"I don't know" she muttered, biting her lip again as she looked back up at him. The room was relatively dark around them, lit by a few candles.

"Well, there's gotta be somethin'." His sentence was punctuated by a floor-rattling thunderclap that shook half of the candles out. Eli blinked a few times, but looked relatively unfazed.

Sofia shuddered and collapsed onto Eli, the terror of thunder and lightning overwhelming her body.

He sat there stiffly, somewhat apprehensive to the contact before realizing the girl was actually terrified. He slowly wrapped his arms over her shoulders, unsure of what else to do. "Jus' a bit of noise. Ain't gonna do nothing to you."

"Y-yeah, whatever you say…" she whimpered, backing away from him slowly before attaching herself to her blanket.

"You're afraid of thunder. I get it now." He blinked a few times, putting his hands on his knees awkwardly.

"What's so bad about it? Other than the noise, of course."

(Sorry, I fell asleep)
"I-I don't know, it just bothers me" she replied, peeking out from her blanket

He pushed hair to the side again and stared at a candle flame for a bit, still slightly confued.

"I was stuck in a storm before and I didn't know where I was and that's how I developed a fear of them" she sputtered out, talking so fast that if he wasn't paying attention he wouldn't have heard.

He was overwhelmed for a moment, leaning back slightly. "Oh. That makes sense, I guess."

"Yea" was all she replied with, her gaze shifting over to the flickering flame atop the candle. "What if it never stops?" she asked, her gaze still fixed on the flame.

"The storm? Impossible. It's over land at this point, so it doesn't have the warm ocean feeding it water vapor. It'll be gonna in another two days or so." He scratched his cheek, adding in his head I hope.

She nodded her head slightly, trying to convince herself that what he was saying was the truth. She was just overly worrisome about this, being a worrisome person in general.

"Do you wanna dance?" he asked, reaching for his guitar again. "You always seem pretty happy when you dance."

"Yea sure" she replied, having danced with him before. She quickly slipped on her tattered pointe shoes, a small smile coming across her face as soon as she had them on.

He stood up with the guitar in hand, setting it gently against the far side wall and out of their way. "I'll try not to step on your feet again."

"Please do" she laughed, taking his hand in hers and playing some music on her phone in the corner of the room.

"Alright, what do I do?" This was the third or forth time they've done this and he was still clueless.

"Just," she hopped up on demi-pointe and then pointe, smiling as she did. "Follow me" she purred, leading him to a small dance to the music.

He followed the best he could, completely flat-footed and clumsy.

She laughed when he almost fell over, "How about you take a break mr.two right feet" she laughed, going back down to her flat foot.

"I'm more into making music to dance for." He laughed back.

"I can tell" she muttered, going back up on point and spinning slowly, her hands gently placing his on her waist.

He blushed slightly, happy for once that the candle barely gave off any light.
