Flashback Like Walking On Air (Solo)

[Volinir Orchid]

31st of Fall, 486AV An excited crowd was gathered in the cobweb tonight, though a certain seven year old Symenestra couldn't understand why for the life of him. "It's just dancing... Why am I being dragged here?" But no, everyone, even his parents, had insisted on coming to the opening night of the Fall dance. Volinir was fidgeting uncomfortably in his seat, occasionally shooting pleading looks at his parents. Why did he have to sit in place for a good two bells when he could be out exploring or doing something else exciting? It wasn't fair! "Can I pl-" Whatever Volinir was about to say was cut off by his parent's shushing. A hush fell over the audience. The dance had begun. At first, Volinir didn't see what was so special. It was just a bunch of foreigners bobbing around in a cage... And then the first of the Weavers came on. And Volinir's jaw dropped. A lithe male Sym with jet black hair soared over the stage, leading a woman representing a swan Kelvic surrogate by a length of black silk symbolizing a leash. The girl playing the swan couldn't have been much older than fourteen, the young Volinir noticed, yet she was the most entrancing of them all. While all Symenestra defied gravity to some degree, the ones on stage seemed to spit in its face and violate its sister. Their bodies seemed to act on the dictates of their will as opposed to reason, and they seemed to be able to sail twenty feet into the air with but a thought. By the end of the performance, Volinir was on the edge of his seat. Of course, the Kelvic was dragged back to the Nest. The Sym lead's sisters would have died if she wasn't, so the rationale was for Volinir. The plot line wasn't too important to him, though. Volinir was still too enamored by the fluid grace the Weavers moved with. A man's voice dragged the young Symenestra back to reality. "Enjoy the show, Volinir?" he asked in an amused tone. His dad was looking down at him, doing his best not to burst into laughter. Volinir nodded excitedly, "Mhm! Who was that girl?" The elder Orchid frowned. "I think her name was... Kanasa?" "Can I meet her?" Volinir's father blinked twice in surprise. "Um... Sure, I guess?"

THREAD AWARD!

Skills: Observation 1

Lores: Aerial Dance, Kanasa Curare dances very well

Notes: Unfortunately I couldn’t give you a lot of skill points because your PC was only watching/talking.

While your post was very well written, it was short. I would have loved to read more, maybe a conversation between Volinir and a young Kanasa Curare or a post about Volinir trying to dance.
