"For a broken ankle?" Alhana asked incredulously, staring at Lilian as if she were hearing things. Ok, so she was right about her thoughts being the same as Drew's. And she could definetely see why the girl wasn't sorted into Gryffindor. "That's all that's holding you back? Haven't you ever broken anything before? You must not like dancing that much if you're letting something so silly get in the way of it." she accused after firing a few questions at the Ravenclaw.

"I love dancing," Lily shot back at Alhana, the feirce pride burning in her eyes proving every word that she said. "And yes I've broken bones before but this time it's different." She looked down. She would never be able to explain to Alhana, she would never be able to explain to anyone. Even if she tried, she'd just sound absolutely looney.

"So prove it." Alhana shot back just as quickly and then settled her tone some to a more indifferent level. She shrugged her shoulders and crossed her arms over her chest, still staring intently at Lillian. "If you're so reluctant, maybe you can't dance and you're just fooling everyone." she claimed. She might not be the best as the whole 'reverse physcology' thing, but she could sure give it a try.

"I can too dance!" Lily shouted back at her indignantly. A feirce madness burned against Alhana. How could Drew love someone like her? She had tried to be civil, she had tried so hard to be civil for Drew's sake. But to accuse her of not being able to dance? Her, who had danced her whole life? That was just mad.

"So prove it." Alhana repeated simply with another indifferent shrug of her shoulders. Burn! Come on! She knew it would eventually work. It had too. Especially if she made Lillian ticked off enough. "Provem me wrong that you can't dance. All I hear is you talking about it and no moving." she claimed, raising her eyebrows up expectantly in wait.

"Fine," Lily said, already slipping some things out of her bag. "I will prove it. Just to show you that I'm no liar." She slipped off her socks and shoes that she was wearing and pulled off her sweatshirt and jeans to reveal a red leotard. She hadn't been going to change right there. "Just give me a moment." She said, beginning to tape her feet and stretching her ankle at the same time.

Suppressing a wide smirk at how she just conned Lily into doing exactly what she was afraid of and sat back to enjoy the show. She kept the skeptical expression on her face and would until she completed her mission. "Sooo. What is the purpose of wrapping your feet in tape?" she asked curiously. She really didn't know much of anything when it came to ballet. Alhana had never been gifted in that area. The last time she tried standing on her toes like Lily certainly would she tipped over and fell on her rump.

"Lessens the blisters," Lily said as she finished one foot and switched to the other. "I mean you still get some but not as many and they're usually not as painful. Usually. If I wasn't so out of practice, my feet would be calloused but I lost that, so now they're soft and that's not good." She finished her foot and then slipped on both shoes. She sat there for a moment, trying to decide exactly what she was going to do.

Alhana nodded her head at the explanation. A few simple healing spells could always fix a blister problem if Lily recieved one today. She tapped her fingers expectantly. "Well, aren't you going to dance for me?" she asked impatiently. "Just do anything that comes to mind..." she suggested.

"Well there's a lot that comes to mind," Lily said standing up. "And for another, I don't have any music, but that's never bothered me before, so it shouldn't bother me now." Lily closed her eyes and pulled her right leg up into an Arabesque, relieved she hadn't lost all her balance. She waited a few more seconds before lowering it. She was ready to begin. That was a mere test. She began with a chassé which quickly turned into grand assemblé en tournant. When she landed she proceeded with a glissade en avant. From there she went into a balancé en avant and then a balancé en arrière and then a balancé en tournant and a balancé de côté. With a final spin, an assemblé soutenu, she stopped in front of Alhana. "I told you I could," she said defiantly.

(GAH! Too manu French ballet terms! Confusing my ignorant mind...)
Throwing up her hands in a defensive position as if to ward off the girl's defiant tone, Alhana's face cracked into a wide smile. She clapped her hands together a few times in applause, thoroughly impressed with her talent. A mischevious glint took hold of her eyes and she nodded apparaisingly. "Aye. That you did, my dear. You most certainly proved me wrong." she acknowledged, not at all bothered by the fact for once.
Mission. Accomplished.

"Now can I be done with it?" Lily asked, already sitting down and beginning to take off her shoes. "I proved to you I could, that's all I needed to do. I told you I don't dance anymore and I meant it." No matter how she loved to dance, and how much that dance made her want to dance even more, she was through with dancing forever.

Mayday! MAYDAY!
And there went Alhana's small victory. Grr, just grr. "Lies!" exclaimed the Gyrffindor. "That's a lie. If you were really through with dancing you wouldn't have been sitting in here with all of your things. What do you have to say to that? You can't just quit...that would be a waste of talent, don't you know?" she said, jabbing her finger at Lilian.

"What talent?" Lily questioned. "I've never had any talent for anything I've done. Why are you of all people trying to do this Alhana? You hate me. You want me dead. What are you trying to accomplish by this? Are you trying to make me wind up injured again? No, Alhana, I'm not listening to you."

"I'm sure that isn't true." Alhana objected to her reasoning on her talents, whatever they may be. She pursed her lips together. Why was she trying to help this girl? Maybe stopping by the Wing on the way to lunch wasn't such a bad idea. Perhaps she had a headache, or she was jinxed into being nice and helpful. It wasn't like it was against what she normally did, but Tasando was a special case.
"I don't want you dead and I don't hate you." she quickly claimed defensively. "Where on earth did you get that idea?" Alhana frowned in question.
