[It says something about the state of the night that she does as he instructs. She takes it as a personal challenge. She can already aim as well as Loki and strike as true as Thor. If the princes are able to dance, then so can she.

She follows his lead, but looks more like a woman on the training field than on the dance floor.]

[liugan]

[ She will never dance as well as the trickster prince, of that he is certain. She may be able to compete with them on the battlefield, best him in strength, but she chose to be a warrior and had to focus on overcoming those obstacles first. She'd set her priorities. It's her own fault she's so clumsy on the dance floor like this.

Though, at least she is willing to learn. Why she was dancing with him and not Thor was still puzzling, although perhaps his brother was in the mead again. Still, she could have said no. But they dance, and it's still awkward and he will have bruises for days, but at least it's not so embarrassing now. ]

[She keeps her chin raised, but it is a trial not to glance at her feet, or to attempt to copy the movements she sees in the couples around her. From the back of the hall, there is a loud crash followed by the familiar sound of Thor's laughter.

Sif takes some pride in the fact that her dancing does not falter.]

It would seem that your brother's night is drawing to a close.

[liugan]

[ At least it's something. He's not as embarrassed by her poor dancing skills now. The crash doesn't even unnerve him, an expected end to any night as most of their celebrations were. Loki can only scoff. ]

Perhaps you should see to it that he makes it safely to his chambers, and does not attempt to romance one of the statues along the way.

[brosif]

Are you so eager to find yourself a new partner?

[She has seen Thor romance statues. It becomes less amusing after the first twenty times.]

[liugan]

I am as eager to be anywhere not your general vicinity as I ever am.

[ But it's more fun when Loki enchants the statues to participate. ]

[brosif]

[A frown. Thor make take his brother's barbs with a laugh -- Sif is under no such obligation.]

Very well. Tell me when this tedious song finishes, and I will be on my way. They all sound the same to me.

[Yes, okay, that is incredibly amusing. But she's not going to admit it when she's annoyed with him.]

[liugan]

[ Oh, good, she's about done with this as he is. Loki remains silent until the last few chords of harps and other such notes come to a close, then he is letting go of her hand to properly, formally bow. As expected of a prince. ]

A pleasure, my lady. I hope to never dance with you again.

[ He'll have to go search for Thor now. Oaf probably would be headed to the baths to trip and drown in. ]

[brosif]

It's a favor I can surely grant.

[A curtsey, and she is out of--]

Searching for Thor is my exit strategy. Find your own.

[liugan]

[ Tch. Touchy. ]

Be my guest.

[ Fine, he'll turn around and head back to fetch himself a glass of wine. Not like he cares of Thor drowns. ]
