The white haired man in the bright pink pants stepped off the stage and collected his tip bowl. After giving the owner's their share, he settled in for his supper, open seats all around him. Feel free to join the guitarist who just more than earned his keep with amazing songs of far off worlds sung in a deep rich wonderful voice?

“Okay then,” he smiles a little more as soon as he looses up the movement and begins to clap to the beat and let his shoulders move more as the music plays out, letting it to guide him all the way.

“Wow, this is a lot easier than I was expecting,” he informs Donovan as he is slowly getting the hang of dancing to the music.

He smiled. "That's all there is to dancing. Oh sure, some dances have specific steps and moves. But in general? You and the music is all it takes. Even if the music is all in your head."

“Oh yes, that’s good to know, in a way, there is a lot of ways to dance even with songs in my head,” he quietly adds in, “I could always try to learn new moves by watching how other people are dancing and trying to imitate them as much as possible.”

"Yep, sure can. Also good? Asking to join them." He grinned and ruffled his hair again. "You would never believe how happy it could make someone when you ask them to dance, till you start doing it and seeing that light in their eyes for yourself."

Of course there was also fun in asking a very uninterested little bigot of a man to dance loudly and publicly right after he tried to make your best friend's son feel ashamed of being gay. But that was a special situation. And his days of helping Szark stand up for himself were at an end, it seemed. The young man had faced his own inner demons and had found the confidence to stand up for himself now. These days he didn't need help from an old man. And Donovan couldn't have been prouder had Szark been one of his own sons.

“Gee, thanks. I’ll remember that the next time I come across some people having fun in dancing,” he smiles again, feeling more relieved and having a lot of fun himself.

He never thought that he could do it, but it can be done and that’s what matters the most: having fun dancing to the music, even if he is just a beginner right now.

"Good. And better yet, remember it when you see someone not having fun who might want to be."
