Yeah, Gaila doesn't know how to work the private communications buttons. She doesn't really bother to try. She does relay her current coordinates though.
To Pavel: Here I am!
To Man Jim: I really really wanna see you. So when you get a chance, could you stop on by?

Gaila watched him. He looked pretty embarrassed about it, even though his body was doing a lot of the right things. It probably wasn't such a good dance to teach Pavel, she realized. Like she'd thought about before, Pavel would never enslave anyone. In fact, an Orion slaver was pretty much the exact opposite of the kind of person Pavel was. He was gentle and sweet and even if people hurt him, he didn't try to hurt them back.
She started thinking maybe she should've picked a girl dance for him, after all. There were some slave dances that were all about love and loss. Pavel could've really gotten into one of the ones about a slave falling for her smart, manly, talented master.
But then Pavel's face changed. He was really getting into it, and it was a part of Pavel Gaila hadn't seen before and it was really really hot, god, she'd noticed, but made herself stop noticing, how lithe his body was and how agile and how intense his eyes were and it was really really--
scary, really. Because Gaila recognized some of the things in Pavel's movements, and Pavel's eyes. This was, after all, a slaver dance. She'd performed it many, many times before she'd shown it to Pavel.
Just, all those times, she'd never ever played the one in control.
But Pavel was her friend. And she didn't get scared of friends.
"Yeah," she made herself say. "Yeah, we should. That was really--beautiful, Pavel. You know, dancing is a really great way to express yourself. It's really safe, and you can say things with it you might otherwise not, in real life. It's sort of like sex, when you're doing it with people you are comfortable with. You should do that. Just let go. And make sure when you do a spin like that, you spot. That means you focus on one point, or you get dizzy."
She showed him how, and he followed suit. She gently guided his arms again into their appropriate positions. "You're doing really super, honey."

Trying to spot was hard, because he couldn't seem to stay in a straight line, but Pavel adjusted to it after a few tries. Gaila's every example was so effortless, so beautiful, Pavel practically felt the control and precision she was emanating.
Finally they finished the dance, and Pavel felt a little proud of himself. He was slightly dizzy, but he waited for it to pass, he really felt like doing more. The dance released something from him, pent up energy and negative emotions. If this is what meditation was like, Pavel would have to ask Spock about the Vulcan type; he felt accomplished and restful, more than he'd ever been in a while.
"Gaila." He started. He looked like he'd run a marathon, she looked like she hadn't done anything strenuous all day. "Do you think...there is another dance you could teach me that I can do for, mm, Hikaru?"
And maybe even for Mr. L-- Pavel shook his head rapidly from the thought, wherever it had come from. He wanted to get to know the man, but not know him with that, god.
Then Pavel shifted awkwardly, biting his lip. The previous dance was already engraved in his mind, and he was ready for another. "A...special one." Pavel put emphasis on that word, hoping she'd catch his meaning. Hikaru had always been a gentle lover, but Pavel was still a beginner at every experience and wanted to have something new and intimate for him.
Pavel only hoped his request wouldn't be too awkward for her (then he scratched that thought too when he remembered it was Gaila), but he was definitely ready to learn as much as he could.

But Jim was dropping by soon. "I can totally teach you something else, honeybunches. I got some things to do right now, but we could totally meet up later this week. You just comm me, okay?"
They agreed and said their goodbyes. Then Gaila met up with Jim.
[[OOC: Hope the slight godmodding is okay. Now it's backdated way back to semi-early in the leave on Risa.]]
