Private A New Life

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr yawned holding on to Tiaza when she saw the set of clothes placed on the table. "I don't know," Sorr said getting up from the bed leaving Tiaza. "Let me check it out it could be something bad." The young man held the fabric in his hands sighing. "Let's just go to the ship," Sorr sighed. "I don't want to think what kind of sick things these people have been doing while we were sleeping."

As Tiaza and Sorr started to stir a tone came from the holoterminal on the desk. Right next to where the folded clothes had been a holoimage of the Chadra-fan Maym appeared.

"Good morning Master Sorr, and friend," the furry servant greeted them. Behind the image they could see the nearby dock that they walked through the day before. A ship was now there being serviced by the dock workers.

"I trust you were able to find the clothes I left for you ma'am while you were eating," he added graciously. "The ship will be ready to depart within the hour. I was told that perhaps you would like minor treatment for the young lady's ankle. Shall I have the doctor meet you on the ship or in your quarters?"​

Tiaza didn't want Sorr to leave the bed, but she knew that was going to happen sooner or later. As he investigated the clothes left and expressed his desire to leave the holo came to life with the image of the Lady's small servant.

After the message Tiaza felt a little better about the clothes and the thought of leaving the criminal hideout was very pleasing. Like Sorr she didn't like trusting the criminals.

"Have the doctor meet us at the ship," she said looking to Sorr for confirmation she chose correctly.​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

"So, it was you who left the clothes while we were sleeping?" Sorr asked frowning. It was kind of creepy having the woman leave the clothes in their quarters. Back in Alderaan, the servants would leave Sorr's things next to his door if they saw that he was busy. "We're going to depart immediately don't want to waste time." Sorr said to the holoimage of Lady X while he turned around and picked Tiaza up in a bridal carry.

"Ready to explore the Galaxy?" Sorr asked kissing Tiaza's neck. "I know I'm pretty eager to leave this place especially after last night."

"While you were in the mess," the holoimage corrected. "I would not invade your privacy while you were occupying the room. While it was empty however… I don't really think you had the expectation that your room was secure to only yourselves.

The Chadra-fan motioned over its shoulder. "Ship appears near readiness the doctor is on its way to the dock. If you should choose to leave before he arrives that is your prerogative. There are many fine medical facilities on Manaan. Lady X will look forward to hearing of your success."​

Tiaza was quite happy to be in his arms again, held close. She was glad to hear that they had not invaded their space while they were on the room, but the fact that they blatantly didn't consider the room off limits, Tiaza was just as eager to be gone.

"I am ready she confirmed," she confirmed. With a frown she collected up the clothes that Lady X's people had provided. Sorr liked her red outfit, and it was her favorite as well. But it was her signature look. If they went to someplace she would be recognized it might be better to have a change of clothes.

"If the doctor is there when we get to the ship he can try to give some temporary support for my ankle," Tiaza mentioned as she held tight to Sorr. "If not we get out of here. Either way I will still probably need you to carry me around."​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr shook his head he forgot that he wasn't in his house anymore. In the criminal underworld, privacy is a luxury rather than a privilege. "If the doctor is there," Sorr said while he carried Tiaza tightly. "I'm going to have it take care of your ankle immediately. The last thing you want to have your ankle infected. I remember a time where my aunt ignored a cut she got from fencing and the medical droid had to amputate her arm because the infection quickly spread."

It'll stink for Sorr since he enjoyed carrying Tiaza in his arms, but she needed to get treatment. But still to have Tiaza in his arms purring in his ear and whispering words of encouragement...... It was something that he Or" Sorr sighed. "You want to ditch the medical droid and hope the ankle heals up on its own. I can carry you around all the time. Just know that when I have to place you down, you'll have to hold on to my leg."

Tiaza blushed a little as Sorr mentioned not seeing the droid. She held tight to Sorr's neck. She didn't want to walk on her own not quite yet. In his arms she felt safe and comforted. Even though the jobs were supposed to be easy she doubted she would feel that way anywhere else.

The truth was her ankle was slowly getting better. She didn't think she had done any Permian to damage, but Sorr's story had her a little worried. She was ready to chance it and tell Sorr they could make it to Manaan before having it seen, but as they arrived at the dock the droid was approaching the ship.

"Um, it seems the droid is here," she answered nervously. "I would hate to lose my leg like your aunt did. Maybe it should have a look." The young Chiss' heart started beating fast. "But, uh, maybe you give me a little space while it looks me over? I will need comfort if it is bad news. But the initial reaction… I don't want you to think I am too much of a whimp."​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

They arrived at the dock with Sorr looking up at the ship in awe his heart swelled with joy he nearly dropped Tiaza in the process stunned at its majestic beauty. His very own ship..... already Sorr was imagining the many adventures he was going to go on. His dream was about to come true, sure he got himself kidnapped and he got backstabbed by a man he trusted but things worked out in the end. Sorr had a woman who actually cares for him and now they were a step closer to going to space.

