Going through the motions was almost as cathartic as hitting things - probably better since hitting things was violence and right now Nox didn't need violence. It was a beautiful dance when he'd seen his mother preform it form him. He didn't feel he did it any justice and in jeans and t-shirt it was even less so. But it felt good to move - to remember his mother's teaching even if he was a little rusty. More likely a lot rusty.
Nox heard Elyse come down the stairs. She watched him dance and he was more than willing to let her watch. At least he knew exactly what he was doing this time, the last time he'd shown a girl he could dance he had ended up doing a fan dance to which Aria giggled over for hours especially when she told him it was meant for the girl. Not that Nox minded doing the opposite part. His mother had taught him them all for the best reason ever - to be able to show a girl exactly how it was done. The closeness and the outfits were a perfect excuse for Nox to actually get into ballet in the first place. Though he had to admit he enjoyed dancing more than impressing some girl.
When the song ended Nox wanted to move into the next song that played, but he could smell the coffee and needed it very much. Elyse stood up and kissed him softly before handing him the cup. She said he had danced eloquently - such a big word for such crap but he'd accept the compliment with a smile. "It's more fun to actually do."
Nox pulled Elyse against his body careful not to spill either of their coffees. The current song was something that belonged in a club with all the thumping of the bass, but Nox used the count and pulled Elyse into a waltz with him. It was faster than say a traditional waltz just because the beat was faster, but he could slow it down if she didn't catch on.
