	"We're not gonna hula dance, because I'm pretty bad at that if we're being honest. This one's just a basic one. But it kind of needs an arm on your waist. You okay with that?" Tony asked, while holding up his free hand and indicating where it went. He wasn't about to go sticking his hands on her without a warning. He knew better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Seven was good at following directions, though not always at mimicking human movements. Her first attempt at eating with a fork in eighteen years had been awkward at best. Starting with something basic and simple was the way to go.

"You my proceed," she instructed, giving him permission. She trusted Tony, which spoke volumes for the opinion she had of his character. "Where do my hands belong?"

"Okay. This one goes here." He said, while taking one of her hands in his. He motioned to her other hand, then, and gestured towards his arm. "When I put my other hand on you, you put that hand on my arm here. Then we just... move to the music. I lead us a step one way, and you follow."

After a pause he added, "Or you can lead us a step and I'll follow. I'm okay with that."

Seven placed her hands where instructed, careful to keep her grip loose, relaxed. She'd made the mistake before of being too firm with her touch, accidentally injuring crewmates who were not nearly as durable as a drone was. And although Seven was no longer a drone, she was still Borg — she always would be — and thus was significantly stronger than the average person. It was something she was learning to be mindful of.

"This is new for me. I will follow your lead."

There was something about Seven putting this much trust in Tony that made his drunken little heart go just the slightest bit squishy, and he gave her a genuinely warm smile before starting to slowly dance with her along to the music.

It was the kind of dancing you'd see at weddings or school dances - not a lot of movement so much as a sway back and forth, working around in a circle to the beat of the music.

	Her eyes are on his feet at first, watching them as she memorizes the movements. They're relatively easy to imitate, and she brings her gaze back up, hopefully moving correctly to the tempo. Perhaps still a bit too rigid, but Seven had difficulty relaxing in general. She's a constant work in progress. "Is this correct?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're doing alright, this is your first time." Tony said, giving her hand what he considered an encouraging squeeze. "Probably need to be a bit less stiff, but we'll work on it." Tony loved dancing, he'd done it enough solo on the ship already. It was nice to have a partner for once, however briefly. (Reply to this) (Parent)