The Medical Droid arrived while Sorr gently placed Tiaza down near his leg. "Let's make this quick." Sorr said. "But I'll never think of you as a whimp Tiaza." The young man knelt down and kissed her on the lips hoping that she felt more confident now.

Tiaza looked over the ship that they were supposed to take on their errands. If Lady X lived up to her word it would be Sorr's when they were done as this was merely the first in what would be many to serve the Lady's interests. It was shiny and new and not like another ship she'd ever seen. The young Chiss hoped that Sorr would be able to fly it as well as others he had to earn accolactes in academy.

When Sorr put her down so the droid could examine her ankle she wanted to cling onto him. But he might get mad if she was having him carry her when she was getting better. She gave a gentle purr as he kissed her. Smiling as he gave her the space she asked for.

The medical droid stepped in and scanned her ankle. "It has healed some since the last scan," the droid informed Tiaza. "In fact of you let me give you a stim shot I bet you could be walking around in no time."

"Is there a risk of permanent damage if I forgo the stim?" Tiaza asked.

"Oh no ma'am it was merely very badly sprained," the droid informed her. "Without any treatment it will be healed with no issues in three to seven days."

"Thank you," Tiaza said with a smile. "Sorr!" She yelled out. "We are ready to go. No risk of losing the leg. But the droid says you will need to carry me still for a little longer."​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr smiled running towards Tiaza and picking her up. "That's great!" he whispered leaning closer to Tiaza and kissing her on the lips. "But how long until you're fully healed?"

He carried Tiaza towards the ship looking over the hull, it was rusted on the top and the black marks that peppered it looked like blaster bolt smoldering. "She doesn't look pretty," Sorr said looking the ship over. "Let's just hope despite its rough look she can fly well."

Sorr looked down at Tiaza. "You know?" his lips formed into an awkward smile. "Like the Smugglers from the stories. The adventures of the intrepid Smuggler flying around with a beat up ship. Yet inside lies the most advanced hyperdrive you'll ever see!"

Tiaza didn’t know the difference between a good ship and a bad one to be honest. She knew that certain features would make it good, certain things would denote age. This one had some of those signs, but she thought they said it was a new model. Maybe the prototype was not made of the highest quality materials.

“I’m sure you’d be able to become a stellar smuggler no matter what the ship you ended up flying looked like,” Tiaza praised Sorr. “The Millennium Falcon supposedly always looked ragged, but Han Solo made it the best, fastest ship in the galaxy.” That was probably an exaggeration due to Solo’s fame, but very few alive today would be able to argue that point.

“Maybe the exterior condition is a ruse,” Tiaza suggested with a smile. “Make it look old and beat up so others discount it?” She gave a little shrug of her shoulders. “Doesn’t much matter. I think it’s high time you show me all your piloting skills. Since our last flight was interrupted.”​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

"Yeah!" Sorr said kissing Tiaza on the cheek when she mentioned Han Solo. "The adventures of Han Solo were my favorite stories to read when I was a kid. Now look at me, I get my very own ship and I can live it!"

The young man gave a sheepish smile. "Though there is a lot of danger that comes to being a Smuggler," Sorr said. "I don't want to keep you around for too long. I'm sure your manager and fans worried about you!"

He carried Tiaza inside of the ship's main hold. "Oh wow...." Sorr said looking around the surprisingly clean and pristine room. "You're right it looks quite cozy in the inside."

He carried her towards the cockpit placing her down on the copilot's chair. "Right," Sorr said pressing some buttons. "Let's set coordinates for Manaan, that seems to be cleanest job of them all." The young man continued to look over the layout. "Not so different than Rory's ship." He observed. "Let's get going then."

Sorr warmed up the engines as he began to fly out of the planet's orbit.

Tiaza giggled at the excitement Sorr showed when she brought up Han Solo. He was honestly a favorite of Tiaza’s as well. Always was a good man, even though he tried to play himself off as a selfish outlaw. “Don’t expect me to be just like Princess Leia,” she said, continuing her light laughter. “I will be by your side as much as possible, but don’t count on me going into battle at your side. And I’m definitely staying out of politics.”

Hearing him express concern for her fans and even Sap had Tiaza cuddling into his chest purring as he carried her into the ship. “I will have to go back before too long. I’ll get a message to Sap as soon as we can. Manaan probably. I bet they are still monitoring communications from the ship. I don’t want to think about leaving now.”

The inside of the ship was quite awesome, Tiaza thought. She had always traveled on bigger passenger liners so she had no comparison viewpoint of another freighter, but it looked clean and capable of doing whatever Sorr would need to get his career started.

