"Oh, hey." She sounded a little bit out of breath; someone may have been going a little overboard.

"Well, I don't know if this really counts as dancing." Because, former wannabe ballerina speaking, here. "Just a lot of jumping around, really. But thanks, I do kinda rock at this game." She quirked a little smile at him. "Not a fan of dancing?"
