"C'monnnnn, Stanly!" She encourages under her breath.

Celia's already pool like eyes go just a bit wider, worrying it's all going to fall apart and she'll have to move to another zip code, no, another OCEAN.... then? then And Stanly kisses Celia back!

Uva beams "Oh a happy story, I love those"

"Yes!" Tiny fist-pump.

Fist bump returned if it comes near uva who asks "wait, did your satyr friend just help that happen? She's awesome"

Siv agrees "they did it" telling Piper, "you're amazing"

"Piper's really cool, yeah."

"Seems like all of you are" Uva says

Blush-shrug. "Rivervale is great."

"Do they mind visiting Eshu there? "

"Not at all!"

"Chief takes Haven seriously, and the Hearth does too - you'll eat well if you come."

"Blessings on all such houses that treat guests and wanderers so" She says seriously

"Plus, of course, Bergen is beautiful country. The woods around the lake are protected, so entering them is like stepping into a book. There's this trail..." And, like dogs, Dagmar can ALSO talk about nature.

And Uva shares that interest and listens raplty. The two may never dance so caught up in talk but either way... life is good

And she does try, "Ah, would you like to dance just once? then I can tell you about the Applachain trail if you like?"

"Well... just once."

"Just once, but you'll also have to put up with my story of the clumsiest squirrel in the world" And they go out, Uva doesn't seem to care how well they dance, as long as they have fun

Dagmar talks down on her dancing, but she is an athlete and a fighter - Uva's feet are safe.

While a "party" tends to make the teenaged troll nervous, she does well enough talking to one person.

"You're good" Uva insists wtih a smile, and Dagmar notices that they kind of found a pillar to dance behind so they could get a barrier to the crowd. Others can still see them if they want but it's nice to have a barrier

It is. And it's nice to be the one to spin, vs leading.

the Eshu's feet just.. lead them to where they'd both feel unpressured

It's a nice time.

And it's just one dance, then, relutantly she says " That was the one dance, should we stop? I did promise you a clumsy squirrel story"

"Well... we could dance and talk."

"Oh yes, an Eshu's mouth and feet both run at the same time pretty easily" Uva grins and, she tells the tale of the clumsy squirrel

As they dance the world about them one of music and stories
