Truth be told, Heath surprised even himself by agreeing to dance. It wasn't like him to put himself on the line for judgement! While Professor Gunter might see the dance floor as a no judgement zone, he doubted his classmates would feel the same way. But what could he say? He could never say no to Claudine! She brought out his confident side, and they'd already been through so much together. What was a little embarrassment among friends? He grinned back at her. "Positive."

Blink, blink. What? He didn't know the steps to any group dances! His confidence wavered, but before he could talk himself out of it, he followed Claudine and Ash onto the dance floor. Keeping his eyes on his two partners so as not to accidentally meet any judgemental stares, he copied Claudine's upper body movements and a few of Ash's moves. He even incorporated a few steps he'd picked up from plays he'd been in. A twist here, a spin there…

As he looked at the floor, a thought occurred to him. Was this going to be like one of those old Dance Dance Revolution games, only with runes on the floor instead of arrows? That was the only connection between runes and dancing he could think of!
