She was thinking much along the same lines as she recovered from her tumble and slowly tried to follow his motions—steps. These dances were nothing like her own tribes’, much less like the dances of the other tribes. One certainly did not hold one’s body close to their own; not because touching or closeness were frowned upon, but because... it just had never really been the way--dancing was a way to tell a story usually, a freeing experience not based on finding a mate or lover. Her culture was so very different in ways many did not understand in places like Elysian. She was quite sure they would not here.
“For your feet as well, I think,” she replied, voice laden with gentle laughter. “I appreciate that stubbornness, Maca.” She made a point of looking at his face, meeting his eyes as they moved. The urge to look down was great, but she knew enough to know that it would only cause more gracelessness.
And then she blinked in surprise at his final comment. A tease, for certain; though, not at her expense. Perhaps not. “You are a flirt,” she said gently in tamed shock that had a lilt of enjoyment; her cheeks colored just barely in a dusty hue of rose on alabaster. Not because she was embarrassed, but because people didn’t often say such things to her. Respectful things, nice things, yes. They might want her, as some of her people did, for a life partner; though, none of them ever voiced a desire so... directly. To others, but never to her. Never to the woman who was an advisor of woes, troubles, and carrier of prayers to Draco.
Should she be offended? She was not one to judge on appearance alone; it was not her way. Though, were she to judge him on his mask alone—the accent rolling along his tongue like molten caramel... she would say that there was likely much worse that he could say, things she knew well of an understood—things she had heard in the broken thoughts of other men and women who barely dared to speak them aloud in a given situation.
Instead she continued her gentle smiling, deciding to them reply to his question from earlier. “My people are, aye.” She nodded. “The north bears green fields for planting in the spring months, the south all year long, but its better for some in the winter. We travel according to the climate, location, and time of year, making certain not to overtax the land. Some crops can be stored, others not.” She shrugged. “I prefer the beaches in the south—the fish.” She sighed longingly. “The water is soothing...”
