 Savvy was bounding around the clearing, anxious for Faunus to get there so the lesson could start. "What're we learnin' t'day, Mommy?" she asked, her eyes looking up at Treasure widely for the few breif moments she stood still before running off again."We're learning what we're learning," she replied with a smile, "I'll tell you when we start so I don't have to repeat myself^^" She held out an arm to scoop Savvy up as she ran past again, giggling and setting her on a shoulder to keep her still while they were waiting.

Faunus ran as fast as his legs could take him through the woods and towards the clearing. It seemed like his house was so far away from it, and he felt like he was going to keep Savvy and her mom waiting. He smiled as he pushed through some bushes and saw them in the clearing. He ran over and sat down near Treasures feet, looking up and waving sheepishly at Savvy. "Hi!"

"Hi!" Savvy waved back, scrambling to get off of her mother's shoulder and back to the ground. Finally being set down my her mother, she bounced in a little circle before sitting down next to Faunus and looking up at her mother. Her tail flickered excitedly, but other than that it appeared she had calmed down a little, "We's gonna start now, right?"
"Aye^^" Treasure replied with a little hello wave to Faunus, "Since we have a new likkle waltzer today we'll start by going over the basics again." She straightened and held her arms out in front of her with her hands tilted to the side, "This is called open position, which is how you will stay throughout most of the dance. We'll start with the American Waltz since it is a bit slower, and then if things go well we might be able to move intostarting the true Viennese Waltz." She smiled, waiting to make sure that both Faunus and Savvy had understood her.

Faunus looked over and smiled at Savvy before looking up and watching Treasure talk. He nodded his head lightly as he listened before mimicking open position as he sat. He had no idea what either of the dances were, but he could try to get them.

Savvy nodded and sat up to hold herself in open position as well. Her tail still wiggled excitedly, her back paws eager to get moving.
Seeing that her two little students had understood what she had said, she lifted her arms to explain the rest of the beginning steps. "Most waltzes center around a 3/4 beat and a motion between the two dancers that twirls. Some go into 2 so the steps go faster, but we wont be doing that," she continued, realizing she could have left out the last bit, "It focuses on a continuous three step motion." She started with a small bow, as if she were meeting with someone in a ballroom, then began to dance. "The rythm stays the same, the whole time," she said, her feet gliding in a circle with the same three steps, "One, two, three, one, two, three..."

Faunus stood up after Savvy did and continued to hold his open position. It wasn't that good of one, but it wasn't terrible either. He watched Treasure for a moment before trying to get the steps. He fell down, got back up to try again, and fell again.

Treasure smiled gently, "It takes a little time to get the steps right and figure out the balance." She paused in her dance to watch the little ones, having never had four legs, she really didn't know anything about trying to switch from four to two.
Savvy giggled, twirling around. "If ye pull up yer tail and hold yer shoulders back a little more it get's easier," she said, her arms swaying to the steps as she counted in her head and moved closer to watch Faunus find his balance. Pulling her tail up made her look rather like a squirrel, but she didn't really know what a squirrel was, so couldn't make the comparisan.

Faunus listened to Treasure and Savvy before standing up again, this time mimicking how she held her tail. He found it a lot easier to keep his balance like that and was soon able to do the steps without falling down. He smiled.

(Should we just end this one since they're teens now and the whole thing with Michel is starting up? We can keep it going if you want, just to give it a proper finish and let them have the fun little memory^^)
Her smile widening, Treasure clapped, "Very good! We'll make a waltzer out of you yet!^^" She resumed her own dance, adding some twirls and a fancy side step with her imaginary partner.
Savvy laughed and sat down to watch Faunus and her mother each dancing. Her gaze lingered on her mother for a bit before she remarked, "I think she went off to Neverland again... It'll be a while before we get her back with us." XD

(I don't really care either way. xP I'll stop if you don't want to do it anymore)
Faunus attempted a twirl, loosing his balance and falling over in the process. He rolled over closer to Savvy and cocked his head. "Neverland?"
