The foggy blue of Shara’s eyes sparkled as if sunlight had just broken through them. “Here? Now?” She threw a hand to her chest in feigned mortification. “Why, I never said it was for public discussion!” Yes, she was entirely teasing and Enai would know that. In fact, Shara was deeply amused by the whole thing. “As I told my husband and daughter, that, especially on the job, what happens on Risa, stays on Risa.” She winked again.

Siadra chuckled softly as she caught a glimpse of a feather boa in Shara’s memory. “I see,” she grinned slightly lopsidedly before letting her gaze wander down the other woman’s body. While that kind of glance could be easily mistaken to be sexual in nature, it wasn’t like that at all. The truth was, Siadra hadn’t look like that at anyone since the death of her wife. “Well, past dancing aside,” she continued with a slight wink, “I’m sure ballet would come fairly easily to you. You certainly have the strength and control over your body required for it.”

“Those two facts might be true, but I’m not so sure I’m the graceful type.” Calloway shrugged. “But you know, it’s one of those things I’ve never tried. I always gravitated towards the musical side of things. My first husband used to say that when I played and got really into it, it was like a form of movement. So maybe you’re both right.”

“You’ll only know if you give it try,” Siadra replied softly, a gentle smile playing across her pale face.

Shara eyed the kick bag. “I don’t suppose you’re the kind to take out your frustrations on something non-living, are you?”

Following Shara’s gaze with her own eyes, Siadra started, “I-” but immediately stopped herself. She had meant to say that Shara’s assumption was correct. But was it really? Instead she said, “To be honest, other than the mandatory self-defence classes at the Academy I have never given it a try. I didn’t enjoy it then. But I know that it can be a very healthy way to allow yourself to feel and express your emotions. So maybe I should give it another try now that no one is forcing me to do so?”

“You teach me ballet and I teach you how the kick bag can be your friend? Best part about it? The bag doesn’t talk back,” Shara said with a grin. There was something unexpected and fun about the idea of them swapping expertise. It wasn’t that Shara liked to get into physical fights. Quite the opposite. But she’d been in enough situations that required her to defend herself, or help defend others that it didn’t faze her the way it had when she was young.

Siadra couldn’t help but laugh good-naturedly. “I never thought I’d learn that, or that someone would offer to teach me. But I like the idea, to be honest. Thank you, Shara,” she replied, thinking that, especially between her new position and there upcoming mission, it would be good for her to be able to defend herself and others better. Plus the added benefit of potentially working through some of her emotions that way. “I should warn you though: I really enjoy teaching ballet and I tend to forget to explain terminology,” she added with a chuckle, her cheeks turning slightly pink. “What shall we start with? Or would a different time work better for you?”
