A Meeting Among the Dead

[Ashe Senari]

"No fair! I'm not trained in the Force very well beyond giving me a slight speed boost and a little more striking power!" Ashe whined. She had a feeling she could still beat him,but she didn't like it when enemies had an advantage over her. She smirked though and stood as well, intending to show him just how good she was. She dropped into a simple stance, on hand raised slightly below chin level, the other held at about waist height to block any low strikes or kicks. She bounced lightly on her feet, waiting for him to make the first move. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

He smiled and threw a punch, the entire stance he had and nature of the punch showing he had probably only been in a fist fight several times in his life as he looked like a amateur in both. Already expecting her to react though he flicked his other hand, a force push at her side to distract her and let the punch connect.

 

[Ashe Senari]

Ashe threw up her hand to knock his blow to the side. She managed to keep her footing, merely sliding back a bit from the Force push. She sprang forward, moving as fast as lightning and threw a few punches of her own, one aimed at his face and the other for his stomach. She would move back a few steps if he managed to dodge or block her. If not though she would follow up with a kick to his side. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

 

[Edric Vanyan]

He blocked the face one... that was about it though as he first lost all his breath, then was slammed twice more until the kick to the side sent him to the ground, blinking and collapsed on the ground now... probably the shortest fight of their lives as he sat there. "I take it back... dont want to spar anymore."

[Ashe Senari]

Ashe laughed and offered him a hand to help him up. She probably should have gone easy on him, but she had been trained to never go easy on anyone. She smiled at him as she pulled him back to his feet. The Echani warrior checked him over to make sure he was okay before speaking once again. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you that badly!"

He smiled and made a pft sound as he started laughing, still holding where he had been kicked. "Hurt? Who is hurt? you must be delusional from all that alcohal because i am perfectly fine... mind if i lay down and puke out my organs, i think i have a ruptured spleen and probably a new lump that wasnt there before." He grinned and moved his hand and tackled her as she probably looked worried, collapsing with a laugh on the bed as he would collapse with her there.

 

[Ashe Senari]

Ashe blushed a bit as they landed on the bed. She glanced around the room and came to a sudden realization. There was only one bed in the room! Where were they both going to sleep? She was fine with giving Kharen the bed since he was the one paying for their trip. Besides when she was there late she usually slept on the floor in the dojo she ran. "Uh.... So there's only one bed in here."[member="Kharen Promethien"]

 

[Edric Vanyan]

[member="Ashe Senari"]

"Hmm? Oh ya, i forgot about that." He started to stand up and dust himself off. "You can have the bed, ill just sit against the wall like last night, i don't really sleep so you can have it dove." He stretched as he looked around, about ready to sit down while she took the time to sleep, it wasn't so much that he cared if she took it or not, though he had to admit he liked to watch her sleep, she didn't realize it but she was pretty cute when she ha- wait, why is he thinking this again...

 

[Ashe Senari]

"Are you sure though? I mean you did pay..." Ashe felt kind bad. Yeah, she did kind of want the bed, but he was the one who paid for the trip. "I'm perfectly fine with sleeping on the floor or something, really."

The Echani had slept in harsher conditions when she was training. She really didn't mind, but if he insisted then she'd be willing to take the bed. She wasn't tired yet though, so she'd stay up and pester him for awhile. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

[member="Ashe Senari"]

He waved her concerns off immediately, not even thinking about it. "Like i said, i don't sleep much, i dont like to sleep and only do when i reach a point where it would begin to effect my health and that is something i would be stupid to deny myself sleep at that point... even if restless sleep."

 

[Ashe Senari]

"I'm sorry... Why do you have so much trouble with it, if you don't mind me asking?" Ashe was curious. He sounded like a happy person, but he complained of being unable to sleep. She wondered if maybe there was some way she could help him. He had already done alot to help her and she barely knew him. The Echani felt like she owed him some kind of repayment for everything he did for her. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

[member="Ashe Senari"]

"Dont worry about it, hey you should get some sleep though, you look quite tired as it is." He was more then obviously shifting the focus of the conversation away, if he slept it would be if he had too... his eyes falling on ashe as the words sounded in his head, careful and when he would think about it he wasn't quite sure why these words had come to him, but they did. '... And definitely not while she is around, she seems bad off as it is.'

 

[Ashe Senari]

"I'm really not that tire yet. So... Tell me more about yourself? I'm curious," Ashe replied, continuing to sit next to him. She was drawing in her datapad again, this time she had a new subject though. The warrior was busy drawing Kharen as she waited for him to reply. She enjoyed drawing people in general, especially those who were kind to her. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

[member="Ashe Senari"]

"About me? There is nothing about me, i liked our conversation about you. Your life is much more interesting and exciting than man." He leaned his head back and looked at her with his eyes, studying her but saying nothing until his grin grew again. "Why do you want to know Dove, want to know how i can lift you into the air?"

 

[Ashe Senari]

"I'm curious. If I hadn't met you I probably would have drank myself to death back on Eshan... How is it that out of all the people in the galaxy, you were the one to run into me in my time of need?" Ashe wouldn't say she was a philosophical person, but the question had been nagging at her mind. It just seemed too... Perfect. She didn't know how to handle it. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

 

[Edric Vanyan]

[member="Ashe Senari"]

"I see someone when they die, its why i dont sleep." He smiled, almost as if he hadn't said that, like it was a joke or he was lying, but he just smiled and the words left his mouth with complete seriousness. "I would have given you... thirty more minutes if i hadn't shown up when i did, i was on planet anyways and knew where the graves were, so rushed there to see if i could find what i saw and there you were."

 

[Ashe Senari]

"So... You saw me? That's why you were there... But why? Why go through so much trouble to save someone who was throwing there life away?" Ashe sounded almost... Angry? Not because he had saved her, but because had felt obligated to help her even when she was destroying her own life. If she was being attacked, that'd be a little better, but no, she was drinking enough to kill a rancor and that wasn't his problem. No one should have to suffer watching people die in their dreams no matter what the situation, but it must be worse feeling obligated to help people who were carelessly throwing the gift of life away. She resumed drawing to try and distract herself. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

"I see the deaths of thousands a second, your death was simply chance that i was there when i was. I didn't know when or even if you would actually die there, but i felt your feelings as you died and your pain, i knew that you died over a loved one and i had a inkling that maybe for once i could change what i see... hell maybe i haven't maybe that is still how you will die, and i simply choose the wrong death to intervene during."

 

[Ashe Senari]

"I see... I wouldn't mind having your around for awhile though... If.. If you'd like... Even after this trip we could travel together?" Ashe hoped he would say yes. She needed a friend, with Yusan gone she had no one. She refused to see her family, aside from her sister. The Echani was tired of being alone. Ashe would give anything to have someone to spend all of her time with. [member="Kharen Promethien"]

 

[Edric Vanyan]

"Considering the fact that i already blew every credit i had on me on this room on the ship, i think its only fair i see through your recovery as a travel companion, dont you?" He smiled and looked at her for a few moments, eyes staring at her and careful as he then looked up at the ceiling and yawned. "Huh, i am more tired than i thought."
