There was something about Ernie that attracted Theo, but he would never think about it that way. That sense of safety was more powerful to him than any physical attraction would be anyway and he couldn't even see that for what it was either. Realising that would likely have made him panic, and who knows what he would have done if he thought Ernie felt anything for him. There was only one destination at the end of that road as far as he knew and it was one that he didn't want to see ever again.

He was interested to hear about Ernie's dancing though, having been taught how to get by at formal events but not much else. He'd never liked it.

"I'm not sure. Delta blues. I think that's what the, I think that's what it's called." he stumbled over the words. "Did you like dancing? Do you do it still?"

Ernie nodded even though he didn't know enough about Blues music to know how Delta sounded. "Maybe we can convince Seamus to have a Blues night at Finnigan's, play a little of different kinds and listen with a drink in one hand and a cigar in the other. Not that I smoke, but it just sounds like something you do when listening to the Blues."

His face turned wistful as he thought on his dancing days. "I loved it, still do. My friends know to beware whenever dancing starts because I will drag them out. Most of them just like to bounce around, but I'd rather do a salsa or merengue, make the girls look gorgeous. Haven't met many blokes who would let me lead, though. Do you dance?"

He waved over someone from behind the bar and ordered another drink, and asked for a basket of chips to go along with it.

Theo actually huffed a chuckle at the mention of sitting there with a cigar, but he turned his glass in thought. "I wouldn't want to monopolise a night. What happens if no one likes it and no one turns up and then Finnigan's takes a loss?" He was probably worrying over nothing, but he tended to do that.

It was nice to see Ernie reminisce over something that was clearly a happy memory for him and he smiled in response. He wasn't sure what Ernie meant about finding a bloke who'd let him lead, but he disregarded that in order to answer the question. "I was taught how but I've never really enjoyed it. I don't think I'd be as good as you sound though, it was just enough to get me by during social events." he shrugged.
