[ Do you see that look on Fabian's face? It's definitely the look of a guy who can't decide if he should be laughing or cringing right now. At the moment it kind of seems like his cringe is holding back his laughter, actually. ]
Don't-- Don't do that, Gorgug. [ Please. You can't do this to him. How is he supposed to react to that? And in public? ] Forget being green, this is going to draw attention to you regardless! And not the good kind, I can tell you!
[ Why stop, Fabian, he's having so much fun doing this jig--
But he does stop, eventually. Not immediately. It was a little fun, but now his fun is dead and gone. And despite all his previous complaints about dancing, from even back in Moorecroft, he says somewhat huffily: ]
...I can dance if I want to.
[ He's just. Saying!!! He can do anything anyone else can!!! ]
[ Granted, Fabian could bring up something else. Like how Gorgug may as well just drop the disguise if he's determined to bring attention to himself in some way all the same - because there's no way people won't stare as much at an awkward dance in public like this as they would at a half-orc, in Fabian's opinion. The awkward dance is way more of a crime to public decency!!
But considering he was thinking about this earlier when Gorgug asked him to come with him in the first place, he can't help but point it out now. It feels more natural in the conversation than having to bring it up himself later. ]
Sure, [ Gorgug says, like he does remember, but actually knowing which instance of 'I don't want to dance' that Fabian is referring to is a pain to recall. It doesn't matter enough to Gorgug to think or recall, either, since there's a more important point that he follows along with: ]
But I want to dance now. With you. [ Will he always want to dance? No. But right now, in this date with his boyfriend!! ] I mean, we can dance somewhere with music than right now, but-- I'm in the mood.
[ He wants to dance with Fabian. But maybe there's a more important question than even his point had been, and Gorgug considers it after a moment. ]
Though the question at the forefront of Fabian's mind right now is something much more like right now? It's not really like Fabian of all people has any hesitation about dancing out in public, it's just.. right here, without music, just rawdogging the dance? That's definitely not something he expected from Gorgug.
But the longer he stares at the other's face, searching it for something, some sign, the more Fabian realizes he isn't really seeing something there that would give him any cause to say no to this. Gorgug doesn't look uncomfortable, as far as he can see. ]
Sure.
[ Maybe not the most enthusiastic Fabian has ever sounded about anything, but he's still trying to wrap his head around the situation. Sssh, let him cook.. ]
How do you want to do this? [ That's the downside of never having danced much with Gorgug before: Fabian has no idea of what the other likes in that department. Other than that dorky dad dance he showed only a moment ago. ] Ballroom style? Romantic dancing?
