"Ah really? You think so?" Einna said when Gri-Na revealed her concerns. "Hm, it might seem short if everyone will be doing full song choreography. However, even if I do create a choreography for the whole song, the second half might seem choppy or sub-par compared to what Galen Hooks made..." she contemplated the pros and cons. "Huh... I think I'm going to focus on learning the dance first, and see if I have time left over. Plus, I don't know if the dance will look good in flats, I might have to perform in heels..." Einna had become anxious about the whole ordeal again. How could she do all of this in one day?
Einna was comforted by Gri-Na's words. "Thank you," she said genuinely, grateful to have such supportive and positive friends. Although Einna was told she was bubbly and friendly, she actually had a pessimistic view on life and had to hide it behind a smile. But with Ki-Tae and Gri-Na, Einna had a feeling that no matter how many times she moped or doubted herself, they wouldn't judge her or force her into a box.
"We're splitting off to learn our dances right?" Einna answered Gri-Na's question. She nodded at what Ki-Tae had to say. "Good idea! I'll go take the right side by the windows, if thats ok with you guys. I think I'll watch the River video a few times before attempting the choreography myself. Anyways, good luck! Fighting!" She gave her friends a thumbs up before moving her stuff to the bottom right corner.
Before she did anything, Einna started stretching. She suddenly thought back to her modern dance teacher, Ms. Schroeder, who would always say if you don't warm up your muscles before dancing, they'll snap! Einna wasn't sure how truthful that statement was, but she didn't want to take any chances. She worked from head to toe, starting with stretching her neck, then arms, waist, and legs. For good measure, Einna did various yoga poses such as downward dog and bird of paradise. What's with all the animal names? Einna said to herself while stretching. Soon enough, her muscles were warmed up and she was ready to dance.
Einna took her Macbook out of her backpack and opened the Youtube video. It was easier to track the dance moves on a large screen, plus her phone battery was about to die. She took out her airpods and pressed play. The first time, Einna paid attention to the rhythm of the music, and tapped her finger to the beat. The second time, Einna shifted her gaze to the woman dancing, and noted her use of the floor space. On the third and final time, Einna concentrated on the specific dance moves and positions she would have to be in.
By now, Einna had a general gist of the dance. Let's work on the intro, and stop after the... smoke gesture? haah part? Einna said to herself. Never mind. It's been ten minutes already— I can't afford to waste anymore time. Einna connected her airpods to the Spotify website on her Mac, and took her starting position.

[No problem Firefly! I'll be having Einna learn the dance in my next post, so we can all come back at the same time.]
[Also I'd like to roll 1 stat die and 1 weight die please!]
