IC "Great, and let's see, so two of us know how to dance and there are six of us here, so that means we can each teach two," Norman went over and quickly divided them up. "Thad, Beau, you work with Shiva, Ives, Snow Kitty, you two with me-wait, do you know how to dance?" Norman asked as he looked over at Nathaniel as Thaddeus walked over to the boom box he had brought to play some slow music for them.

IC "Well, thanks for going shopping with me, it was nice to have someone with me today, better than spending the day alone," Delaney told him with a small smile, she had no idea where Klara had been today but it was probably nothing, so it was nice to have someone to talk to.
Mav opened his mouth and was about to respond when his smile disappeared from his face as he felt something pressed against the back of his head. "Slowly turn around and give me you money." He said angrily and Mav did as he was told, glancing toward Del.

The snow leopard shook his head. "I never had the chance to learn, I would love to learn though."
Shiva gave a small laugh at the groupings though- she didn't mind her own group as one was her brother and the other a good friend. But.... she was worried about Norman's group. A lot. Considering she was positive Ives liked Norman but Norman was dating Nathaniel and she was pretty sure Nathaniel and Ives had a quiet rivalry, she was hoping for the best.

IC Delaney was honestly a bit terrified, however she had worked hard for her money and she didn't have much of it. She gave a nod and opened up her purse. "Okay...don't shoot..." she said and instead of grabbing her money she grabbed a can of pepper spray and instantly got it out and sprayed it at him...sadly it was empty and did absolutely nothing for them.

IC Norman smiled as the music started to play. "Alright then, who wants to learn first?" He asked as he turned to his best friend and his unofficial boyfriend and Ives raised his hand, hopping over to the squirrel.
"I will, just tell me where to place my hands," Ives told him and the squirrel nodded, getting ready to help Ives place his hands on Norman's waist and offer his hand.
Meanwhile Beau sat down and gestured for Thaddeus to go first to dance with Shiva.

Shiva smiled and grabbed Thad's hand. "Okay, since I assume you would prefer to be the male here, I will do my best to teach you how to lead the dance without leading myself. Okay- now to start. Place your hands on my hips." Shiva placed her own hands on his shoulders with a smile.
Nathaniel watched Ives and Norman with a slight frown- it would have made more sense if Nathaniel went first as Ives was not going with anyone to the dance, and Norman was Nathaniel's not-quite-yet boyfriend.

IC Thaddeus nodded, feeling a bit uncomfortable because well...he had never been this close to a girl before anyways, at least other than Delaney and sisters did not count as girls....it made sense in his head. "Okay, now what?" He asked.
Ives glanced over at Thaddeus and Shiva. "We aren't doing the same dance that they are," he commented and Norman shook his head.
"No, I'm teaching you the waltz, it's different," he explained as he grabbed Ives hand and placed his other hand on the dog's shoulder. "Just be glad I'm letting you play the guy's role," he added with a small teasing smirk. "I cold make you learn the girl's role," he added and Ives looked him over for a minute.
"Kai only taught you the girl part didn't he?" He asked and Norman looked down in embarrassment.
"Well maybe...just start dancing, look down at my feet at first and try to follow the pattern, and then you can lead," he suggested and Ives quickly nodded.

"Simple really, we simply step side to side- it's a beginner's dance for slow dancing. Just some simply things to be doing after all." Her mother had taught it when she was younger- in a case where it would come in useful for a school dance or something along those lines anyway.

IC Thaddeus nodded and started to step back and forth. "Oh...okay, this is easy," he said and glanced down at his feet to make sure he was doing it right.
-
"Can I spin you around?" Ives asked, getting the hang of the dance rather quickly and Norman sent him a playful glare.
"No."
"Can I dip you?"
"No."
"Can I do any fancy dance moves?"
"No. Besides, you want to go alone, why would you need to know any fancy dance moves?" Norman asked and gave the dog a pointed look. "Is this about your 'crush' that you still won't tell me about, planning on dancing with him sometime?" He asked.
Ives shrugged. "I may want to sneak a dance sometime, would be nice to impress him," he explained, and Norman nodded along in understanding.
"...Okay, I'll let you dip me if you think you know what you're doing," Norman agreed and Ives grinned.

