Afraid of the Dark

[Claire Organa]

Location: Alderaan, Sanctuary City

Claire sat quietly looking out at the ocean she had some happy memories associated with water and this helped to soothe her nerves. She couldn't always remember how long she had been here or how long she had been trapped beneath the rocks. She had thought she was ok but her left leg had been shattered they were busy knitting the bones together. The wonders of modern medicine.

She looked at her left hand still wrapped up but told healing. The rest of what was wrong was mental. The explosions, the screams, the feeling of helplessness. All of it. She had not failed entirely she had gotten them to the shelters she just forgot to get in one too.

A deep sigh left her lips and she wondered what was next. She had been studying again, schooling it kept her mind busy and offered her something she had not considered before. A study of history.

Coruscant was under attack, and the Alderaan University was not yet fully functioning so she was back to having nothing to do. Her thoughts wandered to better times and she smiled. Nothing however would be the same again.

I'd heard of the attacks back on Coruscant and Alderaan both. From my understanding there'd been a certain young noblewoman that'd had been helping with evacuations. Slicing hospital records was easy to be honest and now I was headed towards Claire's hospital room. My armor now a set of noble armor from House Vikar's personal stockpile. Wearing a set of plain jeans and boots with a dark under my breastplate I walked down the hall. Cloaked in The Force and avoiding the nurses I entered her room as a nurse left. Tamerlein on my left hip with my modified blasters in a shoulder harness under each armpit my sabers were clipped to my right hip and behind my back. A caramel leather jacket on over the breastplate I sat in a chair for visitors and dispelled my Force Cloak. Claire had been studying and looking out at the ocean and now I was here.... "Hell of a thing you did cya'rika.... next time though maybe try helping yourself too."

Moving in I kissed her lips softly and as I pulled away I noticed her body through The Force. Shattered left leg and broken wrist..... "Also I figured I might have a little bit better luck than the doctors with helping you heal." Pointing at her leg and wrist I waited for her to respond....

Relief and happiness at the very sight of him I don't know any other words to express it. His faith in me to do more, his encouragement to reach beyond what I believed I was and now here he was. He was an answer to my silent prayers maybe on some levels he knew that. She couldn't lie she thought of him often and wondered where he was and what he was doing. Clearly he had been busy.

"I will keep that in mind. But I'm really hoping there is not a next time" The kiss, so warm and gentle and just what she needed at that time. Claire looked at the Andorreth something different, she wasn't sure. "Did you come all this way to scold me?" I didn't think he had but it would be fun to tease him some.

"You can help with the mending?" That seemed new, "is it a new skill?" He already had so many it wouldn't surprise her that he had taken it upon himself to learn more.

Just as she had.

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

Bringing my left hand to my chest dramatically I said "You wound me m'lady!" Bringing my left hand onto her left leg I said "Aye I can, and yes one of many new things. Lean back cya'rika and we'll begin." Channeling the Force energies I'd stored withing my ring on my left hand I used Force sight to see the extent of the damage. The doctors at least had injected a muscle paralytic that'd keep movement from shifting the bone fragments.... Focusing on the shattered pieces of bone in Claire's leg I envisioned them knitting back together. Triggering the stored Force energy in my ring I willed then bone fragments to knit themselves back together. "Odesii Cya'rika, I know it feels weird."

Breathing in I looked at her leg and through Force sight I saw the bone finalize knitting together. Odds were Claire would need a brace but outside of that I saw no potential complications. Repeating the process on her wrist I felt everything settle back into place in her body. Drawing the liquid medication in her cells out I funneled it into a glass of water by the bedside. Finally my wristblade on my left hand I ejected and said "Kolto injector in the blade to help with healing. It'll be a quick pinch Claire." Triggering the needle in the blade I injected kolto into her left thigh and in her wrist before retracting the blade.

Kneeling by her side I softly kissed her left thigh, then her wrist and finally her heavenly lips. Pulling away I asked "How do the injuries feel? Can you move your leg and wrist without pain?"

I couldn't help myself his dramatics tickled my funny bone he made me laugh pulling me back to the reality that he was really here. HIs hand touched my leg warmth spread out quickly. It was as if someone had put a warm cloth to my skin it was comforting. "Ni bu'cina gar" and I did I had no reason to not he had been my rescuer, and my lover. He was many things to me and now it seemed he would be my healer.

