Still, his brother was a perfectly refined gentleman with all the expected skills, and he was nothing if not the sort of little brother who doggedly chased after the elder. So he too, has all the expected skills. And for a moment, after the reassurance, he's almost able to disengage enough to imagine he is really back when he needed these skills, when Klint was alive and there were no vast conspiracies to unravel. It's nice.
But then he remembers where and when he is, and he releases his hold on Sylvando's waist to lead him into a final underarm turn as a final flourish.]
