Perhaps he shouldn't be lifting and tossing, but in all honesty how much did Alastor weigh, and did that apply to otherworldly creatures with superhuman strength?
But this was also pride. He could carry a fawn AND the fawn's father, couldn't he? His... queen? Did he really want to be called that, or was that a joke? Eh, ask later-
Oh, did his body protest a little. The aches were reminding him of themselves every time he bent, every time his arms lifted past the chest level. With his outfit chosen to mask his bump, he was heating up a little, but the bead of sweat at the brow would just be chalked up to how intensely he had focused.
He still blew an appreciative and rowdy whistle for Goetia couples that decided to cut a fucking rug- gotta gas up the demons that were actually trying!- But he made a show of taking a few and twirling them away to their partners before moving to his own, adding the others on the floor to the mesh of festivity. It was enough to coax a few of the hesitant to gradually join in.
