Summary: The traditional dance Xing was famous for its beauty and complexity. It was not just a dance, but also a compendium of philosophy, and martial arts. Helped you understand the life and war. And sometimes ... even love.
Notes: This was one of the first oneshots that I devised for the table, although he has not written so far. The truth is that I regret not having written before, because there has been nothing like I wanted. In fact, I struggled to finish it, because it was developed in a very rare. ButC - Q-WHAT? He cried, and had to make superhuman efforts to reduce the decibel level of their normal tone of voice. Waka ! "QQQ-what are you saying?
- I do not do well! -The glass slipped from her hands pathetically try to quit several times back on the table and was about to fall out on the floor. With burning cheeks, use whatever inched Ling, adoptinga more confidential air. Waka , please, I do not dance. - Ehhh? Ling mimicked his tone, smiling. Do not be like that woman. Huan's birthday dance ...
- Q-what? I do not remember that ...
- they were not drunk, so you should remember ...
- There were seven other girls besides me dancing!
- See how you remembered himself?
Ed, Al and Winry sank d - How dare you speak in that tone to a princess of Xing?! Mei snapped, broken.
- Not my princess, so give me like, "replied the other, with the same ferocity.
- foul-mouthed bitch Damn!
- Yao clan Washerwomen have more status than you!
Watercress exceeded the barrier of the intelligible when both girls started to scream at Xing. Those outbursts were also common between the two brunettes, but that did not prevent the memberin the face to make it back (but again had to withdraw immediately to avoid the savage bite that Xiaomei launched his fingers) As Al also intervened to calm the princess, Ling told his companion in quietly
- Come on, Lan Fan, please. Been long away from home, I feel nostalgia. Here we are like family. You need not feel uncomfortable.
She hesitated at a request so honest and straightforward, feeling cornered. I could not get to argue with him there front of everyone. And Ling & iacu sabI, a. It was a very clever move, of course. He pursed his lips, flushed, and looked to others, who had been watching expectantly. Pinako withdrew the pipe from his lips with parsimony and said gravely:
- The truth is that it would be a wonderful show, baby. I've never left my age Amestris and I doubt that even and leave Resembool. I've heard amazing things about the traditions of Xing, and in particular say that dancing is awesome. I feel very honored to see it in my living room at home. That
was too much. Lan Fan sank completely defeated. Prevented him from his own idiosyncrasies absolutely ignore the wishes of an elder. Ling raised his thumb in the direction Pinako, smiling complicity behind his escort, and she returned the gesture covertly all on herself.
- E-is well-agreed in the end the poor girl. I will ... N-I need a few things, Pinako-san ...
- Whatever you want, dear.
Fan Lan got up and met with Pinako shuffling, died of shame.hellip; Ahhh, thank you very much, Mei. Ling
accepted the instrument that was going on the Princess Pequena cash and long-necked round, turning in his hands to examine and verify the final result. Mei also transmuted the bow and strings, and while the fit and tuned it, Ed and Winry returned from the kitchen and joined the other three, looking around with interest. The heir to the Yao was playing a basic melody to test when he finally reappeared Pinako and Lan Fan. The latter had entered into two long arms pillow, like a sleeve, which was tied to the height of the shoulders almost dragged him to the ground.
- Wow, great costume! Ling cried at her, smiling with enthusiasm. What a great idea, Lan Fan!
- Ditto, waka dryly, "she whispered in reply, staring at the erhu
.
- Well ... I would have been better with accompanying pipe too, but you know he plays the pipe
is Huan, I just use the erhu & hellip ;
- Do not worry, it is necessary to assemble an orchestrato this nonsense ...
While all helped to remove the chairs and put off the table as a theater, went to Lan Ling Fan, humor oozing from every pore.
- What do you play? He asked in a confidential whisper, laughing softly as a kid. What will you sing?
- Do I have to sing ? "Cried she choked, looking back in horror.
- Sure! If not, the show will, Very simple ...
- You know I hate singing! Do not you just put me through this shame?
- Do not be dramatic, is not so bad ...
- You missed me not
me, humiliate me only missed!
- By God, Lan Fan! "Ling laughed, but soon turned to her with warmth, giving him an intimate smile and a little use whatever approaching her, half playing. How can you say those things? Come on, do it for m &to it. He looked as wanting to sink into the ground and it was impossible not to notice how the whole face was burning, wasting away in shyness. But he frowned, taking a deep breath to calm down, and closed his eyes while making sure that the sleeves were long, improvisational secure. Then he clutched his collar and two buttons unbuttoned, exposing part of the shoulders. Ed jumped in his chair, blushing, and quickly bowed to Ling, sitting beside her, to whisper
- Hey ... what kind of dance is & ea way that the young woman began to move Xing seemed oblivious to the logical laws of gravity. Again as in the fight, Lan Fan resembled mass a paper puppet, light as a feather, that a body of flesh and bone. Shuffled by the smooth surface of the table, moving from one extreme to another with slow flow, linking steps and pirouettes with incredible ease, at any time without interrupting the movement itself. No gesture brushed brusquely. The delicacy and elegance wrapped it completely. But most impressive was how he began to handle those very long sleeves. Movementarms was constant and yet extremely smooth. Just let it touch the table cloth, created undulating shapes in the air. The volvíaa recogíay toss gently to the cadence of the melancholy music, arching his body from side to side like a flexible bamboo branch. They were all half hypnotized when she started singing.
