"One that doesn't know how to dance very well," Julian replied wryly, grinning. "If I trip and break a hip, just keep going without me."
Taking a seat beside Haze a tad uncomfortably, Crow cast around for an interesting topic.
"So...my name's Crow. Nice to meet you. Um...yeah. How long have you been here?" she said, inwardly cursing her lack of ability to hold interesting conversation.

Chao watched as Liam fiddled with his control panel and tilted her head as music began. Wow, he even controlled music, someday Chao was going to have to ask about that. "First holiday ever? Really?"
Reid laughed and tilted his head, "Reid glows when Reid happy?" he asked curiously, he didn't notice the glow sometimes but... well, usually he did notice it when he was happy.....

{{"Watcher". Sorry. xD}}
Rabid giggled.
"No way! I'll laugh my a** off, heal you, and THEN continue without you," she sang a few of the lyrics to the song before laughing and looking down at their feet, "You're actually not half bad. Gawd, my arms are getting tired...." She laughed again.
Ike shrugged, "Mebbeh."
Liam rolled his shoulder uncomfortably, trying to remove a bit of his shirt from the control panel lid it had gotten caught in.
"Yeah. Mei-Vaar isn't into happiness," he said, "Well, I'm not counting En Ai'aleth, but I never quite participated."

Reid looked pensive for a moment, before shrugging it off. Oh well, it wasn't like the glow hurt him after all. Looking around he caught sight of Ms. Mor'b and a new person dancing. That looked like fun.
Looking to Clemmie, Len and Ike Reid tilted his head, "dance?" he gestured to the dancefloor.
Going up on her tiptoes Chao dislodged the piece of shirt for Liam, "huh, a place that isn't into happiness? Bizarre. Well, at least you're in Gaia now, right? "

Swallowing a nervous cough and smiling to conceal the fact he was now choking on it, Julian gave a frantic nod and tried to keep up to Rabid's pace.
"Mmm." he said, blushing.
Lenore watched the glow, then turned to Clemmie.
"So, whatcha gonna do for Crimmus? Are you and Rabid and Liam and Bah gonna do anythin' special?" she asked. At Reid's question, she shrugged and nodded.
"Sure."
Twirling gracefully, Sadako gave a hoarse giggle as she and Skelly danced in tune to the music.
"You dance divinely," she said, tossing her hair back fetchingly.

"Ooh!" Ike said, 'Ike know how t'dance like dat. Kinda. Reid dance wi' Ike?" He began walking out to the dance floor, careful to not get run over.
Liam laughed slightly, "Thanks, and yeah. You were there. Did you see any happiness? At all? Gaia's pretty nifty."
"You're not so bad yourself," Skelly said, giving the best compliment he could without imploding.
"Augh," Rabid stopped abruptly and cracked her elbows before wrapping her arms around Julian's neck, "The step and sway...cheating, sure, but favourites at weddings and senior proms!" She was so out of shape, it wasn't even funny. She made a mental note to start working out again.
Clemmie smiled, "I don't think so, although Ma is planning something. She said an...an after party? A week or so from now."
Poe rolled his eyes and flew up above Curly Hair's stroller, latching onto a handle and struggling to roll her over to Little White and Point Ears...not to mention Glowy Boy and Shiny Girl.
"AWWWWWWWWWK!"
Ike turned toward Poe and the baby. He smiled and waved slightly, much more interested in dancing at the moment.

((I edited my earlier post to respond to Poe's request n.n))
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Crow. I'm Haze Wyndre, and my charge is Kalderetta Tazza Wyndre. Although her sobriquet until she matures is Retta." She never tired of that disclaimer, odd as Haze easily got bored with practically everything.
"If by 'here' you are refering to the formal function, I haven't been here long." she shrugged, "But if by 'here' you are referring to Gaia, just a few months."

"Mm, Reid dance wi' Ike," glowing warmly Reid nodded and followed after Ike, motioning for Clemmie and Len to follow and hopefully dance with one another as well.
He'd never tried dancing but it didn't look too hard.
"I have this sad little assumption that even if I can't see it there's happiness somewhere in a world," Chao shrugged, "sadly that theory is often shot down. But Gaia's happy! And we're here, so we should be happy, right?"

