[ Right... this was for her benefit, wasn't it? Mary smiles, a little ruefully, and settles back into position. It really is easier to remember the steps when someone else is there to guide her. Even when it's someone who's only just started to learn the movements himself. ]
I think I've almost got it, and I don't want to make you keep having to help me, so... [ A nod, firm. ] We can stop after this.
[oh... did he sound like he really didn't want to be there or something? he can't help but wonder, but it wasn't really his intent. roxas wants to keep helping.]
I'm glad I can help you, Mary. So... I don't mind. I don't think I'll be as good as Zara, but I'm probably better than an empty coat.
[ That just makes her flush darker-- not because of any oh my dokis, but because let's not mention dancing with a jacket ever again, okay? It's embarrassing. ]
You're definitely better than an empty coat.
[ for the record. But knowing that he seems to be happy just helping her... it makes her feel a little better about roping him into this. ]
I guess we're not gonna find out if it can happen in three weeks, then.
[he laughs a little though; the whole idea of doing that seems extreme and kinda silly.] I think I'd rather just eat ice cream for three weeks instead.

I'll try to be. But I guess as long as it works for you... that's what matters.

I can't talk to my jacket, [ Mary finally mumbles, a little huffy. So yes, of course this works for her. ]
no subject
but for all his sass, he's not interested in riling mary up when he's trying to help her. that's just rude. besides:]
It's better that we can talk to each other anyway, right?
no subject
[ But since he did tease her, she's going to comment lightly with: ]
If talking to me doesn't make you miss a step.
no subject
Oh... right. I guess it might be hard to do both. People don't usually talk when they dance, right?
no subject
[ Which would also be hard, she thinks. Especially if you were trying to concentrate on what your feet were doing. ]
no subject
[why though.]
Wouldn't it be hard to dance like that?
no subject
[ She has no idea how they do it. ]
no subject
no subject
[ NO SHE REALLY DOESN'T KNOW. ]
no subject
They'd have to be really good to do it that quickly, wouldn't they?
no subject
no subject
I wonder if it really works like that, though. Even with devotion... that still has to be hard, right? Learning something like that so fast...
no subject
[ But that's a whole lot of dancing for Roxas. ]
no subject
[he doesn't mind helping her, but that would be like doing missions every day, only with things he even less apt at.]
no subject
[ Her feet would hurt... ]

no subject
That doesn't count, Roxas. I think you'd rather eat ice cream than anything else!
