"British" is, at least, a rather less remarkable explanation than "Oh, he's from not quite 200 years ago, and possibly a different version of Earth."
Well, perhaps the best term is neither request nor command but statement of intent.
And Dr. Brennan probably would not find that opinion remarkable at all. In fact, she would probably have fifteen or sixteen anthropological principals in actions she would use it to illustrate.
All of which is to say, Henry's a pretty good choice for dance partner, too. It's hard to talk on the dance floor; the music is loud and talking's not really the point.
