[Both Fletchinder and Murkrow take to the teaching quickly and soon enough are dancing in step, chirps and trills of delight coming from them, sounds that please Willow for she knows they're enjoying themselves from their words of thanks to the other two. Swablu's happy chirps cause a smile to spread across her face, delighted to see the small cloudlike bird dive into the berries.

Perhaps this man isn't like others she's met, as his creatures all appear happy and healthy if Swablu's reaction is anything to speak of it. Seeing little reason to be cold in this instance, she gives the man a nod, standing up and dusting some sand off her pants. A dance she would not mind, after all dance is a thing she's done to entertain guests in her homeland. She calls out her Corvisquire, who does not wish to join in, but will guard her pack on the ground next to it.]

I see little reason not to, my birds quite enjoy this little show, and your little one there is quite delighted with the gift. I'm familiar enough with dance to catch on quickly. [A short pause, and then deciding to give her name.] Ah, you may call me Willow.

[As her words confirm, she catches on quickly and joins with the pokemon. Should Jaskier take notice of her a little closer, he'll find that Willow's ears aren't rounded like a human's, but tipped like that of an elf, showing proof that she's indeed not human.]

[Swablu drops the berries on the open ukelele case Jaskier has left on the sand and flies back but not to Jaskier's head - since Willow is joining the dance, he goes to perch on her shoulder, offering a thank you by rubbing his fluffy wing against that pointy ear.

Those pointy ears have been definitely noticed by Jaskier, and it makes him relieved to see other kind of folks are also brought here - it's not only a human problem. He's met a good amount of elves at home, and he wonders if he'll see dwarves soon too. (Or witchers.)]

Well met, Willow! You may call me Jaskier, and we thank you for the compliments. [The show is being enjoyed by both humans AND Pokémon? Now that's a success. Jaskier stands next to her to show her the next steps as their teams dance in a circle around them. He's leaving his "debut" for this day because after being here a couple of months, it means he's finally picked up enough songs for everyone to enjoy - White Wolf lyrics don't do well here. It also means he's gotten the hang of this new instrument, and so he starts playing a new jig. During the purely instrumental parts, he picks up conversation.] You mentioned being familiar enough with dance - is your hometown dance anything like the dance here? I had to re-invent my whole repertoire to fit the local arts.

[runicfeathers]

[Well hello there Swablu! Willow affectionately returns the thank you with her own scritch on one of those fluffy wings and then on the top of his head.

An elf she is not, but acceptable all the same because she doesn't disclose her true identity easily as a Phoenix.]

A pleasure Jaskier, and you're most welcome. [Seeing the creatures dance gleefully makes her happy, especially that of her two birds who've joined that are expressing their joy, enough so that it's plain to tell to those even unable to speak their language. She gives Jaskier a nod as the new music plays, the music coming to her naturally.] Ah, no, sadly. Those in Ecruteak do similar to some I've seen in my allies' homelands, but none here I've seen have the same dance as my people's. But a thing with dance, is that it knows both none and all of the languages, adapting with the music itself. A shame that I can't dance with my fire, it would add to what I performed back home.

[rollstoseduce]

[A natural indeed! Jaskier is very happy to have such a good dancer joining him today, and the Pokémon seem to be enjoying the music as well, which is a relief. As much attention as he's put in the musical arts of this world, Jaskier still hadn't been sure about how it would be received by Pokémon that weren't his team. So far it seems to be a success, and that encourages a long list of ideas for the future.

He nods along to her words, understanding perfectly what she means.]

Truer words can't possibly be spoken! Music and dance are languages any heart can learn as long as they open themselves to it. Even these lovely creatures are capable of engaging with it, which has been an incredibly delightful surprise. I would've never been able to make a horse or cat to dance along at home. [He tilts his head at her.] May I ask what "dancing with fire" entails?
