Time Line W/Moon+Rodeo

Mitchell smiled and gently adjusted her hand in his then placed the other on his shoulder and he set a gentle hand on her waist "Now I will move in slow steps at first then get faster as you are familiar with the steps" he said softly smiling at her "Let me know if you have any questions"

Murina was a bit taken back by his adjustment to her hand, watching what he did. Did she take it wrong? There was a wrong way to take it? The female looked to him and refocused on him. At being pulled so close to Mitchell, she wasn't sure what to do or how to react. She often was side by side with him and others, so being face to face so close felt, off. Though she listened to his words and nodded, watching his feet. "I don't think I have any questions..." She mumbled, watching them and following, not following very well.

Mitchell smiled softly as she seemed focused on the task at hand watching their feet and every so often her feet would bump into his "It's the same pattern of steps" he said softly as they moved "And you don't have to be so stiff... just move without thinking like a fig-" he paused and chuckled at himself realizing she probably didn't fight as often as he did "After a while it will seem less awkward" he offered

Loosen up. Alright. Her eyes gazed instead to his top. She looked at the weaves patterns and how it was made, each thread likely individually threaded and weaved together. The dirt and the clean parts were more noticeable. What she didn’t notice was her shoulders slowly loosing tension, her hips allowing his guidance and her feet starting to trace his steps. Her hands loosened softly from him, much less of a forceful grip and a more relaxed and calm reaction. It remained for a few seconds until she stepped on his foot again in distraction. “Oh, I’m sorry..” she instantly apologized, smiling up to him nervously and seeming to feel a bit awkward again.

Mitchell danced with her careful to watch their steps and surroundings. He glanced at her and noticed her gaze on his shirt but said nothing of it and as they danced he noticed as she began to calm down or relax for a moment her steps becoming lighter and her movements more free. He smiled at this but as she accidentally misstepped and tensed again he offered a kind smile "No worries you were doing good actually... you were not so tense you have to move smoothly there is nothing wrong with relaxing just enough to move about without moving like a stick" he teased lightly with a chuckle

"Ah, thank you." She faced away, feeling her cheeks go hot for a second. What? Why? She glared to herself about her own feelings, looking back up to him. This friendly behavior, she wished she would always have it. He had to have someone, right? She ended up thinking as she watched into his face, so when she refocused, that smile was there and threw her off a little. As they stood there, she felt her heart beating in her chest. The kids needed to be taken care of, right? The thought was a failed attempt to distract herself. Accepting the fail she took a step back.
"I think we need to get back, for the children's sake." She suddenly spoke up, turning away from Mitchel. She was so close to him for so long, and her heart was only being loud in her head.

Mitchell watched her and carefully loosened his hold so that she would not be uncomfortable as she seemed to be thinking or maybe even startled. He gently backed away when she pulled back his smile fading a little bit "Oh yes of course" he said and nodded as he began to walk with her towards the palace again "Is everything alright?"

[ShadowStarFang]

(OMG! I didn't realize I didn't reply! I'm sorry!)
Murina walked next to the guard, trying to calm herself down without letting him know anything was going on in her head. Though, the faded smile from him kind of broke her heart a little. She couldn't think like that though, she just had to repay her debt and get Timothy fully healthy, so who spring hit, they could leave. Leaving him and his family, she felt bad about, but it would be best... "Oh yes, it is. Just some absent thoughts." She admitted, smiling to him.

Mitchell sighed and walked with her quietly for a moment. He wondered what it was that was running through her head. She had seemed perfectly happy only moments ago and he wondered if it was something that he had done to cause her to change. Deciding that a change of topic may help he hesitantly spoke up "So what plans do you have for Timothy and yourself after your work term is up?" He asked partially out of curiosity and partially as a way to make conversation.

(School has a week left, I'll be hopefully replying more)
The silence was great thinking time, and she felt like she was lucky to have this time. Where would they go? His question out of the blue made her flinch, glancing over to Mitchell before watching her feet.
"I don't know..." She lied, covering up her unsure feeling. Could she, should she tell him?
