Very few people could make that answer believable, as opposed to a means of deflection, even if it's that too, at least in part. Loxley smiles, and normally there'd be a line here, like, yes, I'm very wise, everyone says, but the urge leaves him before it can manifest properly.

"Do," he says, instead, which is just enough time before the dance demands they break apart again.

In the few seconds in which Loxley steps out of a turn with one of the pair dancing beside them, and back to Derrica, maybe some decision has been blearily landed on, as he says, "And perhaps once you've tired yourself of all this congratulatory merriment," he suggests, as they move in a circle, "you might come find me."
