A Knight and Her Captain
AthinarAo'Drial Relvas, Jerall Miphas
Day 3, Evening
Slowing down as the first song was a bittersweet, melancholy, yet altogether happy song, the two Knights were the center of attention among the dancers, and Jerall loved it, blonde woman smiling and following Ao's lead. The Elf-Djinn was smiling, which was rare. It appeared that the
magic of the evening had gotten to him as well. As the first song ended, the two even got
applause, after the dancers applauded the wonderful musician. Bowing with smiles on their faces, they waited for the next song to start.
Jerall looked over at Ao, smiling. "You know, Captain... I never would've pegged you for a dancer. You're usually always so grumpy." She nudged him with her elbow as she said this, making sure he knew it was a joke.
Ao shook his head, and offered her his hand as the music began again, which she took.
"After four-hundred or so years of living, you learn these things." Raising his eyebrows, he pulled her close to his face, and leaned her over suddenly, whispering in her ear, eliciting a gasp and a blush from Jerall.
"And grumpy? I'm hurt, hurt I say." The second song was a light tune, one that led to many spins and leaps from the dancers. Ao and Jerall weren't the center of attention, rather, two elves which literally danced on air, about two feet above the deck. They didn't feel angry about this at all, in fact, they even went over and personally complimented them. The four dancers then all agreed to dance together to the next song, which was a simple, nice love song.
The dance was shorter than the preceding ones, but it was wonderful. The four traded partners constantly, the male and the female both dancing with Jerall and Ao equally, and once it had finished, they all were smiling and laughing, blonde Elves introducing themselves as Orial and Potemos, twins, and Nephilim, son and daughter of a bloodline descended from Raphael, the Archangel of Air.
Then, the fourth song began. The haunting chords and melody lead to a slow, methodical dance, with many steps to the front, back, and side, while still remaining in the same general area. It was a nice little dance.
On the last one, Ao grinned like a shark. It was time. Although it was played on the violin, Ao recognized the song as a popular club song, which Ao had danced to many times over the centuries. Letting Jerall's hand go with a wink, he said,
"I'll be right back. I've just got to school all of these kids." Jerall was somewhat confused, but she nodded and followed him, to see what he was doing.
No one except Ao knew what was coming. As the first few strains rang out across the deck of the ship, Ao just cracked his neck. Looking at him curiously, the crowd didn't know what to expect. Then, he broke out of his stillness, dancing like a king.
The crowd behind him, stunned, did nothing, until Orial, Potemos, and Jerall walked up next to him, and began dancing alongside him. It was like a music video, they were so coordinated. Dancing along with the music until the lovely little lady finished her last note, the four guests laughed, shook hands and hugged. The other dancers let out a cheer, and about a dozen or more people congratulated them on their skill. Pulling away from the group, Jerall and Ao made their way to the stage, looking up at the lovely human girl who was taking her bow.
"That was quite lovely, young lady. Might I have your name?" Ao bowed slightly to the violinist in respect of her masterful performance.
