Gien monologues:
But as we look to the end, we must try to keep fast to a vision of what we want that life to be.
We have all lost much, and have much to rebuild ahead of us.
But I would also call on us to look to new roads, as we travel onward.
We of Jin'Sorai are Sarnoth's dreamers and forgers. Above all else, we honor our history by moving forward and advancing.
I would invite all present, Jin'Sorai Tel'Dora Mor'Kama, and the Sar'Teri who have chosen to stand with us, to join in this vision.
But for the current moment, I have taken up enough of your time.
Allow me to present Ke Ban and Ke Nan Be'Mara. Two of the finest dancers Havei Jin'Suir has had the pleasure of knowing.

Short introduction speeches are an under-appreciated artform.
Someone is co-opting Selkie’s idea….not a bad thing necessarily.
And laying the groundwork for it, rather than trying to spring it on everyone right away. More clever than he seemed! Maybe being snarked at by a mom *and* then out-of-the-box-outthought by Selkie gave him pause.
He’s… being remarkably tactful and not steal-the-spotlight-y about this. I’m impressed!
I’m pretty sure that Jin’Sorai learn to not be spotlight-stealy at a very young age. Between the claws, teeth, and the diva personalities trying to steal somebody’s spotlight may very well end very badly.
Dancing has got to be interesting underwater, especially for people who don’t need to surface for air.
one would imagine it has to be be similar to the 0 G dancing described by Spider and Jeanne Robinson in the Star Dancer Series.
I was thinking of the Quaddi dancers in Lois McMaser Bujold’s Diplomatic Immunity.
Bujold’s sci fi shaped a LOT of my views on it. So. Good
Forgot about the quaddies… (but then ive never read Quaddi space, only the brief description in I want to say memory? (ive only got about HALF the books cause i can never find them all in stock in the same format)
Everybody boogie!
And there it is, the ghost of his leadership and care Gien had before the war.
Dancers? Benny is going to lose his mind!
Neither Olympian synchronized swimmers nor the most elaborate Busby Berkley choreography could approach dancers born to the water.
Land-Lubbers joints are designed for leveraging our weight in air. Fish are designed for flowing in an *almost* buoyancy neutral medium. Imma guessing that this will be more like Pilobolus than Swan Lake.