"Yeah... It's a beginner's dance as I've said. I'm teaching you the way my mother taught me- this it to simply help get the basis of steps down correctly." Shiva still doubted that there would really be a slow dance, but she might as well help just in case. She figured it would be more... pop music. "The position of hands now is different from the actual thing- but as I've said, this it to help you get down the step-touch- which you are doing pretty well."

IC "Thanks," Thaddeus said and looked up from his feet to smile slightly at Shiva, feeling his glasses start to fall down the bridge of his nose until they were resting at the end of his nose, he would have to push them up soon. "So do you like dancing?" He asked.
-
Ives happily did as he was told he was allowed to do and moved his hand to Norman's back and dipped him down before bringing him back up. "See, strong enough to manage that just fine Nori," he explained as the song came to an end and Norman detached himself from the collie.
"It wasn't very manly to be dipped, but you did okay," Norman agreed as he smiled up the dog.
"Is there anything manly about doing the girls part of the dance?"
"Shut up," Norman told him playfully and the dog obediently fell quiet of snarky comments for the time being.

"That's.... Well, not really actually." Shiva admitted. "Being forced to dance doesn't leave a good lasting memory on you, but I still remember it all at least." It wasn't even that bad when she was being taught how to dance, but she grew a disliking for it. Not a disliking that she would never dance again... just she didn't favor it.
Nathaniel was still frowning as he watched. He was glad it was over.

OOC I love Norman's and Shiva's different teaching styles.
Shiva: Let's start with an easy beginners dance. Norman: Let's waltz
IC Thaddeus nodded. "Oh-" he started however was cut off by Beau as the wolf walked over since the music had stopped.
"That seemed to go well," Beau commented.
-
Norman turned to Nathaniel. "Okay. You ready Snow Kitty?" He asked as Ives took a step back to let the two dance, instead he went over to his guitar and picked it up, figuring he would just hold it and watch for now.

Yeah. I figure it is based off of the way they were taught.))
"Yeah, he learns quickly!" Shiva agreed with her brother. She was curious to know what Thad was going to say about it, but she did have her brother to teach too. Since... mother didn't teach the boys what she taught Shiva as much.
--
Nathaniel grinned and jumped up, "Why yes I am, Squirrel-y." He purred out lightly. Now- Nathaniel just really hoped he did a better job at it than Ives, though unfortunately for him it meant he had to do really well.

OOC I can see that. Kai taught Norman and Kai comes off to me as a teacher who skips right to the more fancy stuff.
IC Thaddeus took a step back and looked at the two Wolff siblings before he shuffled over to join Ives, who actually seemed rather content about all of this, which still made Thaddeus wonder sometimes.
Meanwhile, Beau looked over at his sister, ready to be taught how to dance.
-
Norman smiled up at Nathaniel. "Okay Snow Kitty, I'm sure you saw Ives and I, I'm going to have you place your hands where he had, one on my waist and the other, in my hand," he went over and placed a hand on the teen's shoulder as a different slow song started.

Yeah. It's amazing though. Cause, it shows small tings that can be different depending how you were raised and by whom.))
Shiva placed her brothers hands on her hips as she moved her hands to her shoulders and began to teach her brother, just as she taught Thaddeus.
--
"Ah yes," Nathaniel said with a small nod and did as Norman instructed. He was excited to learn with Norman at least.

OOC Yeah true, it's pretty cool.
IC "So while I was off learning how to play the piano, mom taught you to dance and sing, we were raised well," he decided with a nod of his head. Beau was honestly such a mommy's boy though, so it really wasn't a surprise he would say that.
-
Norman gave a slight nod. "Okay good, now I'm going to lead at first until you get a hang of it, then you'll lead," Norman explained as he started to dance around the room, glad they had plenty of open space.

"Heh. yeah. Singing and dancing-" Both things she never really wanted to do. "She was a great teacher, I don't really know how she herself knew how to do as much as she taught us. She could be famous if she set her mind to it though." Shiva agreed.
--
Nathaniel nodded with a confident grin. He followed the steps Norman made carefully, it was simpler than it seemed to be actually- for the snow cat at least. It was just carefully moving around, being connected to another person in which both knew how to do the same thing. Mind and soul and body connected.

"Okay...don't shoot..." she said and instead of grabbing her money she grabbed a can of pepper spray and instantly got it out and sprayed it at him...sadly it was empty and did absolutely nothing for them.
The man laughed at Delaney's failed attempt at defending themselves. Mav loved it though, as it distracted the man enough for himi to swing a punch at him square in the nose, knocking him to the ground. Mav then transformed into his true wolf form and growled at the man as he got back up. He looked if anything, more angry then before.

