Chako still wasn't quite sure how she ended up becoming friends with Doggo.

Like... Yeah, they met at that strange place with Trinity... And then at that strange labyrinth simulacrum thingy and... Now they're buddies adventuring together!? When did they jump to that step!?

It's not like Chako was unhappy about it though. Quite the opposite, in fact. She was very glad, especially because she was still kinda scared of going out on her own, so having Doggo and Dynamax dragging her around was a good way of pushing her towards exploring.

But today was not an exploring day! Today was a day of introducing Doggo to the most amazing pro dancer ever! Ruby! Chako was really excited about it! She didn't mention Ruby's name yet, as she felt like Ruby could introduce herself, but she was really happy setting up this meeting after she heard from Doggo that she actually knew how to dance, just not the same dance they did back in that labyrinth simulacrum thingy.

So, Chako happily chatted with Doggo as they headed to the meeting spot in Honeyhome, "You're gonna be awed once you see what she can do, she is like, sooo incredible! She taught me so much! I couldn't even move my legs properly when I first arrived in Arcia, you know? But now look at me! I'm dancing! It's all thanks to her!" Chako even blushed a bit when thinking of the times dancing together with Ruby... It was a bit embarrassing, but not in a bad way.

It was kinda like... Like as if she was dancing with mom! Ruby just gave off that nice, gentle, caring and understanding feeling that Chako's mom gave her. It was a feeling like no other... It even made Chako wish she could invite her mom to come to Arcia too, but... Telling her mom about an illegal game was a bit too scary, so Chako refrained from doing so.

"Oh, we're getting close! She should be there in the plaza!" Chako pointed in its general direction. Considering Ruby's speed, she doubted they'd arrive before her.

"She sounds cool already!" Doggo replied, already infected with that cheery energy Chako had when speaking of this dancer.



Her tail wagged from side to side, almost pushing herself ahead of Chako as her legs simply sped up out of pure impatience, only to fall back in line with the catgirl's pace once she became concious of it.


"I'll message my sister about her later. She's the best dancer I know, so maybe they can learn from eachother and we can take notes while they dance!"



Doggo added, voicing out a 'mhm!' after nodding to herself a couple of times, quick to let her eyes follow Chako's finger as she pointed out straight to the plaza. At first, no one she could recognize as this very cool dancer... At first, as it wouldn't take long for her to spot a set of two tails similar to Chako's billowing around and a set of red locks of hair, with her mouth widening into a surprised gasp.


"JIEJIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"



She shouted at the top of her lungs, waving a hand frantically in Ruby's direction, sprinting for a quick second to close the distance, ending up sliding all the way until she got face to face (figuratively of course) with her sister.


"What are you doing here, jiejie?- WAIT, don't tell me..."



She paused, eyes closed as her braincells rubbed together and then her eyes lit like comets.


"You are friends with this dancer too and we are all gonna met her here now? Woah, we are so lucky Chako!"

Both @Chako and @Little Doggo being online in her friend list, the amount of somewhat vague descriptions and a desire to make a meet up gave it all to Ruby since the start. Especially considering the previous coincidence, it was clear that it was another set up for a flurry of unexpected meet ups.

Ruby decided to play along with it though, finding the idea amusing... and when the duo finally approached, her ears perked up when what she was expecting turned out to be true.

She couldn't contain her laugh, and when her little sister approached, she gave her a hug. "Hello~"

Her gaze rested on Doggo's. "Meeting this dancer? Oh, you mean that one?" She pointed at Chako, smiling. "I already know that dancer. She wanted me to meet her newest friend, so I decided to come." Ruby released the hug, placing a hand on her hip while watching the duo's reaction.

"Oh? Your sister dances too? And she comes to Arcia as well? I'd love to meet her!" Chako happily stated. There really were a lot of dancers in Arcia, weren't they? Either that, or Chako was really lucky to meet the right people.

However, Chako's thoughts were cut short by Doggo's sudden rush forward and shout... It made Chako crouch down and hold her ears with her hands... "What's up with the sudden shouting...?" Chako muttered, expecting Doggo to hear it anyways when considering her dog ears.

And then... She vaguely overheard the next words that Doggo spoke... It was a bit hard with the ringing of her ears, but she heard enough to make her look up again and... Saw Doggo being hugged by Ruby. A very happy Doggo being hugged by a very happy Ruby, in fact.

I can't believe it... How could this happen twice!?

