Mr. Cat really really doesn't want Duck to go up on the stage and dance.

Duck really really doesn't want to go up on the stage and dance.

But Miss Paulamoni, lead ballerina of the Eleki Troupe, for some weird reason really really does want Duck to go up on the stage and dance - and Mr. Cat really really wants to make Miss Paulamoni happy - and so now, Mr. Cat has just informed her, Duck has five minutes to get ready to dance the Sleeping Beauty ballet, which she doesn't know, in front of the entire class and the Eleki Troupe and the amazing Miss Paulamoni.

In short, Duck is in a pinch.

Which is maybe why she's now running outside to take several very deep breaths.

Duck hasn't forgotten the way Fakir pushed her back into the door of the library - or the way he locked Mytho up - or what he said about keeping him in the dark, or - or -

"Y-you stay away from him!" she retorts, (and she only stammers a little with fear).

You haven't learned yet. You'll learn. I'll teach you.

Fakir doesn't respond aloud. One hand on Duck's waist and one on her leg, he lifts her above his head. He can hear her whimpering, and he can feel her body tremble.

He opens his hands.

A trained danseuse would have the balance to stay there, graceful and aloft.

An untrained danseuse...

Ironically, Duck looks almost more graceful tumbling to the floor and flailing her arms desperately in an attempt to hover off the ground than she did while dancing with Fakir.

Disgusted, Fakir watches Duck flail. "You're an eyesore." He turns and stalks off before she even hits the ground.