IC "We should tell her that, maybe mom needs a little reminder of how great she is," Beau suggested, oh of course their mother could be famous, she was so good at so many things, and if Norman's brother could try and be a famous hybrid, so could his mother.
-
"Think you're ready to lead now?" Norman asked, glad to see that Nathaniel seemed to have caught on rather fast, dancing had been something fun for Norman, especially since Kai made learning some different dances, fun. He was honestly happy to share what he thought of as fun, with those he cared about.

"We should..." Kali was already so happy they were using the things she taught them for something. She was trying to urge Shiva's other brothers to specialize in something too, but she wasn't so sure what it was for each. Kali was a renaissance woman- good at so many things.
--
Nathaniel nodded lightly, as he continued to dance. "This is fun- you are a great dancer by the way," The snow leopard loved dancing with him, seeing how he moved with the leopard. It was amazing.

IC Delaney froze up, well that answered that question, Mav could definitely turn into a wolf too. She didn't know what to do and ended up just taking a step back, eyes trained on the two, unsure of what she could do but watch.

IC Beau continued on as he thought about it. "We could get Val, Joel, and Mav in it too, maybe if we all told her that we thought she could do it, she would want to," he suggested as they danced.
-
"Thanks, Kai taught me. He taught me the waltz, hip hop, and...another," one that was a bit more embarrassing to confess...seriously who wanted to admit that they knew the cha-cha? Sure it was fun and Kai confirmed that guys could enjoy it too...but still. "You're a fast learner, definitely makes for a good dancer," he told him.

"I wonder how papa would react to it. If mother became famous that is." Shiva gave a small laugh at the thought. Joshua would probably love that idea though- just like how he loved their mother. It was sweet, to see them have such a loving relationship. Shiva rarely saw such relationships between humans and hybrids.
--
"Thank you," Nathaniel was actually surprised on how well he was doing. It was his first time dancing after all. And so something like that was nice to hear- especially from someone he cared about so deeply.

IC "I bet he would like it," Beau said, sounding rather convinced, he loved his family and for the most part they were a pretty loving family. Sure Beau himself was a little...spacey, and Val was a bit rough around the edges...but they were a good family.
-
"You're doing a lot better than I had my first time," Norman continued. Though in his defense, he was thirteen, and Kai hadn't bothered to teach him the basics. "Did you want to try taking it a step further?" He asked, figuring if Nathaniel wanted to, he could teach his Snow Kitty a few more advanced moves.

The man pointed the gun at Maverick to try and scare him, and was disappointed that he didn't back down, and instead snarled. He growled and dropped the gun, as his little secret was that it wasn't loaded at all. He pulled out a knife instead and threatened them with it. Mav snapped at him angrily.

Shiva was in silent agreement after that. She barely talked to Joel- Valentino seemed to be angry with her and Beau last time she spoke to him. Maverick kept disappearing.... it was odd, and thus making Beau her closest brother. And because of band she escaped lessons with her mother- but it meant less time with her papa. And it didn't help that even at band she was still doing the basics her mother wanted her to practice everyday. Singing everyday.

"Why, that would be fun, wouldn't it? So sure, let's try!" Nathaniel purred out.

IC Beau fell quiet after that, content to focus on dancing...he much preferred the piano, and he doubted he would be doing all that much dancing at the dance anyways, but it was still fun to learn.
-
Norman nodded. "Great, let's start with the dip, since you already saw me try that with Ives, and if it goes well we can try a few others if we have time," Norman told him and looked the snow leopard over. He still didn't know what they were...they loved each other, and they kissed, but that was all he knew...maybe now would be a good time to ask.

IC Delaney finally snapped out of her daze or whatever she was in and took a step back into the action, swinging her purse at the man in an attempt to hit him with it to help make him go away.

"Ah yes. I'd like to see if I'm able to do that." The snow cat mewed out with a soft smile, caring at least. "I'm going to try that- now," he dipped the squirrel hybrid lightly with a small grin, bending slightly to allow a greater distance of the dip before bringing Norman back up with a small kiss.
He had entirely forgotten the chinchilla watching silently from the background. Who was inded taking sient notes about the entire thing.
