Another one?

[Daniel Imura]

Daniel walked the length of Taris, looking around for something interesting to do. Carrying his customized pistol, Icebreaker on one side, and his thundergun on the other, he doubted anyone would be stupid enough to try and mess with him. Since meeting his brother Nick, he'd tried to make it a point to branch out more. He knew there were others related to his bloodline out there somewhere, whether by actual blood or not. It only made sense. His heritage was one of power, and who wouldn't be interested in that? Morna Imura had started it all, by becoming one of the best, if not the best fire shaper ever known. Having the shaper's blood in him, Daniel intended to make the legacy live on, by becoming the greatest ice shaper the galaxy has ever known. The Imuras could very well turn out to be a galaxy superpower. Soon, the man found himself walking into a small cantina. Ordering a drink, he sat down at the bar and took a sip. Perfect temperature, surprisingly. Still, out of habit, he frosted the glass lightly.

Tera walked down the street with a bright smile that reached all the way to her sea blue eyes. The weather was so nice today! She'd only been on Taris for a few days, and it had mostly been raining. But today, the sun was shining and the sky was blue with white puffy clouds sailing lazily through it. It was the kind of day that made Tera feel like she was back home on Naboo.​

​

She began thinking about what she wanted to do. Shopping? No. Nickolas, her new parental guardian, had only given her so many credits to spend for this outing. He was a very nice man if you were on his good side. She was grateful for that. Maybe the park? There could be flowers there. That was always pleasant to think about. With the soft breeze gently stirring her coppery-brown hair, Tera neared the entrance to a bar. The door was wide open because of the nice weather.​

​

Tera would never go into one (She was underage, after all!), but she did sometimes look inside them as she passed them out of curiosity. She was doing this when, just for a moment, she locked eyes with someone. It was a very young, very attractive young man. He seemed slightly familiar.... This sensation only lasted for a moment. She quickly looked away and continued walking, embarrassment seeping into her.​

As he continued to drink his beverage, Daniel felt a small twinge in the force rush past the cantina's opening. It seemed to sit still for a moment, then continue on. Looking at the entrance, he noticed that whatever was there, had left just as quickly. However, it did interest him greatly. He hadn't felt many force users on the planet. Setting his drink down, he dropped a few credits on the bar and walked out, trying to find where the presence had gone off to. It was similar to his in some ways, in terms of sensibility, but had a slightly much lighter aura to it. Walking through the crowds, he did the best he could at sniffing out the person who had passed earlier. Soon enough, he tracked it to a young girl, very beautiful compared to what he'd seen in the past. Letting loose a low whistle to himself, he started over. Two force users in a crowd; what would happen? As Daniel drew nearer to the girl, he hoped his somewhat darker signature wouldn't scare her off, but he doubted it would. He studied her face, which seemed to hide a certain amount of strength behind the child-like innocence. Once he was close enough, he spoke up. "Beautiful planet, isn't it?"

[Tera Kingsley]

This had to be the luckiest day of her life! Tera had only walked a block or so away from the bar, and low and behold, the same man she'd seen inside was coming up to her. She took a moment to gather herself and keep herself from squealing excitedly as he approached her.​

​

She smiled brightly at him. "Yeah! I love this weather. So much that I just had to head for the park. There's been too much rain lately, so I don't want to waste the sunshine."​

​

An internal voice reminded Tera to keep from babbling. A habit she often obtained when she was nervous or excited.​

Daniel chuckled at the girl's immediate enthusiasm, but had to console himself for a second. 'That damn smile', he thought. It was enough to light up a room the moment she walked in. That was just a guess, of course. When she mentioned her going to the park, he nodded with a smile of his own. "That we can agree on. It does rain a bit too much sometimes." Starting to walk in that direction with the idea that she would follow, he couldn't help but sense a familiar taint in her light force signature. The taint of an Imura. Nickolas, specifically. He'd met this girl, and didn't tell Daniel? Oh, he'd have some explaining to do.

