Thread: Some Dance to Forget (Attn: Anyone 7-28)

Reply by Jeremy Castro on July 29, 2009 at 12:41am Delete Sabre didn't know why he'd parked his car so far away from the lake tonight. Not that the car he was driving mattered much to him, he hadn't had the time lately to restore the Camaro like he had originally planned. For some reason after the night he'd had, he just felt like walking though the woods on his way to the lake. As he approached the edge of the woods he could hear music playing. It wasn't the usual type of music he'd have expected to hear, but the flute was soothing. As he grew closer he could see the form of a woman dancing. For a second her thought it could be an easy snack, but as he reached the edge of the woods he could see it was Tamas' lady friend. Rather than interrupt, he decided to just lean with his back to a tree and watch her dance until she noticed him.

Tsuritsa dropped the scarf and began to shimmy her hips quickly, arms moving a little jerkily at first, then smoothing. A flicker of a memory passed behind her eyelids, a fire, tents and many people watching the dancers; the flash of a handsome face. Eyes flying open she stumbled, shaking her head she thought, 'Any subject but that one,' and began winding as the beat changed and the stringed instruments swept over the drums.

As the beat swept her thoughts away she closed her eyes and started to sing in the old language, a sad descant to the upbeatness of the song. Her hips moving to the beat of the music and her arms moving to the beat of her singing, it took a moment to make it work, but she found the balance as she usually did, the song bringing back memories; only this time, they evoked only thought, not feeling.

Twirling, skirts flying, she soaked in the sounds of what was once her home.

Reply by Jeremy Castro on July 29, 2009 at 12:56am Delete Sabre continued to watch in silence. There was something elligant to him about the way she moved. The music to him, though old, was relaxing and he kind of felt as if all the problems he's found himself facing lately, were just put aside for a bit.

Reply by Casey Y on July 29, 2009 at 1:09am Delete The music continued to play and she continued to dance, swirling skirts and scarf where she felt like it. Sometimes she would sing, but never in English. The music got quieter, as the batteries began to die, and her singing stayed sad, though ever louder than the music.

As the little red light blinked off Tsuritsa opened her eyes and packed the music player away, wrapping it in the small red scarf she danced with. She lay down on the ground, staring up at the sky, clouds playing peek a boo with the moon and stars. The stillness was comforting, if a little lonely, though nothing she wasn't used to. She stood in one fluid motion and began to walk towards the lake, heedless of anything else in the park.

He figured if she hadn't noticed him by now, she never would, so he decided to walk up to the lake himself with long strides to catch up to her. As he reached her he said casually, "The water is usually fairly nice at this time of night."

Reply by Casey Y on July 29, 2009 at 1:18am Delete Having heard him approach, Tsuritsa feigned surprise, even speaking first in the old tongue, then switching to English, "Water is fairly nice any night," she shrugged, suggesting that it was a normal statement.

She looked out at the water and felt a longing for the ocean, not really caring which one.

Reply by Jeremy Castro on July 29, 2009 at 1:21am Delete Sabre bent down and picked up a rock, then quickly skipped it out onto the water. Figuring his icebreaker sucked, he decides to apologize for the other night, "I'm sorry about the other night. I shouldn't have acted so immaturely."

Reply by Casey Y on July 29, 2009 at 1:24am Delete Tsuritsa pinned her red gaze on him, "Which part of the other night would you be apologizing for pray tell? I would hate for you to apologize for something that you have not the slightest inkling about," she smiled, sitting by the edge of the lake and searching for a stone near enough to pick up.

Reply by Jeremy Castro on July 29, 2009 at 1:26am Delete He raises his eyebrows and laughs a little then states, "I'm not sorry about the dance. I'm sorry about using you to make Tamas jealous for hitting on my sire."
