top-level (lea)

[featherduster]

[ From here

He allows himself to be steered, giving Lea a sideways look ]

Hello?

Re: top-level (lea)

[takeyoutochurch]

Evenin'. Ya don't look like yer enjoyin' the festivities. We should change that, don't ya think?

Re: top-level (lea)

[featherduster]

Who says I'm not having fun?

[ - Local man who looks like he's trying to fuse with the scenery ]

Re: top-level (lea)

[takeyoutochurch]

Weeeeeeell if I was mistaken then I can just leave ya here by yerself and go have fun all by my lonesome...

Re: top-level (lea)

[featherduster]

No, no, no. Okay, sorry. Don't go.

Re: top-level (lea)

[takeyoutochurch]

[more than a little smug]

That's what I thought. Play a stupid festival game with me. Or we can see if ya got two left feet on the dance floor.

Re: top-level (lea)

[featherduster]

[ He blinks at him a couple times ]

You dance?

Re: top-level (lea)

[takeyoutochurch]

Don't go expectin' fancy dancin'. I got enough coordination to keep myself upright and not step on any toes, but that's about all ya need for a place like this.

Re: top-level (lea)

[featherduster]

...

Okay.

Let's see who here has the two left feet, then.

Re: top-level (lea)

[takeyoutochurch]

Joke's on you, I've got plenty of practice on the ship. I ain't ever seen ya so much as twirl to a song on the radio.

[but it's too late he's already grabbing Aloe's hand and dragging him out to the big dance floor]

Re: top-level (lea)

[featherduster]

[ Antagonism works.

He lifts an eyebrow challengingly and sets his free hand at Lea's waist, pointedly taking the leading position. ]

Maybe I just hate to dance solo. Ever consider that?

Re: top-level (lea)

[takeyoutochurch]

[he's all amused smiles as he lets Aloe take the lead, clearly curious to see how much he's going to take charge and guide them through the dance]

So yer only dancin' when ya got someone to hold onto? Sounds like two left feet to me.

Re: top-level (lea)

[featherduster]

[ He leads them through the first set of steps easily, then smoothly twirls and dips him ]

Don't make assumptions.

Re: top-level (lea)

[takeyoutochurch]

[tries his best not to laugh as he's dipped]

I'll make all the assumptions I damn well please, so feel free to prove me wrong.

Re: top-level (lea)

[featherduster]

[ Lifts him back up easily, aided in no small part by having a metal arm ]

And what do I get when I do?

Re: top-level (lea)

[takeyoutochurch]

I'll let ya pick what ya want. That's enough motivation, ain't it?

Re: top-level (lea)

[featherduster]

Deal. But we're finishing this dance first.

Re: top-level (lea)

[takeyoutochurch]

Then try not to trip.

[takes the opportunity to spin Aloe around, but otherwise lets him lead as he pleases]

Re: top-level (lea)

[featherduster]

[ He leads them through the rest of the dance easily, having clearly learned couple's dancing somewhere before.

When the song ends, though, he's reluctant to actually let Lea go. He simply transitions them into a different dance instead. ]

Re: top-level (lea)

[takeyoutochurch]

[raises an eyebrow at him when he's pulled into the next dance, but doesn't make a peep of a complaint about it; just lets Aloe lead them along and focuses on not tripping over his own two feet]
