[mr_phale]

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.]

Comments

[mr_phale]

Well, I can hardly refuse a request. Though you may need to lead, my dear.

[justamessenger]

Works for me.

[She comes up to about his chin, but sticks out her hand all the same.]

Madame? May I have this dance?

[mr_phale]

[He manages a respectably deep curtsey in reply, as he takes her hand.]

[justamessenger]

You're good at that.

[She a lot shorter than him, which makes leading a little awkward but she's never one to let that sort of thing throw her off.]

[mr_phale]

Well, I am rather limbered up from dancing all morning.

[To be fair, he'd probably be a difficult partner to lead under any circumstances. But at least he's not stomping her feet.]

[justamessenger]

Limber, huh?

[That's what she said.]

[mr_phale]

[Are you implying something, Dulcie? Because if so he doesn't get it. Remotely.]

It is rather good exercise.
