humor a lil anon here, but imagine like each the ACOMAF crew dancing....Cassian would totally be a good dancer but be really cocky about it (and prone to goofy dancing and pelvic thrusting), Rhys would be all dapper & smooth moves, Azriel would avoid dancing if possible but could be coaxed into it with enough rallying/libations, Mor would just SLAY on the dance floor like WHOOSh byeee to everyone's panties, Amren would dance like your cool aunt and give zero fucks about how she looked...
This is….amazing. I’m in love. Okay okay wait I’m going to try and add to this without butchering it because like please consider:
Az is definitely sitting in a corner, nursing a drink, smiling and waving at Mor whenever she vaguely drifts past, making sure there’s always a drink there for her, usually resisting her attempts to drag him onto the dancefloor (she’s not that insistent she knows he’s self-conscious and the like) When she does though they stick to the fringes of the crowds and it’s all very small, precise movements and he basically just cuddles her in a circle (Mor thinks it’s adorable)
Feyre tends to be nestled in Azriel’s booth with him and this is when the two of them probably spend the most amount of time alone together. They just cosy up together and get to talking over the music because neither of them are really that big on the whole dancing among hoards of people thing so this suits them just fine thank you very much. They play little guessing games (like the one from ACOMAF) and Feyre makes it her mission to make Az smile as often as possible (especially if he’s been having a tough time recently) It’s precious.
Rhys will occasionally sweep her into the floor though. She doesn’t mind as long as he doesn’t draw too much attention to them. He keeps it quiet and understated and he doesn’t really like being the centre of attention either so they just move quietly in a corner and it’s nice (’til Mor gets a hold of Feyre and drags her away from Lord Boring to have some ‘Fun’)
My Nesta aesthetic at Rita’s is literally ‘I was dragged here against my will I’m going to sit in this corner and read and there’s nothing you can do about it (unless you’re Cassian, try me.’ Of course Cassian does try her and she gets the whole dramatic, flamboyant, fluttering his eyelashes down at her as he leans ‘seductively’ against the side of her booth (literally the only thing missing is the rose between his teeth (and he’s done this before - he asked Elain for the rose)) and then in this velvet, utterly irresistible (obviously) purr, ‘May I have this dance?’ Nesta just, bluntly, “No,” without even looking up from her book. (but she’s not really reading. he knows she’s not really reading.) He has to do a loooot of wheedling and then it’s like, ‘Only to get rid of you’ (lies Nesta) but he manages to drag her onto the floor. Nesta is a little bit…stiff and self-conscious so he makes the biggest fool of himself imaginable until she’s smiling…but that’s not enough so then he makes an even bigger fool of himself until she’s laughing a little bit and he literally looks like a puppy that’s just been told it’s the best doggy in the history of the world when she does that for him.
Lucien is just…….No-one knows what Lucien is doing. No-one asks. They just let him get on with it.
Elain thinks that it’s very entertaining. And she does really, really try to get him to dance with her Properly in hold and stuff…But he slips out of it after like five minutes because no wiggling uncontrollably with some semblance of rhythm is much more fun than all that formal stuff. Sometimes she gives up and just…wiggles along with him, giggling all the way through it. Sometimes he gets a tiny little impatient foot stamp and Lucien at which point he springs to attention and does as he is told.
And Amren just….doing whatever the fukc Amren wants to because she’s Amren. And all these people keep coming up to her trying to ask her to dance with them and she just…I think not. (Some nights she just sits in Az’s booth with him and drinks though, no-one can ever predict what she’s going to do)
