If anyone is interested, I'll be holding ballet lessons starting later this week.

Gotta get a civilian job.

Pink tights and all?

[killerthighs]

Only the students wear those.

[doeswhathewants]

Can you do that thing where you dance on your toes? That seems quite painful.

[killerthighs]

You get used to it.

[doeswhathewants]

Ah, it seems one would not get used to something like that.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[The only reason she's even remotely considering this is it will do wonders for balance, coordination and all that. She doesn't give a shit about the rest of it.]

Would you teach someone who'd never had a lesson in their life?

[killerthighs]

We all have to start somewhere.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Okay, good because this sounds interesting.

[killerthighs]

Good. Your first lesson will be on Thursday at 8 AM.

[Tasha doesn't FUCK AROUND with mornings, man.]

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

[Neither does Mindy!]

Where and what should I bring?

[killerthighs]

There's a studio I rented for the time being a little ways down from the number 6 building. There's a pizza place underneath it, you can't miss it.

Bring tights, a leotard, and ballet shoes. But not pointe shoes - that's advanced.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

I gotta go shopping, then. Alright! I'll see you then. My name is Mindy.

[killerthighs]

Nice to meet you, Mindy.

You can call me Miss Natasha or Miss Romanoff, whichever you'd like.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Miss Natasha works.

[She's going to flail about this for weeks.]

[punchedhitler]

Ballet?

[killerthighs]

I was many things before I became an agent, Steve.

Why, are you interested?

[punchedhitler]

I'm no good at dancing.

[killerthighs]

Oh, c'mon, Steve. They had dance halls in your time. I'm sure you're good.

[punchedhitler]

I never went.

this hurt me so much to type

[killerthighs]

Well maybe we can go dancing some time.

WEEP

[punchedhitler]

I don't think that would be a good idea.

[bettercallit]

You got a pair of those slippers in my size?

[ Text ]

[killerthighs]

I might, but you have to bring the leotard and the tights if you want to join.

[ Text ]

[bettercallit]

Got the leotard covered, Coulson might be able to help me out with the tights.

[killerthighs]

[oh my god if he actually does this.]

You can be my 9 AM appointment on Thursday.

[ Text ]

[bettercallit]

And here I thought we'd get a lie in.

9am. I'll be there.

[asofwar]

What is ballet?

[killerthighs]

It's a type of dance. It's good to develop balance and posture.

[She takes a few more seconds.]

Here. It's a good workout too because it builds up strength and stamina. It's really beautiful.

[asofwar]

I can see how this could prove to be useful in a different setting. The agility, especially.

[killerthighs]

It's one of my favorite things to do to pass the time. To keep me on my toes.

[A pause.]

No pun intended.

[asofwar]

That was amusing.
