Rie laughed as Pio called her into the circle. A Shire dance, what fun! She loved to dance, and to learn new dances, and wasn't afraid of doing it on the spot in front of everyone--she always had in the past, often at her brothers' insistance. She felt like a child at her father's house again, with Talormé and Alanai (her elder brothers) pushing her into folk dances--always into the solo position, and always in front of the boy she fancied.

She watched Cami as she entered the center of the circle and began a quick, lively dance. Rie laughed and clapped her hands to the beat, carefully watching the innkeeper's feet to learn the steps. Eventually she shook her head and gave it up--she'd learn as she went, or trip trying!

To Rie's utter shock, the next person hauled into the middle of the ring was the strange Ranger whom she had approached. She watched as he tried a few halting steps, and then left. "To be sure, he didn't grow up with my brothers," she thought with a smile, and turned her thoughts back to the dance, paying no more heed to him.
