Raven nodded.

--

So Nic quickly found some Salsa music and started playing it on his pad.

Wolfe nodded back, "Then let's leave, Raven," he replied before looking at Rosen, "Give Nic a break for now," he ordered which started a whole 'nother round of complaining. Wolfe walked out.

--

Laurel remained seated, just watching Nic.

Raven followed after Wolfe obediently.

--

So Nic gently got Laurel up and took the lead as he started to do what Laurel had taught him last night. He mirrored the moves almost too perfectly. He really did seem to be a genius.

Wolfe started off down the hall then turned, like he didn't expect Raven to be following him, "Go find Yue," he repeated a little confused.

--

Laurel allowed herself to relax a bit as Nic led. She moved in a little closer, "You're... amazing," she breathed.

Raven nodded, turning toward Yue's room and walking off.

--

Nic didn't say anything as he focused on the dancing. Like with the ballroom, he was still lacking the emotional connection.

Laurel paused for a moment, "... Don't you feel how I close I am?" she whispered.

Nic blinked, not sure what Laurel meant by that. "... Yes," he replied.

"It's not... about the moves," she tried to explain, "it's... the connection you feel with your partner."

That really seemed to confuse Nic.

"Doesn't it feel good... to move like this?" Laurel whispered before kissing his neck.

"... Yes," Nic replied, even though the correlation between emotion and dance was still clearly lost to him.

Laurel sighed a little, giving up as she continued to dance close to him.

So Nic kept dancing with Laurel. He tried to understand what Laurel meant, but he didn't appear to be making any progress.

Laurel watched him puzzle over it for moment before smiling a little, "Dancing... is a form of flirting," she tried again, "You can say 'I love you,' and 'I want you' all with movements."

Nic gave Laurel a glance like he didn't believe her.

Laurel giggled a little before executing a particular difficult but very alluring set of movements. The way she moved around Nic's body screamed that she wanted him.
