[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.]
video } public
[This is the Public Address voice/face, in which Vin is about 10% more social adept than at other times. There's eye contact happening, and that's pretty much all you can ask.]
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 )

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.
[action]
[ He stood straight, hands up and out in a classic grip for a waltz; partnerless he stepped out, one after another, to show her the steps to see if it's anything like what she knows. ]
[action]
The beat is different.
[But not by all that much. She demonstrates a few steps similar to (but not quite the same as) a kujawiak, partnerless, keeping her eyes on him.]
[action]
[ He does love music. ]
[action]
[Briefly she wishes she knew that kind of thing - that she could transcribe it. Would Sazed make an effort to preserve that kind of thing? Would new dances and music be created in their new world, with the rest vanishing into the annals of time? She doesn't know. She probably never will.]
[Shaking her head slightly to clear it, she glances at Megamind again, having lost some of her surety.]
It is a different count, though. Four, not three. Although there are some with three.
[action]
But yes, there's.... a different count. And I've never seen that dance before.
[ He paused, and then asked: ] Have you ever seen a movie, Vin?
[action]
[But she hasn't been looking all that hard for familiar things, either. Her focus has been on the new and unknown, trying to figure out what makes Earth - all the different Earths - go, not what Scadriel had been. Elend would be doing both.]
[She starts slightly at the question, then shakes her head.]
No. Not yet. But Stark likes them. I know what they are, I just haven't seen one. There are so many I don't know where to start.
[Elend would probably go alphabetically, which just goes to show some of his ideas are dumb.]
[action]
[ He rocks on his heels, smiling; it'll be a nice distraction and an excuse not to show Christmas movies. ]
[action]
[A beat. She thinks she's probably being rude.]
Yes. I'd like that very much.
[action]
[action]
[action]
[action]
[At least, she's assuming, since she has literally no idea why there would be a whole subgenre just for children. That's weird.]
[action]
[ Because who grew up in the least normal life ever on earth? This blue jerk. ]
