"Oh no! He's a Judge. He's utterly sane and rather dry and dusty to tell you the truth." Fabian said, feeling rather wicked as he did.

"I'm not sure about that. What if I tried dancing, found I hated it and died in the middle of it? That would be simply tragic." He said, smiling a little at the other boy. "I have often wondered if going out a little might get my strength up, like you suggested but uncle won't hear of it."

"Friends?" He said a little surprised, but rather pleased with the idea. Then a though occurred to him. "We'd have to arrange it first, of course, but I'm sure Uncle wouldn't mind me going out with another young lord, although I’m not technically one yet. It's thrilling to meet someone my own age."

"Hm. But a judge can be an emperor of his chambers and the law in his own right and mind," Piper said conversationally.

"You would take it slow, of course. You have to walk before you can waltz, after all. You would start of slow so as not to completely over-excite things and to discover if you had the patience or desire to learn more. If you did not have the want, there would be no problem." He smiled and leaned closer, softly saying, "I could teach you if you wanted, though obviously not here.

"And I'm sure we could arrange something," he said. His brain darted around, trying to think of ways to arrange such a thing. He nodded confidently, even though he couldn't be sure the few ideas dancing around in his head would even work. He raised his wine glass in his free hand and said, "To a new friendship."

"Teach me to dance? I'd be flattered if you would." Fabian said, smiling shyly at the boy. He thought it was a little unorthodox - two men to dance together- but he wouldn't want to begin with a young woman and disappoint her.

"To a new friendship." Fabian echoed, raising his glass as well and he took a small sip of the wine. He didn't want to finish it all too quickly. He knew he shouldn't have another glass after this one.