[Tera Kingsley]

Tera smiled wider, if that was even possible. She walked beside him with the smallest bounce in her step. Her hands were clasped behind her back, she glanced over at him every few minutes. They walked in silence for about a block before she decided to speak up.​

​

"So, my name's Tera. What about you?"​

​

[member="Daniel Imura"]​

 

[Daniel Imura]

"I'm Daniel. Nice to meet you, Tera." Daniel culdn't help but to chuckle to himself when he saw the way she was walking, all happy-like. Either she was genuinely happy to have someone to talk to, or there was something going on that she had an attraction to him. Either way, he was glad to have a little company as well. As they walked through the park, he looked around a bit. "So, Tera, what's a girl like you doing in a place like this? You trying to have a beauty contest with nature?" He smirked lightly at his own joke.

[member="Tera Imura"]

 

[Tera Kingsley]

"Not really. I'm pretty sure I'd lose!" Tera laughed a little. "I'm here because... Well... I just love nature. The way the flowers are always so different, the way the leaves on the trees change with each season. Even the way the grass feels on my skin."​

​

She looked out at the park around them. Dandelions and buttercups and roses and tulips and butterfly bushes and violets and baby's breath... Tera made a mental note of every plant she knew, and then the ones she didn't know yet. She wanted very much to touch them...​

​

She looked back to the path ahead of her and Daniel. Oh, an ice cream stand! That would be perfect! She pulled out the small pouch that contained her allowance from Nickolas.​

​

"Hey, I think I'm gonna get some ice cream! You want any?"​

​

[member="Daniel Imura"]​

 

[Daniel Imura]

Daniel smiled as the girl went on to talk about flowers. She seemed to know a lot about nature, and had a real passion for it. In fact, her entire personality seemed full of light. At the mention of an ice cream stand, she piped up once more, asking if he wanted any, and pulling out some credits. Smiling again, he made a motion for her to put her money away. "Sure, but only if I pay." Smiling to himself, he walked over to the stand, ordering one chocolate cone, and one of whatever Tera had chosen. After paying the man, he took a bite of his, smiling at the taste.

[member="Tera Imura"]

 

[Tera Kingsley]

He was even paying?? Could this day get ANY BETTER??? Tera held her mint chocolate-chip cone, licking it happily. "Thank you! You really didn't have to. I mean, I'm a stranger and all! But thanks still!" She chirped.​

​

As they continued walking, she eventually saw a spot that she just couldn't resist to sit in. A wide expanse of grass that was covered with little wildflowers called her like sirens to the rocks. She sat down on her knees, captivated by all the tiny blooms around them. So captivated in fact that she almost forgot that Daniel was with her.​

Daniel laughed and shook his head at the young girl, as he continued to eat his ice cream. He'd only had it a few times since his creation, but when he did, it was delightful. The perfect blend of creaminess and cold. And man, did he love the cold. He often wondered if he could make it himself, using his skills in water shaping. As they sat down, He looked onward with her at the expanse of flowers, watching as her face filled with curiosity and wonder. Deciding to speak up then, he asked, "So, anyone with you? Or are you just by yourself?" It was a fair question, at least in his eyes. If she had somewhere to be, he wouldn't want to keep her, when someone could be looking for her.

[Tera Kingsley]

Tera shook her head. "Nope, I'm on my own today. My guardian gave me some money and said I could do something fun, so I decided to come here. What about you?" She replied, looking over at Daniel. He probably did really important adult things, like working in an office or for the military or something. She didn't want him to be late if he was just on his lunch break or an R&R period.​

​

[Daniel Imura]

Guardian? Well that was something. "I'm on my own as well. Trying to find my way in the galaxy, and all that good stuff. It's pretty funny, since I just met my brother for te first time recently..." He mused on about that for a moment. Brother. That technically was his relationship to Nick, having Morna's blood and all. It was strange though. He still had visions of Morna's life, and it was mainly because of that, that he viewed the other as his sibling. What was even crazier than that, was that he had no idea that his brother and this girl's guardian were the same person. Looking at Tera then, he realized she probably thought he was supposed to be doing something. "Oh, you think I'm working? No. Not yet, anyway. I'm hoping to start up a company to help my brother out. Might as well make myself useful. After all, I am an Imura."

