"I think I'm more creative with my hands then my feet." He laughed. "But if you think you teach teach the monster with two left feet to dance... alright."

"mmmmokay,"Ruby got up with a mischievous smile on her face and went over to the radio. It had been playing that old 50's music Granny seemed to like so much, but it would work. Ruby leaned over the counter practically laying over the top of it to reach and turned up the volume a bit.
She returned to Whale, she offered her hands to him,"C'mon, it's easy I promise"

"Wait... like NOW?" Whale asked, baffled. IN FRONT of the diner???
He had no choice BUT to accept her warm hands, after wiping his on his napkin first, of course. She led him to a little clearing with little customer traffic.

Ruby laughed and smiled as she pulled him a bit closer," Relax, we'll start with something a little less complicated..."
She thought about the one Granny had taught her when she was little, a memory from this world, it was fairly easy and secretly one of her favourites despite loving the club scene and some of the 'newer hip' stuff.
"Okay, so first we're both gonna step away from each other like this...." She took a step back from him still holding his hands in hers as he sort of mirrored the action," Then you step forward again but to the side..."This took a little more effort but Whale seemed to pick it up after a little trial and error.
They went through some basic Swing dance steps slowly like that for a song or two," Alright! Now we take it a little faster..."

Whale did his best to follow her instructions... but he was a little stiff in his legs. He wasn't even very good at the traditional Geneva dances which require very little tact. His BROTHER had been very good at it.
Victor could remember a time would he thought he was ALMOST good at dancing. He had been young, too young that he had to reach up to put a little hand on his mother's waist as she swiveled her little son around. Her laugh was like music.
"Very good, Victor!" his mother had exclaimed... until father had come through the door and seized her by the arm, telling her not to waist his son's time with such frivolity.
Whale stepped on Red's foot for a second time. He froze up. "Sorry." he muttered, trying so hard to focus on what he was doing.

Red just giggled and smiled, trying to reassure him that she didn't really mind,"It's fine Victor, you're doing great,"
Sure he had stepped on her foot a few times, but Red was enjoying herself nonetheless. She gracefully spun into his arms, looking up at him with a mischievous grin before giving him a light kiss on the cheek.

"RED!" Granny called from the kitchen, putting two hot plates ready to be served to customers in the window's opening, glaring though. "ORDER UP."

Ruby jumped a little,"Oh, I... I should probably get that" she stepped away and looked at him," Thank you..."
The girl blushed a little and drew back the hair from her eyes, she honestly wasn't looking to make Victor into some master dancer or anything, she had genuinely just wanted to be with him and have a little fun. Red hoped she hadn't embarrassed him too much....
"See you a little while," she waved as she walked back to the plates Granny left on the window

"No, thank YOU, Miss Lucas." He said, with all the genteel demeanor that had been in his breeding in his previous life. He raised one of her hands to his lips and kissed it. It was meant to be part of the act... but it brought a blush to Ruby's cheeks.
"See you." Was all he could manage in reply as she walked away. Sighing he turned back to his place at the bar...before his pager went off. He took a look at it and sighed again, deeply.

Damn that pager, Ruby's ears perked when the beep went off. Ruby grabbed the plates and started towards the tables but as she passed by Whale," I picked up a few movies, so if you have time after work and you're up to it maybe swing by?" She smiled and placed the plates on the tables,"otherwise I'll see you later" she winked then disappeared behind the kitchen doors hearing Granny call another order.

"Unfortunately I'm teaching a basic first aid lesson at the elementary school tomorrow morning. I have to get my notes together tonight." He grimaced. Kids... he felt so awkward around them. "But tomorrow would be better." He smiled.
A movie night with Red... it sounded divine.

Red finger-waved," It's a date!" she called, when he was gone she slumped against the wall and gave a sigh, why did these meetings always end so soon??
