[ oh the poor darling all by himself, mama's taking a break from the dancefloor to help ]

Glad to see you, Tavros, are you enjoying yourself?

[bullhorned]

[...gives her a confused squint when she first comes over, but once she starts talking he realizes who she is ff]

Uh... mostly... that is a thing... that I am unsure about... [LKSDF] Are you...?

[tastesrainbows]

I'm meeting plenty of new people, here, and they're quite delightful, actually! Have you been mingling here in the corner?

[ she feels it would be rude to brag about how much she's enjoying the dancing, and so refrains ]

[bullhorned]

Mingling... [Looks around... at his lonely corner of Tavros related failure lkjsdf and changes the subject... so... smoothly]

Mostly... I have been uh... watching the humans... and their prom ritual... because it is... very... interesting... Don't you think so?! [...by which I actually mean, not smoothly at all]

[tastesrainbows]

I certainly do. As interesting to watch as it is to participate in.

[ she rests a hand on one hand of his wheelchair, thinking up ideas of how to help him in this matter ]

Tell me, Tavros, how well does your four-wheel device handle sudden swerves? It could present an issue of being unwieldy, but I have a feeling we could overcome that!

[bullhorned]

Uh... [Glances at her hands and then up to her. Lawd, what are you thinking now ;A;]

Mostly... it seems to be... um more maneuverable then... my other one... was... but also I don't... usually uhhhh... swerve suddenly... so I'm not sure... if I have... a good answer to that...

[tastesrainbows]

[ DON'T WORRY TAVROS SHE'S NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING

without permission c: ]

Do you think it's possible that it would be able to execute a dance? Just a small one. [ she holds up her fingers to show how small ] Nothing too fast, of course, we can handle it at your own pace.

[bullhorned]

[SOB KANAYA WHY YOU DO DIS]

Uhhhhm... mostly... I am not sure... how dancing would uh... work... like... this...

[tastesrainbows]

[ she just wants babby to enjoy himself :c ]

Oh, I don't think it should be too complicated! It would mostly require turning to match the steps, so we'd have to be sure not to choose a faster song until you've had more practice.

[bullhorned]

[Peers... up at her. She sounds... like she knows what she's talking about. But the crowd of humans is so big and...]

[Well he would... rather like to get out of this corner... After a moment he nods slightly and sets his hands on the wheels of his chair, trying to work out how to match himself to all them wiggly bodies out there]

O... kay uh... I think maybe... that would be a thing... that I would like to try... I think...!

[tastesrainbows]

I'm sure you'd enjoy yourself! That's the express purpose of this gathering, after all.

[ she takes a look at the crowd, trying to figure on how they're gonna do this ]

Would it be alright if I assisted you with your four-wheel device until we came to an appropriate location to dance? The crowd appears as though it may be difficult to navigate.

[bullhorned]

[Also scanning the crowd, but at that suggestion he lifts his hands up off the wheels]

Uh... yes... Mostly I think that... that would be a good um... idea... at this time...

aaaaaa i'm trying to think of appropriate songs for a friend-dance

[tastesrainbows]

Excellent!

[ she takes hold of the handles and guides him through the crowd gently until they reach a sufficient opening, then moves around to front and takes one of his hands in hers ]

Are you ready?

OH LAWD... UH... the cha cha slide.... 8| LKSJDF NO DON'T ASK ME I AM MUSIC ILLITERATE

[bullhorned]

Uh... I think... possibly... that is a thing that I am... at this time...

[Looks... super nervous though, and he squeezes her a little]

okay we'll just say it's something perky, dancey, and not at all romantic then

[tastesrainbows]

[ she starts twisting and boogeying to the music without moving too far from his range, her hand still in his and encouraging him to move similarly

as the music progresses, it seems to call for further movement ]

We're going to try turning now, alright? You should likely get used to the process as we go along.

Yes this sounds good...... and.... that was supposed to be... 'squeezes her hand'... not.... lkjsdf

[bullhorned]

[Awkwardly wiggling sort of in time with the music lkjasdf And he's glad for the warning, setting his free hand on one of the wheels and eyeing it nervously. Right. Turning quickly. He can... totally... do this...]

[Because Rufio says he can. Yes. Definitely that is a thing that he is saying... right... now... LAWD @_@]

Okay, I am... ready... for this...
