[ Goran 1 ]
Suria leaving meant that Goran was once more on his own. He found himself falling back into the small garden outside of the Violet Strumaria. It was modest, but he was left alone and found a sense of peace working out there. His mother seemed content to allow him such activities, and occasionally the other dancers would come out and complement his work. They called it an oasis, and he felt pride at such acknowledgements.
Today, he worked to weed around the plants, the flowers filling the air with a gentle scent. Eventually he would need to collect the seeds for next year, because like many things the flowers didn't really too long. But that was part of the fun, learning about each flower and finding a way to bring it back stronger and brighter than the year before.

She had made it to the dancehall, she was so excited, though it looked like there was no one around at the moment so she decided to wander, following her nose led her to a garden that after the journey felt like heaven.
"Hello?" She called softly after seeing a bush rustle like someone or something was in it. Maybe whoever was out here could help her find the right place?
She looked around taking in the graceful blooms and happy looking plants. It was beautiful and very peaceful. She loved gardens.

He wasn't expecting someone to wander in his garden, at least not at this time. Most of the dancers and musicians were resting before the long evening shift. So the sound of a voice, one very unfamiliar to him, caused Goran to let out a gasp of surprise. Dropping the soil he had in his hand, he turned to stand quickly, before rubbing the dirt off on the back of his pants. He glanced around before catching sight of Tahnee, his expression growing more surprised. He had never seen her before.
"Oh...hello?" He responded with a little break in his voice. His cheeks warmed - curse puberty.

"Hi there, I'm so sorry to startle you, I uh couldnt' find anyone in the studio and well, it was an awfully long walk and well, it just looked so inviting in the garden here." She gestured lamely at the beautiful surroundings. The poor boy was busy tending to the greenery, she regreted disturbing him. "I'm sorry," she said again, sometimes she felt that it was rather obvious that she came from a tiny island in Matori. "I uh, want to learn to dance."

His bright eyes looked curiously at the girl before him, before he realized what she was saying. She was a dancer or a musican, probably. Maybe a new one looking for work or one of his mother's wayward travelers. Either way, he moved to scratch his head and brush his hands off once more time.
"It's alright. This place is pretty big." He mumbled, before clearing his throat, "Oh, my mother owns the hall. I could take you to her?"

She bowed her head in thanks. "Yes please that would be lovely." She did her best to soak in the parts of the garden she could see, if he was going to lead her out of here, she wanted to appreciate its beauty before she got to meet more people. "It is well looked after, you have a talent with plants I see." Some of the people in her family did too.

His cheeks flushed at the complement. It was one thing for the family he grew up with to notice such things, but for a stranger? Yes that was another thing and his bashful side showed. Shaking his head a moment to get out of it, he nodded once and began to lead the way.
"The hall is quite big, so it's hard to know where to enter." He commented, leading her around and out of the garden toward the main entrance. Visitors were not welcomed in the living quarters, especially when they had wayward visitors trying to acclimate to Tendaji.

She was heartily embarassed at getting lost but he was being very kind to her. "I must admit that is true, I must have picked one of the few quiet moments." She moved fluidly, grace and practice had made her lithe and strong and a sunny bright personality prevented worry from touching her face most of the time, but she was nervous despite herself, what if they already had all the talent they needed? What if they refused her? She bit her lip.

Midday was a quiet time in the hall, as most of the performers were only just waking up and preparing for the long evening. Goran enjoyed the golden hour of the morning, and often would wander about before disappearing as the rest of the building began to really come to life.
Plus, he had another garden inside in their living quarters he had taken to tending to, much to his parent's delight. Maybe it was because he was raised in the space, but he enjoyed it none the less.
Turning, he took notice of her growing a little quiet.
"My name is Goran." He said gently as they approached the entrance.

She blinked and smiled brightly. At home she was quite confident and outgoing, always happy even in dire straights. However here were she would display her coreography and dance before others well....she nearly shivered. It would get easier she had been told. She was greatful for his steady presence.
"Nice to meet you Goran, I am Tahnee." He had a very gentle presence, probably for the best that she had run into him first. "Sorry, I'm usually a bit less nervous and much more talkative, but I haven't strayed too far from home ever."

[ Goran 6 ] " Tahnee." He repeated quietly so he wouldn't forget it. Before looking closely at her as she admitted her nervousness. He had seen it before, though not too much considering most wayward souls who arrived at the hall naturally enjoyed the limelight. " It's ok. I don't mind. I mean I don't mind not being talkativeI don't really talk much..." He figured it was obvious, but she was someone new. " We have a lot of dancers here from all over. They say this place is like a second home. You get to share with another newcomer for a bit...but eventually if you stay long enough you'll get your own room."

Tahnee 6 "Well that is very cool, like a room mate situation, at least I wouldn't be alone initially, I haven't strayed too far from my family before this but my heart drove me here you know?" She figured he would understand. Passion was compelling and she felt very strongly about dance and her art. It had been a quick draw between them but she just felt so good after dancing from the physical exertion that it won out over painting. She would never stop arting though that was for certain but her career would be dance. "You have a very comforting presence, the dancers must love having you around, are you perhaps one of them too?" He seemed rather shy but perhaps when he danced it was different? Some people were like that so she was told.

[ Goran 7 ] Goran had heard such things before, though he himself hadn't quite found such a path yet. Instead, he simply nodded at her comment about following her heart as he bit his lip in uncertainty. He was still quiet as they moved forward, approaching the main entrance. He slowed down a bit, knowing that once they were inside they would most likely be swept away by one of the dancers. They loved it when a newcomer showed up. They treated them like a new doll, figuring out the best outfits, the best makeup, the best hairstyle to accent the dancer's charm. Thankfully, they had grown tired of dressing him up after he turned five and learned how to hide. At her follow-up comment, he raised a hand to scratch the back of his head where his hair met his neck. " Oh no, I'm not a dancer..." He mumbled, " I don't really participate." he added with a small smile, dancing around the complement about him being comforting. " They tried that, but I never really got the hang of it..." [

This boy was very quiet and softspoken, perhaps he would chose a shadow class like her brother Ultear who could ghost with the best of them. He was sweet to keep her company through all of this. She had never been so nervous but well, she couldn't do much about it. He seemed pretty relaxed so it couldn't be that bad here. She looked around, down hallways and felt the eary silence here, though it did seem like some noise was now emanating from ahead of them. She swallowed. "Maybe I should take a moment to collect myself before going in there, I'm not entirely sure I'm ready to face so many people." She had not known that this had been a secret fear of hers until faced with it. It was awfully disconcerting and she wondered if her cousin Kechiri ever got afraid of anything, or if it was only her own weakness. She had things to work on so she did. She knew her parents would be disappointed that she had gone to far only to chicken out at the moment of discovery. So she would do it. But just not quite yet.

He simply nodded at her comment, her hesitancy not surprising. He would have done the same thing if faces with such a situation. But he was more content with the flowers of his garden compared to the flowers of the hall.
"Take as long as you need." he added softly, glancing around and maybe a little thankful the dancers were inside still. Gave them the opportunity for privacy and pause.