"It does feel weird but good" I watched him the seriousness of the task how his brow furrowed. That look of concentration I had seen it before he committed to it and would see it through. I needed to sit, be quiet and not move.

I didn't realize he was taking away the meds but I could feel the slow dull aches returning slowly intensifying I didn't want to stiffen up but I couldn't control it. Then he said something about kolto, all I could do was nod. A small pinch then relief without the fuzziness.

I didn't feel anything else the velvet of his lips brushing against my thigh, then pressed tenderly to my wrist, and then to when he captured my lips to his. I couldn't help but lift my hand to caress his cheek. I felt regret each time he pulled away but relief too for all that he had done. "I feel better" I couldn't take my hand away not yet.

I rotated my wrist, "wrist is good" I dropped my other hand to my lap, "will you help up to test the leg." I didn't want to fall. I held out my hand putting to his shoulder and began to rise up. A dull ache but nothing more so I put all of my weight on the leg waiting for it to give out but it held, and again since his arrival he made me laugh.

"The leg feels great.. a bit achy but nothing like before...what all did you do?" She was so ready to get out the room...but first things firs.t.

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

The mando'ad didn't escape me. Honestly it brought a smile to my lips, she said her wrist felt good and asked if I'd help test the leg. She placed her hands on my shoulder and hobbled up, taking a few steps she asked what I'd done. "I viewed your internal organs, muscles and bone structure through Force sight. Then I focused on the shards of bone in your thigh and leg and willed them to begin knitting back together. I encouraged the muscles to regrow as a way to support and cushion the bones. Then I triggered Force energy stored in my ring and the gem in the hilt of my sword. The Force energies and my will brought your shattered bones back into one piece. Physically you'll be fine the pain is up here." Tapping her forehead to illustrate I leaned in and said "I withdrew the pain meds because like it or not doctors won't admit how easy it is to become addicted and I'm not about to let that happen to you. Kolto is natural and non-addictive plus it doesn't fuzz up your brain."

"Sounds very complicated my dear Andorreth but thank you." She smiled broadly, "I was enjoying the drugs though truly it's that odd sensation of being detached from all of your aches and pains, worries and frets. I can see why people get addicted to it."

I couldn't help but look at him again, "Something has changed...what else has happened" I couldn't help but marvel at the armor perhaps it was that..why the change? Had his status changed on Kashyyyk or Corellia? He was talented and needed across the galaxy so any manner of title would help to elevate his status I just couldn't figure out what it was.

I kept my hand on his shoulder to keep me steady but to also keep in contact, yes I had become a create who loved to touch others.

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

The armor drew her eyes, I noticed the glance at my sword as well. Both were from House Vikar's stored armory armor worn by exiled princes and kings of the past... "Well I reclaimed my title as a Prince of Corellia. Through mortal combat against the man who murdered my brother no less. The armor is something worn by previously exiled princes or lords of House Vikar as is the sword. Imbued with The Force it'd stand against a saber even. Plus, I figured if I were to see such a beautiful woman it'd be better to show up in something a little bit more low-key and classy than my beskar'gam."

I hesitated briefly, then decided to speak again. "Outside of that being different I'm also now the leader of The Silver Shadows it happened just prior to the invasion of Kashyyyk in fact. Though if I might make a suggestion M'lady? Let's get you and your books out of here I might have possibly seen a digital copy of your name and sliced hospital records to say that you'd checked yourself out.... Plus hospitals don't look like a very comfortable place to catch up with old flames."

I let the insinuation sit there and levitated Claire's books and datapad into my free hand before quickly ferreting them away into my leather jacket's pockets. Opening myself to The Force I simply said "hold onto me, don't let go, and don't speak for a bit. Simply ask a thought mentally and I'll respond." Without further explanation I simply scooped Claire up, and cloaked us both in The Force. Exiting the room I headed back down the hall towards the exit and kept moving towards the spaceport. Somehow I though Claire would enjoy the perks of me being a Prince of Corellia...

