And so, they start dancing. Strange actually is a fairly decent dancer. However, he's trying his hardest to seem like he has everything under control and he knows what he's doing that he misses a few steps, starts a bit too early at one point, and rather rudely yanks the Gentleman through a turn instead of gently leading him at one point.
Still, he's competent enough that he's able to talk and dance at the same time. Unfortunately, he's just defaulting to small talk. "Have you met our host? I'm afraid I've only seen him around mealtimes—I've never managed a conversation with the man."
