Zimzi had come up, and was smiling at Rasputina, even as she urged Derufin back to the dance. ‘Yes, please do,’ she said. ‘It’s all for fun and the pleasure of our guests.’
Derufin motioned once again to Rasputina, then was pulled harder by Zimzi. ‘You’ve left poor Uien standing by herself,’ she chided, laughing. ‘And poor Falowik has had to dance with both of us while you were gone.’
