Tre'Maya smiled at Thane's big red eyes and she saw how uncomfortable he was. She rose very slowly, and smoothed out her skirts, smiling to him and getting very close to his huge ear. I will try to make this as comfortable for you as it is for me.
"That old black magic has me in its spell That old black magic that you weave so well I've got those icy, icy fingers up and down my spine The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine That same old tingle I feel inside
And then that elevator starts its ride And down and down I go, all around I go Like a leaf that's caught in a tide..."
Tre'Maya smiled again, hearing the words to the first few verses and put a hand in Thane's big furry mitt and made him straighten to his full height before asking. Shall we dance?
The professor flitted up to Ciel and tapped her on the shoulder. Milady Ciel? May I have the honor of this dance?

Thane swallows hard before he stands tall. As Tre'Maya takes his hand his heart skips a beat. When she proposes to dance he is compelled to hold her closely as possible. He only nods and before he knew it they were walking to the dance floor hand in hand. Thane's only thought is not to wet the carpet.
Karl sheds a sly smile as he watches, "Lets get closer to hear their conversation!" He says to Karen with a wink and a grin. "Shall we show these demons how we humans know how to cut a rug?"

Karen nods to Karl. "Sure thing hot stuff. Just not too close, Thane'll catch on and we'll get it for sure!" She giggled and replied, "Now, let's dance my man! I love Sammy Davis Jr..."
The girls that Morgan was twirling about were all a-giggle and a-twitter as he danced them silly.
Ciel smiled as she saw Professor Vetli fluttering there and nodded. "Certainly sir. I would love to dance with you." She took his little hands and held him to her, smiling as she began to sway with him.

Tre'Maya smiled and walked softly alongside her former pupil, hand comfortably in his huge mitt. As they reached the dance area, she turned to him and put her left hand on his shoulders and gave him her right at a comfortable height for her, and she began to sway to the rhythm of the song.
I should stay away but what can I do I hear your name, and I'm aflame A flame with such a burning desire That only your kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss Kiss can put out that fire
You're the lover I have for Your the mate that fate had me created for And every time your lips meet mine Darling, down and down I go Round and round I go Like a leaf that's caught in a tide
Looking up at him, Tre'Maya's smile got even softer. I see that you have done well for yourself Thane. I always knew that you would rise above what was expected of you, because you always have. Have you been well all of these years? I have missed you running around the halls at my feet since you have been away.
Professor Vetli, meanwhile, was enjoying his dance with Ciel just fine. He smiled as she held him close to her lithe body. Thank you Lady Ciel. This is rather fun!

Thane's body simply won't cooperate with him as he attempts the dance. his mind is filled with conflicting joy and terror as Tre'Maya moves fluidly in his limp arms. He tries to speak but his voice isn't there. "I... I ha... have? Ahh... I do what I... I can..." He is lost again. He can't help but to breath her in her soft scent and it has him hexed. "I mean to get back... to the lib... library, and follow up... I just never have... can make... the time..." He says with a half smile toying with his lips. "The promotion... my new duties... keep me... away... busy, playing peace-keeper." He struggles as he is overpowered by his desire for her. All he can think of is how badly he wants her and how he wishes to be washed away in proclamation of his undying love for her. His arms come to life as he squeezes her closer into him so their bodies actually touch briefly and his eyes close from the pleasure of it, lost to the moment.

Regent is having a ball as he swoons the ladies who close in around him. His limber form writhing in time with the music and the girls as he dances. His eyes stray to Thane and he laughs under his breath at the hound being stiff and soldierly even during his off duty. "Relax Elite, this in not the board of inquiry, or a court marshal. Simply a gathering of friends enjoying each others company." He says with a sly grin as he plays with the raven girls hair.

Tre'Maya holds to him and allows him to move as he chooses, all the while trying to contain her smile. Directing it at Thane, she tries to soothe him into being able to speak.
Yes. You have done well. Your mother would be even more proud of you than she already was. And as for coming back to the library, you are always welcome. I promise you, I can make time for you when you decide to come calling. Her smile became more of a desirous one and less of a former teacher's.
The song changed as he drew her near. It flowed into Nancy Wilson's "Teach Me Tonight."
Did you say I've got a lot to learn, Well don't think I'm trying not to learn Since this is the perfect spot to learn, teach me tonight Starting with the ABC of it, Getting right down to the XYZ of it Help me solve the mystery of it, come on, teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you, And if a shooting star goes by I'll use that star to write "I love you", A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love, Should the teacher stand so near my love Graduation's almost here my love, you'd better teach me tonight
She leaned into Thane's huge, muscled body and softly began to sing the words to him.

