Hannah grinned and decided to attempt a spin, and it wasn’t nearly as eligant as Cori, but she didn’t fall. She had good balance. After a few she attempted to spin like Cori, with one leg held out for counter balance, over compensated, lost her balance and fell. She laughed, got up and started again. Honestly this is fun, but I don’t think I have a lot of talent for it.

While initially alarmed when the other woman fell over, Hannah’s laugh reassured Cori she was alright. She stopped and signed back, No one is measuring anything. There is no metric you are being held to. This is about you learning to be comfortable with your own body and how far you can push it. It’s no different to rock climbing but in this case the struggle is with your own expectations. What you think you should look like, or move like. I did years of dance training, Hannah, so my skills are going to be different. But I can have all the ability in the galaxy and that doesn’t mean I will enjoy it. You seem to enjoy dancing and that is honestly the only thing that matters. All I’m going to do is show you how you can find your own way through it. If at some point you want to learn a particular style, that’s an entirely different venture and one the holodeck is great for.

I’m not measuring, Hannah signed with a smile. There are things I’m good at and things I’m bad at. I enjoy them all. She began an almost sticcato type sway from side to side, stomping out a rhythm with the bass guitar with her feet, her swaying with the drums. Of course Hannah only felt it as vibrations and not different instruments. As the rhythm continued her swaying turned into turns and twists as she moved around the room rather than staying in one spot. At some point she doubled her movements to the rhythm. After a while she stopped having worked up a slight sweat and was thirsty. She called a pause to the music and replaced her implants. She grabbed a water, and started to ask Cori if she wanted one. She knew Cori didn’t need it, but she offered it anyway. She would offer any friend the drink and Cori was her friend, so she would offer even if she didn’t drink it. “That was fun. Thank you Cori.”

Dalton waved off the offer of water but smiled at the same time. “You’re welcome. It was nice to spend time on the holodeck, well, not by myself,” she said with a smirk. “I’d say we should go dancing at a club sometime, but it would have to be on the holodeck again, because the Saracen just apparently isn’t a club hot spot,” she deadpanned.

Hannah grinned, “Yes! We should do that. Maybe add it to the social calendar for the ship. A good old fashioned club, would be amazing.” The way people acted when in such a social setting always fascinated her. Maybe, because on Catawba, they didn’t have clubs or social businesses like that. She’d been introduced at the Academy. She went, she loved the lights and the bass, though she usually took off her implants because all the noise tended to make them lag. At the time they had been much older models and all the auditory input had made them a bit glitchy, but she enjoyed going and watching, anyway.

Dalton considered this for some time and eventually nodded. “You know, maybe we should do just that.” She inhaled a nonexistent breath and sighed slightly. “It’s still weird being around the crew. Well, more than the one-on-one I usually am. Maybe a club setting would make it easier. Less mingling and more just being around people’s presence and getting used to each other.”
