Woof sits and listens for a little bit, then nudges Mira.  "Dance with me?"
he asks her smoothly.

He gets up, goes to the surround sound machine, and turns it on.  He slips
in a dance CD and the music begins.  He comes back and holds out his hand
for her.

She takes his hand and lets him lead her to a clear area and moves into his 
arms easily. She says softly, "This is much better than talking nowhere."

The slower music fills the room drowning out the music from outside.

The pair move across the floor. Mira is very small and Woof can easily 
look over her head as  he takes her in his arms.

"That is a great idea, Woof! We're here to have fun."

Shawn rose to his feet and bowed to Jez.

"Will you dance with me?"

Kelly drains his glass and stands up. "If you can't fight them.." He 
walks over to April and Ilane. He stops in front of them; his spine 
straightens and they almost hear his heels click together. "April, 
would you care to dance with a washed up spacer?"

April smiles and chuckles. "As long as you don't mind your partner being a 
singer/musician who doesn't dance very well." She takes his arm to head to the 
dance floor.

OOC: It's not dead! Shawn wants to have fun, too! Summarize, if you must,
but don't just let him have been rejected.

"That's for sure," he agrees, steering her away from the main group.  She feels good in his arms.  Truth be told, it's been a long time since he held a woman.  She dances well, following his lead.  Her head is chin high on him.  He bends his head, nose kind of over her hair.

He sniffs.  "What is that?  Are you wearing a perfume?  Or is it your shampoo?"

Woof smiles back.  "Yes, knowing you I would believe it."  He breathes in 
deeply.  "I like it!"

He relaxes holding her in his arms, the 'doctor' and 'cousin' fading a bit, 
the woman she is coming to the fore...

She grins, "Good! But, to be honest, I am wearing a light splash of scent 
from an obscure island on a remote planet in the middle of virtually 
nowhere. It is my favorite scent and I hoard my small stash of it with 
nothing short of ferocious devotion. The location of that island is a 
rather closely held secret of mine and was entrusted to me by a rather dear 
friend."

There is a slight hitch at one point and Woof says, "You must think I'm the 
most gullible guy in the world!"  Woof blushes as he holds her, looking 
down at her.  "I hadn't thought I smelled it before, though..."  He 
ponders, "Come to think of it, I've smelled 'just you' before, after 
whipping that tush of yours on the court!"  He playfully puts a finger into 
her ribs as he dances with her.

"Who would that friend be?  Anyone I know?"

"You are not gullible. It could have been. And I don't know, do you know 
Galina Zorn?" She smiles, "Best friend's big sister and all that. 
Interesting seeing the behind the scenes with a 'star'."

"Galina Zorn?  I've heard of her.  You know her?  Ohhhhh.  Do tell me!"  He 
turns her out, and brings her back in in time with the music. "What's it

"You learn to appreciate little things you and I take for granted. Like 
privacy. You know your friend Lessa? Let's just say newsies become a 
necessary evil. And sometimes they become so invasive you don't feel like 
you have a life. And being able to kick back and put your feet up and munch 
on candy coated pop corn and watch a movie with some friends. Except your 
friends all want a signed copy of your latest album and to know what that 
hunk rock star you're reputedly dating is really like. And want to get in 
pictures newsies take of you and *everyone* tries to sing with you and show 
off how good they are and maybe they could sing on stage with you or 
something sometime."

She flushes, "I'm sorry. But you asked."

"And all I could see all the time was how badly she just wanted to be able 
to just be herself sometimes and not have to deal with it. But only when 
she thought no one was looking. She handled it all with this natural grace 
and dignity and poise that I have always envied. I have too much temper, I 
think, to put up with what she did. At least not the way she did. That air 
she has was never something coached or a media build. It is real from her 
heart out."

"Then you have the advantage of me, cousin mine." He leads the way to

 She tries to relax and follow his lead.  April's smile lights up. "I'm almost 
a bit envious of the comaraderie you all have.  It reminds me of my time with 
the band... You seem like a fine bunch...interesting as well.  I suspect you

Kelly manages to find his way around the dance floor, but he isn't a 
very good dancer. "The more people we have, the better, I think. Uncle 
Akus", he smiles, "seems to have had enough offspring to ensure a good 
crew for the /Mae Lee/, at least."

Aprils laughs softly, "Yes it appears that way.  I do have to admit I'm both 
nervous and excited at the prospect of working on the Mae Lee.  Has anyone 
looked into tracing all of our lineages to Uncle Akus?  I'm curious as to

out there that *didn't* make the cut?"

"I don't know. They do seem to be popping up everywhere, though." He 
looks down just in time to avoid stepping on her foot. "No offense, of 
course. There is enough for all of us - work as well as rewards."

April notices the change. She takes in a breath and appears to begin to say 
something but hesitiates.  After a moment she says, "I'm from Argent. So what 
ships did you work on previous to our inheritance?" Changing the subject

Ilane smiles.  "Yes, of course Cory, and I *promise* to keep it slow..."  She 
follows him out to the dance floor, and starts to dance with him.

Even though she chooses an easy and slow dance step for Cory's sake, it quickly 
becomes obvious that Ilane is an excellent dancer [Dance-4] and that she's 
*very* graceful and light on her feet [DEX-E].  She's also good company, and is 
more than willing to engage in a bit of conversation.  She asks with a 
smile, "Where are you orginally from, Cory?"

Kelly smiles gently at her. "Sorry about that. There have been better 
days than the ones I had on Shaw." He seems to be catching on to the 
dancing - he is moving to the beat more naturally now. "My ships, hm? 
Well, there's been several, actually. The last one was the Confed Navy 
Heavy Cruiser /Silas Alexander/. I rode through Second Cathey with 
her."

OOG - My dads a sailor, loves to race and all that sort of stuff.  He's done
the Victoria to Maui race twice and he had a change to do the SanFran to
Sidney race this year but couldn't get the time off work...  So he's
retiring and saying I'll sail where I want when I want.

I used to sail all the time, navigation was my thing loved it and helming...
But that was years ago.
