▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✧✧✧ Class Choice
Solo - Prentice - WC 911
“You need to have much better form.” Merle’s voice came out cold and sharp. "Do you think basic skill is enough?"
Niiemh looked over at her “Mother” for a second, breaths coming in quick gasps, sweat starting to roll down the sides of her face and even into her small cleavage. She’d been at it for a while now. Her feet were aching and just about every muscle in her body was on fire. As sweat rolled down her face and neck it made her feel sticky in places she didn’t like. Finally, though, she nodded her head at the woman then took a breath and looked away so that she could better focus on something else, anything else. Namely her moves.
“Shoulders back. No one likes a slouch.” The woman spat at the girl. “I know I didn’t teach you to look like a slob.” The way she insinuated things made it seem like the few short years Nii has spend with her mother she'd been taught bad habits.
At the criticism she straightened her shoulders, pulling them back and putting a metaphorical rod in her spine. Niiemh also gave a slight lift to her chin so as to keep her head high so as to avoid being chided for that next. The criticism came almost in a predictable pattern with very familiar words.
“Good.” Merle nodded her head in mild approval though she didn't seem all that impressed.
Niiemh moved her feet then, lifting up on her toes and taking a step forward, keeping her feet pointed and looking as graceful as she could manage. It put a lot of strain on her claves but she was mostly used to it by now. Her arms came out to either side of her, hands bent at the wrist and fingers out in beautiful and mesmerizing positions. She tilted one side of her hips down to the ground, making the coined belt at her waist jingle like it was supposed to do. That same hip popped back up creating more jingles and the other side went down. In all she thought she was doing good. By the sound alone it seemed like she'd managed to get her movements to be sharp.
That was until a sharp smack across her calves came from the cane Merle held in her hand. “You’re losing focus, girl. Your feet look hideous. Point them. Point!” The cane tapped her calves again to make a point.
She winced at the pain but nodded her head and repositioned her feet so that they were pointing properly. Apparently she’d forgotten about them while she was focused on her hips and that momentary lapse was enough to make Merle displeased. Dancing took a lot of focus and normally she had it but when Merle was around she became too nervous to just let the dance flow. She constantly worried that she would mess something up. Of course the worry only made her mess up and then she had to deal with the repercussions. Usually some form of punishment or another.
“Better. Now..” Merle slapped the cane across one of Niiemh’s hips. “These could use some work. Stop being so rigid with them.” She tapped the girl’s hip again to get her to move it down.
One eye closed as pain radiated up from her hip bone to her spine. Still, Niiemh dropped her hip down in a smoother motion. The coin belt jingled but not as suddenly. It had a more quiet sound, something more alluring she supposed. All the dancers she'd seen hadn't been as soft in their hip movements so she hadn't been either.
“Yes. Get their attention with subtlety. Being as crude as your birth mother will only get your so far.” Merle sneered at her again before she moved away. “Now. Try again.
Her body was trembling from the continued strain she was putting on it. Being on her toes constantly was hard to do, it made her calves burn something fierce and even put a cramp in her toes. Her arms constantly out to the sides, while there was no added weight, got tiring after a while. Then there was the fact that she’d been practicing so long that she had missed lunch. So she was hungry.
Still, her “Mother” wanted her to try again. So she did. This time she completed the move a bit more easily. There was better flow to her hips and less of a pop in her movements. The grace she had in her hands was also noted as Niiemh saw Merle give a nod of her head from the corner of her eye.
“Good good.” Merle turned away as a servant came over with something to tell her. “We’ll make a dancer out of you yet girl. Now go get cleaned up, you reek of sweat and dinner will be in a few hours.” Clearly she expected Niiemh to wait until then to get something to eat.
Niiemh slowly deflated, her arms going to her sides like dead weights, and her feet flattening so she was no longer on her tip toes. She gave a nod of her head at the instructions. “Yes Mother.” And with that she moved away. Becoming a dancer wasn’t a bad thing but it hadn’t been her choice. Although she wasn’t going to fight against it. To do so would get her in trouble. Besides, when Merle wasn’t around she wasn’t half bad at it.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✧✧✧ Resting in her room
Solo - Prentice - WC 604 ( 2pt )
After having been found out by her brother and then spending some time with him so that she might get some rest, Niiemh was on her way to her room once again. Her feet weren’t as sore as they had been earlier so walking didn’t hurt as much but her hip still smarted at her whenever she moved it a certain way. Giving a hiss she looked down at the offending body part, having to lift her arm up slightly so that it was out of the way, and sighed heavily. She had a few more hours before dinner was to be served so that meant she could at least relax with some of the stinky medication to help with the healing process then hop into a warm bath to soak and wash it off.