It wasn't every day that a knight in shining armor came calling into my room. I'd be a fool to say no let's stay when I didn't. I was tired of the room, tired of being trapped there, and [member="Andorreth Vikar"] provided just what I needed. Healing, and company.

I nodded not saying a word as he scooped me up all I could do was smily broadly at him. Old flames that I was he still made me all molten inside with just a few looks.

Think mentally so that must be like talking to myself. Ok.

I love the armor it seems to suit you. I'm glad you finally have restored your House too. I know how important it is.

I did it was that connection to family, that feeling of belonging somewhere. As much as she at times was uncomfortable with her name she had to admit it provided her a level of comfort to know there were others in the galaxy with it that she was connected to. Except one person who they never located, Torie. But that would come in time she just wasn't sure when.

Leader of the Silver Shadows. I don't know what that means Andorreth can you explain some?

Where they a gang, or spies, or....something else all different?

I have a hard time letting go of you...as if you didn't know that...

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

Conveying my thoughts I said in a warm, husky tone "Well I mean I have to be the knight in dark armor. I AM after all Vespera an evening star...Having my house restored was more for my parents and family though. Honestly I got used to being an exile, barkeep, smuggler and Jedi. To be fair though there's something about having restored MY honor that makes wearing the armor and blade worth more than anything I'd like to think my brother would approve of the look too." I kept moving through the spaceport eyes flitting about for potential danger when Claire's second question hit. "The Silver Shadows.....aren't exactly talked about or weren't. In any case they used to be.....specialists among The Silver Jedi. They did recon, gathered intel, sabotage in a variety of forms, when needed....they did wetwork ops. Black-op assassinations essentially....

I was appointed leader of them by The Grandmaster of The Order due to my....exploits on and off the battlefield along with my background. So essentially I'm the leader of that group, training new shadows except I train non-lethal exclusively. At first anyways...the idea is to get the new members so used to fighting hand-to hand that they can subdue multiple species with non-lethal force. Poisons to cause temporary blindness or paralysis, blades coated with such poisons while also being coated with bacta or kolto. Make a cut the victim is out and the cut heals over with no indication quick, silent, non-lethal if possible."

Pausing I reached the area where the Prudii'kad was docked. Walking towards the edge of the cliff by the spaceport I simply said "trust me" then I stepped off into nothingness and the cloak for the airlock hissed open and we fell through the hatch. Using the Force I let us down slowly and triggered the airlock shut. Dispelling the Force Cloak I said openly "Welcome to the Prudii'kad cya'rika if you'll follow me to my bunk then we cna get you settled with something other than simply a hospital gown though if you want that gone I wouldn't mind helping you out of it either..."

I let the insinuation sit there as Claire took in the new ship. Another perk of having been in the battle of Kashyyyk I'd found this beauty hidden, buried in the forests under the HQ of The Shadows. Amazign what lurked within the ruins of planets....I'd had to do a lot of upgrades and stripping down of the old ship but now? Totally worth it.

Warm husky and oh so soothing on the nerves. Restored his honor yes he did it in the way he needed to satisfy himself and anyone else that might seek to question it. She wished she had seen it. She wanted to see the man who made her Andorreth seem dishonorable. He was not and I knew it I could feel it I guess in so many ways. The way he spoke, the way he moved, and most of all the way he acted. I think your family would approve Andorreth how could they not

They moved almost with what felt like a blur among people who didn't have time to notice any disturbances to the space around them how exciting we were invisible. I listened to him talk about the Shadows. Even in this he was about subduing someone without true harm. That was his way wasn't it one of the reasons she cared so deeply for him was that virtue.

He asked me if I trusted him, of course Course now when he jumped I was almost tempted to take it all back. I clung tightly to him just a bit afraid. I knew he wouldn't hurt me but still when you jump into nothing...the adrenaline rushes on in.

"Prudii'kad huh...I've heard that name before...I like it." She looked around as he moved to set her on the bunk. "So you'd like me to walk around naked that would make somethings easier. Course you would have to reciprocate...and walk around naked too" She stood up to test the leg again. It felt better still ached some but man so much better than an hour ago and no meds.

"I love what I see around here its....wow..a stunner." She looked over at him.."you might have to help a bit...I'm not sure if my arm wlll do what I want. I know you fixed it it feels rubbery though..." she made a face of uncertainty.

