Surprised but heartened by the kiss on his cheek, Aoaka let himself be led out. After figuring out where to put his hands, he fumbled for a few minutes before figuring out that it was a rhythm, like the waves in the lake. After that, it was only a matter of remembering what direction to step, and counting in time. One, two, three...
He didn't realize it, but he was probably a bit comical looking. His face was a study in concentration, and his lips moved as he counted silently. He was getting the hang of it, though he almost stepped on Pol's foot once. His apology was almost more of a mix-up than the not-quite-accident, since he forgot to keep counting, and had to start over.
"I'm sorry," he said one more time, smiling through his embarrassed blush. He was having a good time, even with the miscue. "I think I have it now, mostly,"he said, and gave her hand a light squeeze where he held it.

Polgara smiled. "You're doing fine, just relax and let the musice move you," She said with a light chuckle, looking down into his eyes, she was blushing as well, for an entirly different reason.
"So, Aoaka, how do you like dancing? Is it anything like swimming?" She smiled and slowly stopped leading and let Aoaka lead, not minding at all if he wasn't the best dancer in the world, he was trying, and that's all that mattered.

[chainedfaye] "Oh! Well that sounds like fun, maybe I will go someday!" 'Better wait until Syl and Amethyst are older though' she thought. 'As often as I get stuck looking after them, I don't think it would be much fun with two toddlers too.'
Her stomache rumbled again and she started looking over the the food. Not seeing her favorite food, her face fell. "I wish they had some strawberries, those are so yummy." She nodded seriously.
Karma looked over and then smiled as she found what Alaera was looking for, "These?" She handed a fresh tray of stawberries over to her. They were the brightest, biggest, and juiciest starwberries Karma had ever seen.

spookyx7 Noel nodded, she was sure he was right. As she listened to him talk she felt an itch on her pointer finger, it was itchy and cold. When she brought it up to look at she saw a long ice blade. "That's weird." Ra smiled as he saw the blade. "Speak of the power and Amazingly it apears out of no were This is your power it seems. And as I recal no one else will have your power but you." he said calmly he knew that he could not answer many questions about powers but he knew a bit about them.

Aoaka noticed Pol's blush, and for a moment, he thought she was embarrassed, too. But after a second look, he changed his mind.
She seems happy. Because she's... dancing with me? he thought. He very much enjoyed dancing with her, but to think that she enjoyed dancing with him, too... the idea made him happy. He hoped she really was, and that he wasn't assuming.
He was watching her face, lost in thought, with what could probably be called a dreamy expression on his face. He almost didn't realize when she stopped leading, but that, and her question, brought him back to the rest of the world.
He fumbled for a moment, thinking about swimming and dancing, and then answered, "In a way. There's a certain rhythm of movement about both, but it's different," he paused as he gently pulled her away from someone he'd almost steered her into.
"Or maybe not," he continued, as a thought occured to him. "I was thinking of dancing as different because you have two Pae, but if you're swimming, it's like the water is your partner. Sometimes the currents in the water lead you, and you follow, but you can take the lead, too, and decide where to go," he said, glancing up to see if he had made sense.
He smiled. "I really like swimming, but I very much like to dance with you, Pol." And he did, even more now that he was getting the hang of it. "I'm glad it was you who taught me," he added, blushing again, but this time not from embarrassment.

Polgara smiled. "I was more than happy to oblige," She said warmly, watchin Aoaka as they moved across the dance floor. She was having so much fun with Aoaka that she was completely and totally lost to the world.
Her focus was completely on Aoaka and nothing else. Her eyes remained on him the entire time they danced, and she kept feeling that twitterpated feeling in her chest, something she hadn't felt in what felt like ages.
"So, Aoaka... when this dance is over, would you like to get some refreshments and sit for awhile?" She asked, if only because she wanted to get Aoaka away from the dance floor a little while.

Alaera blinked. That was weird, she could have sworn there wasn't any strawberries here just a moment ago. She shrugged, oh well, and plopped on of the berries in her mouth savoring the taste of the juice. "Mmmm" she sighed.
"These are so much better than the ones I find in the wild. 'Course I've eaten most of those already but next spring Sally is gonna let me have a corner of the garden to grow some strawberries in."
She offered the basket of fruit to her new friend, smiling happily. "So has this fate led you on any interesting adventures?" she asked curiously.

Karma smiled and took one of the berries from the basket. She chewed it slowly and then nodded, "Very good." She looked out over the room and saw all the other paes. "Oh, Fate leads me where I need to go to learn and grow. Every adventure, good or bad, is needed." Karma turned back to Alaera with a grin.

Alaera nodded mindlessly. She had followed Karma's gaze and was looking out at the other Pae. So had never seen so many all at once before.
Her eyes drifted to those on the dance floor. She wasn't exactly sure what they were doing but it certainly looked like fun. She chuckled to herself...some of them looked like they had no idea what they were doing either.
She turned to Karma and grinned "Well, I think Fate is guiding us in the direction of the dance floor. "

Karma looked out at the dancefloor as well. She hadn't been dancing before. "She is? Well, we better go then." Karma led her out to the floor and then frowned, "What do we do next. I've never been dancing." Karama whispered this information to Alaera.

"Ah.....well to be honest neither have I" Alaera confessed nervously. "I just thought it looked like fun."
She watched a few of the other Pae and tried to mimick their movements with her body. After a few moments of ackwardness, she gave up trying to copy them and just let her body move on its own accord.
She looked over at Karma and smiled "I dunno if this is how you are supposed to do it, but it's fun. Just let your body wiggle around to the music."

Karma watched Alaera move around to the music, "Well, I guess I'll give it a try." Karma swayed and swung her hips. She felt the music in her movements, she wasn't too bad after all. "How do I look?"

Alaera stopped shimmeying around to watch Karma. 'Wow, she thought to herself, she's really good at this.'
"You look great, you're a natural!!" she exclaimed, laughing at her own ackwardness.
Alaera resumed dancing around and a flashback of her mother moving around to some music while doing the dishes entered her mind. She had looked so sensual...Alaera wondered if she could do it as well.
She started to move her hips in a figure eight motion and raised her arms above her hands, she closed her eyes and just let the music have control of her body.

Karma smiled, "Thanks." She continued her movements and then watched Alaera's. "Wow, you look great too." She was right, Fate had led them to the dancefloor. Karma danced to where she circled Alaera, Karma was having fun.
