[ It doesn't take long for Genji to pick out some speakers in the walls, but the question is how to start the music.
... ]
Oh! The BCE.
[ He brings up the display, which projects against the inside of his face plate, and then navigates to the app that plays music. There's a folder for "Dance Practice," and so he picks the first song on the list. Music floods the room, and Genji inclines his head to Angela before practicing the bow that they're all supposed to perfect.
( it's a good job that he thinks of it as angela didn't know that that music was there, not having looked at all the new additions to the bce (there seemed to be many).
the bow brings a smile, with how effortless it seems for him, and angela holds a hand out to him with a nod )
Just so you know it's been a while since I've danced.
[ Of course that's exactly what Genji is going to do, as he takes Angela's hand and slides in close toward her. ]
And when was that?
[ Probably back during Overwatch's heyday, if he had to guess. Lately Angela's life has involved setting up temporary medical tents in deserts, from what he understands. ]
[ As the music continues, Genji finds a good place to start and then falls into the steps that he's done his best to memorize. There are times when all they need to do is twirl around in circles, but there are other moments when they need to move away from each other and then come together again, or when he needs to hold his hand out for her. ]
Maybe you should be the one taking the lead.
[ She likely has more experience than he does, at least with this kind of dancing. ]
I think I can manage to avoid doing that, at least.
[ It's true that his footwork is impressive, and that's something that translates decently well on the proverbial dancefloor. There are a few moments when he forgets the next step and pauses as the music continues, but all things considered, the first attempt goes rather well. Genji shoots Angela a smile. ]

( she can't recall just how many but it had been at some point during overwatch, which gave it a vague timeframe at least )
During one of Overwatch's formalities.

( she thought they were both being rusty together. taking the lead is something she's a little less familiar with than dancing itself )
You're doing a good job. You haven't stepped on my feet yet.
( she wasn't concerned. not with his ninja steps )

We'll be impressing those spiders in no time.

( she was far less confident about her own dancing skills even if they were both doing fine )
I imagine you'll be asked for more than one dance.
( because one was reserved for her )
no subject
She's certainly done more good with her life than Genji could ever hope to. ]
And you'll be asked for double that!
[ He laughs and shakes his head at her. ]
Don't sell yourself short, Angela.
