It was probably safe.
The bar was...unusually reticent, in the lower layers of her mind (and she hadn't pried further; she wasn't sure if she'd be noticed; she wasn't sure if offending would get her kicked out, and regardless of whether it was actually safe it was safer than anywhere else she'd been for the past...three years?) so she couldn't be sure this place wasn't really a trap of some kind, but the higher layers gave a plausible explanation that didn't involve being a trap, and whatever else it was warm and dry and had food. Her guard was probably a full 25% down. Positively trusting, these days.

"Teleportation I'm less sure. I missed a lot of opportunities by getting good physical coordination well before I became a double magical girl, so I've already gotten a fair amount of the yen to run and dance and ice skate out of my system..."

"Okay, I can--waltz, foxtrot, tango, or lindy hop. My sister keeps dragging me to various dance classes, so I'm competent but not fantastic at all of them."

Bar provides! Dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah, daaaaaaah.

Edie's coordination isn't perfect but there's nothing in particular wrong with it. This is fun.

Whee indeed. Edie may or may not be grinning like a loon, she can't tell, she can't see her face to tell whether or not her grin counts as loony.

Waltz waltz waltz. "I never went to school dances or anything."

"Mostly balance. My gross motor control wasn't that great, I'd knock mugs off tables and stuff, but my handwriting and so on were fine."
