[Dancing with Fee was supposed to be about Felix. It was about helping him get settled into the Colony at his own pace, helping him find his feet after a difficult journey, finding a little spark of his old life in a grim world. And it is about those things, but Cambie is finding that it’s also, a little bit, about her. It’s fun going over moves with someone that knows what they’re doing; after their sessions, Cambie always feels light and happy, like she’s remembering parts of who she used to be. It helps, of course, that Felix is charming company, upbeat and funny and sweet.
She’d worried that his blip with Kip might affect things, but she’s spoken with both of them, and they seem to have talked things out. More or less. She’s not as clear on the situation as she’d like to be, but as she understands it, they’ve agreed to stay out of each other’s way, and that’s fine by her. Not everyone needs to be friends, so long as they’re not at each other’s throats.
It’s only been a few sessions, but she feels like she’s hitting her stride. She’s been enjoying planning their lessons, probably putting more effort into it than is strictly necessary, and it’s half making her wish that the training here wasn’t so combat heavy. She’d sort of love to do classes for everyone like she does with Felix, focusing on core strength and muscle conditioning, but it doesn’t quite align with the Colony’s priorities.
For now, she’ll take what she can get. One on one classes are fulfilling in their own way; she gets to pour all of her focus into Felix and making sure his form is perfect. He doesn’t need much guidance; as it turns out, he really knows what he’s doing. She’s been in the auditorium for a little while already, getting things set up. The free-standing barre she’d picked up a few years ago has been set a little higher to cater to Felix’s height, and she’s done a little stretching, a couple of playlist adjustments. When Fee arrives, she is scrolling through songs to try and find the Lizzo track she has in mind -- but she stops when she sees a familiar head of blond curls, and raises one hand in an easy wave.]
Morning, Fee. What d’you reckon for today -- glutes or abs? And, possibly more importantly, Lizzo or MIKA? [She’s got a couple of options in mind, and she likes to get Felix’s input. These lessons are for him, not her, and she’d like him to benefit as much as possible from them. She generally adjusts as she goes according to what Fee is enjoying.]
