Meg looked at her a little uneasily.
"Well... I already live here in the dormitories-"

She sighed a bit wistfully.
"I wish I could do something like that. But dad would never allow it."

"My mama was a dancer, and so when she had me, she put me in the ballet when I was three years old. It's... sort of the only life I know," she said a little shyly, shrugging.

They had reached a little bench set against the wall. Meg sat in a little flutter of practice petticoats.
"...did you run away?" she whispered.

Shilo sat down next to her, dropping her handbag by her feet.
"Yep. A few months ago. I, uh, had to go back, but I've been sneaking out ever since. I never knew how interesting things could be until then."
