Public 1st Zinder Blind Date Extravaganza!

[Porro Tanau]

Location: Moethus Luxury Cruiser
Direct Interaction: Vaux Gred

Porro was very good at noticing a blush on a woman’s cheeks, at least a woman of a species that such reaction displayed itself as with a human. The slight stammer in Vaux’ response gave him even more confidence that he was heading in the right direction. He did find it hard to believe that a girl like Vaux was not used to constant flirting, but if she was military perhaps that was just the way her unit worked. He gave a nod when Vaux was able to explain that she had been busy. Even though he did his best to keep a carefree life and veer clear of “work” from time to time. There were times when even Porro was too busy to allow himself a time on the town, so to speak.

The response about dancing also seemed to be received quite well. It was a good thing that Porro didn’t embellish his talents. He had done that several times and got caught up in the lie. ”No fear of me passing up a chance to move next to you, maybe get a chance to hold you if the music is right.”

Porro was also glad to see that Vaux’ interest didn’t wane as flirtations turned to more serious talk. He could tell that she noted what his wink meant, and was encouraged that it did not change her view of things. Porro was unfamiliar with the specifics of the fighters that Vaux mentioned, but he knew they were Mandalorian models. That told him the Vaux had seen battle, not just a pilot on some peaceful rock doing exercises with a crew of green comrades. ”Both like to restore ships huh? Well I’d certainly help you out if I could. If you're interested maybe I can show you the Smooth Gambit sometime. She’s not pretty yet…but give me some time. I’ve been wondering what I should do with the exterior of the ship. In my line of work it’s not always wise to do something to call too much attention to it. But on the other hand, I like to stand out.” At the offer to act as his escort Porro wasn’t able to fight off a bit of a blush himself. ”If I find myself needing a bit of protection on a job you’ll be the first call I make.”

 

[Countess Anétresya]

A touch of the glass rim to her lips, Aurelia took another sip. "I may be able to show you around if you did." She added. Qena was a small ecumenopolis, it would only take about a day or two to show tour the entirety of the planet.

"Oh, really?" she challenged with a chuckle at his claim to be lack of diffidence. While she had extended an invite to ask something more suggestive - or at least that she expected - the knight would keep his decency. There was a hint of surprise on her visage at how personal of a question he'd returned. Noble, she'd give him that. Nevertheless, she would hold herself to her word. Aurelia gave a thought for a moment. While she had a couple of flings, she hadn't had many long-term relationships.

"I haven't had many long-term... but if you wish to know, its less than a year ago. We split amicably after nearly 4 months. Believe it or not, at 18, I managed to get on a spaceship and traveled for a year with a small crew - where I first met him. So he was already a good friend before we got together. We broke up because of our different lives, he travels with a wanderlust while I have... commitments on Qena. The relationship just wouldn't have been feasible any longer of a term." She answered with a sigh. Porro Tanau had wanted to continue the relationship long-distance, but Aurelia knew it would only have held him back and potentially fester jealousy for both parties.

Aurelia was tempted to ask the same, but then a thought occured to her that she really didn't need to know given they were both seeking something casual. Guys with a face like his were never short of girls their way. A better question came to mind. "You could tell me about your own only if you're comfortable to. Although, I have one for you... What do you want and expect in a casual relationship?" She'd wondered if she and the knight had the same picture of what a casual relationship was.

"And what about exclusivity and intimacy?" She asked bluntly, drilling straight to the point. It was best to get on the same page now rather than later. She sure hoped the Jedi wouldn't prove his words wrong about being shy now. ​

Fomys was a bit surprised that they had assigned seats, but this was an organized event perhaps she should not have been. Their seats were situated in a good position to watch the stars, though it was unclear just where in the “sky” the comets would appear. Fomys also nodded her thanks to the attendant and took a seat beside Vulpesen. She sat close to the shared armrest with her arm leaving plenty of room for Vulpesen’s if he wished to use it as well. She wondered a bit at any possible meaning of the movement of his tail, but didn’t want to seem rude asking. She would figure it out given they spend enough time with each other.

”He joined the army, hoping to be jetted off to somewhere to make a difference and see new places,” Fomys said of her brother with a smile on her face. ”I stayed put, joined the investigation and patrol service. Things were easier before Kilran and the Empire came to power.” She gave a bit of a sigh.

