"Lance, may I have a word?"

Glancing up from what he was showing Pidge, Lance nodded at Allura and reassured the green paladin, "That's a harder step, but I think you're doing really well."

Nodding, Pidge smirked and ran off to mess with her latest piece of tech, leaving Lance with Allura. The princess held her hands together and smiled gently at Lance before stating, "I heard from Shiro that you're teaching the others how to dance properly."

"Well, not to brag, they're doing really well," Lance said with a smug smile. Waving his hands around as he explained what he was teaching to each paladin, Lance added, "I haven't suggested it to Hunk yet cuz he's not as keen about the idea. Why were you asking? Are you gonna try and shut it down like Shiro?"

"Oh no," Allura shook her head violently and stated, "I was just impressed. It's just that, upon first impression you don't seem like someone who knows how to dance in a formal setting."

Raising an eyebrow, Lance asked, "Is that a challenge Princess?"

"Oh course not," Allura said, mild curiosity written on her face she added, "It's merely been a while since I've actually performed myself."

Stepping closer to Allura, Lance held his hands out and asked, "Well in that case, may I have this silent dance?"

Allura eyed Lance with the curiosity of a child before a smile broke out across her face and she moved into Lance's position. Smiling, Lance realized he didn't have to teach Allura, as she probably knew more than he did. Not hesitating, Lance led Allura in a Viennese waltz to no music, the both of them moving as one and not speaking as they moved down the hallway.

Guiding Allura into a turn, Lance felt happiness bubble up in him at the sight of the princess enjoying herself. Allura smiled brightly and Lance sensed her wanting to stop, before leading her into a gentle spin and releasing her hand. Turning back to Lance, Allura nodded and said, "That was rather impressive. I'm surprised you didn't tell us about this talent of yours sooner."

"Hey," Lance started, shrugging, "A guy's gotta have some secrets. Am I right Allura? Besides, ballroom dancing isn't exactly something to be bragging about."

"On the contrary," Allura said, excitement tingeing her voice, "I think it's something most people wouldn't believe until they saw it. Like me and Shiro for example."

Crossing his arms proudly, Lance asked, "Is there anything else you need, Allura?"

Clasping her hands together, Allura nodded and said quickly, "Would you dance with me every now and then? I'd like to stay in practice, and Coran follows the beat of his own drum."

Nodding, Lance held his hand up and exclaimed, "High five to seal the deal!"

Furrowing her brow, Allura paused before raising her hand like she had been taught and slapped Lance's hand with enough force to make a satisfying sound. It took a moment for Lance to realize he now had three people he was teaching and one person who could keep him accountable.

A/N I didn't give the explanation for Viennese walktz because (1. It's really really hard to explain (2. I'ts even harder to dance without falling like dominos. I'm really happy you peoples like this!
