Do I have it right that you work at a dance studio?

[preseance]

Hey, Rey, that's right.

Swing and ballroom, mostly. A few others if pressed.

Why do you ask?

[forcevisions]

I want to learn.

Not a lot. But I've never done it before and I'd like to try.

[preseance]

I'd be happy to show you the ropes.

Would you want to join a class, or something a little more private? I don't mind giving one-on-one lessons where the Displaced are concerned.

[forcevisions]

I think I'd prefer private.

I don't need to learn a lot. Just enough to get by. What kind do people do at special events?

[preseance]

Depends on the event.

What sort are you thinking? That'll help me narrow it down. And keep in mind, most anything I tell you will be from my culture, so it ain't necessarily the same as what you know.

[forcevisions]

oh.
I'm going to ask Ben to marry me.

I've never been to a wedding, but everything I've heard suggests people dance at them sometimes. He probably knows how, but I never learned.

Do they do that where you come from?

[preseance]

Can't say as I've met a Ben, but congratulations. You've earned a little happiness, I'd say.

In my time, we dance just about anywhere for most any reason, but it is especially common at weddings, so you ain't wrong.

[forcevisions]

Thanks :)

He goes by Kylo Ren. [ most people are probably passingly familiar with him, so she clarifies. he's been here as long as she has, after all. ] Well, right now. He did. I don't know what he prefers now.

[preseance]

Ah — then I have met him, actually. He put me on my favorite pizza place in New Amsterdam. Decent fella, though I ain't talked to him for a spell.

I didn't know you two knew each other. Same universe?

[forcevisions]

Yeah.
We were with the first group, too, so it's been a bit here as well.

[ noteworthy only because most of their interactions back home could not be described as intimate and she knows that. ]

[preseance]

What was it like? If you don't mind my asking. That first arrival. Presumably there weren't no safehouses back then.

[forcevisions]

Morningstar attacked the car we were being moved in.
By Henries, I guess.

[ processing that still. ]

When they realized we weren't UNA weapons, they were as surprised as we were.

[preseance]

Lordy, I can't hardly keep it all straight. Don't know how you folks been here longer have managed it.
