Cat could see the lanterns of travelers, though. They were taking advantage of the level terrain and hurrying to reach the ferry at the treacherous stretch of water called Now Broken. When she reached a fairly deserted area of the highway, Cat showed Kasane the “floating step.” The courtesans had originally used it, but it had caught on among women of fashion in both capitals. Cat was still trying to teach Kasane the various arts of attracting a man. She was hoping Kasane’s suitor would become so taken with her that he would lure her away from Cat’s dangerous company. “Turn your body like this.” Cat swiveled slightly at the waist. “Move your feet as though you’re kicking sand with your toes.” Kasane laughed behind her sleeve as she minced along. Cat put her hands on Kasane’s shoulders and turned them a bit more. “Stand as though you’re about to glance back over your shoulder at your lover,” she said. “Your body should express your melancholy at leaving him. Or you can look as though you’re inviting him to follow you.”
