Without A fight?
I often get asked how much of me is in my characters. Typically I would say that they are their own characters, but you can't escape part of who you are showing up in your stories and your characters. This scene probably has a bit more of me than any of the rest. I can be a bit fiery, especially when pushed like Reka is by the Sari. Anger can be a great motivator and this isn't the only scene that sudden and decisive action is prompted by Reka's outrage.
Desperation
The bonfire scene that follows this was the initial scene that sparked the entire book. It was clear the gathering was being done in secret. It made we wonder why these people were out risking getting caught just to dance. Also, it made me wonder why dancing would be forbidden. Those questions spawned the whole story.
