⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐀  𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐎𝐔𝐒  𝐂𝐇𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐋𝐄,⠀⠀⠀paws  remain  stippled  with  the  incriminating  remnants  of  cookie  crumbs,⠀⠀⠀scattered  across  black—and—white  fur  in  a  trail  of  edible  evidence  that  does  little  to  support  his  innocence⠀⠀[…]⠀⠀honestly,⠀⠀⠀HE'D  BEEN  LUCKY  IT  WASN’T  SHIFU  THAT  HAD  CAUGHT  HIM  THIS  TIME  AROUND.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀training  was  scheduled  to  begin  within  the  next  few  hours⠀⠀━━━⠀⠀ideally  undertaken  with  a  reasonably  full  stomach⠀⠀&.⠀⠀a  functioning  sense  of  restraint.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀naturally,⠀⠀⠀po's  stomach  had  never  demonstrated  particular  respect  for  either  concept.

Anna out of nervous chuckle towards the straight forward question, ⠀ that felt like a command from the female visitor of the Berk Isles. ⠀  ⠀ The cooper-pumpkin haired princess only danced with two people and they both had alternative motives which was to harm her older sister in one way or another but Anna knew to not cast judgement before knowing the person. ⠀  ⠀ Anna wished Elsa was right beside her as the princess didn't do well in conversations, ⠀ always talk to much when she have the chance too some of the people say, ⠀ but the blonde queen was chatting with other neighboring kingdoms so that Anna could glance at Elsa's specific blond hair sticking out like a needle in a haystack with all the nobles and merchants.

Of course, ⠀ the cooper princess loved to meet new people but almost every month or four months Arendelle hosted a ball that ⠀ ( ⠀ wasn't festival related ⠀ ) ⠀ especially after the gates were finally opened and Arendelle had no more secrets but Anna was beat to be honest.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑  𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒  𝐍𝐎𝐓  𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄.      there  is  no  tremor  of  indecision  in  her    ━━━     no  soft  uncertainty,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ NO  SOCIAL  HESITATION  CURLING  AT  THE  EDGES  OF  POSTURE  OR  BREATH.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀only  a  composed,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀almost  martial  certainty  as  she  guides  anna  into  the  current  of  the  ballroom,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀threading  her  through  slow—moving  pairs  as  though  the  floor  itself  were  a  map  already  memorized.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀music  unfurls  in  a  measured  hush;⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀soft  enough  to  let  words  linger  between  notes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀her  grip  adjusts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀firm,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀calibrated⠀⠀⠀━━━⠀⠀⠀never  unkind⠀⠀⠀/⠀⠀⠀never  indulgent  either.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀JUST  PRECISE  ENOUGH  TO  ESTABLISH  DIRECTION,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀just  steady  enough  to  demand  trust  without  asking  for  it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“⠀⠀good,⠀⠀”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀a  single  syllable⠀⠀⠀━━━⠀⠀⠀clean—edged,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀unadorned.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ALMOST  BLUNT  ENOUGH  TO  BE  MISTAKEN  FOR  DISMISSAL,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀if  not  for  the  unwavering  focus  lodged  beneath  her  gaze.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“⠀⠀means  you  won’t  overthink  it.⠀⠀”

she  initiates  the  first  step  without  ceremony.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀no  flourish,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀no such patronizing compliments meant to woo the princess⠀⠀⠀━━━⠀⠀⠀only  rhythm,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀IMPOSED  WITH  THE  QUIET  EXPECTATION  THAT  IT  WILL  BE  MET  RATHER  THAN  QUESTIONED.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀her  attention  flickers  outward  for  a  moment⠀⠀⠀━━━⠀⠀⠀the geometry  of  bodies  in  slow  orbit;⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀calculation  passing  like  shadow  beneath  skin  before  returning  to  anna.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“⠀⠀i’m  heather,⠀⠀”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀a  minimal  introduction,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀deliberate  in  it's  terseness.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“⠀⠀but  you  already  knew  that.⠀⠀”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀a  faint  exhale  follows⠀⠀⠀━━━⠀⠀⠀almost  a  scoff,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀THOUGH  SOFTENED  AT  ITS  EDGES,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀as  if  even  she  recognizes  the  absurdity  of  stating  the  obvious  aloud.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“⠀⠀and  you  don’t  need  to  dance  like  your  sister.⠀⠀”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀something  in  the  cadence  shifts  there⠀⠀⠀━━━⠀⠀⠀less  edge,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀more  dried  wry  beneath  it,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀like an obvious stated,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀albeit fondly,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“⠀⠀you  just  need  to  keep  moving.⠀⠀⠀where i'm from,⠀⠀⠀it's vital you keep doing it,⠀⠀⠀'less you get impaled after one misstep.⠀⠀”

another  seamless  step,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀CONTROLLED.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀for  someone  who  hails from a clan that prioritizes brute force to diplomacy,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀she  carries  herself  with  unnerving  fluency⠀⠀⠀━━━⠀⠀⠀motion  is  simply  another  form  of  discipline.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“⠀⠀you're  doing  fine.⠀⠀”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀lack  of  praise  nor  comfort,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀just  simple verification.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀her  eyes  narrow  slightly,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀not  in  judgment  but  adjustment,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀RECALIBRATING  THEIR  PACE  TO  MATCH  ANNA’S  HESITATION  RATHER  THAN  OVERPOWER  IT.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀a  small  smile  punctuate  as  they  draw  closer  from  momentum,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“⠀⠀and  if  you  step  wrong,⠀⠀⠀no  one  dies⠀⠀⠀━━━⠀⠀⠀that’s  already  better  than  most  places  i’ve  been.⠀⠀”

❝ It sure does sound like it, was it a rough day? ❞ Melody asked in a soft tone, a hand already gently caressing ontop of Dash's head whilst the other was wrapped up in an embrace that had been requested, much to her surprise; but regardless she welcomed her with open arms. ❝ You can tell me about it when you're ready, I'm always here to listen. ❞