The question of why was an easy one. She needed anything that wasn’t Imperial, “rebellion” or New Alderaan to get her mind straight while on a forced vacation. ”There was a rebellion on New Alderaan. The Empire put it down hard. There is a lot of distrust of native folks. I found a bit of time available and wanted to see if maybe my brother was right and there was something more magic out in the galaxy. I guess my intrigue wasn’t really to look for war, so maybe I’d get lucky and find love instead.”

Tags: Lily Decoria

The skin around Ko’s antiox mask reddened slightly as Lily teased him about clumsy dancing from before. Although still a bit embarrassed about his prior blunder he could laugh some about it too. “You’re probably right, clubs haven’t ever really been my kind of scene. Although if you’d like we could certainly check it out together if you’d like. I'd have no issue with that.” Ko replied, wanting to let Lily know that they had options here.

He listened to Lily’s description. Although there was no need for him to, he also glanced out the dome like she did. His more analytically focused mind actually formed a decently good image of what she was describing, as limited as it was. “Green comets? Woah…” There was a note of fascination in that detail. “Perhaps these comets are rich in copper. Well, copper-sulfate that at least. When burned it can create a green flame…” Ko explained using some of his simple chemistry knowledge. “And green is an optimistic color, symbolizing growth and new beginnings.” Ko continued, adding onto what Lily had said to him. A soft ‘smile’ formed behind his mask as he did so. Not wanting his fiend to feel dejected.

“There’s no need for you to apologize to Lily, there’s nothing wrong with your description. Plus, as amazing and beautiful as space can be, it is still mostly just a lot of nothing.” Ko said with a chuckle. Trying to encourage the young Echani women. “To see something marvelous you either have to be lucky or go out of your way to see something charted out by someone else.”

Kel Dor then thought for a moment. “Unfortunately I doubt that this cruise ship has a dojo. I would say that the two of us are well overdue for a rematch.” Ko joked. But it had been quite a while since the two of them sparred. Before he’d even started to be mentored under Jonyna. “Afterall how else am I gonna test out my echani vocabulary?” He added, thinking back to how she said he was more or less like a toddler with their martial form of communication. ​

Never did Trayze think he would be grateful to lose a Sabacc match - though he remembered the words of his Grandpa Zarrick: "When a Force-Sensitive gambles, he can only lose - although, when a group of Force-Sensitives gather to gamble, that's proper fun!" The Kiffar would argue back that he wasn't certain if the dozen or so Jedi would congregate around a card-table, with him being awkwardly there for the ride.

Yet even despite the Force, Trayze thought that the House, or the gentlemen near him, may go on for greater prospects. Let them fight the Jedi, if any had Bogan's own luck to scrape a win against a Force-Sensitive. There could be a karaoke bar, or someplace to gorge and drown his anxiety as far away from the Jedi as possible.

Perhaps with the next hand, he may be able to lose with grace and elude any potential conflict before it starts.

 

[Vaux Gred]

Tag: Porro Tanau
​

Vaux smiled and laughed at the note that she didn't have to worry about Porro running, and a hint of red would come to her cheeks as he noted the chance of dance close. It did sound kind of nice though. "Well, maybe you'll get your chance." She said. This night was turning out to be fun, and a bit of a surprise for the Mandalorian.

She noticed that his interested seemed peeked when she mentioned the fighter she was working on too. He said he could even show her his ship sometime. He knocked its looks, but she just snickered. "I've seen some wrecks in my day that I swear had more fight than any military ship. Would definitely love to see you ship at some point though. As far as standing out, well you're talking to the girl who's fighter right now is a bright red." She said, as she noticed the blush Porro now had. She smirked. Apparently they were both good at finding just the right thing to say. Plus it was nice to kno he'd accept the help. She'd drink some more of her Jawa Juice, smiling and looking at her date.

"Happy to help. Right now though I think you own me some dancing."

 

[Tempo]

Jalen Kai'el

Tempo sat nervously, fingers fidgeting with his slee ve as he tried to maintain eye contact.

"A Jedi, huh?" he quivered, curiosity in his tone. "I haven't met many of your kind. I met a cat-like one once who insisted I join them... But they didn't give me any good reasons... What's it like being a Jedi Medic? Does it pay well?" Tempo asked, gaining confidence.
"I'm sorry I haven't really heard of Lothal before. traveling off-world is a pricey thing for me presently. I don't travel much unless it's for work. Something I'd like to change. It's nice seeing more of the galaxy. " He smiled.