Chako forced herself up and slowly approached Doggo and Ruby, "Ah, uhn... Hi?" What was she even meant to say here!? She was so embarrassed! Her face was going beet red again! "I uhn... Didn't know your name was Jiejie? Uhn... I'm Lisa. Nice to see you well, Ruby." She didn't really know what to do, was feeling horribly awkward, but felt like she should introduce herself properly after Doggo just blurted out Ruby's name like that.

"I didn't know your little sister was in Arcia too and..." She glanced at Doggo's direction, fidgeting a bit, "Well, Doggo... Turns out we already found our dancer!"

... What a mess...
Chako felt like burying herself down a hole and hiding.

Doggo hopped on place, arms wrapping around Ruby as she hugged her back, leaning onto the taller cat for a moment before parting ways and turning back to Chako once her sister pointed back at her, one ear flopping as confusion arised, and she wasn't the only one confused either it seemed.


"Ooooh so you know Chako? Wait- Meeting her friend..?"



Doggo had to put all her brainpower on duty this time around, head turning towards the small cat then back to the tall cat. Brown cat. Orange cat...


"I'm the friend..? It can't be, I didn't-"



"Oi! You bully!"


She stomped quietly on the floor, squinting a bit as she figured Ruby's deceit, before turning to face Chako with a smile, giggling at the assumption over her name, only to have every hair on her body and tail jump as the catgirl revealed her ACTUAL name.


"N-no! Don't say your name to strangers online!" She paused, arms crossed onto a X gesture, "Never! Jiejie isn't her name, that's just how I call her, since she's my big sister!"



It became so awkward she couldn't stop scratching her head, but with Chako taking the initiative to change the subject, Doggo jumped right back to rescue, hopping next to Ruby to give the kid cat a better view of the sisterly duo.


"Bet you would never guess I'm her sis."



"This means you taught her how to dance, Jiejie? I should have known, there's no better dancer than you around here, but how did you two meet? Did you also go to fight some blue girl?"

Ruby bursted out laughing at both @Chako and @Little Doggo's reactions. Her tails swayed back and forth as she tried to recover, placing a hand on the head of each of the girls, ruffling. "There there. Coincidences can be fun, right?" Then, she peeked at Chako.

"Yeah, my name isn't Jiejie. My name is Yuhan. It is nice to meet you too, Lisa." With the real names all revealed, Ruby felt it was fair to share her own. Not that she minded it that much, certain that it didn't matter if people knew her name.

When Little Doggo got next to her, Ruby posed next to her sister, and an ear twitched at the following questions.

"Fight a blue girl? You mean Birdie?" She frowned. "I would never fight her. I simply found her on the Eastern Brisshal, sitting on the grass and a bit lost." A smile crossed her lips.

"I did teach Chako some dancing moves after that. But a little bird have told me that she is looking for other teachers, so she probably have learned a bunch of new things." Ruby bent with an interested expression in her eyes locked on the fellow cat girl.

Chako started purring as her hair was ruffled... Dear god! Why does this happen every time!? It's way too embarrassing!

"Ah, yes, coincidences can be fun..."
Chako muttered, though she thought it was way more embarrassing than fun, it was nice to know that Ruby's little sister was Doggo.

And uhn... Well, Chako was a bit surprised that Doggo took this long to piece things together, but it worked out in the end.

Only... "Wait, Jiejie is not her name!? What is it then? Is it 'sister' in some other language!?" Chako suddenly felt very troubled about making things uncomfortable now that she had already said her actual name out of nowhere like that, but... "But you and Ruby are not strangers..." She muttered very quietly.

Only to then have Ruby introduce herself, "O-o-oh! Y-yeah, l-likewise, Y-Y-Y-miss Yuhan!" Chako did feel a bit more at ease when Ruby just went ahead and said her name, but she wasn't sure it was okay to just refer to her name directly like that, so she stuttered a bit and...

Wait, blue girl? Does she mean that strange slime girl we saw in that labyrinth thingie...?

... Oh! Right! She means Trinity!

How to explain it to Ruby...? Chako pondered for a bit, "I really wouldn't have guessed you were sisters, Doggo!" More like she didn't expect Ruby's little sister to be in Arcia at all, since like, illegal game and stuff, but if Ruby is fine with it, Chako certainly was not going to say anything. She was playing this same illegal game too, after all, "I think Doggo means Trinity though, not Bluebird, as we ended up somehow having to fight against Trinity..." For reasons still beyond Chako's comprehension, "Do you know Bluebird too, Doggo?" Chako figured she might have, since she is Ruby's sister, but... Well, it's not like Ruby had to introduce all of her friends to her little sister, so maybe not.

