Maria, do you have a minute?

I have many! What's up?

I am so sorry, but I've been trying to get a thousand things done at once and it completely slipped my mind -- I'm going to be away overnight, tonight. Is that a problem?

Um, no! That's fine. Do you care if I have a friend over? Not--uh, for anything particularly interesting, I promise.

Not at all! Thank you. Again. It's been one of those weeks.

Yeah, same here, but hey, at least you'll get to relax today, right?

This evening, I hope.

--oh! Nicholas has gone back where he came from.

Aww, well, that's good! I bet his family's glad you took such good care of him.

*produces the note*

Apparently.

That's nice of them...Scaevola, huh?

*long, awkward pause*

Yes.

... *eyes her*

Did I mention my deeply awkward conversation with Dr Scaevola at the clinics, as he hadn't called me back before Nicholas' appointment?

Oh.

No, you did not.

Somehow, he didn't cancel our plans for today.

Well, it would've been a dick move on his part if he did. Alternates are alternates, not the same as you.

Mn, you're right. Still, I was--a little worried.

But, of course, there wasn't anything to worry about. Except whether or not I'm going to keep my pointe shoes uneaten for the rest of today.

Oh really! What are you up to, hmm?

I thought I'd make my gift today...personal. I haven't performed for anyone in at least a decade.

That is basically the cutest thing ever. He'll love it.

Well, hopefully I'm up to par.

I'm sure you will be! I miss dance classes--I don't think I started early enough to do much with it, and I didn't really go to the right places, but it was fun.

I danced all through childhood, but I dropped ballet when I was in highschool. The focus was helpful, last year, though, so I've been rebuilding my skills.

And your guy gets to reap the benefits! *mischievous look*

If he's good.
