Long legs worked to keep up with the set pace, used to being pushed into sudden exercise. His reflexes were meant to act quickly should he need to battle or give chase. In this case, retreating was yet another useful action given by honing his skill. When they slowed down in their run, he watched as the other greeted him with such a sweet smile. He had to wonder what lived underneath such an expression. It was rare to find anyone solely good these days. Everyone had regrets and pieces never meant to see the light of day.
“That does sound fun. Traveling certainly is a perk to this sort of work, isn’t it? So you’re a dancer. That does fit you based on your movements.” He had a graceful way of moving about, more than most did. With the extended hand, he took the fingers between his own and gave a short shake.

That was a fact he didn't linger on for too long, " Such a nice name, I haven't heard something as such in a very long time. As you can imagine, my coworkers are quite colorful in their names, very suitable to you indeed.." For a moment, he stopped, single eye gazing around for that short period of time before focusing back on the other male, " Since I'm new in town, would you mind showing me around? I'd appreciate it, " The performer concluded, offering a small laugh.
