Cora actually did care what Kleo thought -- she cared what everyone thought, actually, but Kleo was in a different demographic, and so kinda spoke for the uni kids. Sort of, anyway. But also, Kleo always came across as very sensible and level-headed whenever Cora spoke to her, which meant she was probably very thoughtful, so good to ask about something like this.

"Well, you would think so." She laughed. "And I guess if there's enough variety, try and do a little something for everyone... I'm sure it'll all work out. I'm getting a bit in my head about it."

Of course whenever anyone thought of couples taking dance classes their minds went to waltzes and tangos and foxtrots and things, and admittedly, that was the first thing Cora had thought of. But this guy brought up a pretty good idea: couples dance classes that weren't actually based on anything at all. Just enough to teach you the basics, so that you felt competent. Competency led to confidence, and boosting the confidence of others was pretty much Cora's life goal.

"Okay," She said slowly, nodding as she jotted down a few more things. "Something sort of like... 'at the end of this class you'll be able to go to your uni roommate's wedding and feeling like you have an idea of what you're doing on the dancefloor' -- that sorta thing?"

"I am! Well - I'm trying to." She said, shrugging as if it wasn't the biggest thing on her mind right now. "I have the money from the bank, and I kinda have a unit I like the look of, but I just gotta make sure the interest is there, y'know? Before I go handing around a petition."

The petition, which she had already written and could easily begin handing around. Cora never liked to admit to being nervous to anything, but... she was nervous. This was a big deal! And those nerves were the only thing really holding her back. "So, what do you think? Am I being ridiculous, or....?"

This was not a problem for Cora, who thought she could be pretty charismatic - she didn't want to sound too arrogant, but she thought she could convince at least a couple of people who "didn't really dance" to get in the spirit of things. But, as it turned out, she didn't have to sell him on anything - he came up with his own idea, and a good one, at that.

"Oh, for sure," She nodded eagerly, scribbling a note down. "And, okay-- so you're not much of a dancer. But would you be more likely to come to a dance class if you were with your partner?"

"Hi!" Cora smiled, stepping in someone's path right as they were about to walk past. "Quick question, won't take a minute -- would a dance school opening up in Swynlake be something you'd be interested in? And if yes, what kind of dance would you be interested in learning?" She raised her notepad, ready to write down their answer.

Cora shrugged her shoulders, smiling at the compliment. She could've argued, said that she wasn't really that smart, just very good (some may say too good) at moving her body. The essays and things had been difficult but hey, those were all over now, so she would quite happily sip her drink and take the compliment from Mitte.

"I don't know that Evy has a type," She mused, pulling her straw away from her mouth where it had gotten stuck to her lipgloss. "I think she just likes who she likes. But don't worry, I'll be keeping everyone in the loop. If I can get it up and off the ground, that is."

It would be sad to leave the gym and Pride U behind, but she really did want to get started on it, get a good client base going, staff that she could trust to run it, in her absence. Sometimes she wondered what the point was, if she was going to have to go back to the Temple anyways, but... it was what she had always wanted to do. She would always kick herself if she didn't at least try.

She tilted her head, looking at Mitte with a sly smile. "So - if you're not the ambitious type, what type are you?"

Cora grinned, glad for the go-ahead, feeling a little like there was a challenge in Mal's words. Really, though, she didn't need any more incentive to do her worst. She pressed her hand against the tight skin of Mal's toned abdomen, with enough pressure to signal her to lie back, reversing their positions from before. She never took her hand away from between the other woman's legs, stroking her fingers over her folds, occasionally dipping between them, teasing for just a moment.

Once Mal was on her back Cora moved her lips down her body, following the trail her hand had just taken. She ran her tongue over Mal's nipples, circling one before moving to the other, sucking lightly, rolling the piercing over her tongue. She moved lower, shifting backwards until she could hook one of her legs over her shoulder.

Cora nipped at her inner thigh, pulling her hand away from Mal's core to replace it with her tongue, licking a stripe upward until her nose bumped against the other woman's clit, a low moan escaping Cora as she tasted her.

Cora took her drink, taking a small sip. She wasn't exactly the type of person who needed a little Dutch courage, or a little liquor to loosen her up, but that wasn't to say it didn't help. She also wasn't really the type of person to find anyone else intimidating, but Mitte was hot in that intimidating sort of way, drawing eyes as they settled in.

"I'm just about to finish my master's," Cora said with a shrug, as if it was nothing. It was, in fact, a stupidly big deal. She knew she was running out of time on the whole Muse rumspringa thing, and she wanted to get her degree and set up a dance school before she had to leave it all behind completely. Besides, she was proud of it! It had been a tonne of work. "Dance Education. I want to open a dance school." She grinned.

Cora's chest heaved as she came down from the high, her body feeling comfortably heavy and achey in all the right ways. She panted to catch her breath, her face twisting a little as Mal pulled her hand away, leaving behind a sudden emptiness. Still, she was pretty easily distracted from it by Mal's lips on hers. Cora wrapped her arms around the other woman's neck to keep her close, returning the kiss lazily, still a little hazy with satisfaction to properly give back what she was getting.

