[And here is Jenny, reading a copy of "Where Do I Come From?"]

....I realized that not everyone came from a machine, but this seems a little ridiculous.


((RIGHT. Jenny's learning about non-mechanical reproduction.))

Mmm, I suppose I shall. This is not the only method of it, but I think it's the best.

It starts with a look, am attraction, the hint of desire. The potential for engagement. Then careful, glancing, chaste in every manner but their intent. A kiss, soft, just lips and lips, gentle until it can't be gentle anymore, until the desire overcomes caution.

And that would be the invitation to the dance.

So there's dancing?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Yes! Can you dance at all, Jenny?

[lotsofrunning.livejournal.com]

I've never tried.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[holds out his hand] You can try. It's a bit like fighting and a bit like love.

[lotsofrunning.livejournal.com]

[Hesitantly takes it]How's that?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It's better to just do.

[and hand on Jenny's waist]

Simply follow.

[and, slowly, so she has a chance to learn the steps, he starts to dance with her]

So this is dancing?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

A type of dance. An informal waltz.

[lotsofrunning.livejournal.com]

There are more types, then, right?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Waltz, foxtrot, tango, tango argentina, folk dances of all kinds, swing, disco, hiphop, interpretive, Sorian foot twister, all sorts, and that's a brief sample.

[lotsofrunning.livejournal.com]

Do you know them all?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I know a fair number of them.

[lotsofrunning.livejournal.com]

Maybe someday you can teach me more.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to. [kisses her cheek]

[lotsofrunning.livejournal.com]

[That? Is weird to her.] I'll look forward to it!

[hair ruffles. NOT JUST AS PLANNED. But maybe it's set-up for evil. HOPEFULLY, ANYWAY.
