When I was very small, my grandmother had me take ballet, to teach me grace.
I was a clumsy kid, always knockin' into stuff.
Had a few recitals, but that years years an' years ago. I think I was like
eight or nine when I traded ballet for gymnastics.

quoting the old adage 'idle hands are the Devil's workshop,' Amos had done
soccer, ballet, martial arts, gymnastics, piano, and been both a choir boy
and an altar boy at their church. He taps the top ball of his tongue
piercing against the roof of his mouth, expression briefly thoughtful as he
debates ages, before he grins again at Firo.]
