Alex bent down and said “I’m not lying when I say it’s heavy. I actually had Operations beam the damn thing in here.” and he chuckled. “Ok. One… two… three!!” and he shoved the table towards the bedroom door.

Faye tightened all her core muscles, hunkering down to gain some space to actually get some leverage on the damn thing. Her goal wasn’t to actually lift it, but to allow it to slide backwards. Mindful of her feet so it didn’t crush her toes, they managed to shimmy it back. “Thank goodness for Starfleet PT and my yoga. A good way to give yourself a hernia,” she said dryly, moving back to the dining table.

“Yeah. If I had the choice, I’d fire the blasted thing out of a torpedo tube.” and he laughed. ‘But I can’t. It just ties the whole room together, you know?”

Tipping back the last of her wine, the stone rattled in the bottom of the glass. “You know I’m still analyzing this thing as much as I can without a scanner, right?” Faye said with a cheeky grin.

“Bring one next time. You can scan it all you want. The Academy did… it broke their scanner.”

Moving into the open space with a swagger in her hips, Faye felt light. “Okay, so where are we starting? You taught me the rock step last time we did dinner and I have watched some stuff but haven’t done any research. So all yours, Skip.”

Alex paused and said =/\= Computer. Play song list ‘Faye’s Dance Lessons’. =/\= There was a chirp followed by a pause. A few seconds later, music came forth. It was lively, but with a medium temp and beat. It started with a drum beat, but soon was joined by a full brass section.

The lively music made her break into a wide smile. While not the sort of thing she listened to on a regular basis, her eclectic music taste meant she appreciated just about everything.

“So first is the basic dance steps. We add flourishes later.” and he held up one and one out, inviting her into him to begin.

Faye stepped in and met his upright hand with her hand, and draped her arm on his with her hand towards his shoulder. Holding her upper body firmly, she relaxed her hips so she could move fluidly as he led her. Clearly she had done this before. “Basic is fine. I learn fast, so go as you will.”
