Maisey was stalking around looking at everything, moving things and then moving them back like she was considering interior decoration. Ianto knew she was bored. There was nothing he could think of to tell her to do that might occupy her so he decided to just wing it, putting on some music then stepping back as Ton came to life, crowing as he started to dance about with silly motions while declaring this song a 'doozy' with glee.
Soon all the kids were dancing. Badly. Maisey giggled and started to as well. My gods, she was a natural. She was graceful, refines and when the song finished Imp sat at the piano and started to play something for her, everyone now watching as she danced, Ianto recording it to send to the boys to show she was fine. She was so cute.
"Needs a tutu" Ton muttered disappearing and returning with one of his that he shoved on her and of course had one on as well. She was now used to him touching her, no longer shying away from him. So … it looked like a swan and a hippo dancing but both of the thought they looked terrific which is all that mattered.
Afterwards they sat on the sofa panting while Ianto made foodage for them all, declaring Ton and Maisey the most amazing dancing pair he had ever seen. True I guess. Then Jack caught the tail end and demanded dance-off. The kids then sat entranced as Jack and Ianto waltzed, even a dip at the end. Not bad given Ianto's bad back but Jack was pretty in the red dress and it did sort of call for one.
Cheering and clapping.
A text message that Curtis was amazed by both Jack's ability to 'fill' the dress and his daughter's talent.
Ianto made a mental note to look ingot some dance lessons for her while Ton calmly began some tai-chi. Ianto was not so sure on that one but I guess anything is a step up from rushing at someone to bite them like a little dog.
A rabid one.
Oh well.
She was happy. Didn't' miss Curtis or Walt one bit…yet
