Altair chuckled softly when she remarked that she had been kissed before. He cleared his throat before speaking, “You should be kissed, and often and by someone that knows how,” He rattled off a quote from a famous, old Holomovie. He held her tight, still feeling that rush from their tender moment.
When she complimented his horns, his tail began to move erratically on its own. Altair always turned to a puddle if anyone ever commented on his horns. His face heated up and almost turned a shade of purple. However, when she mentioned they were soft, he huffed a bit, “Nah, m'am, they’re tough as beskar,” He said proudly, reaching up to flick a finger against a horn.
By now, the ride was drawing to a close. As much as Altair didn’t want to get down, he knew they had no choice. With a sigh, he stepped off and offered his hand to help her down. The snow continued to fall, the rest of the town lit up brilliantly with lights and carolers singing in the distance. Altair reached down to keep a grasp of Zelle’s hand, tugging her along to walk through the town.
“Where to next?” Altair asked, clearly not wanting the date to end. They kept walking until he spotted a live band taking a break in between performances. He turned to look at Zelle, “Wait here a sec,” He said as he walked towards the band members. If she watched, she would notice him slipping the members some credits. Soon after, the supporting cast like a rhythm guitarist and a drummer got back on the small stage.
Altair took out his guitar and walked onto stage, lifting the mic up to his height. He took a moment to tune his instrument before he gave a nod to the band to start playing with him. With that, he started strumming his guitar and started singing in Meerian. His voice projected across the street and he swayed to the rhythm as he sang, his fingers effortlessly traveling across his guitar. He kept his eyes on Zelle the entire time, offering a teasing smile as he sang.
By now, a crowd began to gather. A few people stopped to stare at the object of the serenade, looking at Zelle to see who she was.
