Willows in the wind (Day 8 Early Night)

[Yslane Tssilla]

Yslane snapped back, reversing her earlier spin....as before it brought them close before she backed into the proper distance. "Joining the Order? No, my manifestation of Force sensitivity was in sensing the emotions of others. Its....terrifying when you are a child and unable to control it properly. The Order was calm, a place to learn that control."

"Everyone deserves a little sympathy sometimes," She smiled, "And sharing that burden with your family might heal some of the rift...."

[Zanebry Varliss]

That was interesting and he regard her for a moment curiosity in his eyes. "Have you ever tried sensing my emotions? He asked after a moment, something told his she hadn't but he still kind of wanted to know.

"Perhaps, and that's one of the reasons I've considered going home. To tell them a little bit about the things I've done. I must admit though, that's a frightening prospect." He finished with a dry chuckle. "One must start somewhere though."

[Yslane Tssilla]

"No," Yslane replied, "Not that you could tell if I had." Her eyes closed for a moment and her lips moved ever so slightly, then a sly smiled formed on her lips.

She opened her eyes, "I wish I could offer my own experiences there....." Her eyes dropped down in thought, "But....well I feel like they will be understanding, not the Force....just optimism and good will for what that is worth."

[Zanebry Varliss]

Oh? They were playing games were they? He could play games. Zane moved they to switch direction in the dance, that his fingertips brushed her butt during the transition was certainly an accident.

There was a sly smile on his lips as well, as their eyes met once again. "Optimism, good will, understanding, those all mean a lot to me Yslane. None of them are things I've received a lot of over the last several years."

[Yslane Tssilla]

Yslane was about to respond when her eyes went wide for a second, then she adopted a deadpan expression. "I thought you were an expert dancer."

The irritation didn't last, "Well....if it helped then I am glad to have provided. I suppose under the calm Jedi exterior... I am just a naive idealist."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I just figured you read my intentions." He replied with a soft chuckle, a sly smile still on his lips.

"Sometimes that's what this galaxy needs Yslane, we can't all be as pessimistic as me." He let her spin away looking once along their arms once again. "Just don't let anything here change you."

[Yslane Tssilla]

"Too late I think, Zane," Yslane's demure smile returns, "I am already going on dates with known womanizing smooth talkers."

The song was slower now as the two drifted on the dance floor. Yslane leans in and whispers softly,"Though I can see how this place could darken one's spirit." Her smile turns more weary as the dance continues.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Thanks to certain alluring young jedi, I'm currently a reforming womanizer." He offered her a small smile. "I'm likely still a smooth talker though."

"It can." He whispered back, his eyes seeking hers once again. "I'd be cateful if I were you. A man mat try to steal more then your lips "

[Yslane Tssilla]

"I am hardly defenseless in that regard," Yslane chuckled, "Oh? I wouldn't have thought I had that much of effect, Mr. Varliss."

The direction of movement changed again and with it their hand positions, the tempo of the music starting to pick up.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I'm sure." He replied with a chuckle. "To a degree, you have. You've told me I might be deserving of happiness, perhaps even love."

The tempo picked up and so did their pace, that mean get more time apart as Zane added in more spins, but also resulted with more time closer together, something that came with the fast pace, along with his hand shifting more towards the middle of her back.

He tried to avoid it for awhile, but soon enough would come the time he added another dip.

[Yslane Tssilla]

"I wish you both Zane," Yslane smiles, "I have done at least some good on this world at least...."

She feels the coming dip and as it begins, Yslane is better prepared. As the dip came she closed her eyes and let Zane cradle much of her weight, her feet were braced to keep either of them from tipping. The move had not left her as vulnerable but the closeness it brought the two could not help but bring back a deep blush.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"You'll do more." Zane said with a certainty, his eyes matching hers, the sly smile changed to something more caring.

It was nice feeling her weight in his arms, in a way it was something he had been missing, a trust perhaps? That might be why he couldn't help but brush his lips across hers, that's all it would be though, unless she responded wanting more.

[Yslane Tssilla]

A part of her wanted it....but Yslane had prepared in more was then one. Her Jedi training asserted itself and the moment passed. She smiled weakly as the dip ended.

"I can only hope."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Sometimes hope us all that we have." He offered with a smile, both relieved and disappointed she hasn't responded.

"Should we get those drinks now?" He didn't really want to end their dance, but what he wanted, and what he promised were starting to get blurred.

[Yslane Tssilla]

Yslane smiled, she wanted to say It doesn't have to end,
why don't you just kiss me but all that came out was, "Yeah... drinks sound nice."

[Zanebry Varliss]

Zane had missed a cue once or twice in his life, but the way Yslane spoke meant more then a little to him. Sometimes you had to give a woman what they wanted, even if they didn't ask. Perhaps to end their dance on a flourish he sent her spinning away, stepping back slightly as he pulled her in so her back would be towards him, his hand across her stomach.

The dip was a bit of a delicate thing, a shift of his leg, a hand on her back, to support her as he dipped Yslane in the opposite way, nearly across his leg as he dipped in, his lips finally truly meeting hers.

[Yslane Tssilla]

Yslane was caught off guard there, at first offering resistance then returning his kiss. Her cheeks flushed red and time seemed to slow around her.

When finally they parted she said softly, "You... shouldn't have done that, Zane." When Yslane was brought back to her feet, she avoided his eyes afraid of what her own might betray. "I think...we both need a drink now."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I know." He replied softly as he brought her back to her feet. "But I'd do it again, as many times as you'd like." As their dance ended Zane wrapped a arm around her waist, as he started to escort Yslane from the floor. He'd keep her as close as she would allow as they made their way towards the bar.

[Yslane Tssilla]

It turned out Yslane stayed closer then would be expected, her side pressing against his as they walked. She was silent as they walked, her face and neck were red with embarrassment.

[Zanebry Varliss]

He didn't comment, but he did change their direction, aiming for a semi secluded booth, someplace they could slide next to each other Zane knew, he shouldn't be doing this, but some small part of him wanted to be close to her, for at least a little longer.

"What would you like?" He asked as they settled in, his lips smiling, but his eyes telling her they could stop this whenever she wanted. "I don't think I've ever asked what you liked when it came to drinks."

[Yslane Tssilla]

"Something strong right now," She still wasn't looking at him and her face remained red....but she had no objected to the seating arrangements. "...no how about the first drink we shared, but the stronger version."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"A daiwah'quay for the both of us then." Z said, as he waved over a server and placed a order. Z's hand drifted naturally around her back and across her shoulders, as he looked back towards her. She needed to tell him to stop. It was all he needed that one word. "I never managed to play for you again, perhaps sometime before I leave I'll get to fix that. Or at the very least send you a recording."

[Yslane Tssilla]

Yslane closed her eyes and said nothing at first.

"I...think I would like that Zane, things have been so busy as of late. It seems there is no chance to enjoy oneself." She finally looks into his eyes, smiling meekly.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"That's the honest truth." He replied with a smirk. "You can always have my time though Yslane, if you ask for it. Maybe I could put together a private performance if nothing else?" That was certainly. "You just need to ask." He should of added to stop, but the words were there, behind his eyes, as his eyes met hers.

[Yslane Tssilla]

Yslane shook her head, "No....let's focus on tomorrow Zane." She finally found something to latch onto, "After tomorrow...then we can think about performances."