Once she had her breath back she pulled back, shifting so she was sitting up, guiding Mal upright as well. "Not to inflate your ego," She said, beginning a trail of kisses along Mal's skin, starting by the corner of her mouth and down, along her jaw, to her neck. "But you are very good with her hands."

Which Cora was sure Mal knew, given how cocky she was, but hey, Cora believed in giving positive feedback no matter how repetitive it was. She trailed her hands down Mal's front, palming her breasts and circling her hardened nipples with her thumbs for just a moment before she carried on, one hand slipping easily between Mal's legs. "Do I get to be in charge, now?" She teased, grinning as she nipped at the junction of her neck.

"Thank you," Cora preened, waggling her shoulders as Mitte complimented her outfit as if to show it off just a little bit more. She didn't exactly feel underdressed standing next to Mitte - she had gone for sort of dressy, sort of casual, which was the most she thought anyone could expect of her with the weather now warming up - but in that very cute, very short dress, she thought the two of them probably did make a bit of a funny picture.

She hooked her arm through Mitte's as it as offered, happy enough to be led along to the bar. There was at least a decent amount of people in, a few people already on the dancefloor. Cora grinned as they reached the bar, saying, "Oh, I'm not fancy -- vodka and coke will do me just fine."

After feeling as though they had definitely hit it off at prom, Cora had made sure to get Mitte's number, because it seemed like an oversight that they hadn't hung out before and she would very much like to rectify that. It had just sort of... never come up, Cora supposed.

But Mitte seemed fun and flirty in a way that Cora very much felt was reflected in herself, and sure opposites attracted or whatever, but it was always nice to spend time with someone who could give as good as they got.

And anyway, Cora would use any opportunity to go out for a couple of drinks, especially now that she had done all she needed to do for the end of her master's. She was free as a bird, aside from, y'know, work. But her schedule was pretty flexible, so she was quite happy to spend an evening out, getting to know Mitte over a few cocktails.

She met her outside, giving her a little wave. "Hey," She grinned. "Nice to see you again -- wanna go in?"

Cora writhed, a light sheen sweat breaking out over her skin as her hips moved up to meet the thrust of Mal's fingers. The stretch felt good, aching in just the right way until it gave way to nothing but pleasure, the pressure on her clit drawing a littany of curses from her mouth.

She grabbed at Mal again, one hand carding through her short hair, tugging lightly as the other woman sucked at her breast. She could feel just how wet she was, made even wetter by the extra attention, making the hard anf fast slide of Mal's fingers into her even easier.

Cora could feel the heat beginning to pool in her gut, more and more under Mal's ministrations. When the other woman's fingers pushed deeper into her, pressing at that sweet spot that made her breath catch, Cora knew she was done for. Her back arched again, pussy tightening around Mal's fingers as she came with a drawn-out moan.

When Evy said don't worry about that, Cora said, okay! Maybe she should've been offering to pitch in or to pay the whole thing, seeing as she was about to be getting a decent amount of money (which had to go towards the costs of setting up a business, but still -- not the point), but she knew it was a nice gesture. And Cora believed there was such a thing as a free lunch, so she wasn't really inclined to argue.

"That does sound perfect." Cora grinned. She might be a little under-dressed, because having to dress in a way that looked sort of business casual, or at the very least seemed respectable enough for the people at the bank not to laugh at her, meant she'd had to pick an outfit that was pretty boring. "You're gonna show me up." She teased.

Cora's world narrowed down to the points where Mal was touching her, lips and teeth at her breast, those long fingers inside of her. It was so much, and yet not enough-- she knew Mal was intentionally ignoring her clit, winding her up, and yet she didn't have the energy to be bratty about it. Every time she thought about some snippy comment Mal's fingers curled and twisted in a way that made her see stars and the words were lost, translated into a moan as Cora's hips shifted unintentionally.

When Mal's lips found hers Cora ran her hands up into her hair, fingers curling in it, using it to hold her there until they had to break apart. Cora was panting anyhow, and as Mal spoke she met her gaze, her own dark eyes almost black from her blown pupils. She tried again to find her words, say something snarky, maybe, but Mal finally find her clit and Cora groaned, back arching again.

At the mention of more she nodded, catching Mal's gaze again. "Yes," she moaned, pulling Mal in for another clumsy, hungry kiss. "Fuck, yes, I want more--"

Cora had known that Evangeline would be happy for her, and she was glad that she had been right, because this was exactly what she needed right now - mutual excitement, and a willingness to celebrate. Maybe Cora shouldn't celebrate too hard, since she did still need to try and save money, but it was only one night! And if she didn't celebrate, she was going to lose her mind.

She laughed at the rush ideas, taking a deep breath to steady herself. "Honestly, I'm happy to do whatever. As long as there's champagne. Or, like, prosecco. Loan or no, I don't think I have champagne money." Cora joked. "Either way, though, I just wanted to say... thank you. For listening to me complain a bunch and putting up with it."
