She disengages immediately.

"You're pretty good."

"So're you! That's the best challenge I've had in years."

Permalink

"I do practice on my own a bit."

"I'd say more than a bit... You adapted pretty quickly to what I was doing, too."

"You dance well."

"Never thought of it as dancing... Which sounds like its own kind of fun to do with you."

Permalink

"If you don't listen, how will you know?"

"It's beautiful." Soft smile.

Permalink

"So are you."

Permalink

She giggles. "I think I have a favorite sort of song, now - anything you're singing." Sly grin. "Though I'd still rather give you new things to sing about."

Permalink

"You'll have to keep living, then."

Permalink

"Forever if I can manage it."

Permalink

"Fair."

Permalink

She grins and stretches a bit. "Do you have more food?" she asks.

Permalink

"Some, yes. You're hungry again already?"

Permalink

"A good fight always makes me a bit hungry."
