Queen Liza tapped his shoulder to indicate he could stand. "You are welcome." She says with a warm smile. Arching her eyebrow at the invintation than thinks on it. Yes. She did really want to see and meet her grandson. She had not rested well for many years knowing he was suffering every minute that he was with her wretched daughter and son in law. To know Arus was nothing like them was a great relief. It must have been sheer will power that led her young grandson to strive to be better than that. Many of weaker will would have broken and died inside. "I accept your invitation and will be arriving in the morning. I wish to see Arus...I have waited for this day for many years. I just wish I could have found him sooner." She said a bit sadly. "Alright you are dismissed Lord Hydewhite. You may go inform your family." She said. "I need to go prepare for tomorrow. Have a good evening Lord Hydewhite." She said as she left the room. Tomorrow could not come soon enough for this queen. Yet she did not show it at all.<br/><br/>Arus looked at Hannah and held onto her hand when hers slid into his own. He stood next to her and smiled at her. Blushing deeply and looked at her. "I really enjoyed it. It was like the piano except it was my body moving not just my fingers. I was dancing across a mental piano." He whispered to her. He noted that each girl was paired with a guy. He nodded his head. "Okay." He says softly. He listened as Madam Lolita instructed them. He clumsily lifted his leg. He soon got the hang of it and found he was very flexible. It was rather cool to find out that you might be clumsy yet you were flexible. He switched legs when instructed to do so. "Okay." He whispered back. Quite relieved to have her whispered words of encouragement. Ballet was beginning to look more and more positive. He used the mirrior with his peripheral vision and was quickly mastering the different lifts they were told to do.<br/><br/>He followed Hannah to his spot on the dance floor. He closed his eyes and listened to the music. Opening his eyes and it was almost like you could see music notes dancing around in his blue eyes. He heard and felt the music like he did when playing the piano. He looked at Hannah and nodded his head. He watched and memorized what Madam Lolita danced. He needed once or twice of correcting but he clearly had the act figured out quickly. He was willing to go the extra mile and he felt himself going into character. He moved as if he was the character. As if his very being portrayed the role he was dancing. He finished and was smiling by the end of the class. He listened and held onto Hannah's hand. His excitement showed but he didn't say anything. He let go of her hand. "Alright Hannah!"<br/><br/>Going into the shower he washed up. Dressing quickly in his regular clothes and grabbed his things. Holding them in his hand. He had just gotten about four feet from the locker room when he was shoved and his things went flying across the floor. He collided with the ground and winced in pain. Turning to see a fuming Eric there. "What is the big deal?" He asks in a trembling voice. He scooted back as a kick hit his gut. He fell back on the floor. Madam Lolita having left to check on the girls. He scrambled up and dodged the next attack. "All I did was dance...why are you so pissed about that?" He asked in a calm tone. "What are you talking about? Hannah doesn't like you. Why are you saying such things?" He asked. His eyes wide and a fist contacted with his gut. He tensed but just let the guy shove him around. "I don't get why you are hurting me..." He said. Bracing for the next blow.<br/><br/>Jared had just entered and saw the girls but his gaze went to Arus and he bolted. He practically FLEW across the dance area and caught Eric's fist. Tripping his legs out from under him. He would have bruises but no broken bones. He pinned the guy down. "You don't...hit one of my charges. This is the only warning you get." He said. A punch that blocked the fist aiming for him was all he did. Standing up and helped Arus up. Taking his things and carried them. Leading Arus away from Eric. Turning to Eric. "Next time you do something that dumbass you will get no warning. I will deal with you like anyone who was attacking Hannah or Arus. Your a dancer so I didn't break anything this time." He said in a cold voice.<br/><br/>Arus was coughing and holding his gut.  He was easily guided over to Hannah. He looked down in shame for getting beat up in front of her and Nancy.<br/><br/>Alex ran over and looked Arus over. "You okay bro?" He asked. Seeing no bad injuries.<br/><br/>Arus nodded his head. "I'll be fine. I've had worse." He said softly.<br/><br/>Alex punched his fist to his other palm. "Next time he tries that if the bodyguard don't beat me to it I'll pummel that punk. I dont' like people messing with friends of mine."<br/><br/>Arus was confused. He went from one friend to three in under twelve hours.
