The man nods, shifting into a large smoke monster with a bestial skull for a head, taking the goat-creature's hand. "I would be honored to."
It bowed before gently clasping its clawed hand in theirs and beginning a waltz like dance. (If you know the song The Crooked Moon, the music is that)
*I literally just spent 30 dollars funding that yesterday! I've been keeping an eye on it for a while now, too.*
The smoke entity dances like it is classically trained, slipping up a little from time to time. "I'm sorry, I don't know this one very well!" It chuckles quietly.
It chuckles and spins them. "My understanding of dance is that there is no wring way to do it." It dips them before tilting its head "Do you believe there is a 'right' way to dance?"
"The right way is whatever makes you happy. Unfortunately, I'm not happy when I'm stepping on my partner's toes. Luckily, I don't have to worry about that here!"
The Egregore brightens up (metaphorically, as he is a shadow creature).
