"One, two, three. One, two, three. Step back, and--there, you have it. That's the waltz."
“I see, Agent Dawnsong.” He commented, following through withthe motions she showed. “Should we practice together then?” He asked, lookingto his side; she had been standing beside him facing the same direction andshowing him how he should stand and move.“No, it is unnecessary. There is a high chance we will bedone long before they get to the dancing portion of this gala.” She answeredlooking up at the well-dressed draenei.Rook adjusted his jacket and ran his hand down the front rowof buttons, all buttoned but the last. The lessons were over then, asdisengaging as they had been.