Karen leaned into Karl and smiled. "I think our big lovebird might be relaxing...at least he hasn't hurt himself yet. Mmm, I love this song."
Ciel held the professor close and smiled as his wings flitted. "You are a wonderful dancer professor. Wherever did you learn?"

As many stories throughout history is fond of relating, is that music calms the savage beast. With each chord Tre'Maya coos into Thane's ears he becomes more relaxed and less nervous. Her beautiful voice echoes deeply within him. Her sway and her touch all sear into his bones, Thane opens his eyes to see her singing to him and his heart is about to burst from the desire it struggles to contain. He begins to hum softly with her as his deep voice rumbles within him making his chest resonate with the vibrations.
Karl hides his snickers in Karen's hair as they dance. "Well, one thing is for certain, he looks like he is finally enjoying things for the moment." he whispers. "Good choice in music, romantic and soft. Romantic as it is, I can't help but wonder if Thane even hears it by the look on his face."

Karen giggles into Karl's shoulder. "Sure does. Kinda makes me miss my man right now...he's a hopeless dancer, unless the song is slow." As they dance, Karen stays close. "I chose what makes me feel romantic. And I agree, he's probably in... well, I won't say it. A grand euphoria would be better."

Tre'Maya smiled as she continued the song to its end and Thane hummed along with her. The song changed to Dean Martin's "I'll Always Love You." and Tre'Maya never missed a beat. She only stopped singing for a bit to speak into Thane's gigantic ear.
I am very pleased that I came to this party Thane. I was considering not joining all of you, but I must say that I do not regret my decision at all. I have truly missed you all of these years, my dear.
Day after day I'll always love you Which is to say I'll always love you Dear one, your nearness is my treasure Dear one, your kiss is rich as wine And it's mine, yes it's mine the wonder of you Yours, love is yours, because I love you To you I give my heart so madly madly beating With every beat repeating I'll always love you so
And it's mine, yes it's mine the wonder of you Yours, love is yours, because I love you To you I give my heart so madly madly beating With every beat repeating I'll always love you so
The Professor smiled up at Ciel. As are you my dear. I learned quite a few things in my time. Who has taught you to dance so fluidly?

Karl twirls Karen through the songs, drifting close to Thane and Tre'Maya and drifting away so not to rouse suspicion. His eyes watch their interactions and he is filled with excitement. "That is something I thought I'd never see." He says to Karen, "Thane enjoying a party." He twirls her to a dip at the end of the song huffing and puffing from the dancing. "Whew... That is fun. Can we take a breather for a moment?" He asks with a smile as he rites her up smoothly. "I'd fancy some more of your tasty grog."
Thane is lost in Tre'Maya's words and trapped in her embrace like a happy bird in a golden cage. As the song comes to a close he is still holding her close to him and resists letting her go. His eyes begin to burn, this time from passion as he replies to her. "I am pleased to speak with you again mistress, I believe the party was in ill favor before you arrived. I fail to see though, how my absence, has sparked your longing to see me?" Thane shuffles his steps looking like he is saying to much. "The other children you teach are just as capable as I doing the daily chores around the library..."

Karen chuckles and smiles. "Me either. Thane's actually having a good time. I'll be." She looked at Karl as he dipped her then requested a break. "Sure thing, hot stuff. More Grog it is."
She snapped her fingers and Arina was there in a second, smiling. "Get this fine gentleman another." As she seemed to disappear, Karen turned back to Karl. "You think she's diggin' on him too? Looks like she's pretty into it ."
Ciel giggled a little and looked down at Professor Vetli. "I have moved this way ever since I was a kitten, Professor. No one has had need to teach me. Though I do so like learning things."

Tre'Maya's eyes shined with happiness as she nodded. There are many things that I have taught you. However, now that you are older and more experienced, I believe that there are many more things that you could learn from me, if you so choose.
She laughed a bit and put her forehead on (or close to) Thane's shoulder. If you think that the other children worked as well as you did, I can only say that perchance there were one or two who did. But that is not what sparked my longing, as you have so said. What sparked my longing to see you, my dear, was simply you. The phrase, I believe is 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' is it not? I have missed you Thane. Not your work.
She looked up at him and smiled.
The Professor smiled at Ciel as the song ended. I have always admired talent, my girl. And I must say, you are quite the talented one.
Pausing to wipe his spectacles on a handkerchief, Vetli's little ears perked up and he looked at Ciel again. You like learning, you say? Which subject is your favorite?