"Ruby met me on my first day in Arcia! She helped me after I was kicked out of my third party in a row, and taught me some basic dance steps and how to move my legs properly!" Chako explained to Doggo before turning to Ruby, "I didn't learn that much from anybody else! You are definitely the best teacher ever, Ruby!

"That said, I did meet up a big fan of k-pop the other day, a woman named Lune, and she helped me practice a song from some Korean idols." Chako started blushing and fidgeting as she said it, "I kinda wanted to show it off for a special friend, so I'm glad I learned that one..."

"Well this is TOO MUCH of a coincidence, Jiejie!"



She didn't fight back the pats though, reflexively closing her eyes until Ruby took her hand off, which prompted her ears, previously flattened against her hairs, to plop back up like they had springs on them, gaze set on Chako as she pointed her thumb back at herself as Ruby gave out her real name just like that.


"If Jiejie trusts you, then I trust you too; I'm Bao!"



"Almost like a dog's bark!" She cheered, this practically being the perfect opportunity to give away obvious hints for her character's name.



As Ruby spoke of a certain 'birdie' and Chako followed up by adding 'blue' to the name, Doggo tilted her head from side to side, pondering over this person that didn't match trinity's description whatsoever, let alone someone who could fit the role of a 'teacher', as this trinity wasn't the best at it.



"Uhhh, I don't think so? I didn't meet any of Jiejie's friends... Until now I mean. Only blue I know is that trini-something that Chako and I fought."



Her expression turned long though, as Chako explained her first meeting with Ruby, and the circumstances beforehand. It rubbed her wrong, hitting a little too close at home, a frown resting on her features, now determined to prove these wrong.


"Don't worry Chako, we'll never kick you out, you are a really good healer, right Jiejie?"



Confident in her sister's support, the redhead cat didn't even need to voice it for Doggo to feel validated over it, and instead decided to point back at the smaller feline.


"Well Ruby has moves of her own too, I don't think I've ever learned all her tricks, specially now that she's been traveling over the world."



"Don't know anything about this 'K-pop' though. Do you know any K moves, Ruby?"



Maybe it was an american thing..? Doggo couldn't tell, far more interested on seeing dance moves than on the naming parts of the moves themselves. Ks, Js, As... It's all about moving your legs and arms to her at the end of the day.

"Yeah, jiejie is like sister. You got the gist of it." Ruby's ear then twitched at @Little Doggo's firm statement that they would never kick @Chako out, which she nodded in agreement. "Of course, there is no reason to kick Chako out of our party. For starters because there isn't even a party to begin with." She chuckled, looking back at the cat girl, she raised an eyebrow.

"Still... It sounds like you and Doggo already had a lot of things going on with both of you. I guess kids are much quicker to get into games than adults." Her tails swayed back and forth, and she pondered with a mild frown when Little Doggo questioned about K-moves.

"Uh? Like this?" Ruby danced a Gangnam Style horse dence for a couple seconds with a flat expression, then giggled. "Bao, K-pop just means Korean pop. So it is also like this—" She then followed with a non-memey dance, having an inviting gaze locked on the two girls.

"If you two want to try~ We can try dancing something. A trio choreography."

Chako gave out an obviously fake hurt expression, "You only trust me now!? I thought our bonds went deeper than that, Doggo!" As if. They had known each other for what? A few weeks at best? But hey, it was fun to pretend shock like that.

... Chako got a bit worried that Doggo might take it seriously though, so she decided to add after a slightly long pause, "Joke!" and then she gave Doggo a wink, "Thanks for trusting me, Bao!"

Chako then felt a bit troubled and embarrassed when being referred to as a really good healer, like... "I dunno how good I am when I still trip during my dances..." Well, she was improving though. One day at a time, but it still happened, "I'm glad both of you don't want to kick me out of our party though!" Even if they weren't at a party right now, but... Hey, she did adventure with Doggo before. Maybe she'd go on an adventure with Ruby too at one point.

Chako tilted her head at Ruby's next statement though, "Didn't you start coming to Arcia before me though? And I honestly don't go around that much, I spend most of my time in Honeyhome... Doggo is the one who usually drags me out somewhere." Which she was actually thankful for. Since she did want to go out exploring. It was a big part of why she started coming to Arcia in the first place... Even if it was kinda scary to go out alone.

