So Elicchi says that we need to step up our game if we're gonna keep up with all the contestants and other idols out there. I think we need to go have a master course with some pros. What do you say?

[ The Liepard Lounge, the newly opened dance hall and self-proclaimed "classy establishment," located in the heart of the Theater District, was hopping that night. Boasting music that was much different from the typical fair offered by the other ball rooms around town, a new dance craze was beginning to take shape there.

The floors were packed with people, with dancing going well into the early morning. Beginners and seasoned dancers were welcome, and there were plenty of dancers willing to teach anyone looking to learn. Supposedly the Liepard Lounge was an 18+ establishment, but the bouncer seemed relatively lax on that, so long as the minors agreed not to do anything they weren't supposed to.

"Not supposed to" was left open to interpretation. ]

I can tell. You really seem relaxed when you're moving on the dance floor, even when it's a really fast dance.

[Hanayo smiles, perhaps finally relaxing a little herself.]

I've been doing it for a long time. There's nothing I'd rather be doing.

[It's good that Hanayo is relaxing. Eli shall go easy on her, for the moment]

I hope I can get as good as you someday.

[Wonder of wonders, it's easier for her to dance when she's not focusing so much on it.]

I'm not all that good, really. You can get there, you just need practice.

I hope you'll continue to work with me.

[Addressing her like a respected teacher now. Since that's pretty much what she is to Hanayo, at least as far as dance is concerned.]

Of course! You have a lot of potential, you just need to learn how to use it.

I'm glad you think so. I've been working really hard with my Pokemon.

It shows, actually. I can tell.

Really?

[Hanayo's face lights up in a big smile.]

It means a lot to hear you say that. I never thought I'd be able to seriously do this before I met all of you.

I think this has been good for all of us.

I think so too. If I hadn't met everyone, I'd still be working in the Breeding Center, singing to my Pokemon when no one was looking.

I'm glad you've found your confidence.
