[Unlike during some floods, Vin isn't hiding this time - not even close. She's fascinated by the varied languages she's hearing and is scouring the ship to hear as much as possible in the time she has. Admittedly she spends a greater proportion of her time above deck, in the gardens, and in the CES than anywhere else, but the only place she doesn't visit once is Zero. Everywhere else, she's watching and listening and occasionally muttering quietly in the language of Scadriel.]

Mark's gone, you know that, but before he left he . . . mentioned dancing. Dancing lessons, specifically. We talked for a while, and I still want to do them. There's only so much I can teach, because there's only so much I know, but I can start and other people can - teach other things. Later.
I'll be on deck later this afternoon, unless there's a better space.
[And what was the other thing.]
Wear comfortable clothes.
spam } deck
[Vin is, in fact, on deck, starting at around four in the afternoon, and even if nobody shows up she will at least be practicing various calisthenic-type exercises she learned from Ham. Once a small group gathers, she'll demonstrate a few simple steps - brusquely but effectively - of very old-fashioned ballroom-ish dancing. It's pretty clear she's not the best in the world at this teaching crap, but she's an excellent dancer (in part, but not whole, because of Mistborn cheating).]
( ooc; feel free to use the second spam as a somewhat-mingly thing!! i am cool with whatever, threadjack all over the place, do your thing, xoxo )

[ Someone is fighting the December blues pretty fiercely, and he's been wrapped up in the consturction of Chris's legs that he knows he needs to see someone who isn't His dog, his inmate, the Emperor, or Chris himself. ]

Megamind. Yes?
You can move in those?
[action]
[ There's a little hop-skip step, a spin and a slide and he's abruptly a bit closer. ]
Of course I can move in them.
[action]
I see that.
You told me before you know how to dance. What kinds? What - ballroom dancing? It might not be that different. A variation on a theme. Some things are . . . strangely similar.

[ Spam - and OTA ]
And this is quite a change from last year.
He shows up looking curious and alert, not quite certain that he wants anything to do with this, but willing.]
[ Spam ]
[Which isn't to say that she doesn't soften slightly when she sees him, a familiar face, someone with whom she has a few pleasant memories. That would be a lie.]
[She bows slightly, cocking her head at him in question.]
[ Spam ]
He cocks his head, too, warming slightly at the mirrored motions, peering intently at her bow without coming much closer.]
I remember when Mark Lilly asked about dancing before. I was interested but I still have never done anything of the sort, ma'am.
[Which is, when you're Ben, the equivalent of a replying bow. Probably.]

She's a good dancer, though; she's fit and agile and flexible, and she has a better-than-human knack for watching a set of movements and reproducing them.]
...What kind of frocks did you wear for these, Vin love?
[spam]
[Well. Until the question, which is one that Vin is secretly pretty happy to answer. She shifts her weight.]
Big ones.
[A pause. Then, more honestly:]
Big ones tailored slightly smaller to hide weapons.
[spam]
Vin's remark on dresses evokes a broad grin, and she hitches her own skirt up to show the slender thigh holster with her staser.]
I always 'ave at least one bottomless pocket so I can get to it. I once got attacked at a dance by a flipping weretiger.
...well, it was at dinner, but same difference. Once we've got this one down shall we Charleston?

[Eventually he jumps down.] Remember when you hated dresses?

Yes. What's your point?
[Shut up, Kelsier. You're a butthead.]
[And she is definitely not smiling.]

[He extends a hand.] Show me how to dance. [Of course, he already knows how but he's never really seen Vin do it outside of watching from the windows at a Ball or two. And of course, practice sessions with Sazed.]

[She's not much of a dancer (her skills lately run more toward combat) but any opportunity to stretch her legs on this flying fish bowl is a good thing.]
Well, I can teach you some gymnastics tricks in return. Close, right?
spam;
[Incredibly so. She hasn't seen that many people who aren't Mistborn or Mistings in action, and she knows techniques from different places have to be vastly different.]
Have you danced before?

[And she's on the deck with a notepad of all things, as if there's going to be a lecture. Chromie mimics both the exercises and the dance, and although she's not particularly graceful or agile, she's a very determined learner.]
Like this?

[She shakes her head slightly and repeats the movement.]
Almost. Pick up your legs and you'll get it.