... Which was kinda against the point of Chako wanting to come here to feel more independent, but... What was scary was scary. She couldn't help that... Not yet at least. She would keep trying to overcome that fear.

And then Chako got a bit mindblown at Doggo's next statement, "W-wait, hold on, you're traveling all over the world, Ruby!?" Chako hadn't heard of that! The info she found online made her think that Ruby was only in the US!

"H-hey, you wouldn't happen to have a show scheduled in the United Kingdom any time soon, would you!?" Chako had talked with her mom about them maybe trying to take a time during vacations to go abroad so that she could try seeing one of Ruby's shows in person, but finances were always kinda tight back home, so she understood that this was a bit hard to happen... But if she could see Ruby near her home, then it would be much easier!

And uhn... What was Ruby even doing? That... That was not like the K-pop that Chako had seen Evelyn shown her... Until Ruby switched gears and started dancing in a way that was much more like the K-pop she did know.

"Oh, I'd love that!" Chako exclaimed at the idea of a group dance, "You up for it, Doggo?" Chako looked at Doggo with shiny begging eyes. Feeling completely safe at the idea of a group dance where Doggo would not step on her feet.

A wide smile propped up on her face the moment Ruby agreed. Of course no one would kick Chako out, aftera-

Bullied. Again... Doggo couldn't hold back the exhausted complaints out of her mouth at that point.

"Jiejieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."



Her puffy cheeks deflated soon after, arms folded against her chest, standing proud at the merit of their adventures, hopping right next to Chako a second after to hug her by the shoulder,


"I know one or two other kids too that are part of our party! Chako is the newest member, and she's done awesome this far, don't listen to all that tripping part, she's very humble, hehe!"



Her free hand instead waved back at the cat girl, dismissive of her hurtness as Doggo herself had a trick under her sleeve to answer that, almost like she had foresight or something to see it coming, only with a little shakey tone.

"You passed the trust test recently! It's uhh, part of the initiation process, yeah! Mhm!"



Adventures were set aside as Yuhan begun to do a strange horse-rider like dance, giving her the look a kid would give to a hundred years old crone. Something about these moves felt ancient, like only Ruby on this party of three had witnessed them first-hand. Thankfully she didn't have to look confused for long, given the following moves were far more readable to her.


"That first dance was so bad Jiejie! This one makes more sense to me! Looks very energetic."



Doggo paused, tapping away at her chin as to make herself look doubtful, thoughtful rather. Comically so. And only to get the expected reaction from one of them at least as Chako was practically begging for her to join. She giggled, giving a thumbs up to the cattos.


"Since Chako is up to it, so am I! I'll try to follow!"

"If you are tripping on your dances, it means you are actually practicing new things instead of just repeating the same thing over and over. That's important." Ruby puffed her chest, raising a hand with a confident smirk, ears perked up and her tails swinging back and forth like a conductor's stick.

"Yeah, but you guys are learning things faster than I did back in the day." She explained, letting out a giggle at the trust-topic exchange between the two girls. She was more than glad to know that her little sister had a friend now, especially such a sweet one. And the fact that Chako wasn't completely alone anymore. It was like feeding two birds with a seed.

"The first one is K-pop too, just not as fancy." Ruby laughed, and as the girls approached, she did the same choreography as before, but this time slower. "Alright, follow me— This way!" She gestured, making the move carefully, and waiting to see how the two would do, but sticking closer to them just in case some tripping happened.

"United Kingdom?" She asked, fixing one of their postures. "I don't think I'm famous enough for international performances. I'm a bit niche, honestly... Wait, are you British?"

"Doggo... Lying is bad." Chako stared at Doggo as she said that stuff about not minding the tripping and how Chako was humble, like... Yeah, sure, she was happy that Doggo liked having her around, but that was no reason to lie. Chako was still tripping, and if Doggo and Max were okay with it, that's what mattered the most.

Besides, Ruby saw how clumsy Chako was since their very first meeting, so it's not like Doggo's lie would hide anything from Ruby anyways.

Either way, Chako smiled when hearing that tripping meant practicing new things and that this was important, "I'm practicing lots of new things! Lots and lots!" Probably way too many, but... It was fun, so Chako wanted to keep on practicing all sorts of things!

She wasn't sure if she believed it when Ruby said she was learning faster than she did back in the day, but... Well, that still brought a big smile to her face.

Chako then raised an eyebrow as Doggo talked about the initiation test, like... Yeah, she was not buying that. But since it was a joke anyways, there was no point in dwelling in it too much.

