Song inspiration for this post: The Arena

My Lamb is a dancer! I wanted to highlight that with some sketches of various poses my friend sent me as inspiration!!

Aluhé was a part of a traveling flock that focused on entertaining crowds for money. They were the main dancer when they got older and sometimes even sang in bars/crowded areas to attract more people to their family's little business (think Kingdom Dance from Tangled if you want a clear visual).

This act continued even when they ran away and found Jahel's little flock. They'd often dance in the fields or try to teach Jahel how to dance.

When meeting Narinder the bishop would often ask to see Aluhé perform and every time Aluhé would say "only if you dance with me" as a form of rejection. After some time, Narinder accepted the proposal and said he'd dance with Aluhé when he's freed from his prison.

The two of them did eventually dance (it was actually how their final fight ended, with Aluhé dancing with Narinder's dying body before ultimately killing him) and they often dance together when they want to share intimate moments without wanting to deal with the aftermath of ripping each other's flesh off their bones. They are not a healthy duo! But they have their little moments here and there.

Idk if it's noticed but I often keep Aluhé's hooves drawn like ballerina feet solely because I think it's a silly little note to the fact they're a dancer. Their outfit is also inspired after dancers. I imagine Narinder's main form of dancing comes from SEA influence while Aluhé's comes from South American/Caribbean influence. They do share one type of dancing in common and that's intimate dances such as tango, bachata, ballet, etc.
