It rapidly became clear Alethea enjoyed the music he was playing for her; for he soon heard her humming along.  The way the emerald had danced for her only added to the moment of enjoyment, and he loved her reaction.  When she picked up the tiny emerald from her lap; it was with a look back and forth between him and the emerald she now held...as if to ask was this for her.  He could only nod as words would have only gotten in the way for him to speak to her.  Then, as if all of this had not been enough to keep the warmth between them going; Alethea had reached out with her other hand to touch one of his own.  The way she brushed her fingers against his hand sent shockwaves of pleasure he had no reference for, and he briefly closed his eyes in awe.  She withdrew for just a moment, but then her fingers returned to their tender stroking of his hand, and his smile was pure bliss as he opened his eyes again.  Even after feeling the warmth from her earlier on their way to Tatooine; this seemed just as powerful or more so.  He had no desire for her to stop...none at all.  Alethea was looking at him...appraising his reaction to her touch, but his smile and eyes told her everything she needed to know - even they had not been touching the Force together in that moment.<br/><br/>Suddenly, it seemed as if the distance between them was not nearly as far apart as it once had been moments earlier, and yet...it felt as if all the galaxy lay between them.  To Thal-ion, the latter was unacceptable, and he suddenly stood up.  As he did so, the young Sentinel gently helped her up as well.  Doing so resulted in them being a great deal closer; for he instinctively stepped in closer to her in order to balance helping her up.  He wasn't sure what to do, but he had seen Kam and Tionne dance once to no music at all - though there was music humming to them in the Force.  This idea now came to his mind, and in it he now softly drew Alethea into a dancer's embrace.<br/><br/>The Force flowed over them...through them as it hummed with the life and warmth they both shared.  He let her see how Kam and Tionne had done this once, and slowly began to sway to the music the Force had provided.  For life creates the Force.  It surrounded everything and everyone, and now it was humming from the sheer fire these two Jedi shared for each other...a soft fiery passion neither had a reference for it seemed.  So it was that Thal-ion found himself leading Alethea in their very first dance...though he was doing no more than swaying with her to the music.  It no longer mattered that he was blushing scarlet.  He suspected he would not stop for a while...not while they were dancing like this, and that was okay with him.<br/><br/>And, once more, the rest of the galaxy fell away from him.  There was only her and the Force.  Nothing else...no ship, no troubles ahead, no Queen trying to reach the Senate, no Dark Lord of the Sith trying to take over the galaxy or destroy the Jedi Order...all of it was gone.  All that remained in this perfect moment in Time was her...and the Force.
