While others tried to engage him in conversation, and he tried to keep up in earnest, Raiyuk was lost for the bulk of his interactions with those not born to Moontide. They spoke rapidly and with accents he could not place, or about things which he was not trained to know, and he fell further and further behind (and further distracted by his ineptitude); which in turn, made him withdraw further.

When he looked back to Seal and the girls, he could not see her. At once the anxiety of the party grew tenfold and he stopped, looking one way then another, and was about to ask a passing coyote if they had seen someone of her description — how could you lose her? You had one job, what will you tell her parents, what will you father think of you now? Can't even protect a girl — she was abruptly at his side as if summoned.

Saying something about dancing, and crowding in close. Raiyuk felt a wave of relief to see her again, and then dread! Dancing? He didn't know how to dance! He had not learned such things, and had no reason to learn, which again fed in to his recent brewing inferiority; but Raiyuk did not want to disappoint Seal either, so he hastened to follow with a half-hearted, Uhhh okay, lets — right, ok.

All the way to the dance floor, which was far more exposed than he liked!
