[Sousei's a stiff person, but he really does know how to dance. When the song properly starts up, he nods to her curtsy (he doesn't tend to bow unless it's necessary, a small act of rudeness he keeps for himself).
And then he properly takes her hands and he begins to dance with her.
At the very least, he's aware enough to adjust his steps to properly compensate for her smallness; he's not going to be dragging her around.
Forgive him for being so bad at smalltalk that he can't come up with anything.]
[Neatly, and deftly, he swings them around with the dance and the music, properly.]
...For now, there are other things to think about. [This isn't much like him, but...he hadn't wanted to wipe off her smile here, during this dance.] This is a party, after all. Don't you like these things?
No. I know how to dance out of necessity, but I do not enjoy it. [So he avoided dancing with ladies.... even though he's attractive enough that that probably has disappointed a fair number of them.]
Regardless, as the music slowly comes to an end, he simply nods.]
...And we will play again at some point. For now, though, you should return to the party and enjoy it. [after all, she did say she hasn't gotten to do so very often.]

And nods.]
Fine.
[He'll.....dance.........(ugh). And after a brief moment, he remembers his proper manners and offers her a hand.]
no subject
She really gets to dance with Sousei!
Taking his hand, she offers a small curtsy.]

As they start to dance she holds onto his hands and moves pretty easily, despite what might be expected.
In her head she does count though and remember where he feet were.]
Sousei you're really good at this.
no subject
He nods, and moves with her, and--]
You're doing well yourself. Have you always known how to dance, or did someone teach you?
no subject
Thank you. Um...Lottie and Fang showed me, Doug wasn't a big dancer.
no subject
[He considers that for a moment.]
Were they part of the Baskervilles you talked about before?
no subject
[Her look sours for a moment.]
Fang is the one that the man killed.

no subject
Mn, I know. I do I haven't been to a lot...what about you, Sousei?
no subject
It'd be bad.
That's the only reason why.]
... Mm. On occasion. [Not that he likes them, but--] For my work, it was not entirely uncommon.
no subject
Of course...because Sousei wouldn't feel bad about it.]
Oh? Do you dance with a lot of ladies then? [Not saying you're popular or something...]
no subject
Though that gets a blink out of him. Ah...]
No. I know how to dance out of necessity, but I do not enjoy it. [So he avoided dancing with ladies.... even though he's attractive enough that that probably has disappointed a fair number of them.]
no subject
She just smiles at him.]
Really? It's fun though...
no subject
[He's glad that she's having fun, in his own way. But even so--]
Regardless, it isn't for me and likely never will be. While I do not mind giving you this dance, I likely will avoid anything more than this.
no subject
[She looks at him...Sousei you are a blunt, weird guy sometimes.]
Well okay...though I do want to play checkers again sometime!
no subject
Regardless, as the music slowly comes to an end, he simply nods.]
...And we will play again at some point. For now, though, you should return to the party and enjoy it. [after all, she did say she hasn't gotten to do so very often.]
no subject
Okay, I will...You should have more fun too!
no subject
But he doesn't say that, instead waving her off.]
Go on then. [goodbye, Lily. go have fun.]
