"Oh dear." Melkaire muttered. She could feel the trembling hesitation in his grasp, afraid that applying too much pressure may crush the poor woman's hand. An audible gulping sound resonated from his throat, and glanced downward to his feet that utterly dwarfed her own in size. "Easy for you to say, your feet do not take up so much space!" He returned, chuckling nervously. 

Feeling her pull, he moved forward, taking a much smaller distance out of utter fear that he'd step on her toes. The trip at her hip tightened somewhat in an unknowing reaction. It only made it that much more obvious of the warrior's current emotional state. In his mind, he pondered over the irony- how could a man that faced any battle like it was his last, and remain totally focused, was struggling so with a smaller, red-haired woman that was teaching him how to dance. 

"Like this?" He asked, seeking reassurance. If this didn't end *Horribly*, he'd consider himself blessed.

Amaryllis giggled softly at him getting nervous. She thought it was cute that he cares so much about her safety of his big boots. 

"Yes, that's good. But, you need to relax more. When you get to a real dance with someone, you need to be smooth and flow easily to the music. Granted, you'd probably be more comfortable around that person. Now, we will step to your right, my left."

Amaryllis then led him to step to his right, looked up at him as she saw his nervousness. She couldn't help but feel that she was torturing this poor man, but he knew nothing of romance!

"And don't forget to breathe!" She taunted and giggled

The woman's giggles did little in aiding the ease of nervousness. Indeed, a measure of concern was afforded with each and every movement. He was all but certain a misplaced step would break a toe. He traded off from gazing at her face and to her feet as they moved, ever mindful of his steps.

"So, it is like battle, only you are not trying to drive your weapon through someone?" He inquired, trying to find a comparison that would aid in his understanding. How anyone could move so fluidly without fear of stepping on toes or knocking something over was beyond him.

He held his breath as she led his movements to the right, slightly tensing. So preoccupied with worry that he would knock something over or hurting her, he hadn't realized he was still holding his breath, until she made mention of it. He let out his exhaling breath slowly, finding rhythm in his breathing once again.

"My thanks for reminding me!" He said, still moving along with her to the music.

Amaryllis shrugged a little, then nodded. "I guess it could be put to terms like that. Dancing is like a battle to the heart. Usually, it's with someone you love and you want to show them how you feel. Or it can be just for fun, like a bonding experience." She said and smiled. 

She then moved forward, indicating for him to move back. She was silently directing him, seeing if he would catch on.
