He would let the arm wrapped around her rub down her back, being careful to avoid where she warned him that some 'hardware' was at. With his other hand, he would gently stroke her cheek.
"I'm looking forward to seeing that happen.
It's been a long time for me to feel relaxed and having peace-of-mind like this... It admittedly feels good."

"It feels good for me as well to have that same feeling with you. One in which I though I lost for good when loosing the person my parents picked out for me. Perhaps, we were stationed on the same ship just for this purpose."
She smiled as he held her and rubed her cheak and back with his hands. His touch was very calming to her. The storm of emotions in her mind were no longer a problem. She could think clearly for the first time in a long while.
"To give each other back apart of each other that we thought was lost but with time can be brought back."

He smiles at that sentiment, as he felt the same way.
"I'm sure that those feelings can be restored for both of us. I look forward to it."
Something that he hasn't done in a long time, he turns his head slightly and lightly kisses her forehead, right near the hairline.

She did something that she hadn't done in a long while, and let him kiss her forehead. That made her lean even more into him and smile deepen on her face.
"Is that kiss your way of saying that you would like to spend more time togeather off duty? Because if it is then I would have to say I would like that very much."

He would nod slowly and confirm her guess with another kiss to the same spot on her forehead.

She took his hand in her's and then reached up to kiss him on the cheek. "I didn't want to be rude and not kiss you back with you kissing me and all. The man, in my culture, tells the women how he is feeling through his actions and she follows his lead. Hopefuly I'm following your lead properly, and not oversteping myself."

He couldn't help but smile at her response, and he realized he was learning more about her culture as well.
"It's hard to not know what I'm thinking, especially when one knows me well. So far, you're right on track."

"That's good I'm pleased. I should be heading back to my quarters since the hour is getting late and I do not want to impose on you." She smiled at him and sighed, "But I'm torn because I'm very comfortable right now where I am at."

He would look again at her with a laugh, understanding the sentiment fully.
"Well, I'll leave that one up to you. But admittedly, I'm pretty comfortable here, too."
Try as he might, he could not hold back another chuckle.

"Then if you are comfortable here I will stay and not disapoint you by leaving."
She smiled and a small giggle escapted her after she spoke. His laughter was very contagious to her and very much appresated. Letting her know that he was just as nervous as she was about moving too fast or slow for the other person.

"You're welcome to stay the night if you want to."
He would lightly stroke her cheek again and then speak softly.
"I will say this outright, though. I am very interested in what you think on matters. Heaven knows I'm not perfect, nor will I claim to be. I want you to be happy here."

She smiled and put back on the back brace her back was hurting her to be out of it.
"I am far from perfict but you will hear my voice on things when it is nessary. I want you to be happy as well with me. It is tradition for the women in the relationship to honor her man by pleasing him when he's home the way he wants to be pleased."
She smiled at him and then looked at the floor.
"It is also tradition not to talk much, but you wish me to be open with you so talking is a nessary in this relationship."
She then looked back at him.
"I wish to honor you and spend the night with you. So that your dreams are filled with happyness, and should you dream bad ones you'll have someone to talk to about them or just be with you."

He would think very carefully on her response, before responding, and helping her see his view on relationships.
"I understand, and I'm more than willing to let you spend the night, for that reason.
Let me see if I can better explain how I feel about a relationship... A department head is always open to input from those in his or her department, right? He or she doesn't just arbitrarily decide what the whole department does. It's a team effort. And quite often, that input influences decisions that are made and what happens next with a given task.
As such, I'm interested in what you think, and it will be a factor in deciding things that affect you and me."

She turned to face him as the brace prevented twisting motions and smiled, "I understand how you feel about building a relationship. I will do my best to be open to you about how I'm feeling every step of the way. I too wish to grow closer to you and for you to share your thoughts with me and your feelings." She held onto her hand with her's. "I say we take one days journy at a time so we do not overwhelm one another with thoughts of what could be. So to enjoy the suttle blooming and fregrance of the lotise flower and not be distracted to move too swiftly." She put her other hand on the side of his face along his jawline and deepened her smile hoping he would understand.

He would nod slowly at what she said, thinking deeply on the meaning. True, he was worried if he might've been moving fast, as he did feel lonely. In the back of his mind, a Yellow Alert was going off as to how fast to move, so as to not create any problems. He fully realized the caution that she was referring to, even though he was not familiar with the lotus flower.
However, to reassure her, he would reciprocate with his other hand, gently tracing along her cheek with almost a feathery touch.
"'One day's journey at a time'." he repeated, proving his agreement.
