Alaric's laugh is a light in his sky and the warmth in Anders' smile reflects it: warm and adoring. "Oh, simple: it only requires trust, confidence and letting go of control." Which he says jokingly but, admittedly, is sort of the point even in what they're doing, right?

"I can follow instead, but I think you're up for it. Trust, confidence in your partner, and attention paid to their body language: the small tells of what comes next." He drew them back as he spoke, into the open area behind the couch. The hand holding Alaric's moved to splay their fingers out so they were palm-to-palm while Anders' other hand rested at Alaric's waist.

He pressed slightly into their hands as he took a step forward with the corresponding foot. "Like so, I signal this foot moves and that I want you to move back with it, then the next, and when I apply pressure to both places, one to lead and one to pull, it means we turn. The steps don't matter, you're simply trusting I don't lead you into the sofa."
