Reimi did redden completely at that, ducking her head and reddening completely at Katara's compliments. It was no wonder Matt liked her: she was smart, pretty, and fun to be around. "I guess I spend way too much time in the hangar. I should use the city a little more than I could be. Get out and see more people and all."

"And it's always nice to girl chat with girls my age," added Reimi with a light giggle.

Katara nodded. "Well, there's nothing wrong with working n that ship of yours! I wish I had the ability to do something like that, but I guess I'll be more useful for other things like healing and fighting. But there ARE plenty of places to visit in the City, and again, the Outsiders are always looking for people to hang with, whether you join or not."

She smiled. "Actually, I was sort of thinking of that myself. I don't have a lot of girls my age to talk with, and I'd be happy to see you wherever you are now and hang and gossip."

"I'll definitely come visit more often then," said Reimi. "And then we could also go to my world and I can show you what my Earth is like in the future. Apparently Stacy still has the files on my world and I can load simulations. We could go shopping and do girl stuff in the future. I know SD 772 is beautiful."

Well, BEFORE the attack by the 4D universes' invincible programs.

"Or we could go visit the rustic world of Roak, or the beautiful sight that is Tetragenesis...!" Reimi was growing happy with the prospect of having fun just doing normal things.

Katara smiled. This was exactly what he had wanted to do with Nura, and she figured she would be able to do that with her eventually, but now that she'd be with Querl, she could see that happening a little less. Getting to know Reimi would be just as good though: so far she seemed like a pretty neat girl.

"That sounds great! I actually got to go on and off world mission and got to do all this shopping with Nura, it was one of the most fun times I had! But those other places you mentioned: what are they like? How do they look?"

"They're all beautiful in their own way." said Reimi eagerly. "Roak has open plains and stone-and-brick buildings, very rustic with lots of good people in it. Their food is amazing, and you can see the various races around there."

"Tetragenesis on the other hand is a beautiful ocean-world, where people live above and blow the water, depending on where you go. Their main city of Genesis is built on a spire of waterfalls," added Reimi. "I'm sure you'd love that."

"That sounds like the difference between the Earth nation Kingdom and the Water tribe of my world. Now you definitely have my attention! I know I won't be able to have any lasting food there, not with the limitations of the Sensoriums, but it will definitely be a fun time! I can't wait to try it."

She'd hold her tongue about Tetragenesis of course: it was obvious which the water tribe girl would want to visit first. She couldn't hide the glee on her face though: if there was something one could say about Katara, there was no hiding her feelings about her native element. "And we can go dancing! I haven't done that in such a long time!"

"Oh we could! I know that there's an amazing resort planet in SD 772 that we could visit. It's got the most amazing dance floors," gushed Reimi, delighted at the prospect.

"We could definitely have a lot of fun with that! Or oooh, Tetragenesis's under water dance floors! They use Symbology to generate a air pocket around you and your partner, and you can dance as much as you want like you were swimming!"

"Oh yes, excellent! I actually had a Master that danced so well, you would have loved to see it. She had these fluid movements that looked as if she were dancing with the wind! But dancing like that, in Tetragenesis, that sounds amazing! We totally HAVE to do that!"

As if to demonstrate the dancing, she cleared the spot a moment and quietly tried to recreate the way she had seen Sheeana dance that first day she met her. She knew it wouldn't be anywhere NEAR what Sheeana could do: Sheeana, after all, knew the weirding way, and Katara hadn't even gotten far. But Katara had watched her teacher closely and could mimic the quick movements, the sort of fast seduction in the dance where she pivoted, turned and largely switched from the movement of her hips to the quickness of her feet. This was complimented with her upper body movement, twirling her arms and head in conjunction with the rest of her body.

She danced for three minutes, and when she finally finished off with a flip that ended with a split, she turned to Reimi, breathing hard but smiling.

"What do you think?"

Reimi watched and when Katara was done, she clapped with a brilliant smile. "That was so elegant! I loved watching it!" And it kind of made Reimi's throat go dry, and she gulped down tea to moisten her lips. It was undeniably hot in the way she moved and Reimi couldn't help but think that if she showed her boyfriend that, they'd be rustling in the sheets by now.

"I've never seen anything like it. Do you think you could teach me that?"

Katara smiled. "I've tried hard to get even as good as that was, and its still pales in comparison. Still, if I can learn anything from it, its that dancing is a great way of showing the wonder of music. To do that underwater, that just sounds amazing! I'm really glad you liked it."

Of course, by now she was pretty sweaty, so she couldn't imagine she was a peach right now. "Actually, I think I could use a towel myself," she said. She walked over to her own kind of tea and drank gratefully.

"It's really good!" she said.

"It looks very involved. The full-body movement and everything about it seems like it would take a long time to master," agreed Reimi as she calmed her heart that was racing. Damn, seriously. That was the most intense looking dance she had ever seen.

Reimi wondered briefly if the person who taught it to here had it originate from a seduction technique cause it had a very eye-drawing look to it. "It's a good blend," added Reimi thoughtfully.

"Doing it under water is such a show. I watched one in the sensoriums and it was just beautiful."

