[that's okay! they are just booging out on the deck, it's not a big deal. and here is a secret, john cannot dance either, so you're good.

it's not really a slow dance, it's more like a wiggle to the beat, but she has her hands on his shoulders so it's kind of like proper dancing right??]

[Everything is a big deal for Karkat, you just don't understand.

Especially the part where his hands are kind of close to her hips.]

[ladygrit]

[woah, you are basically putting the moves on her! :O ]

Hehe, dance night was a good idea!

[candyhorns]

[he's being so smooth about it too, his hands are not even shaking.]

You think so?

[ladygrit]

[woah, we got a troll casanova here! :OO ]

Yes! Dancing is great, don't you think?

[candyhorns]

Yeah, it's nice.

[Oh was that your foot he just stepped on again oops well maybe touching feet counts as romantic.]

[ladygrit]

[maybe in troll society?]

Right? I could get used to this.

[candyhorns]

Maybe I can get used to it too, and stop stepping on your feet.

[ladygrit]

Maybe if you slow down for a moment...

[she squeezes his shoulder gently, and glances pointedly between them, down at their feet.] Watch for a second. It's called a box step.

I go back with my left, and you go forward with your right.

[candyhorns]

[He's not good at not leading, but he'll make an effort to follow what she's doing, for the sake of being less awkward.]

[ladygrit]

Don't watch me, watch your feet - like this.

Now go back. With your left.

Your other left!

[she steers him slowly around the floor in a wonky kind of box step, only laughing when he steps on her feet again.]

[candyhorns]

Stop laughing, Jade, this is hard!

[ladygrit]

No it's not!

Look, step to the beat. Ready? One, two, three, one, two, three.
