Kain watched as what seemed to be one of the few pattern dances started. Ed and Al had essentially traded girls although all seemed to be in the same square. He couldn't believe they knew how to dance. It didn't seem like something the boys would have ever picked up but he had learned tonight that this was how the people of the town generally met their future spouse. The girls were moving inside now while the guys moved outside and made the two circles intertwine. The song picked up in loudness and pace some and the people seemed to be enjoying it more. Now he understood why so many people had copped out of the last dance early. This dance was hard. He took a look around the room and saw the rest of the team watching the boys and their partners dance. Boots smacked into the floor and made enough noise to almost provide another instrument. This seemed like the perfect way to act your age for a night. After all both those boys need it.
