[Music request to the band]: To be clear, she did not request this song, she hardly recognizes it. The strings of the violin lead the band. There are some odd pauses, for effect she supposes, in between. In spite of her own cluelessness, many others seem to join in with great fervor sparkling in their eyes.
And before she has time to protest or step away, she is pulled into the crowd and is handed off to a man who she could only assume had joined the same way she has.
“Are you familiar with this piece…?” She asks. “I overheard others mentioning… Pitbull… Is that not a dog?”
"It sounds....." Quan wondered if his taste in music was outdated. Even so, it was rather alluring in its own right wasn't it? "Actually, this is quite a fetching piece. I don't think I've ever heard the crack of cymbals and violins played in this fashion before. Ha! And you don't sound like you have either."
"Perhaps it is in season, little miss. Here, your hand, please!" He guided her to a less crowded space on the dance floor, watching the shadows of dancers ghost around them. "Pitbull? What an odd name... Do you think the musician was once an arena fighter or something?" Spinning them both in small circles, he guided her down a stream of rapid notes and stepping twice to the right, before switching on his feet to the left. He laughed, thinking it nothing short of amusing. "I would certainly expect something more vapid from a name like that, but I suppose we shouldn't judge a book by its cover."
As he rose their hands, he poised her straight to twirl. Breaths even, steps uneven, he waited until the piano to crescendo before releasing her into a final spin.
"Ha!"
And the violins went quiet.
"How's that? Memorable, yes? Even Pitbull would be proud, I would think."
Pulling a black feather off his lapel, he pressed it gently into the girl's hand. "I suppose the music here is commendable. Even if I'm still catching up with the times, ha! Thank you for the dance, little miss. You've caught me by surprise with this one."
