Circles

"dear diary,

i may not have been very close to the truth when speculating about servals, girls and secrets the other day. because last night, i watched serval going to this new club, where she spent the whole evening dancing with a guy. not the kind of dancing that she usually does in the sanctuary and wherever else she goes, flowing around, making up new steps and doing it by herself. no, yesterday was couple dancing, in various ways ranging from argentinian tango to the kind of dancing where moving seems less important than holding each other close. there was a lot of the latter. i think there may even have been kissing. oh, neither she nor he admitted to having chosen to do that, but the goings on looked very suspicious to me, i can tell you.

now, i don't think conclusions should be drawn too far from this. in between the dancing, they both went running around in circles like scalded rats, or rather like rats scalded, sloshed, and od'ed on adrenaline. or like a rat that has had huge quantities of tea and is not very close to a convenient bathroom. or quantities of some other beverage, which i hold closer to the truth. it's very probable that the same drinks also can be held responsible for the close dancing etc part of the evening, and too much serious value should probably not be ascribed to that matter. the guy was married, btw.

for humans, such a behaviour (including dirty dancing, drinking, snogging, and running in circles with married men) would have been looked upon as a disgrace, but for avatars, well, that's the kind of thing that they seem to do. and serval had a good time, enjoying her evening a lot, and that's what really counts, isn't it.
