Quoted By:
[咏柳]
碧玉妆成一树高,万条垂下绿丝绦。
不知细叶谁裁出,二月春风似剪刀。
Willow Song
Slender as the dressed height of jade
Ten thousand streams of green cascades;
Whence comes the fronds and delicate braids?
Verdant wind, of second moon -
Becomes her scissoring blades.
(QM: in my translated version above I take a liberty splitting the final stanza in two, second moon actually refers to February.)

You are attempting to blend into the crowd as Willowjade The Fan Girl gives her dance performance. Whilst she moves in an elegant and graceful manner, you wonder if she is perhaps a little new and nervous. Willowjade appears very self-conscious, as she keeps eyeing Sir Aguecheek / "Legolast, the Last Elf" to see if he (?) is watching her. It does not appear Willowjade's courtship fan-dance is producing much effect, arousing the desired ardour in the disinterested Last Elf, or even leading to any reciprocal attention at all...
As you are examining this awkward scene, another Pagoda entertainer has approached your vicinity.
