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

Heavenly culture is not nearly so cultured, anyway. [he adds, leading them into a dizzying spin. The upshot of dancing with an admittedly large and not entirely graceful angel is, if he breaks a toe treading on it he's not above miraculously fixing it, after.] Humans spend a remarkable amount of timing coming up with complicated methods of reducing their labour and laborious rituals for filling their leisure time. Like dancing, actually.

Why not? [That's comforting.] We must be interesting to observe, from an outsider's perspective.

[mr_phale]

Oh, well, we're all too busy for it, I expect. But honestly, I think you tend to do it better.

[candothat]

Then, on the behalf of humanity, thank you.

[Laughingly]

I suppose you're welcome!
