tattoo covered, Elyse waited offstage. Candy was about to finish her set. Elyse took a deep breath. She was up next. She quickly checked her costume - everything seemed to be in order. Then again, what she was quite revealing. Bring in great shape, Elyse had accentuated that.
Another breath. ”You’ll be okay. You got this!” A girl behind her said. Anna was her name.
Elyse smiled in gratitude as Candy left the stage. Elyse came in at her introduction. In her mind, all sounds besides the music stopped. Elyse moved into her routine. As Mae had told her, a lot of her skills transferred. She moved with grace and balance and told a story with her dance. The audience wouldn’t know, but it was her story. A lone wolf seeking a pack.
As Elyse grew more comfortable, she looked more into her audience. They seemed to be responding well. She had to wonder how her eyes glowed in the lights and how many people actually knew they were her real eyes.
Edit ((OOC: if it’s not clear - she didn’t finish on stage yet))
