Meanwhile, Noelle was giving her the hard sell about the Dueling Club. "Welllll.......training together would be nice." Still Shay was hesitant. It would be good, no probably necessary, should she venture down one of her possible career paths. "I'll give it some serious thought." She would see how well she was able to manage her school work and make a decision before the sign up deadline.
When Noelle said she couldn't dance, Shay smiled. "Of course you can dance. You just haven't had the right teacher yet. I saw your kicks. You have potential Ms. Summers." Shay wasn't kidding. She could see from the way Noelle moved that she could dance. She just needed to believe that she could.
Between kicks, Shay nodded in agreement, as Noelle discussed her busy schedule. "I can imagine ", she replied. It was hard enough for her to manage her time and she didn't have half the responsibility that Noelle did. Shay's eyes lit up at the mention of baking. "I can't bake very well, but I like to eat. So.....if you ever need someone to test your baked goods, I'm your girl." When the subject turned back to her, Shay thought for a moment. "Me? Besides dancing? I like outdoorsy stuff. Back home, there's not a lot of green. So here, I like to walk outside, see the trees and the lake. It's so beautiful. Like you, I like to spend time with my friends." Unfortunately she had to leave her best friend behind, but Shay hoped she'd have lots of new ones here at Hogwarts.
Shay would think about dueling. To be honest, Noelle saw potential in the girl to be a great dueler. She had the drive and the accuracy. She could tell from Shay's kicks.
Continuing to build her momentum, Noelle hit fast and hard. "
Noo... People had tried. I just have no rhythm what so ever. Its a family trait." She was pretty sure the only one in her family that could dance would have been James. Maybe Lulu. Everyone else, no. In fact, it was a family joke that they couldn't dance.
Noelle giggled. Seemed Shay had a stomach like hers. "
Olly is my go to person for sweets. But, I do have Azura, Az as I call her, that bakes me goodies too." She would definitely share though. Especially since she was supposed to be doing good on her diet... it was easier to say that than do it.
Back home. "
So where are you from?" She asked as she tilted, eyes and attention on the dummy as she practiced higher kicks. Her breath beginning to come in short.
