As the music played, Cassie sat in one of the near by chairs, listening to the music, lost in her own thoughts. She had, after a little while, closed her eyes, picturing back to her parents when she had been young. How they would sit in the living room, and her mother would essentially pull her father to his feet and laughing the two would dance around. Sometimes her father would even pull Cassie herself up and set her on his feet, having a father daughter dance with her. Those memories were some of her most cherished. She wondered if she would get to show those memories to Serix if their mental connection ever got stronger when they linked telepathically.


**“Dance with me,”** Cassie opened up her eyes, looking up at Serix a little wide eyed when she heard those words leave his map. Her cheeks redden to a rosy color and there was no hiding it this time. She was still trying to wrap her head around him asking her that and even he himself was bashful, not meeting her gaze as he spoke again, ** “The style is a little different than what I’m used to, but I can cope. So… will you dance with me?”** What was she supposed to say to that? It left her heart pounding and her hands trembling, but this time it wasn't from her thoughts of being in that room. It was from the thought of being so close to him and dancing with him. 

"I-I..." Now it was her turn to stammer and be flustered. Her nervousness was very prominent. She didn't really know how to dance. Other than those few ties of her dancing with her father as a little girl, she had never danced with anymore before, nor had she learned how to do so. Wouldn't it be better to say no and not embarrass herself in her stumbling about than to say yes and trip over herself as well as step all over her feet? Maybe. So, when he said that, her cheeks still red she shook her head, holding up her hands, "N-no. I don't really know how to dance. I'd just step all over you and make a fool of myself." 

Yet, next thing she knew, she was being pulled to her feet from her seat, her eyes wide and her face growing redder, "Serix! What are you doing?"
