Elise barely heard Max as he spoke. Somewhere in the near-distance she understood his words. She could not reply, though. Instead she simply allowed her smile to grow to a proper grin. When the songs changed over she moved nearly seamlessly into the next dance. Even when Max took away his MP3 player, she continued to sway to a song in her head for a moment. When he spoke again, it broke the trance.<br/><br/>"Music and dance have been a part of my life since the day I was born. It is my soul," Elise replied, her voice warm. She then blinked, as if just then realizing what she was saying. When she spoke again, her words were back to being more calculated. "I appreciate the chance to dance with someone of your talent. We should do it again sometime." She paused for a moment before continuing. "You should allow me to clean and wrap your spider bite and then we should go on to our classes for the evening."
