Wind down part, huh? [ She's just going to wipe at her gross sweaty bangs at the moment, and exhale a distempered breath. That was a lot of moving around! Not that it's done anything but energize her more. ] Well, you're going to have to help me out here, Bolin. I don't really know how to wind down when dancing! [ She looks around, noticing some lazy-ass couples are only now entering the dance floor, while the exhausted ones that had already been active are dissipating in numbers. ] Oh, wait.

Oh. Well, sure. [ Okay now he's conscious of the sweat. He swipes a few stray hairs back from his forehead, smoothly dealing with the shininess up there in the process - only to realise that now he's supposed to hold Korra's hand with that.

He points behind her quickly with his other hand. ] Just look at that couple - they've got the right posture for this sort of thing. [ And while she's checking them out he'll just be a-wiping his hands off on his pants. ]

... [ She was well-aware that Bolin outclassed her in their dancing, earlier. Admittedly, she used music to train to a lot more than ever dance to, and shaking her booty in front of a mirror while brushing her teeth didn't count. Still, she picked up fairly quickly! This, though, she wasn't so sure about. It seemed to involve a particular type of grace that she lacked. Also, Korra is wiping her hand on her dress shamelessly, not caring that Bolin might hold it later, as her eyes follow to where Bolin had pointed towards. ]

Huh, yeah. A lot of the people seem too sluggish, but they've got a better rhythm going. [ And yet, it still held an intimacy to it. ]

[ Her eyes fall back on Bolin, who had been fantastic company the whole night. In fact, she felt so far away from every strenuous thought when she was dancing with him. She was laughing and smiling, and she savored every moment of it, because she really hadn't been doing it enough lately.

The train of thought leaves her smile a bit more fond and crooked, before an excitable light hits her eyes. She puffs out her chest proudly, the same way she does before her probending matches, and places her hands at her hips. ] Bet you we could leave them all in the dust, though.

[ He lets out a short "hah!" and grins at her. Getting competitive over a slow dance? This is why he loves this girl! Platonically as a friend. ] We'll blow them outta the water! [ Zing. Cuz she's water and he's earth (- dust? Close enough).

Bolin holds out a hand to her as enthusiastically as if he was asking for a high five. ]