"You've been busy cyar'ika I'm happy for you. So...still have a stash of women's clothing about?"

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

Smirking at Claire's devilish retorts I said "Perhaps we shall indeed Claire..." Suddenly my AI spoke up over the ship comms "M'lord I've had the Prudii'kad initiate silent burn to break atmo. Also the new deck has been completed above your cabin whilst you were away." Looking at Claire and the feminine voice I said "She was in the ships' internal computers when I set everything back up she ran genetic scans and recognized noble blood. Still can't stand it when she say m'lord though her name is apparently Artemis after a renowned warrior goddess fond of the bow." As Claire mentioned her arm feeling rubbery I said "Muscles are regrowing still that's not unusual and yes by the way I do keep such things here still I also had my blades-woman teacher pick up some things when last we sparred so there'll be some more....comfortable sensual things designed to make me uncomfortable."

Putting that last sentence in air quotes I said "Least that's what she said. I suspect she was either messing with me or intentionally trying to rattle me. In any case I'll certainly help you cya'rika, this way love..." Leading the way to my cabin I watched Claire to make sure she didn't fall. When we finally reached my cabin I was asked for my passphrase. "All that is gold does not glitter." The door opened with a soft click and pulling it open for Claire I gestured for her to enter. I'd replaced the metal decking with hand-measured, hand-cut and polished by me. My bed sat against the wall, with onyx colored metal plated shutters there and the same onyx metal plated shutters as the roof. Soft, warm light fixtures dotted the room and I said "welcome back to my home away from home Cya'rika..."

"mi'lord how very...fancy." I couldn't help but smile then do a little curtsy, "pleasure to meet you mi'lord" I gave him a big cheesy grin just then. "I do think it has a ring to it"laughing I began to walk slowly I finally had something else I could tease him about. "Though you know mi'lord does fit you" I winked at him.

It did feel weird not that I could feel muscles and tendons growing but having gone from being on enough pain kills to knock out a rancor to going without them I knew I should be greatful for the force and Andorreth's skill with it. I bounced a little on the leg yeah wouldn't be running yet but walking sounded good.

"comfortable sensual..huh...well maybe she in my store." I followed along my eyes darted everywhere taking in the ship. He was proud of it anyone could hear it in his voice and that bit of glint there in his eye as he showed me the way.

All the glitters is not gold spoken in true Andorreth manner. I nodded my approval of it but now when I walked into the room polished subtle and yet very masculine. the room felt odd to me and I wasn't sure why. It was a reflection of a side of him that I wasn't sure I knew. "thank you, I'm glad to be here again." Fashion magazines would kill to get a look at this room.

The fixtures though made it feel warm like a place you wanted to stay, yeah who wouldn't want to stay in here with him. But I could also imagine him in here meditating or taking a reprieve from the galaxy. "is there a secret loft here?" He had taken me to safety and I slept under a blanket of stars with him protecting me. It was the perfect setting for infatuation but he had been a noble then and kept his distance.

I however suffered that same fate as many of the women in my family we acted upon our feelings our..lusts...life was too short to say what if.

"This really is lovely Andorreth."

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

My jaw feathered slightly when Claire started saying m'lord. We'd reached my cabin and Claire looked around saying fashion magazines would kill to get a look at this room. Smirking as she asked if there was a secret loft I hit the activation stud on my left gauntlet the onyx shutters slid back the black stone retreating over each scale with a snick, snick, snick. Gradually the lights in my cabin dimmed to a dull, warm glow as instead starlight illuminated my cabin, Pulling my leather jacket off I tossed it to a chair beside my bed then pulled off my blaster holsters and set them on the chair. I heard the anti-gravity generator thrum on under my bed and the onyx stone iris above my bed snicked open.