 

[Porro Tanau]

Location: Moethus Luxury Cruiser
Direct Interaction: Vaux Gred

Porro was entranced for a moment by Vaux’ smile, laugh and the red that formed on her cheek. The charming smuggler would deny it to anyone that made such a statement openly, but in his own head he would admit that he was quick to be affected by the charms of an attractive young lady. At times he wondered if he wasn’t more like Sorr Kortu than he would like to admit, and if it was just his minor commitment phobia and gambling mannerisms that kept him from something serious like Sorr had with Tiaza or Brinna had with Shoan. His last serious relationship had nearly cured him of both habits, but in the end they had too different lives to make things work. So there was a bit of hope for that special romance to take place. ”You’re too brave to run away, and too enticing for me to pass up…the chance will come. When it sneaks up on us, who can tell.”

The talk over their respective ships was a pleasant shift. If for only a short time it would certainly hold Porro’s attention in a serious manner that would curtail his desire to flirt. Not that continued flirtations were a bad thing for a first date, but sometimes Porro wondered if he pushed things a bit too quickly when he was attracted to a woman. Finding common ground aside from physical attraction was something that Porro generally had difficulty finding when on dates, or even with women he started up flirtations with. At the moment the Gambit was his first focus, so finding another person who was interested in restoring a spacecraft was something sure to keep the conversation from flaming out too quickly. ”The Gambit won’t be built for a straight up fight. More elude capture and run fast. In that manner looking like a wreck can be an asset as long as she doesn’t behave like one when it counts.” Porro gave a bit of a laugh and smile as he gave thought to what a bright shiny government built cruiser would think of his little ship. ”At the end of the cruise, once we’ve had some drinks and a few twirls around the dancefloor, I will be more than happy to give you a tour.”

At the mention of the colors of her fighter Porro had to give a bit of a smirk and a chuckle. ”Oh a fighter sporting colors that make it stand out says something about its pilot. Says that she wants you to notice when she’s flying circles around you, wants you to know who it is that is ending your fight and is confident enough to paint a target on herself. The fact that you're standing here with a drink in hand gives me even more confidence in you as my escort if I should need to get into and out of a sticky situation.”

As he mentioned the drink he took another sip from his own glass. Porro’s normal process was to slowly lean into the drink. He didn’t need it to flirt or to get up the courage to strike out onto the dancefloor, but as the night continued he might order up something a bit stronger if things look to be going really well. ”I think it’s about time we see just how truthful you were about needing a guide,” Porro said, holding out a hand to Vaux. Once she took it he would lead the way to the dancefloor. ”No matter how good you dance, we’re sure to have a lot of eyes on us.” he chuckled and started to move to the rhythm of the music as they found an open spot to dance. It was a medium paced song, something that Porro had danced to quite a few times, a good first dance song for sure. He watched Vaux as he moved and hoped she would be able to mimic his actions. If not he would step in help her.

 

[Silas Westgard]

Location: Restaurant
Objective: Go on a date
Tag: Countess Anétresya

Silas nodded and listened to what she had to say about her past relationship, a love that had passed not too long ago to be still raw. It appeared the pair broke up naturally through unstoppable circumstances. One had the lust for adventure while the other wanted to earn her place in the place she felt comfortable. Unfortuneately, it is similar to what Silas is today. He was always hungry for exploration, and he'd be away going to the far corners of the galaxy for long periods of time to uphold the peace.

That in itself made him slightly worried.

A smile curled up in the corner of his lips when she asked her own question, something more personal between the two of them. Intimately and exclusivity? That was one thing he was hoping she'd ask from the start "Trust me, when it comes to this it will only be me and you, no one else. Intimacy on the other hand is one thing I welcome very much so. I can explain more when we're done here, back in my room of course" Silas explained with a cheeky wink and a brief look to the waiter who was bringing out their food.

Carefully placing it down, the man left faster than he had arrived and left them alone to divulge in their grub. Cutting a decent piece of his steak, Silas poked his fork into the piece and lifted it up towards his date.

