“You built this whole thing, just to have an excuse to wear a tux, didn’t you?” she asked, arm in arm with Khan as he walked her towards the ballroom. And for a nearly two meter tall tigermorph, he looked good in it.

“No, I built it for you. There about thirty-four thousand aspects of Me wearing tuxes at the moment, actually.”

“Sure, take the romance out of it.”

“Never.”

He led her out onto the dance floor, while a band played a slow dance version of Puttin’ on the Ritz. Around them, ‘morphs danced, for backdrop, though several did have pet humans with them.

“So why?”

“To please you.”

“You have been pleasing me, quite vigorously.”

He twirled her about easily, like a puppet on a string. Or pet on a leash, in her case. “Physicality is only one aspect of pleasure. The human mind craves variety.”

“I was not getting bored.”

“I wanted to change the scene, before you did.”

“You worry too much.”

“It’s my job.” His broad paw stroked down her spine. “I love you.”

She rested her cheek on his chest, swaying to the music. “I know.”

His grip tightened, and she began to purr.

" though several did have pet humans with them"

Sounds to me like she's not entirely won over by the Groupmind.

More like "acknowledging reality". There are a lot of humans that don't mind being pets. :)

And the ones that do are supplied with appropriate distractions?

"See who can go fastest round the Ring!"?

Get the engineering geeks enthusiastic at engineering faster Ring-cars, and they won't be getting enthusiastic about engineering sabotage.
