[He rubs the back of his neck briefly.] Well, I'm taller than most people back home, though, so I didn't really notice.

Is there another way of feeling more graceful outside of heels?

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie is really, seriously considering this question. It's a very important one after all, and maybe there's some way that she just hasn't realised yet. Finally though, she frowns a little and shakes her head*

Nopes. There isn't.

[formerabyssinian]

Ah... [Guess there's no convincing her.] How long have you been doing this?

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie raises a brow at that question, like she was doing something weird or unusual*

Uhm, for about... twenty minutes?

[formerabyssinian]

[She is doing something weird and unusual.]

Do you think you need some help?

[booyaka_boom]

You want to help me walk in high heels?

*Selphie giggles at that and looks down at her feet*

You wanna try?

[formerabyssinian]

No. [He can already tell they aren't comfortable, nor functional.] But I can give you advice as you walk. [There aren't mirrors around, so how else will she know what she's doing right?]

[booyaka_boom]

Aya, how much do you actually know about how to walk on heels?

*She is wondering really what kind of interest he has in these shoes... But she smiles and is happy for some advice*

Okay! But you better have me walking gorgeous by the time I'm done!

*And she shuffles to the end of the line she drew, ready to start again*

[formerabyssinian]

I know plenty about walking with a straight back. [He has no real interest, but if she's gonna walk in them, he may as well make sure she doesn't hurt herself too badly because of silly shoes.]

[Aya waits towards the middle of the line, since it would be hard to really see what needs improvement from directly in front.]

[booyaka_boom]

That's good for your posture, you know! *She grins, and she knows that he's probably very well aware of the fact. So she straightens her back too, and that seems to make the walking thing a little bit easier. And off she goes, trying to keep her head up, rather than looking at her feet*

Is it working?

[formerabyssinian]

[Aya watches carefully. Selphie is definitely making her back straight, yet...]

Relax your shoulders a bit.

[booyaka_boom]

*She slows down her walk, lifting her shoulders into a shrug before giving them a shake, hoping they look more relaxed now*

Better?

[formerabyssinian]

[Aya nods with a soft smile.]

Just don't think too much about walking.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie just laughs at that, and as she's busy laughing at Aya, she's walking much better than better*

Are you sure you don't have any experience on these things?

[formerabyssinian]

I'm pretty sure, unless someone hypnotized me without letting me know. [Which...could have been possible. He grins lightly, noticing that she was walking a lot better.] Think about it. How often do you really think about just moving your legs?

[booyaka_boom]

Ooh! Maybe they did! Maybe you secretly do this in the middle of the night!

*Eventually she comes to the end of her walk and stops, striking a pose with her hands on her hips*

Pretty much never!

*But that's probably because she's never really given much thought to what her legs looked like before*

[formerabyssinian]

...I really hope not. [Now isn't the time to wish your teammates were actually here to ask them, Aya.]

Then all you'll need to worry about is is getting used to the shoes. [She was right, though. The heels do elongate the legs.]

[booyaka_boom]

Don't worry, if I ever see you up at night doing anything like that when you're asleep, I'll be sure to wake you up! Right after I've taken some pictures.

*She grins, giving a quick salute, to show that she means business, and she'd stick by her word*

Huh. That seems much easier than I first thought.

*Glancing down at her legs, she starts tapping the balls of her feet*

Think it's worth it to keep trying, though?

1/2

[formerabyssinian]

[This is why she's in the 'friend-zone'.]

Why did I even help you...

[formerabyssinian]

[With a sigh, Aya does manage a faint smile.]

Isn't that a question you should ask yourself?

[booyaka_boom]

*Zones? What are you even thinking about, zones, Aya? Selphie swings her hands back and forth, looking a little put out at first, but she soon sticks her tongue out at his sigh*

Well, yeah, but you're the one who just stood there judging my walk - so I gotta know if this is a trick worth pursuing, or if I should find something else to do.

[formerabyssinian]

To feel more elegant, right? [He's assuming there must be another reason for even wearing those things.] I offered to help because you seemed like you needed it.

[Not because she looked like a baby, four-legged creature or anything.]

[booyaka_boom]

No. Well, yes. Feeling more elegant is one part of it, but I haveta look elegant too.

*So for his benefit, she takes a few confident struts along the path*

Whaddaya think? Does it look like your help has worked? Or am I gonna have to get you sacked?

[formerabyssinian]

Then what's the other part?

[He chuckles softly before shrugging.]

I think it has. I'll still keep my day job, though.

[booyaka_boom]

Well, it's got to look really good, too! No good me feeling good if I'm actually slipping and sliding all over the place and looking stupid, right? That defeats the purpose.

*She grins all the same, pleased with her progress*

You gonna give me make up tips, too?
