There’s a vineyard on this island. On the other side, away from town. What the hell. Clubs, bars, hotels, a pretty fucking decent food market, and a vineyard.

Can we never leave?


Unrelated, but – turkey, ham, or both?

Oh, and I need a head count. Mashiro-san, you guys are staying through Thursday at least, right?? ...And you, Ace?

And I don't have NOODLE ARMS.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Yes you do.

Here, pay attention to how I'm doing it this time.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

HOW?

...that's the same thing I DID!

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

You do because I say you do!

No, it's not. You need to be more...CONFIDENT. You're in charge, you have to direct where she goes! And keep your eyes up, you have a habit of checking to make sure your feet are doing the right thing. Just know they are, so you don't have to worry about them.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

...that's not a reason.

I have to DIRECT--isn't that a little...I dunno. Pushy? What if she'd rather go a different way??

How am I supposed to KNOW they are if I can't see it?

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Shut up and listen to your teacher.

It's not pushy. There has to be a lead when you're dancing, otherwise both people will just do whatever they want and you'll end up tangled up and tripping over each other. It's not like you're forcing her or something weird, you just...I dunno, kind of tell her where to go with a gentle touch or by spinning her a certain way, and that way you know how to position yourself to catch her or pull her back in.

That confidence thing. And didn't I just tell you that you're doing that part well?

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Oi. At least EXPLAIN things so I'll have a REASON to listen to you, if you're gonna say stuff like that!

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

They're just...NOODLE ARMS. They're too relaxed!

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

...how's this, then?

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

...Now you look like Frankenstein.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Well, make up your mind!!

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Can't you combine noodles arms and Frankenstein and find the average??

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

How the heck am I supposed to do THAT?! I'm still not even sure what you mean by noodle arms!!

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Okay. I mean. I GET it, I guess. It just seems like a lot to-- Well. Okay. How am I supposed to practice that stuff, though? It's probably that I'm trying to lead and there's no one TO lead that's throwing me off a little.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Oh - just practice on me, geez.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

...you sure? You don't exactly look like you're a fan of that idea.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

I make an awkward girl.

I mean. I'm taller than you.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Not by MUCH.

...you are a lot taller than George, though. Well. It probably won't matter THAT much, right?

Maybe if you take off your shoes?

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

...No, I guess not. Alright, fine, I'll try it without shoes and we can see how it goes.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Oh. Right. That. ...anyway, you said "pretty good", which apparently isn't the same thing as GREAT.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

You'll hit GREAT once you've practiced more.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

I'm practicing NOW!

...see, I almost tripped that time! That's why I was trying to watch what I was doing!

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

Well no one's perfect right from the start, now are they?!

It happens, man. But if you're looking down then you can't look at your partner.

[warriorothesea.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess not.

By the time I'm doing this for REAL with a partner, I don't think I'll have to watch my feet anymore. Probably.

[serving-love.livejournal.com]

You don't have to watch them now. You have to get used to doing it without seeing them.
