💃 - Tess or Shevaughn, Not that he doesn't captivate a mean dance routine, but I'm sure either of them could teach him a modern thing or two (or an old one)
Shevaughn blinked atMikey as he sidled up to her on the dance floor at Tess and Ethan’s wedding. “What on earth are you doing?” The turtle was making a very strange sortof…wiggle? flail? was the only word the herb witch could come up with to describeMikey’s gyrations.
“I’m dancing!” The titular leader of Unseasoned struck apose, the twinkle in his eye telling Shevaughn he was being deliberately provoking.
“Oh?” She looked skeptical. The last time I saw anyone move like that, itturned out he had live fish in his drawers.”
Mikey snorted withlaughter, not at all offended, and held out his arms. “Dance with me?” he invited.
Shevaughn shook her head,then grabbed one of his hands, tugging him out of the room. “Not until you learn some proper dancesteps!”
Mikey pretended to pout,but let her lead him into the hallway, where they had a little room to move,but could still hear the music. Hesuffered the older woman to adjust his stance, his posture, how he held hisarms… He was naturally coordinated, anda quick study, so at the end of fifteen minutes of instruction, he was makinghis way around the hall with Shevaughn, grinning when she scolded him.
“WILL you straightenup? This is a dance, not a fight! You don’t have to protect yourself fromme.” She rolled her eyes when Mikeydeliberately overcompensated, swatting his arm. “On second thought, you are NOT too big to spank, young man!”
Laughing, Mikey decidedto behave, delighted when her exasperated commands gave way to praise.
Beaming, Shevaughn lether own eyes twinkle at him. “Okay, nowI’ll dance with you.”
