[OTA] A lovely night

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

It's a bit impromptu but anyone wandering by the Green on this warm evening will find it lit by fairy lights everywhere and a few Deck musicians have set up in one corner and are taking requests.

And right out in the middle of things, Elani can be found dancing with anyone who offers.

[ooc: yes, blame Dancing with the Stars. And Qi. But anyway...come out and dance! With Elani...or otherwise. :)]

Because Club Love is GOOD LOVE.

Hey, Rylan can get behind this. He loves an impromptu party. Particularly one that's thrown by a Club. Why? Because they were generally damn good parties. Leaning against a tree, he watches Elani dance around, pleased that there's some revelry going on, even with all the other crap that's flying about.

Eventually, Elani will dance over to Rylan, hips shaking to the beat, and a smile on her face. "Are you only going to watch, then, Ry?"

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Yep. Don't want to step on those twinkling toes, Lani. Besides, I'd slow you down." He grins back at her, enjoying her enjoyment of the moment.

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I promise to go slow just for you." And have a teasing smile, Ry.

"Why do I have a feeling there's some kind of bet going on between you and your brother regarding my dancing skills - or lack thereof?" She gets one back, followed by him reaching out and flicking away a strand of hair.

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

Elani made a face at that and poked him, "do you really think we'd bet on our friends like that?"

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Oh, it's a guarantee." He beamed back at her, giving her a gentle nudge back.

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

"Oh you do us wrong. I'm sure if Evan were over here he'd share my shock and dismay."

But her grin kind of ruins the effect of her words.

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Mmhmm. You'd both have the same mock-innocent look that would be slightly ruined by giggles, huh?"

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

"That sounds about right," she agreed with a smile. "So what can I persuade you to do, then?"

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"I'm doing it. Watching you spin around is a decent form of amusement. Besides, you do it way better than I ever could. Just convince Evan to join you and you could give a little show."

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

"I don't think Evan requires very much convincing," and of course she loved her brother for it...and many other things besides.

"But really, Ry, you don't know what you're missing."

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Don't you try to work your wiles on me with those eyes of yours, Lani. I'm wise to your wicked ways. And trust me, you do not want me clomping all over your feet."

Ignore the evil AU version of her, of course.

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

"Wicked ways? Me? Have you been talking to my evil twin?"

S'okay. I don't play in the AU verses.

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Wicked for you. Which is pulling out puppy eyes and smiles and trying to cute me into dancing."

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

She sways from foot to foot back and forth in time with the beat, "oh come on, Ry. Even you can do this."

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"You'd think so, but I'd likely find a way to mess it up."

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

"I think you're doing yourself a disservice, you know."

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Nah. I just know my limits. If we were sparring, I'd be fine, but when it comes to just moving back and forth to music..." He shrugged, accompanying it with a small smile.

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

She looked at him skeptically, "then think of it like sparring...to music."

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it's not the same, Lani. It's too... docile."

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

Now she was grinning quite mischievously. "So go dance with Evan."

Or spar to music. Whichever.

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

He's just going to give her a look.

[elani-songbird.livejournal.com]

She's just fluttering her eyelashes at him. "You don't think it's a good idea?"

[depthofduty.livejournal.com]

"You're hilarious, Lani." Another prod, this one more angled towards a spot he knows is ticklish.
