WHO: Any and all OUTSIDER personnel that wants in and their respective campervan companions. Or maybe you wandered out away from your group and found this commune.

WHEN: Mid to Late May
WARNINGS: Will be updated or tagged in the thread as needed!

( He IS here to have fun, thank you for noticing! Aventurine ambles over, and at the request for a dance, raises his brow. )

Not at all! ( He holds out a hand for the other man to take before: ) Shall I let you lead?

Certainly. I trained how to lead in dance. [Rich people want their men to be powerful leaders, even in the ballroom. Taryon thankfully remembers how to hold Adventurine's hand properly as he leads him to step closer - not with much force, that would be improper, but to signify their roles in the dance.] Which types are you most familiar with?

( Aventurine himself has experience with both, adapting to the whims of his partner. It's a useful skill, letting people think you're whatever they want you to be. Even here there's no harm in it -- not until Aventurine can figure out what hand he has and what hands this place likes to deal. )

Various formal ones, along with one or two mating dances from more... unique cultures. ( He says, with a flash of a smile. ) Are you familiar with a waltz?

[Taryon briefly shakes his head in surprise at the mention of mating dances. It's not the term he would use, and the implications have him a bit concerned.

Well, at least he gets to decide what they'll do. Taryon straightens up and holds his hands together elegantly.]
I know all sorts of waltzes. Let get out of everyone's way first so we don't bump into them...

[He pulls on Aventurine's hand while keeping a light hold on it, leading him towards the sandy area outside the circle of Outsiders. It's far enough to have space to dance but close enough to the firelight for everyone to see the dare being fulfilled.]

( Aliens, man, there's all kinds! He goes without complaints and once it seems like Taryon is satisfied with their positioning, easily reaches for the other man -- a hand going to his shoulder in a clear deference to the leading position. After all, if Taryon is going to ask him for a dance then he might as well lead. )

Whenever you're ready, sir.

[It's as if Aventurine read his mind. Taryon plants his hand on the back of the other man's waist and takes his hand. They keep a good foot of distance between themselves; Taryon would find this incredibly uncomfortable if they were any closer and moved into "intimate space" territory.]

One, andβ€” [A simple waltz is easy. Taryon leads Aventurine in a spinning circle outside the ring of RVs, humming the one-two-three beat as he steps across the sand.]
