He does at least have something handled. Despite how tense and awkward the idea of dancing with all of these other people present is, the way Xander talks is just so.. casual. So easy, or so it seems to Alice, either way. It seems like his words just flow out naturally, rather than being carefully considered and turned over and over in her head first the way Alice treats her own words.

It's nice. It makes things feel a bit less difficult. It makes her believe that perhaps if he can act so casually about it, she may grow to do the same.

At the very least she's able to bring the faintest trace of a playful edge to her tone as she says: "Well then, why don't you show me how you dance first and then we can decide on your refinement, or lack thereof."
