[She laughs and taps her glass into Ludger's in turn]

Cheers! To good food, company and...hm. I never had to make a toast before.

[chromatized]

How about "to new friendships"?

[ he smiles, ready to dig in ]

Not a big partier?

[fetteredwings]

Oh no, I adore parties. The glitter and the glamour. The dancing...I was just usually the one performing or
...[ She bites into her food, neat and tidy and that helps cover up her wistfulness]

And back then further, the toasts were all done by my sister or her adoring crowd.

[chromatized]

Oh, you have a sister? Are you the older or younger sibling? Did you dance together?

[ a sister act... cute ]

[fetteredwings]

We were twins. We used to dance together, but...well, she died.

[SORRY LUDGER...]

[chromatized]

Oh.

[ WELP. ]

I'm sorry, Nala. Losing family is always so hard.

Do you... mind telling me about your dances together?

[ he can't tell... does Nala want a change of subject? ]

[fetteredwings]

It has been a long time now. Honestly, my memories of her have become fuzzy and faded but she was a marvellous dancer, far superior to any before her. She would take me out to balls, and spin with me, letting me lead occasionally. There was a ball every night. It was fun. Exciting while it had lasted.

[ Nala liked dancing but where Mata seduced people with her dances, Nala enraptured them with her voice]

[chromatized]

I wish it could've lasted longer, for both of you.

[ ... ]

Still though, balls? Plural? Someone was Ms. Popular~

[fetteredwings]

[ Nala laughs ]

Oh, you know it. Everyone wanted to dance with my sister, and myself.

[chromatized]

I bet you were the stars of the night.

[ look at her, happy, laughing - how could she not be? ]

Between the two of us, I bet you could school me in dancing and partying. I didn't go out much when I was younger, and I was too busy after I graduated from school.

[fetteredwings]

Oh? [Her eyes brighten in interest] Then after dinner, shall we go for a few rounds?

[Terrible jazz music player and all. They can work with that]
