"I do not dance," he protests, sounding quite put-upon even though he does dance, and very well. Just hardly ever of his own volition. Before he started working for the Spirearch, Benedict had attended countless high society parties, usually as the escort of his cousin, and was therefore forced to dance with her each and every time. He's quite skilled at it, with an innate sense of rhythm and a gracefulness that comes naturally to all the warriorborn. Should he wish to dance with anyone, they would undoubtedly have a good time together, but since he now has the excuse of being Ninon's guard, he can get away without dancing at all.

Instead, he offers her his arm. "If you wish to leave immediately, I will see you safely to your rooms."