Moving silently behind her I whispered "I'm glad you're here again too cya'rika, you didn't honestly think I'd not treat you to a better view of the stars than last time did you?" Softly kissing her neck I pulled back away and wondered what she'd been studying while in that hospital room. I know for sure I'd seen star-charts and coordinate markers. Maybe she'd been planning an expedition? In any case she needed rest and to relax a bit. Truth be told I did too. I was still coming to terms with being recognized as noble-born once again. In any case I'd enjoy Claire's company and let her pick whatever she wanted from the clothes, from what my droid told me there were several items of "intimate wear" I could only guess at what those were on account of Celiana having locked the bottom drawer of my dresser and genetic locking it to female DNA or my droids.... I'd seen many things but knowing Celiana it'd likely be some kind of elegant nightdress and accompanying things. Probably a pair of those ridiculously thin workout pants too what with their designs that Force knew attracted the eyes. In any case a nice dinner and sleeping with Claire in my bed....definitely worse things I could be dealing with.

I had not taken too many steps except to be standing near the edge of his bed. The answer to my question soon began to be revealed the sound of the shutters drawing back to reveal the stars. I looked up they were countless the one thing Alderaan still had that no one could take from it a beautiful view.

Kisses soft as flower petals touched my neck he was an old smoothie wasn't he. "I knew you would have something my dear, I just wasn't sure what it would be" How many lifetimes could I live and still not be in awe of the stars? who knew it just took my breath away. Clothes I thought...

"Ok...let me go look at this collection of clothing..." With great hesitancy I headed to look at the collection. It had expanded quite a bit, I couldn't help but laugh he had enough clothes in here for two or three women actually. I didn't know what to think of it ever. I just kinda went along with the flow. There were thing in here I wasn't sure that they were really meant for sleeping..more like being a lure to hook him. There was a drawer below...what was in there.

Ooo...the drawer opened like at my touch..wow....I found something I instantly liked the material was smooth and slipped through my fingers and it fit my personality...when I stepped back out, "so is this good to sleep in?" I did a little turn...and then waited to see if he approved.

[Andorreth Vikar]

I'd been unfastening my armor and sword-belt as Claire had been looking through the wardrobe. The modified blasters I slipped into the magnetically locked holsters on the nightstand. The Force imbued blade I locked into place on the side of the bed frame. I'd finished getting everything sorted when Claire re-emerged dressed in a silky ivory top and matching shorts. She did a little turn and I smiled "I think that'll do wonderfully cya'rika." I pulled off my gauntlets and set them on the nightstand then pulled my shirt off. I'm sure Claire would appreciate the view as I pulled my clothes off. Still clad in a pair of form-fitting compression shorts I simply used The Force to flip the lights off.

The Guardian droids that were stationed outside signaled and said "M'lord there has been a food order placed in for a dish made to your specifications your order for Nerf steak with a salad and a bottle of your private selection Corellian wine and per the lady Celiana's request she left a bottle of wild Echani cherry-blossom and peach infused wine. The order is on it's way to your chambers sir, if there's nothing else we will remain at our post." Clicking off the comms I fixed a smoldering stare upon Claire. Her luscious curves filled out the set of ivory silk nicely. Moving over towards her I said "How about a view of the stars and dinner in bed love?" Scooping her up I gently laid her down on my bed and joined her in bed. There was a delivery lift that'd bring food up to the star deck with us, triggering the antigravity lift to bring my bed up and through the iris in the ceiling I heard it lock in place and the anti-grav lift disengage. The wood flooring here had heating tiles under the planks of wood I'd also cut and fitted here.

There was a gas fireplace over towards the far end of the room and triggering controls on my bedside I felt the bed sliding over towards the fireplace and triggered it to life. Outside of the fireplace this room was completely dark save for the light of the stars. "So cya'rika are you content to simply lay here with me and have a decent meal? I can still parade about in naught but my skin if you'd prefer...."

"Bantha steak and salad that's what you made the first time we meet. You remember right the pirates." I remembered vividly it lived in myr memory and every once in a while it woke up and reminded me of how violent people could be. It seemed like yesterday.

"I love the stars, and a view would be perfect." I hadn't had very much of a time to react when he scooped me up all I could do at the moment was admire him in profile. The shape of his nose, the fullness of his lips, and his jet black hair the muscles in his arms flexed and corded as he held me tightly. For no reason other than I wanted to I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Oh...temptations that you offer my dear. Stars, you in your birthday suit and me just gazing and approving of every move..." I let out this deep sigh, "dinner sounds good though. Hospital food is not my favorite thing to eat. I don't recommend it cyar'ika." I watched him always I couldn't help it he just..always seemed to hold my attention.

