The fact that Cal didn’t make the situation uncomfortable let Axel relax quite a bit. His shoulders fell and he let out the breath he had been holding in. The last thing he wanted was for Lee to feel embarrassed or bothered by his aggressively friendly comrade. She danced gracefully and he was able to follow along as clear as day. Humans were so fascinating and she was no different. The two danced for a while before Lee passed him off to someone else. “Of course.” He said feeling a bit embarrassed that he assumed he’d have all of her time and attention. 

Moving to the next partner he found that she wasn’t as fluid as Lee but she understood enough that they were able to do some more advanced moves with her. The curly haired young man continued on with his dancing and enjoyed his time with the new partner before they switched again. It was surprising to him how many people wanted to dance with him. Back in the heavens it was almost impossible for him to find someone to dance with him. It is nice to not feel so alone on the dance floor.

It wasn’t long before his partner was Cal. “We need to get her to the manor.” 

“I know… I just… don’t know how to breach the subject…”

“I can invite her; she’ll being okay with it, no problem.” Cal said as casually as can be with a shrug and a grin.

“No.” Axel said shaking his head, a look of worry moved across his face. “We can’t be just, straight forward about it. She wouldn’t believe it.”

“Nah…” The casual manner of Cal received an annoyed look from Axel, “She seems like an understanding and calm person, I doubt her reaction would be a problem.”

“The problem is getting her to believe it…” Axel said with a sigh as he spun her under his arm. “How would anyone in their right minds believe what we need them to believe?”

“Maybe she’s not in her right mind; she did help a guy who fell out of nowhere. She didn’t call the cops and she let him in her house. Maybe she is what we need which is why she has stars in her eyes.” As the defeated sigh left Axel’s lips, she gave him a pat on the shoulder. “And I’ll leave you to convince her to come to the manor K? Bye.” At that Cal quickly changed partners leaving Axel confused and nervous about being the one to convince her. [i]Crap…[/i]

The lessons soon ended and the two gods watched the students depart looking both tired and happy. The two gods exchanged looks with each other. Dancing wasn’t a form of happiness for them, it was typically just, well work related; so being in a situation where people were happy to dance and enjoying the activity. 

Axel shifted his weight from one foot to the other. How was he going to get her to come to the manor? He didn’t want to make her uncomfortable by surrounding her by people she didn’t know and in an unfamiliar place. But it was honestly the only place they could have an open conversation that the whole group desperately needed her to believe. “Hey Lee…” He began meekly. “What are… the chances of you doing a house call? My friends work from a collective area and really need a refresher course before our next required dance. What is the possibility of that happened?”
