Once in Suite 271, the party truly begins. There is a table laid out with finger foods and punch, and a stereo in the corner playing groovy dance tunes from that Galaxy Far Far Away ( Read more... )

Hear something playing on the stereo that makes your feet twitch? See a pretty girl or guy that really needs to loosen up a little? Had too much to drink? Go ahead, bust a move!

(That Joyous Night) I Ate My Mate has come on, and Tahiri is tapping a bare foot to the rhythm. She loves this song.

"Nice song," Zekk comments as he walks over to Tahiri and slips her hand into his.

If he was any other being in the galaxy right now, he would be asking her to dance.

He doesn't have to ask-- she was just waiting on someone to come into range so she could pounce.

Grinning, she squeezes his hand and drags him out onto the dance floor. "It's my favorite."

Zekk frowns, looking at the dance floor in disgust. "Uh, sandflea, where are we going?"

"Dancing!"

And since he doesn't seem inclined to be helpful, she begins arranging hands on shoulders and waist and trying to get him to move to the beat of the song.

Not dancing yet. Just recognizing the fact that there's a rhythm here somewhere.

Dancing. Dancing's worse than showing up to a diplomatic dinner wearing a suit ages too old.

Much, much worse.

Zekk stands there awkwardly, watching as Tahiri movies his hands. The frown persists, and he shuffles his feet awkwardly. "Do we have to?"

"Yes we have to, because I want to," she says, smiling up at him. "Come on, loosen up a bit. It's like sparring, really, just without any weapons. All footwork."

Tahiri's pretty good at footwork. She's only slightly worried about Zekk's feet, seeing as he's got shoes on and she doesn't.

He sighs, muttering something or other about sandfleas and dancing. Zekk moves a foot to the right and then back to where it was.

He looks down at Tahiri, curious. "Like that?"

Tahiri gives him an encouraging smile. "Yeah, like that. And like this."

She steps back once, pulling him forward as she does. "When I step back, you step up. When I step up, you step back. I go right, you go left-- but we end up going the same direction. Easy!"

Zekk nods and glances down to his feet, to double check that they're doing the right thing. And maybe, just maybe, trying to make sure he doesn't step on her toes.

"Hey, this isn't so bad," he finally says with a grin.

"Told you," she smiles.

Then the song switches to something slower and more mellow, and Tahiri slips her arms up around his neck. "I think you'll like this one better though. Not as much movement."

"Good." Even though he tries not to, it's clear Zekk's relieved at that thought.

He moves his hands downward so that they rest on the small of her back, pulling Tahiri closer to him. "Yeah. Definately like this one better."

"Crazy, isn't it?" she asks, leaning her head against Zekk's chest. "Jaina and Jag getting married. I mean, I always kinda thought it would happen, but now it has."

Zekk laughs and nods. "Just wait till they start having the brats. Now, that's gonna be spaced."

She makes a face. "You know they're going to want us to babysit, right?"
