[ Sometimes Lockwood heard something in a conversation nearby that would grab his attention and briefly pull his focus away from his companion. Classic 'cocktail syndrome' distraction, which caused him to miss the quick, sardonic joke Bones dropped into the conversation.
In Lockwood's defense, Bones was damn good as slipping in these zingers, usually when they were least expected, so hopefully he could be forgiven having missed this latest volley.
Beaming, when the older/younger vampire agreed to a dance, Lockwood produced white gloves from somewhere in the pocket of his tailored evening tail coat. As he got them situated on his hands, he stepped gracefully forward and formally presented his hand to Bones. ]
I promise. [ He said in that soft stage whisper. ] I won't drag you right into the center of all the eyes.
[ Bones was right about one thing, most of the music lent itself to the very classical Viennese waltz, which was what most people thought of when they thought of waltz. But rather by sheet dumb luck, or perhaps a little compelling design (Lockwood was Gold for a reason) the music switched to a lesser known waltz.
Bones wasn't to worry if he had no interest in producing the elegant lines of the arm reaches. Lockwood is graceful enough to keep any judgmental eyes at bay. And true to his word, despite the Gold vampire's delight in the limelight, he effortlessly guides them along the edges of the dance floor, allowing some of the more desperately flashy couples to set tongues a waggin. Please ignore the 'Wedding' in the title of the video ]
Wiffed a perfectly good dad joke :c I'm sorry!!
