Class Reunion

[Bazaar]

Collei:It’s so nice to be in the city for a change!

Cyno:Is that right? It can get rather tiresome.

Tighnari:And noisy.

Collei:You two are just downers… I mean look!

A giant crowd claps and cheers several feet away as music plays.

Cyno:Nilou is probably preforming.

Collei:Wow. I don’t know if I could handle that many people watching me. Nilou sure had a talent for it.

Nilou:*walks up* That’s nice of you to say.

The trio turns their head to see the dancer sipping out of a straw with Aether standing beside her with his own drink.

Tighnari:…What are you doing?

Aether:Watching the performance and having smoothies.

Collei:Okay…but who’s causing the crowd!?

Nilou smiles and hands the girl her drink. Gracefully, she sways and dips further away towards the crowd which opens up for her. Collei and Cyno’s brain stop working as they realize the person dancing is Lisa. The academic beauty is completely at peace as she charms the crowd deliberate and serpent like hip sways that roll up her body as she twirls to the music. It doesn’t take long before she makes eye contact with the group of friends.

Tighnari:Isn’t that-

Cyno:Yes.

Collei:What is she doing here!?

Aether:Long story. A shorter story is her winking at me and Nilou then saying “I’m gonna show you something you’ll never see outside the city.” Then proceeded to drop jaws.

Tighnari:You seem fine.

Aether:You missed the part where they both thought it would be funny to dance in a circle around me. I was panicking inside.

Collei:Hehe, I should tell Amber that.

Aether:You underestimate how gay your hero is. She knows what Lisa is all about.

Cyno:Is it gay if it’s Lisa? She’s always been like this. The fact she remembers the moves despite rarely showing up to the class speaks volumes.

Collei:…The Akademia has a dance class?

Tighnari:Pfft, they’d never make an official class. It’s more like an unspoken yet quite mandatory election. So many people come to Sumeru to take knowledge, memorizing traditional dances and music that are deeply rooted in this land’s culture is preservation and in a way, a fee.

Cyno: “You shall not learn what only what you want and take with you the knowledge you desired. You will leave with more. You will leave with Sumeru itself to share.” It’s one of the better rules. I’ve seen even the proudest of Inazuman’s become enriched in our culture as if they lived here their entire life.

Aether:That’s pretty cool. Wait, so you two know how to dance?

Tighnari:Absolutely not.

Cyno:What’s dancing?

If only denial was that easy. It might’ve been if Lisa wasn’t there. The Librarian of Mondstadt had slowly been dancing her way over until Cyno could no longer ignore her. Many who didn’t know their relationship were both shocked and flustered as Lisa gently brushed his bang out of his face, keeping her eyes locked on his like I viper. Their were inches between them yet she dared to swing her hips like rolling waves with a smug grin before slowly walking backwards while curling her finger for him to follow.

Peer pressure doesn’t mean anything to Cyno. He’s as calm as they come, yet somehow Lisa always managed to pull invisible strings. The man let out a sigh as he smirked. He listed to the heavy beat of the drums, moving his hips with power and accuracy as he joined Lisa. They still haven’t broke eye contact! Meanwhile even Tighnari was left speechless. Lisa truly was powerful!

Cyno:Always something whenever you’re around.

Lisa:You always were my favorite dance partner. Just like old times.

Cyno:Except you’re sober.

Lisa:Hahaha~

Tighnari:I’ve seen it all now.

Aether and Collei:We haven’t…

Tighnari:…*red* No.

Collei:Please Master! I’ll even join if you teach me!

Tighnari:What happened to never wanting this kind of attention!?

Collei:When’s the last time anything has looked this fun! Our friends are here and I feel great! Why watch!? *eyes sparkling*

Aether:(Tiny Amber…) You’re not gonna deny your precious student a core memory and learning experience are you?

Tighnari:I…The song is almost over anyways.

The tempo suddenly increases. An outburst of cheer suddenly comes from a second group of people moving towards the center to join. As it opens up, Nilou claps excitedly as Kaveh joins in with flair to add to their party. His movements were more like Lisa’s, grand and flowing. Lisa may have even challenged him if she didn’t get distracted by the pure joy that was Tighnari holding Collei by the hand as they joined her and Cyno. The Forest Ranger was already attracting eyes with the way his tail swayed with the beat.

Lisa:Well look who it is! You really are feeling better.

Collei:Just promise not to laugh okay?

Lisa:I would never!

Cyno:Glad you could join us.

Tighnari:Hush.

Aether slowly turns to look at the entrance Kaveh came in. Al Haitham is watching in disbelief. For a moment, they lock eyes. Al Haitham promptly turns around and leaves the Bazaar. Aether expected nothing less, yet somehow he was still disappointed. He didn’t get much time to feel that way. Nilou had gotten close again to take his hand and drag him to the middle.

Aether:Wait!

Nilou:Nuh uh. Show me your moves. I taught you a little.

Aether:Nilou, these hips do in fact lie.

Nilou:I’ll make them talk.

He folded immediately. Some battles you don’t win. Nilou wasn’t particularly familiar with what must’ve been taught in the school, but that didn’t matter. Music was her life and following the beat was her job. The dancer not only had the most control, but was admittedly a bit of a show off. Each beat was in synch with the isolated movement she gave her left hip, using it to guide the rest of her actions as she focused on Aether. He could see Lisa trying not to giggle at him as he did tamer, yet joyful movements. It’s not that he was bad, Aether just knew he was out his depth. Still, Nilou was more than happy to share this moment with him and everyone else.

Paimon: *takes pictures* Hehehe, blackmail…

Katheryne:Take some for me too.

Paimon:!? Nahida?

Katheryne:Shh *smiles* Just a friendly face enjoying the moment.

he's the new boy my brain started firing shots for.
