the old man and me;

You can shut up about that grey wig anytime now.

Dancing with Ueno-sensei is an honour and a privilege. Don't focus so much on unimportant things, okay? Thanks.

I agree. I think you'll do an amazing job. As will Ueno-sensei, of course.

Of course!

[feathershedding]

It's a thing to be proud of, right? To be chosen like this.

[nomorefeathers]

Indeed! And it's such a great acting piece as well as dancing piece. Perfect for Ayako-san.

[feathershedding]

Mmn. The dancing isn't very complicated.

[nomorefeathers]

Things don't have to be complicated to be good. Sometimes complication gets in the way of beauty.

[feathershedding]

Yeah? How?

[nomorefeathers]

It allows the heart of the piece to shine through. Too often overly complicated choreography puts the focus on technical skill rather than the emotion of it. And dance is supposed to be an art.

Miyaki-san really thinks so?

[nomorefeathers]

I wouldn't lie.

[feathershedding]

There's such a thing as being very polite.

Ayako-chan will look good no matter what wig she's wearing. When dancing something like that.

[feathershedding]

Like an old lady.

[onelittlefeather]

The older musumeyaku in Takarazuka still looked good after all those years, because they carried themselves with maturity and confidence - and everyone respected them very much. When Ayako-chan puts on that wig, it'll be the same!

[feathershedding]

It won't be the same.

[onelittlefeather]

Did Miu-chan say something wrong?

[feathershedding]

I don't know. Did you? Shouldn't you know that, Miu-chan?

[onelittlefeather]

Sometimes people say hurtful things without meaning for them to be hurtful! Since I can't read Ayako-chan's mind, she'll have to let me know when that happens.

[feathershedding]

Adorable Miu-chan. Always the same problem.

Mmn.

[onelittlefeather]

It'll be wonderful for Ueno-sensei to actually perform on stage again, right?

It will! I'm so excited for him, I don't think I've ever seen him on stage!
