H'oh? Well well. Then I guess we'll have to play then.
[But that's for later. They're polite and everything right now, dancing beautifully even. But...it's interesting to hear what he's saying. It could be fear driven, but it could just be that he's competitive. Or both.
It would be interesting to see which it is.]
It's a guess on my part. I've done some teaching before and-it's one of the things that helps both the teacher and student to know.
[ Of course, not now. This is a party that he's throwing, after all. She's probably right, in part, that it's both. Louis has a certain amount of instinct that he'll never be rid of as a deer. The part of him that is driven by that is part he fights all the time. ]
I enjoy studying, but when I can put my studies to practical use - I can become more effective. I would always enjoy the practice.
[ He'll make a mental note of it, regardless. Just so he doesn't forget the conversation that's been had. He does like to test things. See what he can get away with. ]
A magic duel? [ He seems to be considering. ] That could be a lot of fun. And good practice against another witch.

If you'd like, we can practice together sometime.

And with you? Even better.

[She promises. Maybe. Tease that she is.]
We'll do something. It'll be fun-we can even have little magic duels, if you'd like. Nothing big though, especially if we're doing it at my place.
I don't wanna clean up a big mess.

no subject
Exactly. I don't think it's common practice here, but-it'd be a bit of fun.
So not too much fire. I hope you're not a fire specialist.
no subject
Just a bit. But I'm pretty good with the other elements. Some barriers, mostly offensive magic, though.
[ He's going to get knocked on his ass. ]
no subject
[She offered him a slow grin. Yeah, she's going to kick him from here to the other side of the world. Sorry Louis.]
All right then. We'll do it sometime. This'll be fun.
no subject
Of course. How do you know how good you are if you don't put your skills to practical use?
[ Makes sense to him. ]

[And slowly, as the song comes to an end, her movements slow, with her fingers gently squeezing his hand.]
When we have time, we'll do it. Tonight, you're a little busy.
no subject
I am, though this is the type of busy I like. Thank you for dancing with me - twice.
[ Winks. ]
Until we have time again, then~
