[Teasing, because he found himself having fun - following Dom's lead, watching him more in the mirror for the fun of it than to mimic but he prides himself on not doing too terribly. He will, however, sit down. But he'll clasp Dom's hand for a second first.]
[ Not that he ever did before. Dom's stuck on being self-conscious about this one thing, always thinking it's ammunition to be used against him eventually, for whatever reason. ]
I picked up this new style. It's called waacking. 'You heard about it?
Picked it up pretty recently? So I'm still learning. Except I don't have anyone around to teach me more, so ... you're just gonna get the basic stuff.
[ Although 'basic' already has a few more advanced elements with Dom, given his background with other styles. ]
You do a lot of arm stuff, like ... [ He does a couple of movements, rotational, slower than if there was a beat. Then he shows Theo a few more examples of other moves and steps. ] Goes all the way back to the 70s. I didn't know that. Kinda reminds me of voguing, but it's way different.
[Dom has Theo's full attention, brows up and eyes curiously wide. He thinks Dom is poetry in motion, a sense of art that Theo himself isn't capable of. It's beautiful to witness, and he wishes he had the ability to translate what he sees into compliments he knows Dom would accept. Instead, he just watches with awe.]
I like it. I like the way you move - it makes me... makes me wanna draw.
[ There's that reluctant smirk that comes dangerously close to looking like a bashful smile on Dom's face, eyes down after he stares at Teddie in silence, hand coming up to rub over the pink fuzz. (His roots are showing; he's gonna have to bleach and dye them again.) ]
Well … bring your sketch book next time, then.
[ The closest he can get to accepting that compliment. He turns his back to Theo to see himself in the mirror and starts the real practice. ]

[He's just - happy to observe.]
No, uh. What is it?
