She laughs lightly. "It's understandable, don't worry," she says. "The people in Dermstagnia like their drinks... harder. Not many other places will serve them the way we do."
David grabbed the two drinks from the bartender nodding in response. He then handed one of the drinks to Amanda and waited to see what would happen once she took the first sip.
She didn't take a sip... she took a huge gulp and downed it quickly, wincing only a second afterwards.
"First drink always gets me," she says as she looks at David. "Go on, have a taste."
"Do you know how to polea?" She asks as she takes his arm and pulls him to a group of people that are dancing in a formation that looks very similar to square dancing. "Or perhaps not?"
"All right now, David," she says, "we hold hands like this, see?" She turns his hands up and puts hers flat on top of them lightly. "I take a step in, you take a step in, then I step out, and you step out," she does this, and watches David's feet to see if he complies.
Everyone else was too busy doing the same thing in their own drunken way.
"Good... you're getting it," Amanda says. "Now we step in, switch places, and you spin me back to my right place. Okay?"
The do a few more turns, and then Amanda decides to retreat to a table. She pulls David along with her.
"Sit with me awhile, eh?" She says. "How long will you be in town?"
"You look a strong boy," Amanda says. "My brother could get you a job, now..." she smiles, "hows'about you stay at my place? Plently of space, I promise. Ya t'wouldn't be a bother at all. Brother wouldn't mind." She looks up.
"Speak of the devil."
"Two Calzaspies, then," Amanda interjects. She looks at David. "You're not from around here, are you?"
"First drink always gets me," she says as she looks at David. "Go on, have a taste."
"Good... you're getting it," Amanda says. "Now we step in, switch places, and you spin me back to my right place. Okay?"
"Sit with me awhile, eh?" She says. "How long will you be in town?"
"Speak of the devil."
Teren was standing right behind David. He slaps him on the back.
"So, are ya having a good time?"
Look", he added, "I've been speaking with Amanda and she said you might be needing some help at your workplace."
