Alvin hardly thought he was going to be any better the polka than a country dance, but it might have been safer? Miss Thompsett looked far too eager for him to hesitate much longer and he supposed he may as well get give it a try. "Just promise you won't hold it against me if I do not do that well." He grimaced, thinking that at least he had once been somewhat agile, if not very graceful. He had spent most of his youth outside running around, climbing trees and whatever else it was that they had gotten up to with the Pottses at large or the Hatchitts. Laurel Potts must have seen to their dancing education at some point.

"I'm willing to try." Hopefully he wouldn't make a complete fool of himself, or her by extension.