Though she opened her mouth agape when hearing that the first one was K-pop, "That is K-pop!?" She couldn't believe it, that was nothing like, "Doggo! That's rude!" Like, come on! You can't simply call Ruby out on her weird dance being bad! Like... Just no!

Well, no use scolding her about it when her own sister was here and didn't seem to mind it though... So, Chako instead started following along with Ruby, carefully mimicking the moves just like how she did when dancing with Lune. Paying extra attention to her legs to make sure she didn't suddenly lose all the strength in them, which made the moves of the rest of her body a bit sloppier, but it still worked in one way or another.

Although... Dancing with Ruby like this raised a question in Chako's mind, "Hey, Ruby! How easy it is to dance in reverse? Like, doing the same moves you always do, but like, in a mirrored way? Think you could do that for a dance you aren't super used to?" Chako really didn't want to pry too much into Lune's background, but... Asking Ruby about it was not prying! Just a way of reinforcing her own suspicions without being bothersome! This was fine! This was fine! She was just getting an expert's opinion on the matter!

... It was fine, right?

Chako was then confused when Ruby brought up that she was a bit too niche for international performances... "What was it that Doggo meant when saying you were traveling over the world. then?" Chako would have tilted her head if it didn't get in the way of her balance as they danced, "Ah, and yeah, I'm British." Chako saw no problem in saying that when considering she already knew that Ruby lived in the US after Ruby had told her her stage name and she did some guugling about it.

Doggo yelped, frantically shaking her head against Chako's allegations.


"B-but it's true! You are a great dancer. Trust me, even Jiejie thinks so!"



"And like she said, you are a fast learner. I'm just lucky I had her as my sister." Even if dancing wasn't one of her priorities compared to drawing, it was an art that naturally came to her as much as it did for Ruby.



Doggo followed Ruby's lead once again, eyes locked on her sister as she begun to repeat at a slower tempo, making it much easier to catch up with it.


"I'm joooking," Doggo paused, head turned to face the smaller cat, "It's not a big deal, trust! I just like this one more."



As Chako asked away, her curiosity sparked and got her to pause, collecting her thoughts as she begun to put her team member's question into practice. Attempting to mirror the movements was, well, messy, leading Doggo to a gasp as she momentarily lost balance, laughing it off as she steadied herself with one hand holding onto Ruby's arm.


"It's pretty rough. But why would you wanna dance in reverse, Chako?" Genuine curiosity, overlapped by the girl's british heritage coming to light, "Oooh, and do you know any british dances you can teach us?!" Her excitement over it completely pushing aside the dubious claims she was yet to answer for over Ruby's stellar worldwide life.

"Dancing in reverse?" Ruby asked, ears perking up. @Chako was being really straightforward with such a question, and Ruby couldn't help but let out a quiet chuckle at how eager the girl was at trying something more advanced. "It depends a lot on the choreography and the type of dance. Some dances are very easy to do reverse versions, such as some waltz movements." She explained.

"But— For most of part, dancing in reverse usually means dancing against the natural flow and direction, and that breaks what your body is used to do and may even be a bit anti-anatomic." Ruby elaborated, but not before adding encouragement:

"It requires a lot of practice, but it isn't impossible, and depending on the dance, it can be as easy or even easier than dancing normally."

For what they were dancing, however? It wasn't going to be easy at all, as it had a rather complex set of moves that relied on momentum.

At @Little Doggo's question, Ruby couldn't help but share the same curiosity. "Oh, a british dance would be interesting. Perhaps some folk dance from UK?" Ruby's tail swayed back and forth, interested to hear if the little cat had any ideas.

"I don't think a fast learner would trip as much as I do..." Chako muttered... It was hard to believe the praise those two sisters were throwing at her... It did made her happy, but it was also a bit of a bummer to receive insincere praise.

Then she listened to Doggo's comment on the reverse dance, as well as Ruby's bigger explanation on it and, "Ah, no, I don't really want to dance in reverse... It's more that somebody taught me a dance a few weeks back, and they helped me memorize it by doing a mirrored version of what I was doing, so that I could see and replicate the dance more easily...

"They kept on saying it like it was nothing big, but I couldn't help wondering if I somehow met another pro in Arcia, yanno!? But like... No way that's true, right!? What are the chances!?" Chako explained honestly. It's not like it was a secret anyways.

"So well, I was just asking on my curiosity, I guess?" Chako scratched her head. It was a bit embarrassing after seeing Ruby encourage her to keep trying to pursue her dancing goals...