Which she didn’t think was a half bad idea. With the small jar of meds in her hand she smiled to herself. It was a good thing that her family had so many businesses now that she thought about it. Without that and her older brother’s knowledge of which ointment to use for bruises, something she was going to ask him about later when she got the chance since it brought about so many questions, she would likely still be in a bit more pain. Nii was even sure she might have some swelling in her foot if it weren't for her brother as well.
As she reached the door to her room she entered easily enough. A simple twist of the knob and in she went. There was no lock on her door, something of which Merle had insisted upon and not just for her. Niiemh wasn’t sure why. Of course she’d have loved to have privacy but she didn’t push the issue. Not when she could easily pick another battle to fight and the fact that she still had a door. The door clicked closed behind her and she went over to her bed so that she could sit down and take the weight off her feet. That alone was a relief and she took in a deep breath before releasing it slowly and looking around her room.
Her room was neither small nor large. It held her bed, half obscured with drapes of sheer fabric and piled with plush pillows, a dresser that held her clothing which was mostly dancing attire to be honest, and then a small bookshelf for the few books she owned and some knick knacks that she was fond of, and a room divider that allowed for her to change behind it. She rarely used the divider unless she anticipated someone walking in on her or one of her sisters was in the room with her while she changed.
Niiemh shifted to the side and moved her clothes out of the way so that she could apply more of the medication to her hip. A process that took several moments with the odd angle and her wanting to make sure she got enough on. Once it was done she put the lid back on the jar and moved it to sit on top of the dresser where she knew where it was for later use. With the sticky salve on and doing its work she moved once more so that she could lay flat on the cushions of her mattress and relax. It wasn't something she did often but the added pillows on her bed were very comfortable. A fact that she'd quite forgotten until then. She would take a short nap before getting into the bath and readying herself for dinner.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✧✧✧ A debut to make
Solo - Prentice - WC 668
(( Nii is being sent out to make her debut as a dancer in Jauhar. This gives her her first step toward reaching her goal. ))
“Do you understand what you need to do?” Merle’s voice cut deep as she seemed to be annoyed with Niiemh.
The red head blinked stupidly for a solid second before she nodded her head frantically. “Y-Yes. This is my debut so I need to impress the crowd.” She was being sent to Jauhar to try out her performances.
Nii was excited to be able to travel. Of course she also knew that the only reason she was getting to go was because her father’s caravan was going in that direction. The main point of the caravan would be to conduct business for the meat and fur trade, her performances were secondary to that end. Not that she minded. It got her out of the house for a bit and she would get to see a side of her father’s business that she’d not seen before. And of course one of her brothers was coming along too. A younger brother but it still counted when one took into consideration he was taller than Nii.
“Yes. We shall see if you can hold an audience captive or if you need to work on your form. Your brother will keep watch and inform me of how well you do.” Merle gave Niiemh a stern, almost disgusted look then. “He will also make sure you don’t do anything… foolish.” The last word had the woman’s gaze dropping to take in Nii’s full form before she turned away. “Make sure you have everything packed. The caravan doesn’t need delays. Don’t cause trouble for your brother either.” And that was all she said before disappearing around the corner.
She stood there for another moment feeling awkward and exposed. There was something about her step mother’s gaze that could just make her feel like she was naked in a room. Vulnerable. After a second she took a deep breath to steady herself then moved across the room. Nii still needed to pack her regular clothing. Her performance outfits had been selected by Merle so she didn’t need to worry about that, unless she wanted to chance her younger brother reporting that she didn’t wear them. It would be more of a hassle when she returned though. Nii opted to simply leave that alone and worry about what she would wear for normal day to day activities.
As she headed for her room one of the servants caught her attention and they seemed to be excited, so she looked around quickly before going over to speak with them. “Yes Jonna?”
The woman called Jonna glanced around quickly to make sure no one saw or heard them before she leaned in close to the young miss. “I heard yous going with one of the caravans.” She seemed pleased by this news and put something in Niiemh’s hands as discreetly as she could. “You make sure to be careful. I know the mistress doesn’t tell you much but remember what I told yun’s about boys.”
The moment something was pressed into her hands and the words were said Nii felt her whole face heat up. “Jonna!” She whispered harshly with embarrassment. “I assure you I won’t need..” Well, she supposed being prepared wasn’t a bad thing but she certainly had no intention of doing that! She gave a small cough and cleared her throat. “Yes, Jonna, okay.. Thank you.”
The older woman winked at her and pat her hand gently before she looked around again to make sure no one saw them. Once she was assured of that she hurried off to get back to her chores before the mistress of the estate saw her just standing around.
Niiemh was left standing with a bright red face. With a groan she hurried to her room so that she could pack. Fearing that her step mother would go through her room while she was away, the thing Jonna had given her was shoved into her bag to go along with her. She just hoped no one searched her bag!
