Janius looked up at the sky and probably spent more time than he needed to thinking about how to answer. The question made him think how lucky Kaleeth was to live in a community that didn't have to put up with nobility. Janius took a slow breath and began, "Put simply, rich people are those who have more money in their possession than they need. They wear extravagant clothes, eat decadent meals, live in huge houses and castles, employ servants, but they aren't good for much. Not many of them anyway. They have this social etiquette, this set of formalities and good manners, which I always found irritating because it had all these strange rules." Janius picked up a twig stuck in the river bed and held one it forward as if he was holding a fork in the proper manner, "...like holding your knife and fork in the right way when you eat, always bow, always stand up from your seat whenever a woman enters the room. I didn't really see the point." Janius tossed the twig over his shoulder, "I was tutored to act like one because I was going to inherit my parents' money when they died, but that didn't end up happening. It's not really my life though."

Recalling other memories, Janius looked into the water in front of him and watched the rippling reflections, "There was one thing I did like, however. Often, rich people would have gatherings where they would get into formation and dance gracefully to soft music. Here..." Janius started to motion to get up and helped Kaleeth upright, taking both her hands as they stood. Moving while almost shin deep in the water might be difficult, but Janius wanted to try. He placed Kaleeth's right hand on his shoulder and placed his left hand on her waist, then took her left hand in his right hand, "We'll try it slowly. Follow my feet with yours, keeping them opposite each other." It took a little while for the dance to come back to the forefront of his memory, but once it did, Janius slowly moved his foot in the first step. It was of one of the simplest dances he remembered. The water resisted and made noise as he forced his ankle through it, but he continued with the next steps, allowing Kaleeth to keep up. Keeping balance on in the silty riverbed was becoming quite the feat while they held each other.