bei fang you jia ren shi Thurs er du li yi gu qing ren
cheng zai gu qing ren guo ning bu zhi qing cheng yu qing guo jia ren nan zai of
Your give voice was tooweak and shaky, and I certainly do not sing very well, but still more than one he bristled the hair on the skin. In Mei's face there was no trace of skepticism and Lan Fan watched with wide eyes. Ling does not take his eyes off his left hand sliding down the strings of the erhu
almost lovingly clutched while the right arch shape mechanically, without giving the slightest atenció na what I did. Lan Fan But then made a tricky move in one corner of the table, and Ling increased the intensity with which he played, up slightly the pace of meloday. The intensity of the dance also grew. Fan Lan rolled several times on itself with outstretched arms, the sleeves floating around her like ribbons in the wind. He put his hand right on the table to win over her upside down, drawing a bow with the legs in the air to perform the somersault. And again volvíaa standing, sliding fabric around her arms and legs mixed in a complex repertoire of steps in which it was difficult to determine how the hell was still standing on the table and sometimes she seemed to float. When he began to sing the second verse, his voice also appears &No empire with a single touch.
- Go ... - is a song so romantic! Mei-burst, wiping his eyes again and her hands to her cheeks. My aunt always sang to me! It has been my favorite song since I have memory ...
- Well, not very romantic, the truth-Ling laughed. It reminds me more death and destruction ...
- It's romantic! -Mei glared at him. Có; Mo Emperor fell in love with a humble woman, and he loved with all his soul beyond the social differences ...
- That's a very watered down version of reality. The woman that inspired the emperor was not love, but desire. And it's not to love her with all his soul, is that the guy was half crazy and led his country to ruin. The only thing that this woman was there where were was destroyed. The song itself says so.
- would you know! He snapped his sister, crying dramati Stoicentered the seraglio. But she was not only beautiful, but also terribly ambitious. Almost brainwashed him to the emperor and his advice led to ruin Xing. At the end there was a rebelióny the emperor was murdered by one of their children. She was executed shortly thereafter. Since then the Zhang clan fell from grace and lost virtually all power to be in poverty. For two or three generations are not even accepted Zhang princesses of the imperial harem and concubines of the emperor.
- That story is totally out of context! Mei cried, reddening. & Iexcl; The Emperor went crazy! Just learned to see things from another perspective through the power of love! He tried to carry out reform, but it seems that Xing have to be a robot without feelings fríoy to govern, if you show some humanity fall from grace! That poor man was a martyr of love!
Everyone at the table stared at her open-mouthed. Only took three seconds to explode in a general laugh. Ed and Ling were the most outrageous, laughing heartily until their eyes welled with tears. Winry and Lan Fan sTMLXC - There is a legend-Ling dried her tears, trying to control. It is recorded in history books as the greatest crisis the rule has never crossed Xing from the wars of unification of three thousand years ago ... - Lies! And even if true, that does not justify the ostracism suffered yet! My poor mother has to endure terrible humiliation in the harem! All other wives of the emperor called North snake! They are all day making life impossible!
CHTMLXXC - So lucky that I have is so fertile-Ling burst into laughter again, leaving his sister with his temple throbbing vein of anger, then turned to the too s to clarify, "It's that Mom has a habit of encouraging harem life by throwing tear gas canisters from time to time, in the most unexpected places and moments. The Empress Mother got so fed up of it not being able to beat her back to sleep with the emperor not ever change his behavior. But as I was already born, she did not care.
- overview & Go; Iacute; easy out of the hole when you've fallen into it.
- ... after so many centuries and still facing this way, "Mei was muttering under his breath, crouched in a corner of the table, head in hands surrounded Xiaomei black waves while trying to console her. After everything we've done for Xing ... Where do the best doctors in war? From Zhang! Who are increasingly turning to the emperor is ill? At Zhang! Leading experts in rentanjutsu ... We have given the great personal rulesonalities ... and just remind us of that stupid story for hundreds of years ...
- Come, come, Mei-Ling took pity on her and gave her a light pat on the back comfort mode. You know that's what it's up to the lesser clans. Although we do great things, the credit always take you the rest ...
- What do you mean? "Said Ed, raising an eyebrow.
