When Rie felt that finally she could dance no longer without stepping on someone's toes, she bowed out of the circle and went to get some water. (She had had her fill of ale, and her mother--for some reason or another--had always warned her against drinking ale after vigorous dancing.)
She stood and watched the dancers, clapping and cheering and laughing as they continued to dance. Then she heard a loud thump, and turned in time to see a pint glass hitting a newcomer, an Elf, squarely on the head, and Pio quickly disarming him and dragging him outside. She shook her head. "Good thing that I didn't get on her bad side," she said to herself. Then, unable to stop herself, she put her water down, cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted "Nice shot, Pio!"
