[ It is a little awkward to be dancing without any music, but JJ's still actually having fun. After days of trekking through the hollow and wilderness, fighting off beasts and living off the land and generally being miserable, this is much more up his alley. Even if the stakes are high—the fact that Nami is even going along with it is enough to lift his spirits. ]
Of course— [ he spins them around ] —because we are professional dancers, it's no challenge for us at all.
[ For a second, he actually believes it. Nami might not know the steps, but she's quick enough to keep up with him. He doesn't even think about it as he lifts her right up in a twirl, bringing her back down to the ground with ease and picking up the pace just because of his own increasing excitement.
But he might have flown a little too close to the sun as he does so, when, just seconds later, Nami's foot goes slamming down on top of his, the impact sudden enough to starle a yelp out of him as he stumbles backwards, one, two steps, before he freezes, hovering in midair with his eyes wide.
If he had any hopes that their performance before this was good enough to convince the guards, they're quickly dashed when the guards laugh for a second before pointing their weapons at them.
"That's enough. We don't have time for this, so why don't you just get lost?" ]
