[video] A legitimate question

[maleenpointes]

A boy in a tight-fitting black T-shirt appears on screen and fiddles with the camera for a few minutes before it all looks satisfactory to him.

"So, um. What do you do for fun around here? Aside from going to Taurus, fighting the monster that go bump into the night and eating all the pizza you ever wanted? The jerks guarding Taurus won't let me in, there's no way I'm fighting monsters and I am getting sick of pizza.

Also, does anyone know if there's a ballet school around here? I've tried looking, but it doesn't seem very popular..."

Ballet?

Well, I know of a few places that advertise themselves as dancing clubs.

[Might be the wrong sort of dancing, all told, but Zael's never visited.]

But what did you enjoy doing back home?

[maleenpointes]

"Yes, ballet. I'm a trained ballet dancer from the Opéra de Paris." It probably didn't ring any bell for the other guy, but Sébastien liked saying it anyway because in his mind it sounded important.

"Dance clubs huh? I might wanna check that out... but, I was hoping for something other than dancing. At home I'm a student of the Opéra. All I do is study and dance. I wanna try something... different."

Well, back home, I remember the nobles enjoyed learning how to paint and draw. Others liked to create figures out of wood.

If you can dance, perhaps you're equally as able to create something with your hands.

Was he just mistaken for a noble holy crap life was good today.

"Taking up another art, huh. I think that's worth a try... Thanks, uh... your name?"

[justanoutsider]

[Perhaps not mistaken... yet. He's been here long enough to get status is more equal here than back home. But back in his world, those who were nobility had much more opportunity for leisure than those who were not.]

Most things are worth trying once, if you think it would be likely be a worthwhile opportunity.

And it's Zael. And you are?
