Probably keep it slower, but I think you can lead.

[Because keeping up with those fancy moves was a little hard there.]

[malignstar]

Okay, okay, slow dancing it is.

[schrodingerscockroach]

For the safety of your toes, really.

[malignstar]

[ Going slower ]

What can I say? I like to live dangerously.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Laughs.]

Don't need to be super slow. Just enough so I can keep up. [He does have some grace, it's just also obvious he's following his steps.]

[malignstar]

Counting?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Not quite so deliberate.

[malignstar]

Think you could manage multi-tasking?

[ Gives them a little spin ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Of course.

[malignstar]

Want to try a little roleplay~?

[schrodingerscockroach]

I've done that, but I'll play along with yours if you want. I also need to pet someone for five minutes.

[malignstar]

You can pet me! I love getting pet!

[schrodingerscockroach]

All right. Rather be a human or a wolf for it?

[It does feel different, HE KNOWS NOW]

[malignstar]

You're the one petting. I'll let you decide.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I could do either.

What role would you like to play. Could combine it?

[malignstar]

I guess I could play the puppy.

[schrodingerscockroach]

That works.

Then let's do it.

[malignstar]

[ Time to poof into woof! ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Whose a good boy. [A teasing tone, but he is a 'puppy.']

[Now time to give lots of pets and scritches.]

[malignstar]

Woof. I am the bestest puppy!

[ Paws at ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

The absolute best puppy.

[Chuckles and pet, pet, pet.]

[malignstar]

Woof. I want treats.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Sorry boy, don't have any food with me. I promise I can get you some deer meat later.

[malignstar]

I'll just nibble on you in the meantime.

[ Playfully mouths at his arm ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

No, down boy. No biting. I might have to stop petting if you don't.

[Still petting though.]