He walked them to the cockpit, and gently placed Tiaza in the co-pilot’s chair. She hoped he didn’t need any of the buttons on the far side of her. She thought of him reaching across her and a smile crossed her lips, maybe she hoped he did need something over there. “Manaan it is,” she confirmed with a nod. She looked over at him at the controls. Sorr looked so comfortable there. So handsome. She was quite lucky to have run into him. Even if she ripped one of her favorite shirts and was dragged out to Hutt Space.​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

Sorr set the coordinates towards preparing the jump to lightspeed. "Series 401 Hyperdrive Motivator....." Sorr said looking over the ship's schematics. "Not bad."

Smiling, the young man placed his hand on Tiaza's thigh. "Better buckle up baby." he chuckled. "Things are going to get a little fast."

With a push of a button, the ship zipped into hyperspace. "So Tiaza," Sorr said staring at blue streaks that filled the cockpit. "What do you want to name the ship?"

Tiaza was so happy for Sorr and she watched him going over the details of the ship. He seemed impressed, that was a good thing. She didn’t have the slightest idea that a 401 hyperwhativator was a good thing, but Sorr thought so, and that was good enough for her.

The young Chiss’ leg tensed when Sorr placed his hand on her thigh, not a bad tense, a reflex, and some wishful thinking as well. She giggled at his request that she buckle up, but looked on both sides of her seat for said buckle. She was also buckled in when traveling in a passenger liner at the entry to hyperspace, why would things be different when you are in the pilot, or co-pilot’s seat. She found the strap and placed it over her lap. “All ready,” she giggled and prepared for the next step of their journey.

Tiaza had never actually seen the entry of a ship into hyperspace. Always stuck back in the passenger compartment, never near a window. It was beautiful to see the stars turn into lines and then become a mottle of blue in a sort of tunnel. She was mesmerized by the sight for a moment, thinking of a melody that would go with the visual. It didn’t quite develop as Sorr’s voice broke the trance she had fallen into. “You can’t really want me to name your ship,” Tiaza responded. “Maybe you should name it after me, so you don’t forget me while you're out exploring new areas of the galaxy.” She gave a teasing giggle. It would be flattering, but she wondered if people would think it was a marketing tool for her career.​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

"Okay," Sorr chuckled looking into Tiaza's crimson eyes. "How about..... Tiaza's Purr?" Sorr kissed Tiaza on the cheek while he checked the navcomputer to see if they were still on the Hyperspace Lane. "I just cannot get enough of your purrs Tiaza." Sorr said. "Everytime you purr I always feel a rush of adrenaline you know?"

"He kissed her on the cheek again." You know what's better as well?" Sorr whispered. "Maybe leaving behind a picture of yourself so I can remember you by."

Tiaza blushed when Sorr suggested the name Tiaza’s Purr that would certainly suggest something a little bit more intimate than a marketing ploy, or a crazed fan. The blush deepened with a delivered kiss and explanation of how her purring made Sorr feel. It made her feel all warm inside. That was usually something that she had to sing a whole song to inspire in someone, but with Sorr just a little sound did the trick.

He leaned across and kissed her cheek again and asked if she could leave a picture of herself to keep her in his thoughts. She gave a bit of a giggle and undid the seat belt, she had always been told that not much happens once a ship was safely in hyperspace. Using her good leg she moved to sit in his lap. She gave him a short kiss on the lips and purred with a flirty smile on her lips. “Maybe I can leave you a short video? Record a little purring?”​

 

[Sorr Kortu]

"How about both?" Sorr asked kissing Tiaza on the cheek while she sat on his lap. "That'll be great." The young man once again reached to her underarms and began to tickle her. "Somebody is ticklish in their armpits." Sorr said as he began to tickle her. "To have dress that doesn't cover their arms."

Sorr laughed as he continued to tickle Tiaza. It felt good to be alone with her after yesterday's highly contentious time with the Marauders.

Was Sorr getting a little greedy? Picture, video, voice recording of her purring? Tiaza giggled to herself, of course she would do it for him. There were a lot of other interesting girls out there in the galaxy she wasn’t going to let him forget about her.

Then the tickling started again. Sorr was relentless. Tiaza tried to force her arms down to keep him from getting access to her under arms, but she was squirming around so much that it was doing no good at all.

He teased her for wearing an outfit that left her ticklish areas uncovered. “I’d need a durasteel shirt to stop you,” she admitted unconsciously between fits of laughter. It was the truth Tiaza’s sister would tickle her even though she was coving up with thick blankets when they were younger. Nothing seemed to block off the sensation in that area of her body. Sorr was enjoying himself immensely, and Tiaza was happy to be tickled instead of marched around a criminal hideout or be kidnapped. But still being tickled for too long just made one very uncomfortable. The young Chiss abandoned any hope of keeping her armpits safe and wrapped her arms around Sorr’s neck. She pressed her lips against his hoping to distract him from the tickling, though it wasn’t quite as passionate as she had hoped trying to kiss through the laughter.​