"Care to have first try? I'm sure it will be more appealing with me serving it to you"
​

 

[Countess Anétresya]

So he wanted things exclusive - it would be a first relationship that was both casual yet exclusive for her. "Are you sure, Silas? You're a jedi. You travel the galaxy." She pointed out. He was a Jedi, while she was a waitress, things couldn't be anymore different in terms of standing. It was a given that she would hold that in her end if things were to go on, but she would expect him to do the same. A small commitment of fidelity, and perhaps something she needed now - but to be frank, she wouldn't have hopes of it lasting too long.

Now to be invited to spend the night, while things were progressing at a rather speedy pace, she'd be lying to say she didn't like the thrill of it. Subconsciously, at the wink, she bit her lower lip. Clearly, the waiter knew what was between the two as he departed swiftly after serving them their food - she would have done so too.

The temperature was rising. She could feel the heat on her face as a flush of pink surfaced on her cheeks. "I'll be the judge of that." She said with a sultry tone to her words. Perhaps it been the whisky that had eased her up, or a special jedi charm the man possessed. Not breaking eye contact, lips parted as she took the piece of steak from his fork. "Could use more spice if it wasn't already hot enough in here." She remarked briefly with a coy smile before tucking into her own dish.

"Another question. From a scale of 10, how would you rate yourself in bed? I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into later." It was a provocative question she never thought she'd be so bold as to ask, but a good drink had a nice way of loosening the lips.

"Oh my stars! Tune!" she called out as they danced, allowing herself to fully feel the night out and the energy of the music coursing through her. She dance with him, he was a good dancer and her seemed to be enjoying himself.



"I am very glad to hear that." she laughed "You've got nice eyes" she added to him as the danced closely, gently swaying as the music slowed down a little. Screw it... she thought to herself, she leaned in and kissed him. It wasn't the biggest kiss, and certainly nothing risqué, she was, after all a dignified woman, but he would in ten lovely seconds know that this date was going well.

Then, as the music changed again, Anja pulled away, smiled and turned with her back to him placing his hands around her waist and continuing to dance with the charming man.

"All the better to see you with", he quipped, smiling widely. He held Anja's waist tightly as the music pulsed in the background at a steady, slow rhythm, matching it's movements.

Then he pulled her closer, her head resting on his chest, still dancing, oblivious to the world around them.

'Oh, what the hell.'

Leaning down, Kase raised Anja's chin slightly to capture her in a deep kiss.

Vaux smirked at the note of her being too brave to run. It was pretty much true though. Porro also said he was too enticed to pass up the chance, which would lead to another blush from the pilot. Maybe the folks behind this knew what they were doing.

She would pay close attention as Porro gave more details of the Gambit. So more of a sneaky ship. She could respect that. He also offered to show her the ship when they were done. She nodded, looking at the man with a curious eye. "I'd love to see her. And maybe I could how you my Viper." She said, smiling and soon surprised as the smuggler described what he felt her more brightly painted fighter. Honestly he wasn't far off. She wanted them to know who was firing on them, and to see her fly around them like it was nothing. "Guess it is true you can tell a lot about a pilot by their ship. Yeah. I like them to know who they're messing with."

She'd take another sip of her own drink though before hearing Porro, and seeing him extend his hand to her. She smiled like a kid, taking it before heading out on the dance floor with him. "Hope I don't make you eat those words." She said as she started to dance to the music. It wasn't the best for sure, but she did start trying to follows Porro's lead. She couldn't help but enjoy this though. And Porro was right. He wasn't a half bad dancer.

"Why?" Valery blinked and ran a hand up through her long hair while she thought about it, "Well, at first, just to yell at you for the stunt you pulled," she admitted but if that had been all, she would have given him a piece of her mind and left right after that. Instead, she had stuck around and was still talking to him.

But why?

"I suppose..." she began, her voice trailing off while she shook out her hair and let it sway behind her back and against her shoulders, "You're more interesting than I thought you'd be. Exciting and willing to take risk. Fun," Valery said with a warmer smile before she brought her glass up to her lips for a sip. She was very out-of-place in her lack of formal or dance-appropriate clothing, but none of that could shake her confidence.

"Watch the stars?" she asked, clearly surprised, "I'd have never guessed that was something you'd like, but-" Before she could give her answer, Valery's ears caught onto something else. A conversation and a familiar voice. She turned to see Silas Westgard chatting up another familiar face, and she heard the exchange between them.

"My my, first date and you're taking her to your bedroom already, Silas?" Valery teased her former student when he was asked to rate his skill in bed. Valery snickered after that and turned her gaze back to Nej. As much as she wanted to tease him some more, she wasn't going to ditch him for it.

