Dance with me.

Have you rested enough, my child?
I think so. What have you brought me here to do?
What do you think you should do?
Should I sing?
Not tonight. You do that enough already.
Should I pray?
Maybe a little, but I want to do most of the talking this time.
Should I dance.
Sure, go ahead, dance...
But wait, I'll look silly. No, no, I can't do that. Maybe I could-
YOU DANCE FOR THEM! Why can't you dance for me? You are more comfortable around them than me?
No, that's not what I meant... perhaps. It-, I-, um...
Hush... come dance with me.
I do not know how.
Then walk with me.
This way?
No. Not with them this time. Tonight it is just you and I.
Then where?
This way, to a place only you and I can be.
But so much good is happening right here.
Are you going to spend your whole life standing still? You say you want to hear me, so listen. Follow me.
Show me the way.
Here we are.
It's...beautiful. You made this just for me? When?
It's been here all along.
Why couldn't I see?
You were too busy looking to them.
Why have you brought me here?
To teach you to dance. Try.
I am so clumsy.
You will learn. Now take my hand... I will show you more of this place.
There is more?
Oh my child, don't you understand? we have barely scratched the surface.

Come. Come see what I have prepared for you. Come see what you've been missing out on. Come explore a place that will blow your mind. Come celebrate. Come... Come dance with me!