- The power has always Xing ranged from the most powerful clans, "said the prince, leaningon the table and resting her head on her hand. Right now the main four. The Fa, in the southern region, the largest clan of the empire that dominated virtually all commercial activity. Have access to the sea and that makes them that much. Have become filthy rich. The north is under the control of Liu. They were a clan as miserable as any lower, but two or three generations ago they found some important mines and began to exploit the rich overnight. In the east are the large plantations and farmland, almost all under the power of the Han, but it is a very rural area and the four of them are less influential. And &. Here the clans begin to rise, but the heir to the Han did not seem to have any interest in the throne. Liu both have exploited the poor northern clans who are on the verge of rebellion, said Mei thumb. The Zhang not only doctors have been important over the centuries, have also worked in the mines. In the north there are many experts in rentanjutsu . And many have died to satisfy the ambition of Liu. And Fong ... good, Fong has always been afraid of the Fa and have lived in its shadow has always been acting as his lapdog. But if not for the military support they willmoment after another quick exchange of glances with Lan Fan, and went on
- Inside the Western system, the Yao have a very good position. In fact, our status is not far from that of Fong. We are vital to the military policy of Xing.
- What do you mean? -Winry blinked.
- Well ... "the prince smiled one of his extensive and malicious smiles, clapping a hand to his chest with pride. The Yao are the largest suppliers of explosives and military weapons of all Xing! The best experts in pólvora and chemistry are in my clan.
of Amestris The collapsed on the table.
- Of course, what a stupid question ... - but also train the elite troops of the imperial army's secret service. And the explosives are used only for military purposes but also in the mining and engineering works. Actually encompasses many fields. My grandfather was one of the ablest leaders had the clan in a long time and has created a network of valuable contacts. It is not something I can darmand the luxury of wasting ...
- Actually, Ling-sama did not begin his own career to the throne when he came here in search of the Philosopher's Stone, "he hastened to add Lan Fan, rising unconsciously with pride. It's something that started many years ago. If Fong do not move, we move the Yao. We are not afraid. Many clans believe Fa would challenge the collapse of empire, but that's not true. The Fa are nothing without military protection that we provide them, or without the knowledge and materials of the north and east. A single clan can not drown 49. Minor clans have large, Desktop search, music.
suddenly stood up and faced Mei decisively. Her eyes widened in surprise.
- What about Mei? The prince smiled, holding out a hand. Would you like to fight with me to conquer an empire?
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Pinako ended making tea and conversation went on until well into night. The old woman also spoke with them war and politics. Ed and Al involved contributing ideas and conjectures, as iftime to compensate.
Lan Fan flushed at once, staying rigid.
- No way! He snapped.
- Why not? Now you can not say that you're embarrassed, just the two of us ...
- And that is even worse!
Ling laughed. He raised his arms in disbelief for a moment and then leaned back, resting his hands on the colchóny dedicating her friend a sly smile. CHTMsmile widened slowly, looking up and down briefly.
- I did not express well-said, tilting her head. Rather say that you never would ruin my empire. Your advice and warnings have always been the best I've ever had. So I can drop dead in love in your arms with all the tranquility of the world, because I know you will guide me in the right direction.
the girl's face burned Masy yet he could not help laughing.
- Well, are you going to dancee, and went to bed in two strides, getting to it quickly and mercilessly beating the hands of the prince with his automail when he tried to catch it on the road. In less than a blink, she slid under the covers and pulled them down over his ears, making a ball and sticking to the wall. Ling burst into protests as a kid, rubbing his hands sore, but she did not move, static like a stone. And when he realized he would not get any response, snorted frustracióny extinguished the lamp, also getting into bedat. However, it was unable to stop smiling, extremely awake despite the hour.
- Lan Fan ... "she whispered, leaning back to look at the dark ceiling of the room. We only got a grunt in reply. Thanks for helping with Mei. Never took the time to talk to her. And it was necessary to put the cards on the table before returning to Xing. She removed her hand, relaxing a little.
- Sure it was not you who put me on a plate to me asking me to dance? He asked softly.
end ...
But ... love was like that, right? You could spend half my life dancing to invisible music. Moving almost without realizing it, leaning on opportunities to create new ones by leveling up ... until the melody was so intense that announced the imminent end of the piece. And when he reached that point, there was only prepared for the final step to close the ball with the same fluidity that had marked his pace throughout the years. Without stopping, but without haste. Anyway, Ling knew full well that the end of that dance was tn fence could almost touch him with your fingers.- Lan Fan-whispered again in her hair, her voice is something more serious, "will dance for me when we get home? Just for me?
- I'll think, "she said, hinting at a joke that was deflated so his voice sounded muffled.
She could hear the music. Ling was safe. And he pressed his body, hiding the smile on the shoulder of his white shirt.
- If you do ... pro
