(( Holodeck 2 - Masquerade Ball ))

Foster: Ah, but you bring up a new thought, you were thinking, indeed. Now I get to highlight not the light times as contrasted with the darkness, but the starlight times, the pure sparkle, the joy, as contrasted with the light.

His blue eyes glittered with mirth as he spoke.

Rajel: ::Chuckling slightly, she wondered what Georgio would think hearing him talk like that.:: Mhm the sparkle. Once you start looking for it, you can see it everywhere even in the smallest things. Mhm maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to have something like a sparkle collection or gallery. Like a memory lane but on the ship to remember the sparks and not just when we were last attacked or lost someone. 

Foster: I think that, my dear, is a fantastic idea.

Rajel: It could even be more than pictures. Trinkets or souveniers as well. What do you think? 

He thought about that for a while.  He had always collected pictures and he wasn’t sure why. He knew his son, Wyn, collected things. He had a trinket to remember the people he worked with, a trinket for family, he liked to be able to touch and hold things. Cade had never tried collecting anything like that.

He wasn’t opposed to it.

Foster: I have never tried it – never even thought about it. But I’m not against trying it!

He spun her slowly, carefully, gracefully. Once again the stage lights caight her dress with a scintillating effect.

Rajel: I think it would be worth thinking about, I'm sure we do have places on the ship where we can do something like that. However that does not mean you get around a picture with me. ::She grins at Cade.:: And I want a copy of course. 

He stopped and held her close as the music slowed for a moment.

Foster: Of course!  Your request is granted my lovely lady!  As soon as we get said picture. :As the music picked up they fanned out in a flourish and he gave her a curious glance.:: But what will you do with said picture?

She laughed, a beautiful sound, and he twirled her once again for the fun of it.

Rajel: I like to look at a friendly face in the morning, and the picture in your file is an older one and quite impersonal. 

Foster: Oh, I see!  Then I shall have to choose a good one.  One with a good smile.

They floated around the dance floor for a bit longer before finally coming to a close.  He squeezed her hand gently before releasing it and she gave him a perfect curtsey.

Rajel: Thank you, my dear. Maybe if you are not danced out later we can take another spin. 

Foster: I shall save some energy!  But I must let the others dance with you and mingle with my lovely crew!

Rajel: To quote a great man, you will always be first on my dance card.

Foster: And you are at the top of mine.

His eyes twinkled once again and he offered her a bow before taking a step back and letting newcomers step forward. Cade headed back to the audience area to get a refreshment and start up a new conversation.

Lovely scene, thank you!  I will cut tags here since we’re headed into the mission