That said... The question about knowing British dances made Chako blink a few times... Like... She could sorta get it if it came just from Doggo, but from Ruby too?

... It hurt a bit, to be honest.

"I... Haven't really danced before getting to Arcia, you know?" Chako meekly replied, "So I don't really know anything...

"I've mostly been learning with Ruby's help or by looking up basic step-by-step tutorials on metube, then trying to remember them when coming to Arcia to practice..."

It's not like she couldn't enjoy seeing performances live from time to time... But it was also painful to be reminded that it was something she couldn't do outside of Arcia. Especially before she found out about Terrasphere. So... Lisa's contact with dancing had always been limited, no matter how much she loved the idea of it. Consuming content she couldn't partake on was just painful.

Doggo propped her hands against her chin, rubbing her cheeks like that could wake her up from the lull her mind had been going through. Sure she should have seen it coming that Chako didn't meant to literally dance in reverse, but the concept was hilarious on it's own, at the same time she let her words come out with no further input from her thoughts.


"Ooooooh!"



"Gotcha gotcha! No reverse but mirrors instead. I think Ruby here can help us out on that!"



The sky is blue, the sun will go up and down, and Ruby knows everything; The three things she believes in.


"It's okay Chako, we will show you exactly how to dance for as long as you stick around with us. Just..."



Doggo paused, scratching away at the back of her nape as she giggled a little, unnatural compared to her expressive self, mild, gone introvert in a second, like her real life counterpart found it's way through the cracks of DOGGO to turn her into LAMEO once more.


"Got a lil' confused with all the dance talk. Sorry!"




"But if you feel like you met a pro dancer out there, it gotta be true, it can't just be fake! I mean, look at Ruby over here, she is a top tier dancer and you met her, didn't you?! You got a magnet for dancers I bet."



Arms crossed, Doggo took a few steps to the side, circling around the other two as if to try and asssess the situation with newfound severity splashed between her features, a smirk that speaks volumes, not just for it's smugness but for the radiant confidence on itself, willing to speak like leadership was her second name here.



"Alright time to slow down! Chako, I think I finally get it now; We need to know what you want to learn, and maybe Ruby and I can teach you about it. Some simple dances here and there, maybe something you would like to focus on to put your watery dancey powers into it too."




"What'cha think Jiejie? Don't worry, I will also keep out an eye for that possible-pro Chako speaks of. Maybe I can gauge them out and get them to meet you one day!"

Ruby crossed her arms with swaying tails as she watched the conversation unfold. There was a lot of side tracking in there, and even a bit of @Little Doggo's real self leaking into her 'character' which made her chuckle a little.

All in all, what she knew was that @Chako wanted to learn how to dance more, and that was all that mattered. If they were Gangnam Styling, Michael Jacksoing or Balleting through it, it didn't matter.

"I do think that Chako is already past the level of a simple waltz, so why don't both of you try to dance something like tango." Her ears perked up with a grin. "Unlike one that goes with the flow and is more graceful, tango is much more passionate and dramatic. You can't dance that by simply going with the flow, so you have to actively think about what you are doing." She explained.

"So maybe it would be a good practice."

She certainly wasn't trying to make the two dance tango because it would be very cute to watch her little sister and her little friend doing that together, no no.

Chako tilted her head as Doggo said something about being confused with the dance talk... What confused her? What was she apologizing for? Chako didn't really get any of that, so she just said, "It's okay...?"

She giggled when hearing that she was a magnet for good dancers though, "I don't think that's how those things work!"

Then, she pondered a bit about what Doggo said... "What I want to learn...?" Chako knew she preferred stuff that could be danced to classical music, like ceremonial dances, but she also just enjoyed the feeling of moving her body around, so it was hard to pin it down... Dancing was a way for her to express herself, but also an excuse to move her body in all sorts of ways that she couldn't as Lisa.

So... Chako was up to basically anything that didn't look indecent, she figured, "Everything! I wanna learn all sorts of dances to find out what would be the most fun!

"But well, I guess I like ceremonial dances the most?" That should be a good enough explanation for now.

"Tango?" Chako responded to Ruby's suggestion.

Then, after a small pause of thinking, she added, "I know nothing of tango, but I'm okay with that!" So, she offered Doggo her hand in a fancy manner, trying to mimick what she saw noble ladies do in anime, "If you would lead me, I would be in your care." And then she giggled.

Would it be good practice like Ruby said? Chako had no idea, but she trusted Ruby's judgment, so she was more than willing to go along with it!
