It took Hayley a few more moments to calm herself - which wasn't easy - before she spoke once more. The gentle squeeze on her hands both helped and hindered, her heart racing. The aura that surrounded wasn't dissipating at all, which wasn't helping.

"I...I don't know..." she said, which wasn't helping the situation. She gripped a little tighter onto Saranja's hand, her own hands heating up more "I am...I was...can we move out of the dance floor? I feel like I need to sit down" her voice got quieter as she spoke, and she looked down at the ground shyly not waiting for an answer as she half pulled half guided Saranja to the seats. She kissed me...Like on purpose...why?

After a few moments seated, which felt a lifetime, she spoke again. "Why?"

Hayley was enjoying the dance, and Saranja's words had filled her with even more confidence - maybe she finally found something she was good at! So as the dance slowed to a stop even with the music still going, there was a slight feeling of disappointment. Still, this song clearly was important to Saranja, so she was ok with it. She turned her head up to her friend, starting to say "oh, this is one of your fav-" she got no further as Saranja had moved in and stolen her last words with her lips.

A kiss. Hayleys first kiss. Her first reaction was panic, entirely surprised, as the whole room seemed to darken from the sheer strength and speed of the sudden flare of dread that surrounded the area around the child of Hades. As Saranja pulled back, Hayleys eyes were like saucers. "You...you kissed me..." she managed to say. Not upset, or angry, although the aura wasn't going away. The girls face was red, and she was stunned speechless. No idea how to react to this moment.

And for Saranja, she could feel eyes on her. Not from those at the dance, but from further afield and far underground. Burning eyes, watching them not with anger but with genuine curiosity to see what would unfold.

Alice frowned when she was told off, and told she was expected to carry these two. "Aye, fine. I'll look out for them" she nodded in the direction of the young twins "I cannae help them much though, my powers are pretty unique after all." She took a calm breath, and turned her frown into a more polite smile. "I'm sorry if I upset yous. Just eager to get studying and learning how to tap into more of my skills."

Hayley murmured a quiet bye to her friends, allowing herself to be guided by the blind Satyr. Which, she noted in her mind, was kind of the opposite of the poem...but Saranja had so much confidence compared to her. She admired the woman for that, although there was another blush as they stopped and she felt a hand on her side. She took a moment to study how Saranja stood, her hand position, and copied it. Resting her hand on the womans side a little higher than Saranja's was on hers, but she wasn't sure if that was right or not.

"I trust you" Hayley said quietly, adding "you've seen this future, so you must know the dance moves, right?" with a small laugh. She followed the directions that Saranja was leading, and it seemed she was actually quite agile on her feet. She moved in step well, and it didn't take long for her to be able to get into the rhythm. Hayley was a natural, and as she got the hang of it the aura of dread drifted away and her confidence started to shine through.

Is there anything players want while we wait for our beloved GM to fight off IRL and return to us? Thinking of making a little side-plot for you all, but thought I'd throw feelers out first in case you all want something (other than Alenas harem as that's happening anyway :P )

Any hope of replies from Hayley soon vanished. She heard the sound of hooves, and knew instantly who was arriving, turning quickly with a smile before her eyes widened. Saranja looked amazing! Hayley felt so plain and boring compared to the majestic woman, and she was certain everyone would agree. Then Saranja spoke...and Hayleys face turned a deep shade of red. Her aura of dread fluctuating between stronger than ever and nothing at all as the poem went on, with Saranja finishing in front of her with her hand out. She was speechless - a poem for her? She didn't deserve anything like this!

Wordlessly, she took Saranja's hand, her own hand quite hot to the touch, and held it. Looking shyly down at the ground for a few moments before she quietly said "I don't know how to dance...but um...I can try..." she peeked up at Devi and Alena, having no idea what to say to them now.

The scary Vlad offering 'a reward' for completing a course hadn't helped Becca with her confidence at all, but Jakobe speaking to her had helped her focus. She stopped shifting in and out of focus, looking at the much taller man and giving him a small smile.

"Hey...is everything ok?" she whispered quietly, trying to put on a front of confidence for the man "I'm ok. Honest. Just a little nervous." She took a deep breath, then looked to Vlad "I think we're ready. What's first?"

Alice laughed at the girl's reply, standing up and looking at her directly. "Baggage? What an excuse. There's a reason they needed to chain me up, and it ain't for me own good. It's nay a superiority complex if you actually are superior" she crossed her arms "but I should nay be surprised, you cannae know that you're talking to the last of the True Seers. So I'll let you off, as long as your brother keeps the candles away from me."

She then moved to sit a little further away from any of the floating candles, her eyes narrowing now as she watched carefully.

It was difficult to focus when candles were moving and shaking...especially when hot wax was flying around. She opened an eye when she heard a voice and frowned - clearly one of the students had no control whatsoever. Seemed like a child as well.

"Hey uh...am I in the right class? Seems the kid cannae control a simple breathing exercise, and they in the same class as someone like me?" she asked, both her eyes open now as she looked at the teacher "or am I just more advanced with my control of my talents?"
