Shannon Rutherford (ballerinadreams) wrote in vas_captio_rpg,

Cielo's enthusiasm made Shannon feel simultaneously flattered and really, really uncomfortable; she couldn't decide which trumped the other, so she just gave the kid a smile and nodded. "Thank you," she replied at his compliment. No, she didn't know, because she hadn't seen herself dance in months. There was no mirror wall that she knew of in the Glass Cage with which she could check her posture, so she had no clue. She'd take his word for it. Then again...it wasn't like the kid knew what he was talking about, so she could look like hell and he'd never know the difference, really.

With a nod, Shannon smiled again, a bit more relaxed now that the focus was off him having been watching her without her knowing it. "Yeah, little girls beginners' classes," she clarified. "I love kids and I practically live and breathe ballet under normal circumstances, so yeah it was a pretty perfect job," she replied, a nostalgic fondness creeping into her voice. She missed those little squirts, actually. In retrospect, she never should've taken the au pair position; she'd been doing well and enjoying herself with the dance classes. Then again, she'd gotten the offer the same day her father had died. At the time, it seemed logical to run away, so she had.

A sympathetic grin crossed Shannon's features and she nodded her understanding. "Being a grown up sucks ass, huh?" she asked, rolling her eyes. "Never get to do anything fun, because you always have 'more important' shit to do," she empathized. She didn't mean to be patronizing, but it might have come off in such a way. The fact was, she appreciated that he was thinking of helping other people before dicking around in the snow for shits and giggles, even if he did look young enough not to care or to willfully leave it up to the adults to take care of things. "Where are you staying that you can get out pretty easy?" she asked him, curious now.
