At the Nar Shadda Bar, yet again (Open to All)

[Icarus]

"Captain Icarus. 87th Spec Ops Squad of the First Order." He spoke in a sort of boastful tone as he sipped at his drink.

[Kenrath]

Cole looked at [member="Thalia Kaia"] with a smile.

"So did things just get awkward or is it just me."

He glanced back at the Trooper smirking at the death stare.

"What did I kill a friend of yours or something?"

He paused listening to the exchange between [member="Icarus"] and [member="Evelyn Yara"]. When the Trooper introduced himself Cole chuckled with a nod.

"A Spec Ops Trooper....and a Captain at that." "Explains the cold shoulder."

He looked between the so called Hutt and the Trooper. He pulled out a small stack of credits and extended them towards the bartender.

"Give the Bad mother fether and the sarcastic hutt a round on me."

Cole turned back to Thalia offering an apologetic smile sipping his drink.

"So Thalia what is it you do for a living if you don't mind me asking?"

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"I'm a smuggler and you?" She says completely ignoring the captain and the sarcastic lady there beside her and smiling her signature single dimpled smile at Cole

[member="Cole Dagos"]

 

[Icarus]

He had a confused look on his face. Did he just buy him and the bounty hunter a drink?

"Uh... thanks."


[member="Cole Dagos"]

 

[Evelyn Yara]

Evelyn greedily grabbed up the drink without so much as acknowledging Cole. She kept her eyes focused, narrowed, on the Trooper as she took her first long sip.

"Spec Ops, yeah?" she said setting the glass back down. "And what does that entail?"

[member="Icarus"]
[member="Cole Dagos"]

 

[Icarus]

"We are the insane ones that go into battle first, then come out last. Tougher than those Flametroopers...." He finished the second drink in a single swig.

[member="Evelyn Yara"]

 

[Kenrath]

Cole shook his head at [member="Icarus"] with a smile.

"Don't mention it."

Turning back to [member="Thalia Kaia"] glancing at the adorable single dimple smile.

"I was a Soldier stationed on Carida before returning to Eshan after................."

Cole paused clearly not wanted to speak about the attacks on Carida at the hands of the former Prime Minister by the way his eyes darted away before he sighed and focused back on her.

"...............well some unpleasant memories." "Now the Eshan Royal family has me playing bodyguard for a former Senator making rounds through the Supreme Chancellor and a few Senators."

He took a sip of his drink.

"Seems Supreme Chancellor Sparrow didn't like Eshan leave the Republic and the Queen is willing to hear good reason why Eshan should rejoin the Republic."

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Thalia listened and looked at him with knowing eyes and continued smiling at him "I see let me buy you a drink. Bartender give this man whatever he wants."

[member="Cole Dagos"]

 

[Kenrath]

"Hey I thought I was the one buying the drinks here?"

Cole put on a fake look of utter offense at the notion before he broke back into the smile.

"How bad does it make me look you buying me drinks instead of the other way around?" "It ruins the date that is totally not a date and makes me look cheap." "I assure oyu I don't need the help making me look bad."

His tone was playful as he sipped his drink looking back at her.

"Besides it is only tea...........I don't drink it dulls the senses."

[Evelyn Yara]

Evelyn perked up an eyebrow. She didn't have a lot of experience dealing with First Order troops, but she's heard the stories.

"First ones in, first ones out, huh? I hear not a lot gets your way. Nothing really. Not Republic, not Jedi, not even whole civilian populations, you know? Those unarmed civilians must be a real tough nut to crack. But hey, all in a day's work, right?"

[member="Icarus"]

 

[Icarus]

"It's more than you think, sugar. We usually do more fighting than the regular shinies. Poor blokes..." He orders another drink, sipping from the freshly poured ale.

[member="Evelyn Yara"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"What if I were to do this?" She asks and leans in kissing him on the cheek

[member="Cole Dagos"]

 

[Kenrath]

The quip made about the Republic and unarmed civilians being a tough nut to crack rubbed him the wrong way. Cole didn't know the First Order from any other government in the Galaxy but he knew Soldiers. While he didn't know this particular soldier from any other he knew how and why they did what they did. Murderers attacked unarmed civilians............soldiers didn't especially spec ops soldiers.

Cole was about to say something when [member="Thalia Kaia"] leaned in and kissed his cheek.

Cole closed his eyes for a brief second before he reached up running his hand through her hair before resting at the base of her neck. He looked at her his eyes saying more even as his words didn't.

"Kind of forward of you isn't it.......you barely know me."

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"No I don't think so but if it's too much I can stop" Kisses his cheek again loving him brushing his hand through her hair

[member="Cole Dagos"]

 

[Evelyn Yara]

"If you can call it fighting. Some may call it war crimes," Evelyn sighed. Why was she picking a fight with a random First Order officer in some less-than-glamorous bar on Nar Shaddaa. This wasn't like her, she knew it. She knew better than to talk. This missed bounty must have been affecting her more than she would have liked.

"But they probably had it coming, or something. Enjoy your drink, officer."

[member="Icarus"]
[member="Cole Dagos"]

 

[Kenrath]

Cole closed his eyes again at the second kiss his hand never moving from her neck. As she started to pull away he whispered.

"Yes it's too much......."

Even as he said it he found himself pulling her in softly kissing her lips a soft lingering kiss filled with desire.


[member="Thalia Kaia"]

 

[Icarus]

He rolled his eyes at the bounty hunter, turning to the two... wait. Are they kissing? It's only been five karking minutes and they're already kissing?!

[member="Cole Dagos"]
[member="Evelyn Yara"]
[member="Thalia Kaia"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

His kiss took Thalia by surprise but she didn't pull away from his soft lips she just stayed there in the moment

[member="Cole Dagos"]
[member="Icarus"]

 

[Icarus]

The young Captain rolled his eyes once more, paying attention to his drink and his scuffed helmet.

[member="Thalia Kaia"]
[member="Cole Dagos"]

 

[Evelyn Yara]

Evelyn followed the captain's eyesight to the couple making out right next to her. She turned back to Icarus with large eyes, "Whoa. That was quick." she laughed a bit. "A bit awkward now, huh?" she said with a half-smile to Icarus.
