Zell sat on the floor, still in shock. "Is there some importance to this dance?" "She's expressing her happiness over your love for her. She will dance like this until she collapses. At that moment, you will get up, and with two witnesses take her to her room and put her to bed. You'll kiss her once on the lips, once on the forehead. The witnesses are to make sure you treat her honorably. Afterward, you'll come back out to the dance party, and hold your left hand over your heart. The witnesses will nod showing you were honorable." "That's all?" "No. Then you must go out and present yourself to the village." Joshua pointed out at the throng assembled on the walkway. "You have to go out there and hold your hands on your head. Then it'll be over except the celebration." "But what about Baby?" "She'll sleep till tommorrow, if not longer. These two dances are very demanding. During that time, you'll meet with the local Twi'lek elders. They'll welcome you as one of their own. But since you're human, they'll try to get you to adopt an orphan or two." "But she can have a baby with me." "We know that. But they don't. You should just tell them that you'll wait a couple years, then adopt. Tell them you're in the military. They'll understand." "Are there a lot of Twi'lek orphans out there?" "Too many." Joshua said sadly. "Wait!" "What's wrong?" "I'm not strong enough to lift her." "Use the Force. I saw you lifting one of the big droids in the hanger. Baby should be no problem." "Oh yeah." Peenk pulled Joshua aside. "You just happened to study Twi'lek engagement ceremonies, huh?" "No. Baby told me what to look up." "So you knew?" Joshua nodded. "But they've only known each other about a week. It's too soon." "But Peenk," He asked smiling. "don't you believe in love at first sight?" "Do you?" She asked, dodging the question. "Oh yes! My parents only knew each other a week when they married. And 42 years later they are still very much in love." A look of sadness crossed his face briefly, but he said nothing else. Shaking her head, she walked away. Joshua smiled at her as she left. The smile of the patient hunter. Peenk had a sad expression on her face.
