Dance with me! by Frank-A-Lanka on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

The whole inn was lit up and full of laughter and music. Rebekah giggled as her Mama twirled her around with the music. Rebekah loved dancing. She always twirled and skipped when she could. She especially liked it when Rake:ni's sailors would play music for her down at the docks.

But, the happy music coming from Uncle Terry and Uncle Norris' instruments were more fun to dance to.

The dance came to an end and Rebekah squealed when Mama picked her up and twirled her around. "I think you should ask Rake:ni to dance with you," Mama whispered in her ear.

Rebekah nodded in agreement and raced over to where Rake:ni was standing. She held her hands behind her back and rocked on her heels as she waited for him to finish talking to Uncle Dave.

Somehow, someway, her Rake:ni knew she was there, despite the loud crowd of people and the new song playing. He sent a warm smile down to her before turning his attention back to Uncle Dave.

Finally, he stopped talking and crouched down, reaching forward and taking her hand in his big one. "What do you need, Bekah?"

"I want Rake:ni to dance with me!"

Rake:ni stared at her for a moment before grinning and standing up. "Lead the way."

Rebekah wanted to jump with glee. Dancing with Rake:ni was the best. They reached the open dance floor and Rebekah eagerly placed her own little feet on her Rake:ni's big ones. The music started and Rebekah beamed as he began to move them around, letting her hold on to his hands.

She just couldn't stop smiling.

I used to do this with my dad at weddings and things such as that. So, I decided to throw Connor and Rebekah into that situation.
