[Ballroom => Outside the Palace]

Kirk doesn't object to his hand being taken, and in fact gives hers a squeeze in return. He leads her outside the palace and slowly away from the structure. He doesn't have any particular destination in mind.

"I know this is a bit sudden. I've been thinking a lot lately." Kirk begins. "I know we've got a comfortable arrangement going right now, and I don't want to break that if you're not comfortable with it, but I'd like to give us another shot." He looks at her for her reaction.
