good omens - aziraphale

† 006

Oh, I must say I do rather like the, er, dancing. Not that anyone ought to be forced of course, but it's so festive, I can't help but enjoy it.

Er, if anyone is looking for a partner, I would be happy to oblige. Though I must confess I don't know the steps to a great many dances. But I am quite willing to learn.

[ ACTION ]

[True to his word, the angel is hanging around in the square, alternating between watching the dancers with no small delight, and taking his own only-slightly-awkward turns across the street with various partners.

He will try not to step on your feet. Too much. Er.]

Lessons could be arrange with the Night Show dancers.

I don't think that will be necessary.

[Chekov isn't cursed or necessarily looking for anyone to dance with (he can flail rhythmically just fine by himself, really), but he catches Aziraphale's network post and, upon seeing the angel in the busy square, absolutely must ask:]

How long have you existed for without learning how to dance?

[No questions without payment, young man. Aziraphale bows in a rather courtly fashion which is clearly an invitation to join him for a go-round, because he is cursed. Probably. At the very least he's deeply caught up in the spirit of the thing.]

I do dance, actually. Er, the gavotte, at least-- it's terribly difficult trying to keep up with your fashions, you know.

[Oh, why not. Chekov is more than happy to dance.]

My fashions? I have no idea what is popular in my own time.

Not yours personally.

[And dance they shall! He will try not to tread on your toes, Chekov.]

Human society can be terribly tiring. As soon as one grows accustomed to it, everything changes.

[Aziraphale may find himself pulled into something that strongly resembles a swing dance by a cheerful Penny. She doesn't mind if he's not very good.]

[He really isn't very good at all, but he does try, and he's more than enthusiastic enough to keep up, even if the steps are a bit-- well, more than a bit off.]

What do you call this sort of dancing? I'm afraid I'm not familiar.

[Off is fine! As long as everyone's having fun!]

I have no idea, but a friend taught it to me and I like it.

Oh, I'm in!

Excellent! I shall be in the square for some time.

Give me five, handsome!

[By that, she actually meant seconds! She enjoys dancing and it's a rarity that she seems to find herself a partner (a certain cape and cowled sir has owed her a dance for ages and always seems to slither out of it...). She doesn't necessarily mind because looking too hard would mean crappy clubs and crappy dance partners, if not creepy.

She appears in a sparkly poof of smoke.] What's shakin'!

I don't know. There are some pretty terrible dancing curses like people forced to dance until they can't stop and die of exhaustion.

Well, that's certainly true, but I've seen no indication that today is at all like that.

[Sorry. The man is just a pessimist sometimes.]

No. I suppose not, though it wouldn't surprise me.

[Dulcie is admiring the view from where she's perched on top of a street light, giggling ever time he steps on someone's toes.]

[He is trying quite hard not to tread on anyone's feet, but the sad truth is he's dreadfully awkward when he doesn't know the steps. Which he generally doesn't.

He finishes with his current partner and bows deeply, before turning to look up at Dulcie, hands on his hips.]

That was really funny. You should do it more often.

[If he does step on Tohru's feet, she'll just smile sheepishly in pain. She likely danced on a few feet herself.]

I don't know many dances, but this is all about enjoying it, right?

[The upshot of having an angel tread on your toes is he's not above miraculously healing any actual damage he might inflict. Still, he really is trying.]

Oh, certainly! And what better way to learn, hmm?

[So he offers a hand.]

Sounds like a great way to learn. It's how I've been learning all day!

[Tohru takes it, her other hand going to his arm, smile ever present on her face.]

[ She finds the happy looking man from the video easily, a smile already on her face. ] Is the dancing a curse or is the City into musical numbers?

A curse, to be sure, though it hardly seems appropriate to call the more pleasant ones by the same name.

[Smiling, he offers his arm.]

[ Beaming at that - if a little hesitantly. ]

I'm not very good at dancing.
