya here to teach me or just show off?

[ >:( ]

[alteracion]

I can do both. [ smugly. smuggily. the smuggest. but she stops pirouetting and shows her the steps of it slower ] But see, you start off like this, and then kick off. The momentum should be all you need to start you off on the spin, and then it's easier to keep going.

[ it's also easier with the right shoes, but, y'know ]

[fluffier]

[ for some reason that display is really ruffling her feathers? even though grace is beautiful and amazing and wonderful to look at?

weird. ]

Okay...

[ she's make another attempt, following through the steps but, something's still off ]

[alteracion]

You're thinking too hard about it now! [ is that what it is. grace redoes it but more slowly. agonizingly slowly. ] See? It's all in the feet.

[fluffier]

[ Okay, Grace doing it super slowly is the last straw. ]

Don't treat me like an idiot! Are ya just tryin' to make me look like I can't dance?

[alteracion]

[ she raises an eyebrow, still kind of in pose ? but she tilts her head with a smile. maybe it comes off as condescending! who knows! probably. ]

Calm down, I'm demonstrating.

[fluffier]

Really? Well, I ain't learned a thing except that you like to show off.

[alteracion]

[ well, first of all, yes she does, but also, wow: ]

You're the one who asked me to skip the basics.

[fluffier]

I've been dancin' since I could walk. Ya think I don't know the basics?

[alteracion]

[ she's in a normal pose now, arms crossed ]

Not all dances have the same basics! Obviously, or you'd be getting it right, Yuel.

[fluffier]

[ on some level, she knows she's overreacting

but also, her pride ]

Maybe I'd get it if you were actually good at teachin'!

[alteracion]

[ yeah this is just. a pride battle now ]

Maybe I'd be a better teacher if you were better at listening instead of being an impatient brat!

[fluffier]

A b— I'm older than you, ya know!

[alteracion]

So why don't you try acting like it?

[fluffier]

I am! I'm lecturin' you!

[alteracion]

[ grace goes "meh meh meh" out loud, flapping her hand like yuel is a particularly annoying muppet ]

Keep telling yourself that.

[fluffier]

That's it! I've had enough of yer attitude.

You can dance alone if yer gonna be so annoying.
