“You don’t have to stand on your toes,” I started. Abirami looked confused, so I clarified. “It just makes you unstable. There’s not enough time to really worry about technique, it’s better to just focus on not falling over.” For the first time, I noticed Abirami’s ears were red, and by the way he was constantly keeping Jade at arm’s length and stepping away from her whenever he could, I could guess the rest of the issue. “I know, it’s rather awkward,” I said, with a nervous giggle. The secondhand discomfort of the situation was enough that I was probably blushing in sympathy. I hoped they wouldn’t notice.
