Who? Rob & Uhura
Where? Trinidad, a club?
When? Tonight's the night!
What? Dancing.
Rating? Mediumish
Open? No



Rob hadn't been lying when he'd said he would have no idea what he was doing, but he'd seen quite a bit of the dancing at the carnival, and it did all seem like such good fun. He was no stranger to a dance, and he had rhythm, so he wasn't an absolutely lost cause. Only his traditional Scottish dancing was nothing like this... the whole of Trinidad just made him walk about with wide eyes, gaping and gasping at everything that happened. He was afraid that he was just revealing how much of a country bumpkin he really was, but then it wasn't as if Uhura didn't know how sheltered a life he'd really led in many respects. And she seemed to think it was cute, so that was a definite bonus.

He was so used to working from the crack of dawn until sunset, and sometimes beyond that if the situation called for it, so really this was the first holiday he had taken since... since ever, in fact. He'd had tasks on the land since he was old enough to walk, and it was strange, learning to relax, learning to rest and do things just...because it was enjoyable. And to not feel shame about that, to not feel guilty. But he was learning, and it seemed so much easier when he had Uhura with him, smiling at him, moving with him.

Uhura smiled up at her boyfriend. He seemed to love it here, learning new things and actually getting to relax properly and have a little fun. She accepted his need to work and wasn't all that unused to not having her partner with her most of the time.

As she watched the rest of the dancers, she was glad Rob had asked her to come dancing. She took his hand and moved out onto the dance floor with him.

Rob moved with her, still smiling like a loon as she lead him out onto the dance floor. "I'll try not to humiliate you," he told her, with a bit of a laugh.

"You never would." Uhura said softly. "Just find the rhythm and go with it."

"Oh, don't speak to soon. I might get the sudden urge to pas de basque," he joked.

"Looking around you might well be OK." Uhura laughed, leaning up to kiss him.

"Don't think my competition is up to much?" he laughed with her, smiling happily into her kiss.

"Well, good. That was the idea," he smiled, holding onto her hands and moving with her. "You've done this before?"

"You're just full of surprises," he smiled, moving with her, and giving her a curious look at the mention of her parents. "Hmm, you know, I think that's the first time you've said something about your family."

"Is it really? My mother was a starship captain...first woman ever, my father taught languages at the Academy. I was born in Northern Kenya, but we left before I turned 2." Uhura replied

"The first?" Rob repeated with some definite admiration. "I see where you get your tenacity from. A little of both of them in you," he smiled.

"Ah, you're already plenty, lass," he told her, and he really did mean it. "You want to be first at something?" he asked, moving with her.

"I'm proud of how well you're doing." Uhura moved into his arms picking the pace up.
