Last week, Lareina was allowed to see Murphy turn into a selkie, while Ravyn and Seamus looked on. Lareina thought he was amazing and wasn't scared at all. Let's see how this bit continues : )
“See
da, I tol’ ye!” Seamus jumped in the
air, clicking his heels out to the side.
He lifted up on his toes and drew his right knee up high in the
air, swinging it forward then backward and out to the side before spinning a half step around. Ravyn watched his feet flying over the wooden floor as he completed a full circle and stopped before her. Seamus reached for her hand, “Come
dance a jig wi’ me, my lass!”
Ravyn
laughed, “I don’t know how!”“Ah, it’s an easy enough thing if ye try. Just follow my feet, I’ll lead.”
Well Seamus is certainly happy that Murphy's transformation was so well accepted. Seems very whimsical to want to dance a jig. Cute 8. Wonder what will happen next.
ReplyDeleteSeems all sweet and fun at the moment, doesn't it...
DeleteLooks like fun times. I like the light feel of the eight.

Thanks Joyce : )
DeleteDelightful snippet, Millie. I couldn't help but smile at the visual! Once again--oh so nicely done!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you.
DeleteWonderful tone and energy to this snippet, Millie -- your writing always has a sense of motion to it, a free-flowing rhythm that makes me want to keep reading! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you. I appreciate that.
DeleteFun snippet! Well described movements, he sounds like a great character!
ReplyDeleteGlad you can feel the motion, nothing like a jig : )
DeleteNothing like a dance! Made me smile just reading about it, great 8!
ReplyDelete: ) Glad it made you smile Veronica.
DeleteI think it will be hard to keep up with him. He makes that dance look so complicated. Great snippet, Millie.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty complicated...I certainly can't keep up with him : )
DeleteHappy times. He need to dance over the acceptance was cute. Fun 8
ReplyDeleteSometimes we're just so excited our feet gotta move!
DeleteShe's literally about to get swept off her feet, or so it appears. Very fun snippet, Millie.
ReplyDeleteHe's a charmer, that Seamus : )
DeleteAnd so they danced. Another fun snippet with with the whirl-away devil.
ReplyDelete: ) Selkies are so smooth : )
DeleteI bet he really can lead and she'll dance like she never has before. Fun snippet!
ReplyDeleteShould be fun, we'll see : )
DeleteA very playful snippet and you described the dance perfectly! I could see it in my mind.

Yay! It's hard to describe movement sometimes.
DeleteLol, I love the dialogue and the interaction. Would Seamus call her lass? To me it sounds more like something an older man would say, but that could just be me;).
ReplyDeleteShe's young and unmarried, he thinks of himself as a lad, his dad is the patriarch. I'll cogitate on that and see if something else presents itself and stays true to dialect. Thanks Tina.
DeleteCute display of joy. "Just follow my feet..." - easier said than done, I suspect :)
ReplyDeleteSince I was born with two left feet, I think Ravyn might have issues as well. At least with something as complicated as a jig : )
DeleteI'm pretty sure I'd follow his feet right into a faceplant---but it might be worth it, at that! :D
ReplyDeleteFun snippet, Millie!
Thanks Sarah, it's all fun and games for now : )
DeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteThey're so cute! They make me happy :-) Lovely snippet, Millie!
ReplyDeleteOh my, that's one happy lad! He might even be too happy, lol! But Ravyn seems to like his reaction so that's what counts. These characters are a lot of fun. So glad you're sharing this story with us :-D
