Harrison loved watching everyone dance and celebrate. The dance and the music reminded him of home. Of the different cultures he learned about and experienced in his travels who all had their own ways of celebrating and playing music. The drums especially reminded him of the ngoma drums of Uganda and the djembe of the Madinka people. If he were to be honest watching all of this was starting to make him homesick and he felt sick at the thought. Kir had been away from her home and her people for one hundred and fifty years and was just now able to celebrate finding a small population of them and here he was having lingering thoughts of home only a couple of days into their trip.

He shook his head. It was okay to miss home. It wasn't like he was planning to return anytime soon. He didn't really have anything to return home to. He felt... No, he knew that he had a much bigger purpose out here in the stars. Earth didn't need him. He could help them more by learning everything he could about outer space and making it a safer place for them to travel to when the time came. He also didn't want to leave Kir's side. He wondered if it was the ritual that made him feel that way or was love at first sight? He never believed in it. He thought that it was only a thing in books or movies, but when he saw her in that government facility he knew that he would do anything for her.

Harrison beamed with joy as they honored and welcomed her before everyone returned to dancing. He felt her touch in his mind before he heard her voice and nodded as he approached the dance floor. He awkwardly positioned himself next to her and began following the steps. He had never done this type of dance before, but as he moved it was like he knew every step he should take. He danced awkwardly at first, but it didn't take long for him to gain his rhythm and flow with the others. He loved this. He loved feeling part of a community and this moment of freedom. He wanted this moment to last for as long as it could because he knew that soon they'd have fewer and fewer moments like this as they fought against the Empire.

Lyris approached Zev and watched the two dance with the others. She looked up at him before turning her attention back to the celebration. "You know, this is almost a marriage ceremony in X'hondrian culture. They could tell they were connected by X'honnar and wanted to honor that for them. You should still join in on the celebration and have some fun while we're here." She waited for his response before gliding across the floor to join in on the dance. She may not have been able to float, but her steps were so light and graceful that for a moment it seemed like she could.
