[Open]

[redmare]

 Who: Chinatsu and you!
Where: Anywhere and everywhere! 
When: Last week of September to..First week of October 
What: Catchall for minor activities such as training, daily shenanigans, outings, what have you.

A. Training
Chinatsu's trying to learn to fight, whether it be hand-to-hand or with weapons. She'll approach anyone she can for a spar, or at least people she knows. She'll either train at Nekhbet's temple, or a slightly secluded but open space at the near shore.

B. Let's hang
She may be learning to fight ayakashi, but she's still a teenager. Hang out with her in the far shore, go shopping, beat up some guys bothering other girls (wait, that's still fighting), go to the arcade or eat some fast food...anything under the sun! 

She's also down to spending time in the near shore, maybe show her that there's fun stuff to do in heaven.

C. Wildcard
Open to anything and everything! Make up your own scenario and I'll play along.

[Her face is buried in her hands as he speaks. It made her wonder who else actually watched that thing. She does peer up from behind her fingers at the compliment though.]

.....You think so?

[She asks in a small voice.]

[lostinshadows]

I do.

[He gives her a smile.]

[redmare]

.....

[Well, when he puts it like that.]

...Yeah, I liked it.. I really liked it.

[She glances back at towards the window where she can see the dance couple waltzing around the room, the music muffled but still loud enough to hear from the outside.

Turning back to Lavi, she narrows her eyes.]

You can't tell people about this though, okay?

[lostinshadows]

I promise, but you shouldn't feel ashamed of it.

[A thoughtful look before he offers her his hand.]

Wanna dance with me?

[redmare]

What

[It was part question part statement. Did she hear him right?]

[lostinshadows]

Dance with me.

[redmare]

Wha--Here?!

[Chinatsu backs up, her arms up defensively.]

[lostinshadows]

Yeah, why not?

[He looks at her curiously.]

[redmare]

We're...outside? On the side of street..?

[Was he messing with her? She fidgets a bit in place, admittedly just a liiiiittle tempted.]

[lostinshadows]

Yes, and?

[Smiling at her, he offers her his hand.]

You can lead even.

[redmare]

Aren't you supposed to?

[She mutters, still reaching out to take his hand.]

We're going to look ridiculous.

[lostinshadows]

Do you trust me to lead you?

[As soon as she takes his hand, he gently pulls her closer, hand on her lip and he smiles.]

It's not like anyone could see us. The worst that can happen is that they run into us, really.

[redmare]

[She cocks an eyebrow.]

Is there a reason I shouldn't?

[She moves the hand to her upper back, right below her shoulder blades.]

[lostinshadows]

I might not be good at dancing.

[He smiles down at her.]

[redmare]

[Her lip tugs into an amused smirk, curving her back and leaning backwards automatically once his hand is in place.]

I might actually want to see that.

[lostinshadows]

Ah, how cruel, Chinatsu.

[Lavi can't help but laugh at that.]

[redmare]

[He can't always be the one being amused.

She waits for him to start. It sounds like the couple in the studio were about to start a new song too.]

[lostinshadows]

[It's fun flustering her.

But as soon as the new song starts, he finally makes a move. It's evident that while he's not the best dancer, he is smooth enough to keep in time with the song.]

[redmare]

[Well he wasn't bad, that's for sure. Chinatsu had actually started to forget where they were, but that might've been due to her own concentration. She began to focus on the song, listening to the beat, the rhythm, the feeling of the song.

Then she started to wonder, what would go with it? What matched it best? What moves expressed this song the most?

Ah, a turn here.

Unconsciously, her hip pushes against his side, forcing him to spin with her and head the other direction.]

[lostinshadows]

[She's definitely a dancer.

It's something that Lavi has picked up just from watching her dance on Hibiki's post. But it's nice to see her so focused on this, lost in a world of dance and music where she could be the star.

He turns easily with her, watching with her a gentle smile and a gleam of fond amusement in his eye.]

[redmare]

[Chinatsu hadn't even noticed that she was taking over, or that Lavi was letting her. Her body would send him cues, putting more pressure on his shoulder or tugging at his hand, leaning a certain way or pushing against him to let him know which direction she wanted to go.

Feet meeting together at this beat, pulling him up onto their toes until the next beat. Ahh, this would feel better if she were in heels.

A pivot here, then reverse spin. Ah, her back should be more curved shouldn't it? Just a bit more.]

[lostinshadows]

[Throughout it all, he's watching her closely, watching the way she'd instinctively move as they continue to dance.

At least he manages to keep up with her, not once moving out rhythm and just more than happy to let her lead.]

[redmare]

[With nothing holding her back or fighting against her, Chinatsu got into it more and more, forgetting she was even dancing with someone.

There it was again, that exhilaration. Like nothing could stop her. Even without an audience, her smile was wide and bright, all the way till the song ended.

At the final beat she leans up closer to him, opening her eyes to find his face a mere inch away from hers.]

[lostinshadows]

[When the dance comes to a stop and Chinatsu opens her eyes, Lavi gives her a smile.]

Nice moves.

[And very impressive.]

[redmare]

[Her eyes widen and she backs away. When did he get so close!? You were the one who moved]

Er..thanks.....

[She glances back awkwardly]

Crap, did I drag you around..?
