[shenhe seems amused by the title, but like - when it starts, she takes a step or two back, and then holds out her hands, in a sort of impish way. playful.
[ she jumps, a little, not expecting the opening chord to just start like that- but it's only a passing second, because she's more focused on shenhe, and that alluring, impish presence.
she takes her hands. let's dance. nahri is gonna get her to shake those hips yet. ]
nahri takes her hands, and her heart jumps in her chest, and she can't help but smile, the flatness of her eyes changing to something breathlessly alive. she isn't sure how to dance, not really, but she's seen people do it, and she is, if anything, good at mimicking.
so - she dances, swaying to the beat, twisting her body back and forth, never letting go of nahri's hands. it's fun, and she's surprised, a little, at how much it is.]
[ anyone can dance. it's movement, plain and simple; expression without words.
her heart lights up to see her dance, and he laughs again, bubbly and warm. she lied a little, about not knowing how before - more like she isn't very good at it. but as she's come to learn in her time with shenhe, she doesn't have to be the best. she just has to be her. and that is enough.
she encourages her to move and twist, a gentle guide of her arms to turn here, twist there. she wishes the song were longer, because she doesn't want to stop. not when shenhe has finally found a way to express herself, even though it's new and strange - she's trying, and nahri adores her and how much she tries and the strength in her conviction to do things. this time, there's no worry about restraint or what she lacks, she can simply be. they can both simply be.
and that is enough. it's enough to find happiness here with her.