Regent laughs as he dances about with the pretty girls. As the song closes, he overhears the professor and Ciel speaking. He is keenly interested in hearing more and he makes his way to them. "Forgive my intrusion schoolmaster... I wanted to affirm your notions of this talented, lively and beautiful maiden that is Ciel. She has caught my eye and I believe her to make an excellent liaison between the public and my office. As your keen and learned mind has asertained... I sense her to possess great potential and I have appointed her to be my aid in public affairs. He takes Ciel's hand and gives it a light hand shake and a gentlemanly kiss." "Though she may require some tutelage to harness her gifts, in time I believe they will prove to be priceless tools in her capable hands to help shape our glorious future." he says with a wink and a warm smile to Ciel.

Thane's eyes move to meet Tre'Maya's with a look of wonder. "M'Lady? I... don't know what to say... I... more to learn? His bewilderment sends him back a few steps, "I suppose no one ever stops learning... Yet, what more have you to teach a... a battle hardened soldier like me?" Thane's brows are high with the look of doubt spreading across his face. His eyes drink her in as his ears can't believe what they are hearing. "You miss ME?" Thane looks lost for words. "I.. I have missed you as well... mistress. A fond... familiarity... that has gone unkendled for so long and yet it is an ember that has never turned... cold."

Ciel smiled widely at the Professor's compliments. Curtsying carefully, she nodded. "Why thank you Professor." At his second question, she looked confused. "Subjects, Master Vetli? The only subject I have taken up since my Queen took me in has been letters and recognizing them. However, I did so like learning them. And Lady Tre'Maya's wondrous scroll also aided me in learning everything about reading that I wished to know. I have no doubt that the writing scroll will do the same for me."
When Regent sauntered over and spoke those beautiful words of her and kissed her hand, Ciel almost blushed. "Thank you Chancellor."

As Regent makes his way over to them, Professor Vetli bowed deeply from the waist. Chancellor. As he came up from the bow, he pulled out a pipe and lit it, listening. I can wholeheartedly agree with you there Chancellor. This young beauty here speaks better than any pupil that I have had under my tutelage , and she is an excellent dancer, as we have seen. As a liaison, she will be wonderful. I have no doubt that she will do her best at the job you have assigned her.
And yes, no doubt it will take some tutelage. But as she has said herself, she likes to learn. Were you wishing to teach her yourself Chancellor, or were you looking to acquire some help for her?
Tre'Maya chuckled and shook her head softly as he stumbled back. Always the inquisitive one.
She put a gorgeous hand up to caress his face as she spoke. There is much more that I can teach you Thane. There are subjects in which I know for fact that you are as unskilled in as a babe in spring. I would be more than happy to teach you. That is, if you are willing to learn.
Holding her head as high as she could to look into his eyes,and hand still caressing his face, she spoke again, but only loud enough for Thane's ears. Yes, Thane. I have missed you. Do not think that I am blind. Your ember has not gone unnoticed. Did you not think that I would notice every time that you stumbled while carrying a load of firewood to my fireplaces because your eyes would hardly have the strength to leave my face?
Did you not think that I would notice how you would always edge the tiniest bit closer to me when I was teaching you something very important? And even as you got older, I knew that it pained you to leave my halls when you were appointed to a higher station and suddenly had no free time. However, I knew that I would see you again when you were older.
And the day you stepped in with our lovely devilcat there, I was very pleased to see you. I saw that you had grown into a great, massive soldier. All I could really think of is how very proud Ja'Lall would be to see that her son had attained the very high goals that he had set for himself. You have made me proud ever since you stepped out of my doors to accept your promotion , and from the looks of things, you are not likely to stop making me proud of you. I have grown very fond of you Thane. And I hope that you can come to see me much more often, if only once a week.
And, she paused here for a second, leaning his face down and placing a soft kiss on his cheek, I can only hope that you will come with a renewed purpose.

Thane swallows hard as Tre'Maya calls his crush. He goes very quiet as she pecks him on the cheek. "I would like that..." Thane whispers. "Very much..."
Karl looks to Karen, "They are very handy." He says of the girls under Karen's command. "So hows things on the home front?" Karl says with a shy smile. "You mentioned something of a new post, is that agreeing with you?" he says waiting for the girl to return with the grog.

Regent looks pleased with Ciel and her gracious attitude. "You are welcome my dear. He says with a wicked smile. "Yes Professor I plan to tutor her myself at first, but I must speak to your mistress about the rest of her education... He says coyly. "Please excuse me, I would leave you to your pleasant conversations." he says with a slight bow and he wanders off toward Thane and Tre'Maya.
"Fine eve Duchess... Elite, You both look like you are enjoying the festivities tonight." He says with a smile. "Do excuse me Thane, but I am in need of speaking privately with your beauteous dance partner of a few pressing professional matters?" he says holding his hand gentlemanly for Tre'Maya in invitation to walk and talk privately.
