"Picketta's taught you quite a few moves," Natalie replied with a sly smile, remembering that ONE dance that Picketta had once taught Derf. Back when they were young and innocent. Those were the days.

Derf started moving and Natalie started watching, trying to follow each step he took. She even tried copying him while he did it, but those quick steps was where he lost her. She didn't really have much rhythm in her bones, so naturally she was bad at dancing and these quick bowtruckle steps. Though, it probably would have been easier if she had more than two legs.

She didn't bow down yet, but she giggled when Derf demonstrated, her hands up in front of her with her fingers spread as wide as they would go. "Do I look harmless?" she asked when Derf was finished demonstrating. Seeeee how WIDE her fingers were spread??? SO harmless.

He had been trying to think about how to get her and mooncalves together again, and had SOME ideas...though he would need a bit of time to execute anything properly. Time that, well, he wasn't sure he had unless Professor Wayland would let them both help with some nighttime assistance...that also surely meant that the Headmaster would have to write off on. So basically....doomed.

Though he wasn't thinking about that too much in the moment. He was more intent on focusing on her first attempt at a bowtruckle meeting, offering an appreciative chuckle as she spread her fingers. "The quiddity of a bowtruckle," he grinned with an approving nod just moments before Professor Wayland began speaking again to move things along.

And now Derf could hardly contain his excitement.

It was, well, obvious what would be the expected assigned roles...but Derf already knew how to lure a bowtruckle - different variety or not. So he was confident that he could accomplish this task easily, but he wasn't the only one here to learn and, well, for all his quiddities...this sixth year could pull back when it mattered to reveal a bit of a wiser version of himself. "Do you wanna try to lure the bowtruckle?" he asked while holding the box out to her.
