" A friend of yours...?" she asks teasingly. She have noticed, that he wanted to avoid talking about that friend of his. She enjoys getting him into inconvenient situations, as it polishes her sadist nature.
"Eh. House wifes. Nothing I'd ever want to be. Boring." she comments, and takes a rice ball to her plate, then sips a bit from her wine.
" You don't understand?" she laughs softly. " Nor do I" she winks at him with a cheeky smile. " Why navy officers? I can't resist the temptation of the forbidden fruit, I'd say. Why you? Well....why not? I didn't kill you, you didn't kill me, it's a good start in my opinion. And maybe your positive attitude to me... Yes, that's also something." she explains, scanning his expression meanwhile.
" Don't avoid my questions....or my attitude towards you might change.... And I think you wouldn't want that..." She grins. "So....a friend of yours?" she smiles with a slightly sadist smile.
"Sure, I'd like." she replies right away. "Apart from my request...What made you come here?" She asks him. She seems to be bored, after not getting any interesting questions from him.
Henderson being really nervous about her reaction, he frowns instictively in sub-conscience, as he quickly smiles; Well, it was just a visitor from the gallic resistance, seeking asylum in liberty.. And, she gave it to me as a souvenir from gallia. That's pretty much it.
Beside your request? Well I never feared embracing things I don't understand, so I just wanted to get to know you better, or to understand you, so to say."
He looks at her for a couple of seconds smiling, followed by a wink. He takes a sipon his wine, as he continues eating.
"If your heart is filled with faith, then you can't fear."
" So, she is just a visitor... I thought you two have some kind of relationship." As Henderson countered most of her questions, she didn't really feel like asking more. She sips a bit from the wine, and gets up from the table, slowly walking towards him.
" You came here to make experiments on me?" she whispers to him, as she got behind him. " I'll let you do so, as long as I enjoy what you do." she puts her hands on his shoulders, kneading them gently.
" Maybe some dancing would make things more interesting..." she laughs softly. " Though no navy officer managed to impress me with their dancing skills... So you should do your best.... Or I reconsider cuffing you to the bed, and torturing you" she laughs maniacally, without doubt, she'd enjoy that.
Relieved, he tries to clarify her; "well, its just complicated."
"Experiments?" He says in a joking tone. "Save that for the egg heads.." He laughed."I'm here just for you"
He stands up too, puts his arms on her waist, and pulls her close, while holding her tight, gently asking her; "Teach me to dance" As he pauses for a second -"Will you?...they didn't teach it at the academy He smiles.
"If your heart is filled with faith, then you can't fear."
"It's complicated? I'd like to hear more then." She laughs softly. " You thought you could get away with it that easily?" She slips out of his hands. " I'll teach you to dance....but not here..." she grabs his hands, and takes him to a room, which is empty. The floor is decorated with red and black tiles, and there are loudspeakers on the wall, playing a slow, but catchy tune.
"So, you don't even not the basics?" she smiles, and shows him the basic steps. " Waltz. Easy, it is. And as you practice, you can tell me everything about that gallic lady, and the relationship of yours" she smiles sadistically, and puts her arm on his back.
Again, he lets her lead him, acting as if he was almost weightless. It takes a moment for him to get around with the looks of the room, having a confused look on his face.
"So err... right-left-right.. Right?"
Henderson is very nervous, as he gently holds her hand and puts his arm on her waist, almost letting out cold sweat. As they begin dancing, he is looking down, still with that counfused look of his, avoiding stepping in her feet, then he answer her;
"Well uhm.. we had a little of affection or attraction, so to say, towards each other, but that's all.. nothing serious.."
"If your heart is filled with faith, then you can't fear."
" You are doing great. It's impressive how fast you learn." She dances with him for a few more minutes, then she suddenly stops. She pulls him close. " How could I make you feel relaxed?" She asks in a relaxed tone, while her hands rest on his shoulders. " Are you afraid of stepping on my feet? Or... rather afraid of the punishment I'd give?" She looks into his eyes.
" And? You did nothing? That's boring. Or you were too shy to act?" She keeps teasing him, asking questions repeatedly.
" It's fun to play with you... Your face tells everything. I can read from your expressions." She shows a cheeky grin, then moves closer and gives a short kiss on his cheeks, just to see his reaction.
Henderson, takes a deep breath trying to relax. "Well i wouldn't like to find out." He laughs.
Looking calm, he tells her. "well..she's visiting again..so new chance maybe?" as he smiles, while still looking down.
While he slightly blushes, he tries not to give himself. "People tell me that a lot, sometimes i even notice it by myself" He laughs, as he raises his head, following the music's rhythm, staring into her face, looking at his reflection on her eyes.
"right-left-right..right-left-right" -He murmurs in a low voice to himself, slightly looking down again, as her breasts got his attention for a moment. -" Kid's stuff!" He shouts in enthusiasm, as he holds her tight, lifting her one foot above the ground, spining in a circle then gently putting her down and bending over her; "Quite impressive, right?" As he accidently steps on her foot, while still holding her, getting her back up. At that moment he was looking dazed, as if the celing had dropped on his head.
"If your heart is filled with faith, then you can't fear."
