A Meeting Among the Dead

[Ashe Senari]

"Space waffles?" Ashe questioned, smiling for the first time since he had met her. She followed him out of their room eagerly. Being a living weapon left you with a ravenous appetite, there weren't many people that could out eat the small Echani, which made paying for her meals quite costly. She laughed at the thought.

"By the way, i left my wallet in the place that doesn't exist, you have money right." He smiled, in truth he had blown it on the rushed tickets, not even asking if Ashe had any money with her or not, so he had bought their rooms and tickets himself. "Well, miss queen of the doves with the silver hair."

 

[Ashe Senari]

"I have money, just promise me you don't eat like I do," Ashe replied with a laugh, stuffing her hands in her pockets as they walked. If she was paying then that meant she didn't have to worry about him getting upset of her having a shot... or seven, with her breakfast. She continued to follow him, hoping whatever place they were going to get food has alcohol. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

He smiled as she said that and with a quick brow he looked at her as he had a bad feeling that she was a bit too happy. "No alcohal missy, i see that face and while you are eating with me im not allowing you to drink a alcohalic beverage." He grinned, of course he had no say in it, but he wanted to see her reaction.

 

[Ashe Senari]

"If this were to come down to a fight, who do you think would win? Also, I'm the one paying for your meal. I'll drink what I want," Ashe replied stubbornly. She laughed a bit though as they finally reached the small cantina on the ship. She found a small booth in the back corner of the room and slid into it, waiting for her new companion to join her.

He slid in beside her, smiling as he made sure to sit closest to the edge so he could get at her drinks first." He smiled and waved his hand, looking towards the door and at all the tables, careful to check everyone simply out of habit and soon their food was ordered. "I thought i said no drinks there dove, maybe i should call you raven instead?"

 

[Ashe Senari]

"WHy raven?" she asked, determined to grab her drink before he did. It was only one, surely he could allow that. She would have pouted at him like a child if she wasn't so self-conscious.

"Just let me have one. Please? I had a rough night, and week," she pleaded, trying to guilt him into it. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

"Fine one, but im not lietting you get anymore, because if you do im cutting you off for the rest of the ride to where ever we are going." He smiled at her and yawned, his body twisting to crack it quick before poking at his food and drink. "So, i have no idea where we are going by the way, so if we end up at a slave market, i blame you."

 

[Ashe Senari]

"Me? Uh you're the one that bought the tickets Mister!" Ashe gasped, taking a bite of her own food and downing her drink, which was probably equivalent to about three drinks to a normal person. She went back to tearing apart the massive pile of food on her plate. The Echani ate enough to feed a small army, which was made very apparent by the amount of food on her plate.

Kharen smiled as he watched her, head resting atop his hands as he looked at her devour the food that had been laid out for her. It was almost comical in the sense that she probably ate more than he did in a week in this one sitting. He was much happier paying the tickets instead of paying for the food.

 

[Ashe Senari]

Ashe finished her meal in a surprisingly short amount of time when you considered the amount of food she had eaten. She smiled over at Kharen once she finished.

"Feeding me probably cost more than the tickets didn't it?" she teased, getting up to go pay for their meal. She looked over her shoulder to see if Kharen was following her. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

 

[Edric Vanyan]

He was, making sure that she didn't sneak a drink while he was missing sight of her. So there he stood, his body beside hers as they walked and he paused to look at her from the corner of his eye. "Hey ashe, can I see more drawings "

 

[Ashe Senari]

"They aren't that good..." Ashe replied nervously as they walked back to their room. She didn't know why the idea of him looking at them made her uncomfortable. She was scared he wouldn't like them. She didn't think she was that talented, and the amount of drawings of Yusan might seem... Creepy. She sighed as she opened the door to their room and took a seat on a nearby chair.

"Im sure you are excellent at your abilities to draw... tell you what, you show me a drawing and i teach you some of my awesome space magic or i could just turn you into the Dove in the sky again if you want." He stared at her and looked over to then stand as she started walking. Finally he stood beside her and poked at the spot beside her. "Can i sit?"

 

[Ashe Senari]

"Sure," Ashe's reply was short and simple as she grabbed her bag. She dug through it and pull out her datapad, handing it to Kharen. It was already open to her drawing folder so he could shuffle through them easily.

"If you really wanna see them go ahead, just promise not to pick me up anymore. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

 

[Edric Vanyan]

[member="Ashe Senari"]

"What, you didn't like flying little dove, thats a shame." He smiled and looked at her for a few moments before shaking his head and laughing for apparently no reason, his hands gliding over the drawings and examining each one, holding them gingerly as each one were the most fragile and expensive treasure on the planet.

 

[Ashe Senari]

Ashe watched him flip through the sketches on her datapad and couldn't help but smile. He seemed to be enjoying them, and that small bit of happiness they made him feel had Ashe cheering up just slightly. Yusan had loved her artwork too. Most of the sketches where of her and Yusan sparring, or places she had visited. There were alot of drawings of Yusan's house, which she now lived in alone. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

[member="Ashe Senari"]

He found many pictures of the one he assumed was Yusan, and then more than a few of a specific house. Assuming it was Yusan's he kept from mentioning his curiosity for what they were exactly. "Dove, these are absolutely beautiful, i have never seen something like this so well drawn to the point where i feel like i might even be there."

 

[Ashe Senari]

"You really think so? I toyed with the idea of trying to make some money off of my drawing, but I settled for teaching martial arts instead. I'm something of a master when it comes to hand to hand combat," Ashe explained as she looked over his shoulder. The current image was of the small dojo she now owned and operated on Onderon. She smiled a bit, remembering the day Yusan had helped her get the place. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

"Oh, then how about a sparring session, im sure i can face your mastery with a few tricks of my own?" He smiled and stood up, stretching and making sure the space in their cabin was cleared enough for them to have room. "Well?"
