They continue dancing in place. Strange isn't looking down at Rita's feet, but he knows from her lagging slightly and the fact that she's trying to squeeze his hand to death that she's doing alright, but isn't confident as he would like. Which honestly, is annoying. This is Rita Mordio. She's brimming with confidence with regards to her magic, how the hell can Strange find a way to push that to dancing?

"Usually, the man chooses which lady he would like to dance with," Strange explains, as they continue dancing. "However, since this is a faerie court, I'm certain we can bend the rules a bit if you want to dance with a certain someone in particular," he teases. The situation may be stressful and everybody might be worried, but even a little bit of levity could be helpful in piercing through the worry.

Though, moments after the tease, Strange cuts in with another order of, "Straighten up."
