"We didn't expect you quite so soon did we Mrs. Peel?"

Moves like this do not just happen spontaneously.

Reginald, Right, and Rupert once took ballet classes together as children. Reginald and Right kind of remember who was in the class, but Rupert is clueless. That part "doesn't" matter, the part about the classes they all remember is how when someone underestimated Rupert because he took ballet, was his threat that almost became a reality if he wasn't pulled off of they guy. That threat being " me taking ballet gives me enough strength to strangle you with my feet and probably snap your neck". None of them have let it go and they now just use it as a threat.

Rupert doesn't let the teasing get to him because he could snap necks with just his feet, among the very large list of other acts of violence he can do thanks to ballet. Henry is one of the few people who is genuinely impressed with his skill and doesn't make fun of him.

Though there was that one time Reginald and Rupert engaged in some pretty rough dance fighting, Reginald always wearing heels for occasions like these and Rupert putting his combat boots through hell. Right and Henry just sort of watched, too afraid to actually step in.

And then there was the time Dmitri flew all the way from the Wall, into an active fighting zone between Toppats and Government and challenged Rupert and Reginald to a dance off. Right just round house kicked Dmitri unconscious and Henry took him to Galeforce.