"You can tell me what adventures you have had since we were last together." and then if I had a bit of courage I would tell him what I've been doing, and how it would affect my life. It was going to be quite a different path from what I had been on, but ...I would never stop designing but this new path would help me create and it was something I genuinely liked learning.

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

Laying down in bed finally the fire began heating the room, Claire's comment about hospital food brought a wry smile to my lips. "No hospital food is definitely not the best. I had to eat it for about two weeks after the fight on Corellia. Losing blood like I did and taking a sword through the chest tends to have a way of slowing you down." I'd told the doctors to use only medicine that would heal the internal injuries. So the scar from Five's sword directly through my left pectoral and through my shoulder remained....I'd taken the hit and run him through at the same time except mine had been upward at an angle through his black heart. I'd decapitated him not even a full two seconds later.

"I almost died earning the title of Prince of Corellia." Just as I was about to continue that though food arrived through the floor in a heated platter. Pirates indeed had been what brought Claire and I together.... "As far as what has happened since then....mostly I've been trying to build the Silver Shadows numbers back up. I've been more busy with recovering ancient Jedi relics and staying out of the public eye as much as I can with my rank having been restored..."

"How about those maps and star-charts I saw in that hospital room cya'rika? Planning on going to abandoned places to find yourself?"
I gathered up the plates and brought one to her in bed complete with silverware. The tattoos on my back probably were beginning to shine with soft mint green ink. Starllight and solitude brings clarity. Inked across across my shoulders there were several others though. My left ribs bore a clan symbol of Echani, Mandalorian and Corellian mixed into one.

Kissing Claire's lips as I gave her her plate I slid back into bed with her and rested my plate across the sheets. Hopefully we could resit each other at least until after dinner and conversation....

​

"Though the chest?" I immediately cast my gaze to his chest looking for the point of entry I couldn't help but reach over and put my hand on the scar. He could have died I wanted to yell at him. But I couldn't. That look on his face as he recanted what had happened I saw it there, that pride he took in regaining his place, his title, his honor how could I possibly yell at him about something like that.

I had to admit it though if he had died I would feel a great loss.

"ancient relics?" He said something that had my attention. Now that sounded like fun, sounded like...an adventure.

Public eye. yeah I got that..."being in the public eye isn't always what it's cracked up to be my dear. Stay out of it if you can." Yes...she knew it too well...and she had grown accustomed to it but it could eat people alive and leave nothing but bones. Public life was equal to the devourer of souls.

Ah he noticed everything, "I've been taking courses and studying archeology and a little geology. I want to find history, find things, learn from them...restore them where I can. I think it will also help with my designs, ancient, older forms of dress, find a new way to bring it back. Make it popular something like that." I smiled not that design wasn't fun but I just felt like I needed to do more.

I couldn't help but notice the tattoos. They work work of art and the symbols all meant something to him, and to his life. I knew something that maybe he didn't there were time I absolutely adored and loved him. This was one of those times. He was as he was before kind, gentle, giving, attentative and so much more that who wouldn't want to just share with him everything they had.

Sighing, "Cyar'ika even with the scars, you body is still a work of art" Yeah I said it, it was true...so why not say it.

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

Listening to Claire ask about ancient relics I nodded my head and said "Quite a few places in the galaxy that have yet to be fully explored worlds like Kasshyyyk, Manaan, even Corellia." I let the insinuation sit there too, turned out one of the places on her star-charts had been in the area of space as Corellia our people had blocked the coordinates for years though and I never knew why myself. Could be interesting...

She talked about keeping out of the public eye and I smiled gently. "I sliced your signature and had you out of a hospital without anyone knowing. Being in the public eye is something I only do when I want to." Pausing as I took a bite of my steak I heard Claire say my body was a work of art. I finished chewing then swallowed before speaking again.

"Yours is too m'love, those curves....By The Force...."

"Artemis set course for Corellia. In transit decrypt any coordinates that were scrambled by government agencies and plot them against the coordinates of the star-chart Claire brought aboard." There was a short chirp and I looked back to Claire. Dinner, a bottle of wine, and her in my arms. Perfection, another adventure was unfolding...
