[QUOTE="PrecociousApprentice, post: 4625047, member: 61449"] As Aiffe sings, the other red headed deck hand, -this one Cad-, jumps up on a large crate. He begins dancing in the traditionally popular style in the Northmoor. The dance is pretty intricate and fast paced, and Cad keeps up extremely well with Aiffe's song. The dance involves a lot of kicking and stamping, the sound of the dancer's feet providing percussion for the singer. The rest of the men stop their work to watch the spectacle. As the song continues, Cad begins to drive the pace. His quickstepping rythm slowly increases it's tempo, until the pace of the song is quite brisk. Several of the other men begin to clap to his rythm. It crosses your mind that Aiffe might have a hard time keeping up with the bouncing rythm of the melody when pushed to this tempo, but her singing is flawless, and makes a simple work song seem a masterpiece. At the last note of the song, Cad leaps from the crate and flips head over heals to land in the muddy water. Raucous cheers and laughter greet the performers. Cad is splashed by several of his appreciative fans. [COLOR="DarkOrange"]"All right you lazy dogs, back to work!
