I'm tagging in to you right now! :D Also as I tagged in, I realized it would be really funny if Clive assumes she's better than she is and just like...demolishes her at this...
Clea is very intense and does not do coddling. She's like..the anti-coddler. Deep down it comes from a decent place, but it's almost all tough love all the time. With emphasis on the 'tough' part. She also shares his tendency for self-neglect, but that's recent and grief-induced. She generally takes pretty good care of herself when she's not on the verge of a breakdown...
I think dancing could be really interesting. Clea loves art in all it's forms and it's a good in road to seeing her...not being a giant bruise emotionally. It's where her joy flows from and she's pleased to share it. Clea's not noble, but her family are rich Parisians, so she knows all the (what she'd consider) stuffy old classical and partner dances as well and they would have been some of the foundational dances she learned so she knows how to build on that knowledge. Plus she's into pushing the boundaries of art so she can introduce some different, odd styles.
I used to play a FEmblem so I know those medieval feels! Clea is really early modern, so she's before pole dancing but during its predecessors and would immediately cotton on that it's an erotic artform. Not that she'd object - in fact, she'd take to it rather well and find it enjoyable. It would just be funny for her to be like 'oh, I don't know this style - Oh now I get it.' so quickly when he's like '?' Clea just like oh no it's fine, keep going. Keeeep going.