"Right," Liam smiled to Chao, and gave a glance toward hte growingly popular dance floor, "Can you dance?"
Ike grinned and put his hands on Reid's shoulders, the height difference making things a bit difficult.
"Okee...step wit this foot...then this one...turn like this..." he said as he demonstrated the dance Mummy had tried to teach him earlier. His tail twitched excitedly.
Clemmie crossed her arms nervously and looked to Lenore.
"Wanna dance? It's kinda fun," she said and glanced down at the baby in the stroller, "Hello, lotha uss."

"Ah. That's...very nice. Retta's adorable."
Wishing something would blow up and interrupt this rather stiff conversation, Crow crossed her legs and leaned back on the chair, balancing on its back legs.
"I've been in Gaia about seven years - been at the HQ for a couple months. My Mishap is Lenore - she's the girl with the razorblade wings over there," she said, pointing Lenore out from the gather group of children.
Wondering briefly if moshing would be considered appropriate for a Christmas party, Len jumped at the sound of something "aaaaawk"-ing.
"What th' bloody hell is that?" she asked, ruffled. Pointing at the baby, she added, "and who's she?"
Looking up at Clemmie, she grinned and curtsied.
"Sure!"
"Flatterer," Sadako chirped, fighting back another giggle.
Gallantly offering to take the lead, Julian coughed over his shoulder and caught sight of Liam and some girl talking, a bit separated from the rest of the party.
And you were making fun of me for liking Rabid? he asked Liam dryly, quirking a brow and grinning slightly.

"A little..." Chao replied slowly, follow Liam's glance to the dance floor.
Reid followed Ike's steps silently, wings flickering in and out of their sheilds as he tried to memorize the steps, "'ki...."

Liam looked slowly toward Julian, smirking with a pierced eyebrow raised. He could help purposefully invading people's minds, but accidentally hearing thoughts...that wasn't his problem. He stuck his tongue out at him and turned back to Chao.
"C'mon. It's not so hard. Just follow my lead," he smiled and offered his hand to Chao.
Ike finished showing Reid the dance and looked to him, "Ike lead, kay?"
"That's Poe. He's a Dragon Kyn," Clemmie explained, "and that's...uhm...Retta, I think the lady said."
"You bet."
Rabid gladly fell into following. She peered over Julian's shoulder at Liam. Ooooh...so it was Chao...
She turned back to Julian and was hit with a sudden, completely random question, "How different are Rijani schools than what I'm used to? Were there any proms there?" She snickered slightly as horribly inappropriate thoughts briefly crossed her mind.

Haze seemed oblivious as to what Poe was doing, she was too grateful to be talking to someone who could speak in a language she understood! She followed the direction Crow pointed, "She seems quite..." Haze meant to say thin, but remembered how several of her Silarian friends hated that word, "Delicate." she finished, her tone was friendly, if not a little anxious.
"Is she capable of flight?" She asked genuinely interested, would Retta one day sprout wings?
Retta gurgled at the sudden trip and seeming escape from Haze. She didn't really care where they were going, so long as it was away from Haze's inane chatter.

Chao's gaze flickered again to the dance floor, feeling nervousness creep into her festive mood. Oh, well, whatever. Only lived once and suchwhat. Returning the smile she took his hand.
Reid nodded to Ike, mentally repeating the dance he'd just been shown, "ki."

Ike shifted his weight slightly and took a deep breath.
"Kay...one two threes...one two threes fours..." he counted as he danced slowly, desperately wanting to not mess up in front of his best friend.
"Awwww," Clemmie said and bent down to pick Retta up. She bounced the baby on her hip. She loved children. They didn't pay much attention to her physical appearence.
"Awk!" Poe sat and watched Curly Hair carefully, his tail thumping on the floor.
"Alright," Liam said and glanced pointedly at the post in the back, "Nothing obscene?! Who made those rules up?!" He laughed slightly and lead Chao out onto the dance floor, beginning to waltz slowly and carefully, not leaving a small square area.
"It's not so hard."