[member="Tera Imura"]

 

[Tera Kingsley]

At the mention of Imura, Tera looked at him, genuinely surprised. "You're an Imura? My guardian's an Imura! Do you know a guy named Nickolas?" What were the odds of meeting another Imura in such a short amount of time? Wait, did that mean Nick was his brother? And what if he could do the whole fire thing, too? This was kind of awesome!​

​

[member="Daniel Imura"]​

 

[Daniel Imura]

Daniel's eyes widened when Tera mentioned Nick's name. Since when did he pick up a girl, and declare himself her guardian? Deciding t speak up, rather than sit there looking dumbfounded, he answered her question. "He's my brother, actually. And I think i'm gonna have t pummel him for picking up such a beautiful little thing like you without telling me." Was he flirting? Sure, maybe. But it had to come out eventually. He didn't even know how old she was. That made him think, however. Was it technically pedophilia if he was really only five years old? Sure, he had the body of a man five times his age, but he'd only been created recently. Of course, she didn't have to know that. "How'd you and Nick wind up meeting?"

[member="Tera Imura"]

 

[Tera Kingsley]

Tera blushed a little bit when Daniel said she was pretty. Her smile faded a bit when he asked how she and Nick had met, however. "Well... He was there. The day my parents....." She looked down for a moment. She didn't really like to talk about that day. "He saved me, because he knew that I lost everything. He gave me a home. There isn't a thing in this Galaxy that I could ever give to repay him for it."​

​

[member="Daniel Imura"]​

 

[Daniel Imura]

Daniel nodded, understanding. She didn't have to say much at all, for he'd gone through the same thing. Well, Morna had. The memory still flashed in his head from time to time; the Sith that struck down his parents. Morna had never been quite the same since then. Daniel imagined that Nick got his love of family from his older brother. It made sense. After all, once you lose something, you remember how precious it was to you. "Well, look at it this way. We're family. I know Nick, and he can be protective of his family. And me, well, i'll make sure nothing bad happens to you. Deal?" He offered his hand to the girl, giving her a small smile.

[member="Tera Imura"]

 

[Tera Kingsley]

Tera looked back at Daniel for a moment. She'd never really consider herself a full-blooded Imura. Probably because she really wasn't one. But even if she couldn't see the new people in her lives as her brothers or sisters, she'd still see them as the clostest friends she'd ever have. She gave him a small smile in return, placing her hand in his. "Deal. Oops!" Tera acidentally let her ice cream melt onto her hand. Ew! Not to mention it was really embarrassing!​

[member="Daniel Imura"]​

 

[Daniel Imura]

Daniel chuckled a little as the ice cream began to trickle down Tera's hand, making a large mess of it. However, for no apparent reason, it began to slide back up to its original position, looking just like it had minutes before. If Tera looked at Daniel then, she'd see a small grin on his face. No, he didn't have anything to do with fire when it came to shaping, but what he could do was so much cooler. Literally. As soon as the ice cream was intact once more, he began acting like he had nothing to do with it. "Oh, how'd that happen?"

[member="Tera Imura"]

 

[Tera Kingsley]

Tera's lips parted a little, her eyes widening as the melted ice cream became whole again, like it ha just been scooped. She looked to Daniel, speechless for a moment. "Wait.... Can you....? I mean, do you know how....?" She didn't really know how to ask this kind of question. If he was a normal person, then he might get seriously freaked out if she told him what she could do. But something about him told her he wasn't normal. It wasn't just because he was Nick's brother, either. It was like.... a feeling or something.​

​

she reached down and picked a flower that had yet to bloom. She held it out for Daniel to see, her palm open upward with the plant in the center of it. It suddenly shifted so that the part of the stem that had been separated from the roots was touching her skin. Without anything touching it, the bloom opened to reveal a little blue flower. "You can do something like this, too?" Tera asked anxiously.​
