Kurumi wasn’t entirely sure, but all she wanted to do right now was go hide under a rock. She would even prefer to have a conversation with Professor Lafay to being here.
“It’s…alright Selina, Gideon,” she said timidly. “I-I-I’ll just watch…learn through observation as it were…”
She took a scurried back towards the wall as fast as she could few steps backwards when…
*SQUISH*
Oh dear...that was not the ground that her heel had just landed on and she was certainly NOT pressed up against the wall. Slowly, she turned her head and her cheeks immediately went pink and she was sure her hair was doing something - mostly because she didn't want it to do anything, which clearly meant that it was.
"I-I-I-I'm so sorry!" she squeaked as she flailed about a bit. Merlin, she wasn't even dancing and she was stepping on people. Where was that rock for her to hide under?

Though the unfamiliar movements were bound to make anyone feel clumsy and uncooordinated. Gideon felt his arm tense every so slightly at her touch as Selina rested her hand on it as the Herbology professor had demonstrated at Stryker's words. He didn't know why it just felt a little odd.
Relax...its just like a hug...almost
"Its not too bad," he admitted trying to help her not feel subconscious about her height and how things looked between them with their differences. Even if it gave them both something to think about other then the fact that would be dancing with each other. "Besides...its not like I'm complaining. And my own height does contribute to everything," he added offering a small smile at her as he did his best to appear calm and not as nervous as his stomach proved to be. The guy did have to lead after all.
Selina was still in Gideon's arms when Kurumi made a few quick comments and scurried off. She turned her head, all the while not taking her hand our of Gideon's or taking her hand off of his shoulder, and called after her,
"But Kurumi, if you would just...!" But she was gone. What was so bad about the whole dancing ordeal? It was not like all three of them were going to dance together, they would take turns. Then again Selina should have expected this; Kurumi, although she had progressed much, was a very shy person in awkward situations. Perhaps it was best to just let her work it out on her own. They would talk later.
Then she turned her head back around and looked at Gideon,
"Sorry about all of the momentary confusion. Um, I'll talk to her later."
His height contributed too? She suppressed a laugh and jested,
"Yeah, I guess, but let's not think about it, alright? It just might make this whole dancing thing harder if we think about it..." However, she never got to finish her thought because Mr. Stryker started to demonstrate how they should dance together. Once he was done she looked up at Gideon and said,
"Well, um, you ready?"
