A bit surprised at himself about his enthusiasm (but he had been having fun) he looked down from the dais in the direction of the dinner tables while, next to him, the conversation between the Potions and Herbology professors chatted gently on, but his dance partner was nowhere to be found. Perhaps out for a walk.
His goblet was empty. Risu put it down on the table and rejoined the conversation. "Oh, perhaps you should judge for yourself, Professor," he said to Hecate with a slight smile. "Talent, I think, is a bit too grand for what I do. It's more... accident avoidance, really. In four-four time."
Next, he turned to Professor Dodson. "I'm very well, thank you. How are you? I think my partner and I passed you on the dance floor a few times?"
"Judge for myself? Are you asking me to join you on the dance floor Risu?" She smirked... "Accident avoi
dance?" she made a quirky face. "It's the first time I heard of that kind of style. Maybe you will teach me." She said and looked at the herbology professor, "but I would hate to drag you out to the dance floor. At your age, no offense, I'm sure you need time to recuperate." She lifted the pitcher on the table, holding in laughter. "More Pumpkin Juice?"

"Or rewarding. It's the same reason I go picking nightshade on my own... there is nothing more rewarding as to find the perfect ingredient and picking it with your hand." She said moving her thumb over her finger.

"Tripping? I'm sure, Sage... May I call you Sage? I'm sure you are amazing... at dancing." She smiled at him. Maybe she could befriend him... and he'd let her have the use of his stores.
