The Cape Rouge, Somewhere Behind the Preserve, Saturday Evening

[okteiviakom]

Octavia had her date nights with Lucifer, and Lucifer had a similar (thought still vastly different) routine going with Duke, but all three of them together hadn't really taken the time to do anything special for an evening in a while. So that was what tonight was for.

Duke had handled sailing the Rouge to a more secluded spot near the preserve. Lucifer was handling the food.

Octavia had... hung up some extra twinkly lights on the deck. That was important too, right? And she'd picked some stuff for the playlist too. Was still picking stuff on her phone, actually.

[ooc: For those two I just gently modded!]

They finished dinner without much more conversation, just enjoying each others' company and the peaceful quality of being alone together at home. Once the food was gone and the table cleared, Duke stretched his arms up over his head, looking up at the night sky between the fairy lights.

"So. I was told there'd be dancing?"

[okteiviakom]

"I put a bunch of stuff in the playlist," Octavia offered with a crooked little smile. "So... There can be music, at least."

There would definitely be dancing.

"It's not grunge again, is it?" Lucifer asked, casting her a look.

[betterthanaplan]

"Sounds fun to me," Duke said. "I can dance to anything."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia rolled her eyes. "It's not grunge."

Some of it was grunge.

[my_own_advocate]

"It takes work actually dancing, dancing to grunge," Lucifer pointed out. "But I am curious about this playlist."

[betterthanaplan]

"Hit play for us, gona," Duke said, clapping his hands together. "If Lucifer won't dance, we'll just dance without him."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia gave a soft snort. She picked up her phone, tapped at a few things, and then their sound system sprang to life.

Well. It wasn't grunge?

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer sighed. "Incorrigible," he said, holding a hand out for Octavia.

[betterthanaplan]

Duke had laughed, loud and delighted, and started bopping his head in time to the music. Now he started clapping, encouraging the two of them to get started.

[okteiviakom]

"It's on shuffle," Octavia pointed out, unrepentant, as she took Lucifer's hand.

The other one was tapping the beat against the side of her thigh.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer sighed at her, mouth curving into a smile. "Care for a spin?" he asked, pulling her hand high in an attempt to get her to do just that, towards him.

[betterthanaplan]

Duke leaned back, content to watch them for a bit.

[okteiviakom]

It worked better when there was a warning.

Octavia spun, though it still ended up a little wobbly. But that just made her laugh.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer chuckled and pulled her into him for a moment. It wasn't quite dancing yet.

Though he did take a step back to the beat. And then a step forward.

So maybe a little.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia followed. It wasn't the smoothest, but she did have a sense of rhythm about her, so that helped her.

She still looked terribly amused about it, though.

[my_own_advocate]

"Come on," Lucifer laughed. Moving a little more obviously, but still smoothly. "Work with me, miss Octavia."

[okteiviakom]

"I thought I was," Octavia protested.

But moved with him. A little smoother, now.

[my_own_advocate]

"No, you were mocking the situation," Lucifer informed her, and let them fall into a rhythm.

Duke could join in whenever he felt like it.

[betterthanaplan]

Duke was still clapping along and watching, but he spotted his opening soon enough, stepping in smoothly to take Octavia's hand and offer her a spin of his own.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia's ensuing chuckle sounded a little rough, but also delighted.

She was also a little more graceful about this spin than the last, so, progress.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer laughed with them, stepping aside just long enough to let Duke through-- before moving in to crowd them.

Just a little bit.

[betterthanaplan]

Well. That would get you grabbed with Duke's other hand for a spin of your own, Luce. Just see if it doesn't.

[my_own_advocate]

That earned another burst of laughter, but Lucifer took to it with verve, spinning around in a little flashy way that made his jacket flare outwards.

He used the grip Duke had on him to pull the man into himself as soon as he was done spinning. If Octavia came along for the ride: oh well.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia did, funnily enough, just narrowly avoiding just crashing into them as she did.

The laugh came out loud, even over the music. Maybe that was what made it safe in the first place.
