Mitsu's ears gave a twitch picking up on Mot's mumbled words. Her ears falling back a little she hoped he didn't regret offering to help teach her already. The lupine would try harder, she didn't want to be a disappointment.
"O..okay," She nodded to Mot's instruction. If she got down the first bit they could move on to something else. Hopefully moving on wasn't a far fetched dream.
"A drink would be nice," Mitsu confirmed heading over to her bag to grab her wallet. Grabbing a couple of silver Mitsu held them up to the reaper for him to take. "I don't mind what I get. Thank you for offering to get something."

With crossed arms, Levi watched Mitsu attempt the twirl she'd just showed her. When the lupine tripped and stumbled onto the ground face first, Levi's eyes widened but quickly readjusted so Mitsu wouldn't catch her utter shock. Looking away, the tatzel caught Mot's eyes and it looked like the boil was thinking the same thing she was.
"uh-oh..."
Back to Mitsu, Levi wore a pitiful smile and shook her head. Nah, s'alright, screecheart. We'll work on yur turnin'. Best ta git on. Sure we got lots ta learn 'ere after these things 'er down. The ghoul had tried. That counted for something, at least. She didn't turn tail and run or anything; Mitsu stood on her own two feet-... most of the time.
Apparently then, the cowboil offered to pick up some beverages (they'd likely need the extra energy - good thinking) and Levi nodded her head. Somethin' sweet fer me, if ya don't mind please 'n thank ya. Rustling into a pocket, she pulled out some silver and flicked it towards the cowboil between her fingers with a grin.
She then turned her attention back to Mitsu and clapped in tune to the music, hoping it would help cheer the ghoul up while she practiced those first steps.

What was with these ghouls? Offering him silver? No no. A gentlemen buys! He caught the silver Levi tossed at him, smirking and flicking t right back at her. "I'm buying." He slipped his thumbs through his belt loops and strode off into the building.
Mot made his way to the cafeteria, intent on getting himself a strong cup of coffee, and something sweet for the ghouls. He bought a very large cup of black coffee, and two bottles of something sweet and fruity for the ghouls.
His errand done, he made his way back out, coffee in one hand and the necks of the bottles between his fingers in the other. "I'm back." He announced, setting the drinks down on the table.

"I..I really do appreciate you guys trying to teach me.." She wanted them to know. The lupine would try her hardest not to let them down.
Mitsu continued to hold her money up toward Mot, her ears tilting in an odd fashion to show that she was confused. B...but she had money why would he pay. "B...but..." And he was gone. There was no room for protest as he disappeared toward the cafeteria.
With a light sigh Mitsu put her money away and went back to practicing, her gaze drifting to Levi every once in a while as she tried to mimic the moves over again.
Step, cross, stumble....
Step, cross, trip......
Step, cross, step.
Ah! She had finally done it. It was just a matter of trying to keep her feet the right distance from each other so they didn't catch and trip her up. Now on to the next part...turning. Mitsu really had her doubts on this one but gave it another go none the less.
In the time it took Mot to return Mitsu had already eaten dirt about four times, looking a little iffy on trying the turn again. Her mask sat slightly askew on her face, her ears drooped at the side of her head. She was really starting to feel like she was going to be wasting their time. Thankfully with Mot's return there was hope for a break and the lupine jumped at the chance trotting toward the reaper.
Picking up one of the bottles off the table Mitsu looked it over for a moment before trying to decide how to go about drinking it without removing her mask. Tricky tricky....
Finally she decided on slightly shifting the mask out of place allowing her to sip at the drink without exposing too much of her face. Ooo it was fruity. "T..this is pretty good. Thank you."

She caught the silver back in one hand and raised a brow to Mot's offer of buying them drinks. Well, he sure wasn't the fighting type... guess he had more gentlemanly qualities. In turn, it would be rude for her to not take up his offer, so she let it go. She'd have to thank him when he returned...
Watching Mitsu, Levi was proud to see the lupine had finally picked up on Mot's first steps. That'a ghoul, Mitsu, that'a ghoul! yeeeheehee~ She clapped for Mitsu's triumph over her spaghetti legs and stood tall to watch her attempt the spinning again. She tried once- nope. She tried twice- nope. The third time made Levi wince slightly. At Mitsu's fourth fall, Levi spotted a returning Mot and went to help her back on her feet before the lupine bounded over to the cowboil.
Well thank ya kindly, cowboil. Levi gestured with a fake tip-of-the-hat. It was a playful move, but if he mocked her for it, she was ready to whop him in the shins with her tail to take him down a notch. Always have back up. Nodding over to Mitsu while taking up the other fruity bottle, Levi spoke to the prince before taking a swig of the drink.
She'd got down them fancy foot works 'a yours so far. Yep.
That'sa good start.

"You're both very welcome." He gave Levi an amused and toothy grin at her tipping hat motion, nodding his head in return. Teasing or not, anything wild west related was always a plus for Mot.
He took a good sip from his coffee, black the way he liked it, and sighed softly. Much better.
"Did she now? I'm glad." He gave the lupine a reassuring smile. "Fast learner. You'll be a master in no time~." The ghoul always seemed so timid. He felt it was best to be as kind and reassuring as possible. Lift that confidence up!

Pulling away the drink Mitsu was actually blushing a little at what Mot had said. Quickly she moved her mask back into place to avoid the red hue of her skin from being see. "I..I still can't spin...I..I fall down." A lot. She was a master at falling on her face, but Mot and Levi's words were kind and they did make her feel better about her slight progress.
"You both make dancing look so easy," Mitsu pointed out. "At Prom you both danced so well." They had certainly put on a show. Mot had even flown across the room at one point and landed on a table with style. Even Levi had fancy moves being able to use her tail for support.