"Oh, it did. Even with what I knew about martial arts and bending, it took a lot of teaching and mastering to be able to do what I can now, and even then I'm doing it no justice. But now that I can do it like this, I know that her teaching didn't go to waste."

She noticed, however, that Reimi looked a little put out? "Are you all right? I'm sorry if I got a little too close to breaking something of Nura's. My apologies!"

Yes, Katara is still pretty bad at detecting something like attractive dancing, even with being able to notice most emotions from other people.

"You'll have to show me!" gushed Katara. "Oh, this will be so much fun! I haven't enjoyed myself like this in ages! It...actually makes me forget about what happened earlier today."

Reddening, Reimi hung her head. "Well um... it's just that even though its a dance it um... it makes you look very... seductive when you do that. I mean, I could barely tear my eyes away from your hips."

She bowed low. "Sorry! B-but I think that's what the originators had in mind...!"

She nodded a little at the last bit. "It'll be good to relax for a while."

Reimi swallowed as she ducked her head, reddening hotly. "Well um... that dance. It's very... seductive. The way you moved, I could barely keep my eyes off you."

"Sorry! B-but I think that's what the creators had in mind to be honest..."

She nodded a little more. "The Tetragenesis women are so elegant and mysterious. They have a third eye as well that is said to see into the future, which is why they're known as prophets and seers."

"Oh..OH!" Katara reddened herself, the possibility not even occurring to her that age would bring that out. "Well, I can't exactly say that it wasn't something they overlooked. The Bene Gesserit were actually very sexual in nature, and they knew it. I never thought I'd be able to recreate that, honestly. I'm only fif-"
Well no, now that she thought about it, she was sixteen at this point, right? She guessed she had sort of grown into a pretty vivacious teenager.

"Do I really look that good?"

"Looked zeta-awesome to me," said a voice from the couch.

Anything Reimi would say was cut off as she practically choked on her own tongue. "N-nura! H-how long have you been up?!"

She was going completely red. Ogod what if she actually heard everything or what not? She managed to stammer out, "You... you looked incredible. And it's accented by you looking so exotic too."

"Just about now." Nura sat up on the couch, rubbing at a sleepy eye and letting out a cat-like yawn. "Mmm. I must've fallen asleep in the bath..."

"Exotic? Really?" Katara wasn't faking modesty: she actually did feel genuinely flattered, and to hear that from Nura too, it actually made her feel pretty good about herself. "Thank you, so much! It means a lot, actually."

She looked up at Nura. "Are you all right? I didn't know if we were catching a bug or what. I'm glad you're up. So this is where you live with Querl?"

She smiled. It was good to know Nura was happy again, and instinctively, she took Reimi's hand covertly and squeezed it reassuringly.

"I think I might have been neglecting sleep lately for...other activities." Like pulling Querl into bed for some late-night fun as soon as he got back from the lab. "That's all. It's a bad habit that I badly need to break." She reached up scratch at the back of her neck, feeling a tiny kink from sleeping on it wrong.

She then looked around the room, nodding her head. "Mhmm. It is. But I'm actually looking at this house down in the City, since it has more space."

Reimi blushed a little. "At least you're having fun with that, but it's not good to work out all the time. In that way. You'll wind up stiff and sore in the morning."

She nodded at Katara. "You are very exotic; your hair and eyes, and your skin is naturally tanned which is amazing! I can't tan easily."

Katara blushed a little herself, because at this point (no thanks to Sheeana and Overlord Zetta) she knew exactly what other activities Nura was talking about. Then gain, they were husband and wife, so wasn't that expected?

"Well, make sure you, uh, stretch and everything, before you do that," Katara said, sounding more like a cautious mother here. "You want to be limber for other activities, right?"

She flushed here. "Well, its not something other people in my world don't have, tanning and things. But really, thank you, a girl never minds being told something like that. You know, you're really pretty too. I love your hair and your eyes, they're very beautiful!"

Nura smirked, stretching her arms up and behind her, tilting head from side to side to get the kinks out. "Aha... Don't worry. There's plenty of stretching beforehand and after." Because Querl Dox really knew how to wear her out, and she couldn't believe she'd forgotten that. It was one of the ways he could get her to sleep in if she was eager to get to her next mission, or make her too tired to argue with him. Of course, often it would backfire, with her keeping him there with her.

She turned her head to Reimi, nodding along at Katara's compliments towards Nura's teacher. "She's right, you know. You could tempt any guy on this ship!"

Reimi was beet red now as she ducked her head a little. "Yeah, I suppose you're right you two. I mean, I wear skin-tight armor for a reason other than protection. ... well okay it's mostly for protection. But I guess it wouldn't be too bad to go on a date with someone."

"Or woman," Katara added, remembering the previous conversation, "if they were interested. Actually, should aliens count too? I guess it isn't really accurate to call them that of course, but you know what I mean. And I think you look nice, without the skin tight outfit!"

Which Katara had noticed but modestly averted her eyes from, if only because she wasn't sure what to think about those types of clothes. She'd loosened up thanks to being on the ship, but she was still not sure how one should react.

"A date is always a nice start!"
