"Ah... I do not know how--" Hadama protested, but it was a weak defense as Flora claimed his hand and tugged him after her. He did not resist as she led the way onto the dance floor among the swirl of color and movement dictated by the rhythm of the music. There were few who could move the Tidebreaker when he did not want to be moved, but the Doubletake was one of them.
Once they reached Flora's destination her co-ruler allowed her to position his hands and arms to suit herself, emerald eyes watching the Queen as she began to move. She would need to take the lead, but he would follow without argument. His bearing was stiff and unpracticed and his steps were hesitant at first, but at least his large feet were encased in soft shoes rather than hard ones so he was able to shift them before he brought his weight down on Flora's toes.
"Thank you," he rumbled quietly as they sorted out which direction they were going and whose feet needed to go where. "For keeping a cooler head than mine today."
