Dancing with a beautiful woman was one way to release energy. Of course, there were other ways Guilian would like to expend his energy with Gabrielle, but for now, he suspected he should continue to be the gentleman. At least Gabrielle had given no indication she was the sort of fast and loose woman he could often find only too willing to spend a night in his bed.
But for now, their dancing kept him focussed. His eyes were only for her, even though he knew that they were the centre of attention. He only turned to nod to the bandleader to move into a song that allowed him to stay pressed so close to her for just a while longer. At the very endearing name she called him, he could not help but smile down at her. Normally he abhorred such names, although Lu was always teasing him with them. Somehow, however, it just seemed right that Gabrielle had coined it.
As her grasp on him stayed firm, he held a very satisfied smirk. Her words were clear, and as he looked into her face, he knew that there was only one answer. "The only thing that could make me happier in this moment would be if you did me the honour of another kiss." He would get another kiss from her, and perhaps more, and then some more. If she made him feel this way, and forget about his dark troubles, then he would kiss her forever.
"But tell me," he said as he spun her around the room. "what makes you happy, Gabrielle?"
