 As if it was that easy !
Well, maybe it was. He closed his eyes and breathed, in, out. He just had to think that Leo was Glyph, right ?
...And that Rio wasn't sitting in the back, likely laughing his a** off mentally.
Still, it seemed to help - he followed along a little less stiffly this time around.

"Better. Again."
The steps were a different, and more complicated, pattern this time. Hopefully Xun could keep up!

These steps were indeed harder, and at first the dragon king did struggle before he felt into the different 'beat' and moved along with Leo. Maybe it wasn't that hard, after all...
Well, that was up until he stepped on his tail, having forgotten about the limb and to keep it away in his concentration - sending both him and Leo tumbling toward the floor.

Leo had tried to catch Xun and stop the fall, but it was awkward since the dragon king was so much taller. When they did hit the floor he managed to take the brunt the collision. They ended up in an awkward position, but nothing seemed to be broken in Leo's case at least. He flushed and murmured something of an apology.

Love had been very good thus far, watching the lesson unfold without disturbing dragon and teacher, no matter how amusing it was. It was also sort of sweet! And seemed to be going relatively well, at least until Xun tripped over his own tail.
Though he jumped to his feet, there was nothing Rio could do to stop the ensuing fall, which looked...less than pleasant. He flinched and went to check the damage. "You two okay?"
He could be quietly amused later, when he was sure everyone was alright.

Ti Lung was currently turning a very interesting shade of purple, but otherwise looked unharmed... unless his wounded pride did count, then he was indeed wounded.
And had fallen right on top of poor Leo, through he was quick to take his weight off. "Are you okay ?" He mirrored Rio's question without noticing he had, at first, then finally did register. "I am fine. My tail hurts."
Well, no s**t. But that wasn't exactly important, and neither was anything broken.

"No real damage done." Leo coughed and sat up. The fall had knocked the wind from him and no doubt there might be a few bruises later. It was far better than it could have been.

"Good." Rio breathed a sigh of a relief and shook his head. "You about gave me a heart attack."

"I did... not mean to do that." No, really, captain obvious ?
Sigh. Finally, it occurred to him to offer Leo his hand to help him stand. "Do you want to rest a little bit ?" The fall had clearly knocked the wind out of him, at the very least.
See, if they had fallen the other way around, it wouldn't have been as much of a problem ! His larger height, as well as wings and tail, clearly made him heavier than the mortal.

"It is alright, really." He reached up to take Xun's hand, grateful for the help. "Thank you and , yes, it might be a good idea for a few minutes at least." Falls were quite common in his line of work, despite what he might admit. He was used to catching young adepts to keep them from injuring themselves.

"You two have a seat," Rio suggested, eyeing them both to make sure they were telling the truth and not hurt. "I'll go and get some drinks."

Xun Jiang nodded, and helped Leo to one of the seats before taking the one next to it, looking... well, rather embarrassed still. And the appendage who had started this whole mess to begin with was twitching at the tip, as if trying to work out some sort of hidden kink the collision had caused.

Leo looked over at Xun once he was settled. "It is hardly a think to be embarrassed over. I've had worse falls myself; one might have been what brought me here in the first place as a matter of fact." The D'Angeline chuckled, mostly for the dragon king's benefit, but didn't sound so sure on the last part. He had his own suspicions and hopes about that.

Rio was gone for a few minutes, fussing with Nashwa in the kitchen, but soon returned with a tray of tea and cookies. He placed it in the middle of the floor where everyone could reach and took a seat himself.

"You fell in here... ?" Well, mortals did end up here by all sort of means that he had heard. Portals, world-walking, and sometimes even snatched cleanly from their original worlds by unseen hands.
He nodded his thanks to Rio as he came back, and took one of the cups of tea.
He wasn't sure how much Leo knew, so he decided to not mention how his host had come here.
