Only know you've been high when you're feelin' low, Only hate the road when you're missin' home, Only know ya love her when you let her go... And you let her go

Amaya paused and thought for awhile, "Hm, yeah when did you say that? ... Oh well." she tried to hold in her laughter but burst out sooner than later at the thought of it again, where she first met him. It did sting, bringing back memories, but she tried to leave the bad parts out for now, just to feel happy for awhile. "Oh you looked like a potato alright! Good times," she finally stopped laughing and ended with a sigh, wiping a tear away. She looked up to Cai, almost tempted to laugh all over again. "Only if you want to," she said, holding up his hands to put one around her waist and the other in her own by their side. "We can start from the easy ones! Like the waltz, you just gotta follow my steps," Amaya grinned, humming any song that came to mind and took small slow steps to the side in sets of 3s, letting Cai catch on.

Cai had burst into laughter along with Amaya. It was natural to him, and that potato was probably the most interesting thing he'd said in a while. "Well, I want to. I'm just certain you don't want broken toes today," He said with another laugh, letting her move his hands to where they needed to be for a... "Waltz? Never looked easy."But she was already humming a tune, so Cai just went with it. Thankfully, he missed all ten of Amaya's toes, even though it took a minute to catch onto the three-step movement. Soon, he was smiling and had caught on to the tune, though he hummed it rather off-key.

"Then it's settled! Psh, I'm been through fires and lightnings, a couple of broken toes won't stop me," Amaya grinned as she insisted, leaving his arm around her waist to pull her own hand onto his shoulder and began to move. "That's just cause you haven't tried it," she said, looking up to him before continuing her little tune. She went by really slowly, her finger subconsciously tapped the 3/4 beat with the hand on his shoulder. Cai was more or less getting it and it made her smile when he start to hum along, "See? You're getting it." And with that she pulled him along from their stationery position of just moving left and right in the same spot, to moving around a bigger area with the same 3 beat steps. She was used to the movement without having to look down so she took the time to just stare at Cai's face without even realising it.

Everything was going great until Amaya made the movements larger when he wasn't expecting it. His steps faltered a bit and his feet fell out of time. He made a grimace, but after a few awkward shuffle-steps, he got back in, and it was like nothing had happened. "Suuuure. Coulda given me a bit of a warning," he laughed, keeping his eyes on the two pairs of feet as if his afterlife depended on it. Then it was just them humming a tune, dancing around on the beach. Eventually, he'd settled back into the rhythm enough to feel comfortable looking away from the guiding feet. He glanced up, and there were Amaya's eyes. It was like an instinct for a smile to burst out across his face. "This is actually... really fun."

Amaya giggled softly to herself seeing Cai stumble a bit, slowing down slightly let him catch up once again. "Warnings aren't fun at all!" She stuck her tongue out at him thought he was too busy staring down at his feet to make sure they were moving in the right way. And so she just grinned and continued to hum the same tune, traveling across the beach with quite a distance. When he glanced up, she looked away, finding something else to look at as he caught her staring at him, and her catching herself as well. But she snuck a small smile when he spoke again and turned back to him, "I'm glad you find this at least fun. Wait till we get to the more exciting parts!" She slowed down their speed as she began to talk instead of hum to the tune they followed, "Y'know, I learnt to do this on my own so you could imagine how funny it be, just me pretending someone's in front, that crazy girl dancing on the beach alone," she laughed and shook her head, slightly embarrassed, but it was still a great part of her life.

"Says the girl who just nearly caused the first ever waltz-induced afterlife death," He laughed at himself for a second, but only a second before he wondered if mentioning death was a good idea. Probably not. Thankfully, Amaya kept talking. "More exciting parts? You mean that wasn't it?" he wobbled a bit as the pace slowed, but no near-death trips even came close to occurring.

"All on your own?" he smiled at the thought of Amaya alone on some beach, dancing to her own rhythm. To him, it seemed beautiful. "If I'd been there, I'd have thought more along the lines of 'Dang girl's got skill.' I mean, considering I couldn't even throw a punch without someone helping me," He laughed at himself again as he spoke. Somehow, talking had made the waltz just a bit easier to do.