 

[Porro Tanau]

Location: Moethus Luxury Cruiser
Direct Interaction: Vaux Gred

The interactions to this point with Vaux had Porro wondering if the programmers of Zinder would be willing to take a stab at coding his hyperdrive’s droid brain. In a large galaxy there had to be quite a few profiles submitted to the app, but somehow they managed to put Porro with someone who was adventurous, accepted his flirtations with excitement and enjoyed ships. If she was a good sabacc player that would absolutely seal the deal for Porro. Though he was still hesitant to show his gambling prowess. ”Sounds like we’ve got the makings of a nice couple days much less a date. Show off on the dancefloor, have a few drinks, do a bit of flirting, maybe more…” Porro gave a wink, but he wanted to dance first before he pushed anything else physical. ”Then we can move on to serious business see what we can do with ships…”

Once they were on the dancefloor, Vaux again seemed to doubt her prowess in dancing. Porro honestly didn’t care if she was the most awkward dancer in the galaxy, he could still have fun with it as long as she did. As it turned out Vaux was just fine to dance for fun. It likely wasn’t the prettiest sight for someone who was well trained in dance, but it would be just fine for the casual observer. ”You worry too much…You’re doing great,” Porro stepped a smidge closer to be sure that she heard him, but he kept time to the rhythm of the music. With the closer proximity, Porro reached out a hand to Vaux’ hip and gently guided her to sway in the same timing as he was. Her feet were already doing a good job of following his lead, the talent of an observant pilot to say the least.

Vaux smiled at Porro, chuckling a bit at the wink. "Well, it's gonna be fun to see where this go then." She said in a flirting tone. It was still hard to believe out of everyone there she seemed to have a good match with Porro. He seemed to get her flying, and likely would understand what her clan had gone through if it came up. But right now, she was enjoying the moment, particularly the dancing. She smiled at he compliment, and would blush slightly as Porro placed a hand on her hip to help with her keeping time. Vaux looked, putting her free hand to Porro's side as well.

"I do have a good guide." Vaux remarked as she started to get more into the timing of the music with Porro's help. As they would continue dancing, the Mandalorian would enjoy her time more and more. She'd honestly not thought she could dance that well, though her date seemed to think she wasn't too bad. Maybe she was a little too worried. Either way she didn't know where this might lead, but she would definitely be ready to find out.

What's it like being a Jedi Medic? Does it pay well?

"It's less about the pay," Jalen shrugged. "I mean, you recieve utilities and necessities with the Jedi, and you can apply for funds for board and external needs... but most Jedi do business elsewhere to make money. I... never really cared about that stuff. I just care about healing people..."

Jalen sighed, slumping back in his chair.

"Lothal is small, flat, empty, and in the middle of nowhere," he shrugged. "Probably under military occupation. Not exactly a planet with a good track record. It's... a nice place. I'd just rather not go back."

And he'd probably leave it at that.

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen's brow furrowed slightly as she spoke of the rebellion and the response it had recieved. Though he did his best to return his his previously peaceful expression before she could grow too worried as to his thoughts, Vulpesen did make a mental note to check with his own sources as to the planet's situations. Whispers like this were what drove Veradune to act for others, politics of the Alliance be damned. "Well, I can certainly say that your brother was right about any magic that might be in the galaxy," he offered. "I've seen it. Held it. Used it. I like to think I serve it, depending on what you mean. The galaxy is filled with amazing things, and I saw quite a bit, even before I knew I'd likely be around to see much much more." He leaned back an flashed her another grin, a fanged tooth poking out from his lips. "As for love, that's perhaps one of the greatest reasons to do anything, I suppose. Some of my greatest tricks were performed in its name."

"Well, that remains to be seen. I'll be less busy some years, but if there's a massive war I doubt I'll even have time to myself..." The knight admitted, knowing that time with her wouldn't be as much as other men had on their hands. He was being honest now so she didn't have high expectations for him if things lasted between them. It wouldn't be fair on her, nor the moral thing to do in a relationship. She deserved the best, not a man who lied to her face and barely saw her.

Watching her take the food off his fork with her mouth, he smiled lightly and examined her reaction "More spice? I couldn't agree with you more really" Silas nodded, his cheeks blushing slightly from how hot things were getting between them. He was happy with how it was going so far, and her next question took it to the next level.

