Altair wasn’t surprised by her turning his own words on him. On the contrary he was entertained. He almost expected her to brush off the dance request, but she abruptly grabbed him. He walked behind her, grinning the entire time as his tail eagerly swished from side to side. Altair glanced down at her command, “Don’t gotta tell me twice,” He said as he placed his hands on her slender hips. He wasn’t a complete imbecile when it came to dancing, but this was definitely a style he wasn’t familiar with.
Within seconds, they were off and Altair tried his best to keep up with the sudden spins. He stared in confusion as she started to skip, and he almost tripped them both. Altair caught her in his arms, unable to keep from laughing at the mishap. No one cared. No one looked. Except maybe Millie giving some side eye, but that didn’t matter.
“I really suck at this!” He called out as he almost tripped again as she spun and skipped around effortlessly. He had a smile on his face the entire time, a life in his amethyst eyes that gave them an extra shine. Altair switched from one arm to the other, hooking their elbows as he started skipping around, leaning forward and then back to the rapid rhythm.
Eventually, he began to pick it up, stepping his feet to the rhythm, guiding and spinning her. Everyone around him cheered and clapped to the rhythm in between spins. Altair skipped around with one arm lazily slung around her waist before he jumped and took her other hand to spin her. He still had that brilliant smile, his hair once again slightly disheveled, that black eye still shining and the sporting that swelling from his busted lip. But he was having a blast and that was all that mattered.
After the song came to a close, he was still beaming, “King’s Crown, eh?” He said, “I’ll have to remember that for..” He trailed off. He was definitely going to implement a modified version of this in his kingdom. What a surreal thought.
As Millie passed by with a tray of drinks, Altair nabbed one while giving Millie a wink. He took another for Zelle, handing it to her, “Come on, girl, let’s say fuck you to them bad spirits!” He said as he clinked their glasses and threw the shot back. He slapped down some Crowns on the tray, Millie scowling the entire time.
The next song was slower paced, but it was easier to follow. Altair smiled at Zelle, taking a step back to follow the steps others were doing. He placed his palm against hers before spinning and then touching their palms once more. He reached out and grasped both her arms, lifting one to form a little square window with their arms to gaze through at her before he spun them both around.
