I attended a dress rehearsal for a holiday performance, recently, and it got me thinking ... Radley would attend public school, at least for a short while, which means Heathcliff and Sherry would likely attend a school concert or two--they have to support their son, after all!

Anyway, imagining one of the songs having a dance number, and all the kids being uncoordinated while performing (as kids often are--the important thing is that they're having fun). After it ends, Heathcliff mutters, "That wasn't very coordinated, was it?" and Sherry punches him in the arm before hissing, "You're one to talk about coordination."

#Heathcliff canonically cannot dance--this is revealed in Canto II and I think it's adorable #reminds me of another piece of Sherry lore ... but that's for another time #anyway--Radley being so proud after the concert and Heathcliff is casting around for compliments because he has no idea what to say #Sherry takes over the praising‚ here‚ I think ... it's cute to think about because it shows how she's grown to support those she loves #because old Sherry would not have given a rat's arse about a silly school concert #but after meeting Heathcliff she learns to encourage and support people's interests and pursuits ... even if she doesn't see the appeal #and Heathcliff *does* eventually say something nice to Radley about the concert--he just takes a while because he doesn't want--#--to hurt his son's feelings since this was so important to him #otp: the adventure of wuthering heights ⛈️🔍#r: remind my heart to beat 💢#si: to a great mind‚ nothing is little 🤎#f: baker street's irregular 🧬#scattered pages
