Part 549: Virion A

Tra-la-la-la-LAAAAAA!

Ah, if it isn't my little dancing bird. Practicing solo again, are we?

Oh, hello, Virion. I was just rehearsing the steps for this new dance. It's very... ardent.

Yet you find it difficult to do so alone. Am I correct?

Er, well, yes, actually. How did you know?

Tsk-tsk. I am your teacher! I know these things.

Well then! I shall simply have to instruct you... personally.

W-well, that would be fine, except...

Yeeeeeeeees?

Well, it's just that you're so very good! Far better than me, actually. I have two left feet! No, two left HANDS where my feet should be! So when you're close, I just... I get so nervous.

So you prefer to dance alone, then? This is your solution?

Er, yes...

Very well. As you are a fair lady, I shall respect your wishes. HOWEVER! As you dance, I shall be dancing right along with you. There is no need for hand-holding or the exchange of sultry glances! I can instruct you perfectly well from across the room.

W-would you mind?

Ha ha! My dear lady, I have done far worse in the name of far less. Shall we begin? And a one, and a two...

(Time passes)

Hee hee! You're right! It's SO much better when you have a partner! Even if the partner is spinning across the room...

'Tis a dance meant for two, my lady. That is the only way to do it justice.

Oh, Virion! I'm so glad I asked for your help!

You are not the first to utter such a sentiment.

Thanks to you, I've perfected yet another dance. I'm starting to believe I might have some talent after all.

I'm pleased that the knowledge granted by my noble pedigree could be put to use.

*Siiigh* He's soooo dreamy...

Pardon? Did you say something?

What? Who, me? Oh, gosh no! Um, but... Do you think I could maybe have another lesson soon?
