And somewhere , a flu chimera in jar feels it's missing a great opportunity if it weren't TRAPPED in the... really the craftsmanship on those petals is mesmerizing.

A sip

"chomp-pa." She takes the offered bite.

Music plays as Vernon, Elvis impersonator Satyr,, plays the ballad version of 'a whole lotta shaken going on'

"Ooo! A sock-hop!" She scoots out from the booth. "Wompalongs are scared away by dancing."

"Oh I don't knoww , I'm not a gooddancer" The troll says

"Don't need to be, you just need to shake it like a polaroid picture." She tugs on his hand.

Sheepishly, he gets up on his feet and starts dancing with her .At first he's a bit stiff, but soon, with the music so infectious and all,he loosens up.

Emma is no dancer of great skill, but plenty of bounce. "Twist!"

Indeed! The troll is not great, but he doesn't mash her feet, and he gets into the swing of it! Others start to join in around the restaurant as 'Elvis' jams

Emma twists and shakes and mashed-potatoes!

Oswald tries the robot! The big blue robot

The pooka giggles and joins in!

The electric slide and the 'were wolf side to side' from Thriller may get tried too!

Macarena!

He laughs and does a pretty good version of that "my mom loves that one"

Trolls have moms? Who knew?

"I will tell her how stupendous you are at it!"

"She'll do the troll gloat" he says voice low enough so no mortal hears the 'kith' talk. "you know, that light nod of 'very good- as you were supposed to have before now' "

"Oh, mothers! How they like to gloat. Would she gloat about this?" She pecks him on the cheek.

"no..." smile "but I might" A blush then the light nod and he says "Very good..." a wink

"You better!" She grins, and shimmies on.

He counters by means of a patented Adam West 'Bat Dance'.. mind yoou, it's not HIS Patent

Walking like an Egyptian!

The dancing will go on as the crowd gets more into dancing than eating (But at least they work up an appetite)

And finally, as the two grow tired, Oswald will pick her up swing her around one time in his arms and sit her down to their perhaps now melted shakes

That said, he smiles "Thanks I... that was fun."

"That was... utterly mediocre! Tres boring!" A soft huff of frustration.

"Well, in my defense" he says mock seriously "I am a whiter shade of blue" but then his lip twitches "Glad you liked I.."

"you two want replacements on the house?" The sister of the set, the boggan offers for their shakes

"Ooooo..."

"I'll take that as a yes" She smiles and gets them two new ones, 'Always nice to see folks liven the place up now and then."

"And every other tuesday?"

"I'd be good with that," Vernon grins, his elvis curl threatening to cover one eye

"Wll, Oz, you heard the man. We're trapped! Tuesdays forevermore!"

"Well, like knights picking flowers somebody's got to do it" Oswald smiles.

"We'll muddle through, somehow." A dramatic sigh, hand on her forehead.

"It's our lot in life" Giving a good CP30 impersionation

and a slight nudge

more laughter, banter, sharing of stories, and star wars impersonations go on. He is actually WOWED by Her Vader take.
