“I usually dance when I want physical activity. That or invite some guy to wrestle but thats a pretext and I shouldn’t have brought it up.”, she replied looking at the gym equipment like she hadn’t seen most of it before and had no clue what to do with it.

Drudoc nodded a bit, “..What sort of dance is it you prefer or form of wrestling?” She inquired while considering the open floor area at the earlier answer, returning to look at Ranlei again then.

Ranlei bit her lip, ” Depends on the audience and the venue Mam. As a child of course they noted that my people are famous for singing and dancing. They however steered me into classical highbrow styles. It’s a good foundation but of rather formalized and ritualistic. So I gravitated to free form expressionism. That got me kicked out of structured instruction as my dancing was far to lewd and suggestive for the colony. So I focused on my singing from there on out. Still danced at the spaceport to earn credits to pay for holo suite time to continue exploring my personal interests in dance. By that point I had to be self sufficient as the foster system wrote me off as a lost cause.”, Ranlei smiled and shrugged. “More information then you wanted Ma’am sorry but it ties into my current nightmares.”

Drudoc moved to the open floor mat, starting to do some stretches as she listened to Ranlei speak. “..Nothing wrong with free forms of expression. Often their form of style can lead to changes in more classical lines of thought and performances..” She commented.

At her comment to singing Drudoc nodded a bit again, “..What form of singing do you take after?” She inquired.

After Ranlei’s reply Drudoc finished her stretching, moving into some various poses which were similar to Terran yoga but obviously had a slow-mo fighting grace to them. Probably something from the Romulan culture. She gestured for Ranlei to join her if she wanted. “..Why don’t you try to relax, do something that helps take your mind off things while we talk some.” She suggested. This was followed up then with, “..This is the 2nd time you have mentioned nightmares. What is it that is troubling you?” She asked.

Ranlei took off the gauzy Translucient pearlesqe outer garment and joined the Captain on the mat a fur lined bikini probably wasn’t optimal exercise clothing but itvwas less delicate than the outerwear, After watching the moves she joined in. “Depends of the venue, the audiance and the mood I am in. What I want to get from the performance and what the listeners expect Mam. I was rather self centered as a child. The Lutheran ladys auxilery was not prepared for Swan lake danced naked. I may of been rebelling over some of the comments I overheard them make. Best dancer in the troupe she’d have a future if she wasn’t. Well some words you don’t use in your captains company.”, and she looked at the ceiling, “I had very few conections with the real or the other fostered kids growing up. But one real treated me like her actual sister. For a time. The nightmare is about her. But it’s nothing I understand or can believe. But it keeps waking me. Tearing me apart. Dreams are supposed to have meanings. But it’s gibberish. Ultimately I wake up with a sentence said so clearly I swear I hear it. What else is she good for?
