This ballroom isn't solid air over a glittering cityscape but it is still damn gorgeous.

Dancing with Siva is so much fun.

That is what happens when two people who are both good dancers and reasonably fond of each other dance in a gorgeous location!

Yes, it is!!

Over the course of the dancing she is maybe starting to look at him contemplatively.

It's possible that he notices that.

Well, nothing's going to come of it while they're dancing. And the dancing is so delightful.

Eventually he's too tired to continue. He lets the music fade, and flops into a comfortable chair at the edge of the room.

"Well, that was fairly glorious."

"Yeah," she says, similarly tired. "Sometimes dancing is better than sex."

"I wouldn't have said that a week ago, but you know what, in this case I think you're right."

"Had you really never had a really good dancing partner before?"

"Apparently not!"

"Such a shame. I'm honored to be your first."

"You're delightful," he says, grinning at her.

"I think you might've mentioned that at some point."

"Well, I feel compelled to mention it again."

"Well, I can hardly say I mind."

He smiles at her.

She walks over to his chair and looks at him contemplatively again.

"Something on your mind?"

If she leans over him and kisses him, would that be a satisfactory answer?

It would.

Good, because that's what happens.

He approves of this development! He approves of it very much!

Oh, good. Because it is delightful, and might go on for quite a bit.
