[He's not. Not until he has a dance out of Tetsuo. Kaneda strides back out, seeing Tetsuo attempting to keep rhythm...watching his feet as he goes through the motion. It was more polished this time--an actual attempt instead of a little experimental whim.

A thoughtful 'hmmm' escapes as he walks closer.]

What if you started from the ground instead of lifting your leg back?

[iamtetsuo]

Start from the ground...?

[rassera]

[Kaneda gives a soft nod, moving into place behind him.]

On the...is it the second or third beat? You go--[He lives his leg back to start the scuff on the ground, in demonstration.]

If you do it here...[Moving his heel to just before the scuff itself, instead of it going all the way back.]

It'll work better with this song.

[iamtetsuo]

...I see... so if I...

[He repeats those back in a quiet mutter, trying to internalize the clarification while he moves. It's still awkward, trying to match those movements exactly. Start his heel down closer to the ground...

Kaneda's right. It takes less time. Scuff-step, reach-tap, step. The surprise on his face when his feet just seem to make it work, for once, betrays his absolute conviction that he never would.]

[rassera]

[Kaneda backs up a step as Tetsuo tries to perform it with the given edits, rocking back on his heels when he starts to go into the motion. His eyes keep to his feet, lips pursed until he finishes...


And then bursting with the same amount of surprise and happiness when it works.

A hand reaches out, wrapping itself around Tetsuo's shoulders.]

And you said you had no rhythm!

That wasn't so hard, right?

[iamtetsuo]

[Stares at his own feet, then at Kaneda's, 'did I do that??' written all over his face.]

I still don't... [Did you see how hard he had to count those steps, Kaneda, that clearly means he has none, no one else has to count like that to do anything ] But that worked! I don't believe it!