Yep, she did! She sang the lupine's praise to Mot in hopes that Mitsu would gain a bit of confidence from their happy exchanges. Soon she'll be spinnin' circles 'round ya'll. She raised an eyebrow at Mot then jokingly - humor would help her taunt the cowboil loosen the mood too, she figured.
Took years ta do... all that stuff we all did tho, screecheart. Practicin' is key ta tha gettin' better part. Come, lemme show ya what ma Pa used ta do ta me ta help with ma spins...
Levi strolled over to Mitsu and offered her a hand. When she took it, Levi raised their clasped hands and flicked her wrist lightly just to show a direction. Gimme a spin on one foot... pushin' off with tha other. Tryin' use me as a sorta leanin' stake. It was like training wheels; he Pa could twirl her forever when they'd dance within the house back home. It was all just for play of course, but it had perhaps helped to apply Levi's agility in her dancing. The ghoul was the right height by comparison to lead Mitsu into her spinning attempts, and if the ghoul was going to go down into a fall, perhaps Levi would be able to pick her up before it happened. She'd already fallen quite a bit, it seemed.

Mot laughed and waved his hand dismissively. "Hey, you never know~" Maybe soon Mitsu could spin circles around him. Though he doubted it was in the immediate future. As long as Mitsu didn't give up, she would be fine.
Aah yes, prom. So much dancing. Why did he dance so much? Mot smiled sheepishly, scratching his chin. He wasn't really ashamed of it at all, not at all. But he had certainly made quite the impression.
Levi was onto something, and Mot sat back a bit, leaning against the table and taking another sip of his coffee.

Mitsu's ears seemed to perk a bit at the tatzel's praise, her and Mot's happy banter at least making her feel a little better. Practice...she was going to need a lot of it before she was ever going to spin circles around anyone.
Curiously Mitsu watched Levi approach and hold out her hand to her. Tentatively she took hold of the other ghouls hand only to have her hand raised above her head. At the slight flick of the wrist and instruction Mitsu gave a nervous nod and once again attempted to spin. This time, however, with Levi's help the ghoul was only slightly unsteady and managed to stay upright during her spin.
The smile she had couldn't be seen but the enthusiastic wag of the tail was certainly an indicator that she was pleased. "I..I did it!" Thankfully Levi was tall enough to help her with this feat and with her assistance Mitsu gave it a couple of more goes, in the end finally catching on how to balance without falling...at least with the aid.

Levi guided Mitsu through her turns and examined her form while doing so. Mitsu was still wobbly in the legs, but with each attempt, she was getting better and better. Noticing the flickering fluffy white tail, Levi chuckled and unknowingly curled the end of her tail as well. It was fulfilling to see someone take what you've taught them and work well with it. Perhaps it was time to remove the training wheels?
Levi glanced over to Mot for a moment with an accomplished look before smiling down at Mitsu. That's some fine work, ghoulie! Now- whaddaya think 'bout tryin' it on yer own one time? Letting go and stepping back a few feet, Levi gave the lupine room, but wanted to keep close just in case.

Mot smirked back at Levi's look, watching from the sidelines as the ghouls worked. "Way to go, Mitsu!" Mot called out with a grin.
He was curious to see how she would do without the training wheels.
"You can do it!" Boy, this training stuff was easy! Well, Levi was doing most of the training. Mot settled for cheerleader for now until he could be useful.
For now, he watched over them, sipping his coffee again then setting it beside Levi's drink.

Mitsu was rather pleased with her success on the matter, her tail wagging behind her. At least it was wagging until Levi mentioned trying the move out on her own. "B..by myself?"
The tatzel had stepped away to give her space but Mitsu seemed a little unsure. Staring at the ghoul for a moment her gaze shifted to Mot as he encouraged her to try as well. "O..okay."
She didn't want to fall. That was the heaviest weight on her mind at the moment but she tried to remember how she had gone about it with Levi's help. How she had balanced and moved. Keeping this information in mind Mitsu began to move, completing a full spin and managing to stay upright in the process. When she came to a stop again she seemed to be in disbelief that she had actually done it.

It was an accomplishment to be sure when, just a few moments ago, Mitsu was unable to keep her own balance. Her twirl earned her a hearty clapping from the tatzel. Yeeheehee~ atta ghoul, Mitsu. Atta ghoul! Walking back up to the lupine, Levi rustled around Mitsu's hair lightly, praising her. It seemed that things were looking up for her lessons and potentially learning how to dance. Sure, time was still going to be needed but- it was now getting off to a good start.
Eyes back on the cowboil, Levi's lips tweaked at both ends. Ghoul's got 'er spinnin', I reckon. Surely Levi's more difficult step being learnt by Mitsu showed her superiority over the reaper as far as skill/teaching went. Dun 'know what ya'll can do ta top that. She jokingly(?) narrowed her eyes, challenging the boil...

Mitsu had done a spin all on her own! Mot clapped for her, even whistling in congratulations like an excited one man crowd.
Then, Levi gave him a challenge.
Mot smirked and left the table, approaching the ghouls. "Sit back, Country Ghoul. It's my turn." It would be a challenge to find something more complicated then Levi's spin that was easy enough for Mitsu to learn.
"Well then, let's try and step it up a bit, shall we?" Mot stepped back a bit, his thumbs looped through his belt loops. "So, in addition to the moved we just showed you, we'll be adding something else." Mot did the moves again as a reminder, his own and even the spin, though his spin was more on his heel. After that, a side skip to the right, a turn, a few steps back to the beat, and another turn.
Mot stopped and turned to Mitsu again, stepping beside her. "Okay, we'll try this together really slow, alright? Don't worry about falling. I've got you." As he said his his thumbs slipped out of his belt loops, so his arms could be at the ready to stop Mitsu from harming herself.
