Athena was surprised as the beautiful young woman picked up her glass of ouzo, the drink that Cora had compared to nail polish, and finished the remainder of her glass in one swallow.  Still mildly perplexed, the goddess watched the girl take a deep breath, stand up and approach her, and held out her hand.  "W-would... you care to dance?" asked Cora.<br/>
<br/>
Athena gave Cora a big smile and answered, "I would love to dance with you, Cora".  The clever girl had found a way to be bold when the goddess herself was hesitant.  This raised Athena's already high impression of Cora and made the goddess feel flattered that there was someone that wanted to dance with her and could find the courage to ask.  She placed her hand in Cora's hand and allowed the mortal to lead her to the dance floor.  She could feel Cora's pulse and excitement through the touching of her hand.  Athena was also feeling excited.  At this minute, there was no place on the world that she would rather be.<br/>
<br/>
Softly, but with enough volume so that Cora could hear her Athena asked, "Do you wish to take the lead, since you asked, or would you be more comfortable if I led?"  It didn't matter to Athena, but it would be interesting to see how much more bold Cora could be.  But then she quickly decided that she shouldn't put Cora on the spot, so she added, "Whichever way you prefer."<br/>
<br/>
Athena smiled sweetly at Cora and this time did not hesitate to reach forward with her hand, brush a little of the girl's hair aside and lightly caress her cheek.</span>
