one two three, one two three, turn.

[Some may pass by the ballroom and stop to listen and hear the orchestra music that bounced off of the walls in a melodious symphony. It was something you would yearn to dance to. Of course, Sora had no idea how to do it. The tango, that is.
He was practicing and trying his hardest to keep his feet going in the right direction, stumbling a few times.
Who was his partner?
His dog, Kai. The German shepherd had his tongue sticking out while his paws were being held on to by Sora's feeble hands, standing on its hind legs and barking a bit when Sora started laughing.
It was hard to be serious when you're practicing the tango with a dog. Nonetheless he kept trying, but maybe he needed some better instructions.]

[[ooc: Dancing to El Tango De Roxanne, feel free to teach him the tango c: ]]

... are you serious.

[imoveryouroxas.livejournal.com]

[Oh, look it's Rumpleteazer wandering into the ballroom..er, wait, no, that is Axel, dressed as Rumpleteazer. But oh..someone else here. He watches for a moment..]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[Oops. He stilled his movements, looking over at Riku with a sheepish smile until he took in the other's expression.]

Down Kai.

[The dog got back on all fours, wagging his tail while Sora laughed weakly rubbing the back of his head.]

W-What?

[timedstep.livejournal.com]

Your movements are completely off. It's a disgrace.

[... oh, and he looks very beat up. don't ask.]

o-oh god xD <3

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[What? There's a giant cat in the room, where?]

Move back Kai.

[Laughs, following his dog backwards before he caught something bright and furry from the corner of his eye. Excuse him while he gives the redhead his serious 'wtf' look.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[He shrunk from the criticism, nibbling on his lower lip.]

I-I know I can't dance...You don't have to say it's a disgrace.

[He won't ask, because he knows it's impolite-but hopefully wouldn't mind him just looking, to wonder what happened.]

/o/

[imoveryouroxas.livejournal.com]

[Yeah... He usually stays in his room but..it's easier to dance in the ball room.. ]

Sorry. I didn't know someone was in here.

[timedstep.livejournal.com]

[sigh, paces.]

Dance prodigy. Can't really help it.

[turns to him, stares him right on.]

Dance with me.

[dawnrise]

[...what in the worlds has she stumbled upon.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[...Of course, out of everyone in the dressing room he stumbles upon a dance prodigy.]

O-Oh.

[At first he just kind of stared at the prodigy, wondering if the boy was serious until that he met those eyes. He gave a small nod, trying to hide the faint blush.]

Okay.

[timedstep.livejournal.com]

... you're trying to be a guy, right?

[just looks at him.]

Weird. I always play the guy when Sora and I dance. Watch my feet, just try to avoid them.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[It talks! He was a little startled, since to him-Axel looked like a giant talking cat. But he recognized the voice, squinting to see through the stage make up.]

No need to apologize, you just kinda..scared me.

[His dog gave the redhead a glance before licking Sora's cheek.]

Kai-stop.

[Laughs.]

I don't mind company.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[He hadn't noticed her yet so he'll keep dancing with his dog just jumping around and walking backwards.]

Kai, that doesn't mean lick my hand.

[Welcome to a bored child's soul.]

[dawnrise]

... Kai?

[She has no problem making her presence known. See, she's seen Kai as a dog before, and hopes this isn't a repeat incident.]

[imoveryouroxas.livejournal.com]

[He sort of shrugged in walked in... Nice room. ]

You dance? [Because if so, it's not that great.. ]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

...What do you mean, I'm trying to be the guy?

[Again, Sora knew nothing when it came to dancing. He was surprised he hadn't fallen on his ass yet.]

You and another Sora dance together?

[So there was some chance of hope for him?]

I-I'll try.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

Nope~

[Smiles sweetly, commanding Kai to get down again so he could shrug his shoulders.]

Can't dance, but it's fun to imagine. I can dream.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[The dog's ears perked up, slipping out of Sora's grip to trot over to Riku. It wasn't, so no worries.]

Kai, wait where are you-?

[Well, he sees you now.]

Hi.

[imoveryouroxas.livejournal.com]

Hm. Or..you can get lessons.

[He bends, stretching his legs, his arms, bending over backwards into a slow, but graceful back flip.. It seems like Axel knows what he is doing. ]

[dawnrise]

[Crouches down and holds her hand out. Her gaze switches to Sora, though.]

Hey. Is this...?

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

I doubt I could get lessons in...this....place. Whoa.

[Don't mind him, he's just staring in awe from the backflip-even giving Axel a round of personal applause.]

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

[The canine sniffed the outstretched hand for only a moment before licking it affectionately. Sora was walking over, tilting his head.]

What-the real Kai? No, this is just my guard dog. I named him after Kai.

[Smiles.]

Don't worry, Kai didn't get zapped with another spell or anything.

[imoveryouroxas.livejournal.com]

I can give you one.

[He just keeps on rolling, flipping..warming up as if he were about to go on stage. Speaking without a hitch in his breath. ]

After 20 years of dance, I better be able to to teach someone.

[dawnrise]

Oh.

[Well, Kai here can have a pat on the head anyway. She's kind of relieved.]

Fitting name.

[atenderbruise.livejournal.com]

Really?

[That would be amazing!]

B-But I don't have any money to pay you for lessons..

[Even though it probably isn't needed in this place anyway, that's the usual thing you have to give for lessons. Money. lol munny.]

Twenty years...that's impressive.

[He's beyond awestruck.]
