Etho knew Cleo was a survivor, but this was NOT on his 20XX bingo card. How on overworld did she manage to crawl out of her grave? They had sealed her in deepslate!
Cleo herself doesn’t feel very different. They’re a bit miffed about being buried, and their hatred of deepslate has grown exponentially, but other than that they’re fine. She’s reunited with her husband, and that’s all that matters.
It was nice in a way, hearing Etho mourn her. It meant they were getting closer to the surface.

Cleo just wishes people would stop acting so weird about it. Like, jeez, she only crawled out of her grave? No need to make a big deal out of it.
Etho is exempt from this. She will take every touch of his, or crushing hug, or kiss, gladly. And he can't say she doesn't love him. She loves him enough to come back from the dead, what could be more romantic than that?
Ok so I also just really LOVE drawing dancing, although its so hard, its almost always worth the effort! So some desertduo dancing, and a few of my other favorite team-ups 💕

Scar is the first person to trip into a hole or fly face-first into a wall, but is an inexplicably natural dancer. He picks up any style effortlessly! This annoys Grian very much, who, though he can be 'graceful' in the air, is very clumsy on his feet.
Pearl and Gem's waltz is more of a duel of spinning. Who can get the other person dizzy enough to fall? This devolves into a tornado of cackling, lifting, tossing, whirling until either they both collapse or a sword fight breaks out 😂 It's fine, a sword fight has to break out at a party for either to consider it a success.
Cleo and Etho dance like they have no plan whatsoever. They are dancing with different styles to different tunes in their heads but somehow it just works? Toes are getting stepped on and elbows are getting bruised but they don't seem to notice or mind. This dance has worked for them for years, no reason to change it up now!