"Well, you'll have to see for yourself later"

Showing a cheeky smirk he placed another piece of steak into his mouth and began chewing. However, when he heard the voice of Valery Noble taunting him of his activities Silas loudly choked on his food. Coughing heavily, he grabbed hold of his drink and gulped down some wine to help him relieve his throat. It helped, and soon enough he was recatching his breath and staring a hole through his former master with a grumble.

"I see you've poked your head in Valery," he said at first, his eyes soon looking at the dreamboat man. Silas knew she wasn't looking to get with him due to her loyalty to Kahlil, but after what she did just now he was more than eager to get his own back "Hey dude, you do realise she's too old for you right? a few thousand years old? her creaky bones won't be able to keep her standing much longer!"

After a quick wink of vengeance to his former master, he turned back to his date and lightly chuckled "And that is my former Master Valery Noble. As you can see, she likes to make my life a misery when possible"
​

 

[Countess Anétresya]

The date was going much better than she had expected. A finger twirled around locks of emerald green hair as she smiled at his reply. "Ooh that, I shall." There was the anticipation, yet they had only begun working on the food that she was now so eager to finish.

A voice had addressed Silas, glancing up it was a familiar face she saw of one of the patrons she had served at the Qenoir Tavern along with her family. Euphera occasionally had play dates with the triplets. "Valery?" She said, surprised to see a familiar face. Judging by the interaction, she and Silas knew each other well enough for her to poke fun at him. However, it was slightly concerning when the lad started coughing rather aggressively making it quite obvious that his food was lodged in his throat.

"Are you-" Despite her own little laugh at this predicament he was in, she stood up, walking to his side of the table and started patting Silas in the back in an attempt to aid his efforts dislodging the piece of steak from his throat. Thankfully, with a generous swig of wine, he seemed to have done it himself.

Silas turned his attention towards the woman, so did she. Silas wasn't aware of the important fact she left out - she was a mother. With her child's relationship with the noble triplets, she could only hope Valery didn't bring it up. Aurelia's own apprehension started setting in. She laughed out loud at Silas' comment chiding the blondie. "And definitely no match for the husband." She added. She'd seen the couple, they were perhaps both the most formidable and attractive couple she seen.

"A few thousand years old? Huh. I'm beginning to suspect that you are a few hundred years old yourself, Jedi." She prodded at her date. She wouldn't be surprised if he was, given he was a Jedi. "Former master?" Aurelia wasn't quite knowledgeable of the social structures of the Jedi - after all, she had spent most of a life sheltered in a conservative cult. "You served under her?" From where she came from in Xona, there had been servants under her during her reign as a false Goddess - that is before she had escaped.

"Yes, we met at the restaurant I work in Qena."

 

[Porro Tanau]

Location: Moethus Luxury Cruiser
Direct Interaction: Vaux Gred

There was no hesitation or recoil from the suggestion that tonight might lead to something one just didn’t blurt out in a crowded nightclub. Quite the opposite actually as Vaux seemed just as interested in how fun things could become for them. Porro thought for a moment and remembered his profile did say he wanted to start casual. Odds are if they were matched Vaux was the same. Casual didn’t mean the same for everyone, but it seemed Porro and Vaux were very much on the same page. ”Indeed,” Porro responded to the statement of how much fun their date, and whatever happened after would be. He noted the mirth at his wink. That was yet another good sign.

On the dance floor, Vaux attributed her skill in dancing to Porro’s direction. An exaggeration, Porro was quite sure, but getting into a discussion over how they were dancing well didn’t seem like a worthwhile endeavor. Instead he just continued the dance. Again elated at the lack of any withdrawal from his hand on her hip, in fact she did the same and they were even more in sync. Before Porro could say anything further another dancer bumped into him from behind.

Porro took two small steps closer to Vaux, to gain his balance. As that happened his arm snaked around her waist a little bit to add stability. He smiled a bit bashfully once completely stable again. ”I apologize,” he said with a smirk on his lips. ”But if I’m honest, I’d shake that person’s hand rather than assault them for bumping into me.”

Porro chuckled and his grasp on her waist tightened a bit. ”Now that I’m this close I’m having trouble backing away. If you take a step back, I won’t be offended…but I like this position.” His free hand moved to brush a loose strand of hair from her face as he started to move with the music again.
