Taran returns to camp about two hours after Shiazala, a braid of grass wrapped around his wrist. Ready to take his watch for the night.

(OOC: I figure I miss out on Vishal and Dulamul, just because of timing, but if people want t do things with Taran once he returns I'm still up for more RP)

Vishal smiles and laughs a little bit once he hears that Dulamul is okay. Looking down and smiling at him Vishal says, “That’s good. I don’t think I could forgive myself if I got you accidentally injured. You’re my dance partner, I have to take good care of you.” As Vishal speaks he doesn’t realize that he hasn’t unwrapped his arms from around the shifter yet. 

Dulamul continues to turn redder. "Um...so...can I...get up now?"

It's Vishal's turn to turn a little red as he didn't realize he was still holding onto Dulamul, "Right. Yes. Sorry. Here you go." He quickly gets out as he unwraps his arms from around the shifter. 

Dulamul stands up quickly, brushing some dirt from his shirt and staring at the ground, blushing furiously.

Vishal stand up and brushes himself off as well, giving Dulamul a wide smile he tells the shifter, "Hey. Don't worry about it. Everyone trips and falls. The important thing is that you didn't get hurt and that you got back up again. So theres really no reason to be embarassed. There's no shame in falling. Especially when you have people around who are more than happy to catch you as you do." 

Dulamul nods. "O...okay," he says softly.

Shiazala gets up and makes her way quietly over to Caelius.

Caelius and anyone in the clearing not preoccupied:

Caelius:

A moment later, Shiazala runs back to her spot, where she goes back to making grass braids.

Vishal continues to smile and then asks, "Would you care to dance with me some more? It's okay if you don't want to. Or if you're tired. We can always do something else." 

Caelius readjusts the braid, making sure it doesn't fall off before smiling widely at Sulaan.

OOC: Vishal, please give me another Persuasion, because somebody's already tenuous confidence just took a hard blow

Sulaan laughs. "She does like making those. I guess it's her way of saying she likes you."

Persuasion: 24

Hesitantly, Dulamul nods. "Okay...let's try again."

Beaming at the shifter Vishal grabs his hands against and leads him back into a simple dance. Slowly activating prestidigitation he creates a slow, almost mystical like rhythm for them that is common to here in kalashtar’s music. Still holding Dulamul’s hands Vishal leads and helps him through just a slow and simple swaying like dance to the music.

Performance with Vishal's Help: 6

Dulamul isn't much better with Vishal's assistance, although he at least manages to keep his feet, more or less. After a few minutes, he stops, shaking his head. "I'm no good at this," he mumbles.

Vishal stops and looks at him and says, “You are perfectly fine. It isn’t about how good you are. It’s about how it makes you feel. This dancing isn’t to perform or entertain. It’s to try and have some fun. And as long as you’re having fun that’s all that matters.” 

Persuasion: 24

Dulamul shakes his head looking unconvinced. "I don't think this is a good idea," he says hesitantly.

Vishal's smile fade for just a second at Dulamul replies, the music stopping as well. As quickly as the smile fades it comes back full force and Vishal replies, "Okay. Well thank you for being my dance partner Dulamul. I really appreciate it and I hope for the opportunity to dance with you once again." 

Dulamul nods, flushed with embarrassment, and goes to sit back down, although he leaves his hood down this time.
