Check Yes, Juliet

[Allyson Locke]

BORLEIAS PORT: MID AFTERNOON
Allyson waited for the security team to do a sweep of her ship. Borleias was always an annoyance to travel to, but it was worth it in the end. She sat there with her arms crossed, her forearm tapped up along with a bandaid over her right cheek. Before leaving one of the last planets on her run she had to step up and protect her shipment from leeches. They usually waited to sneak off with any shipment that wasn’t kept an eye on, unlucky for them Allyson isn’t the type to leave her ship unoccupied unless she had to.

“Any messages?” Allyson looked towards the droid beside her and he made a few sad beeps and projected a big fat goose egg on her screen. Tilting her head, she sighed, maybe she shouldn’t have come back to Borleias, she hadn’t contacted Kaili in a few weeks mostly because she had tied up and had no access to the comm. Then to top off the situation, some stowaway most likely damaged her commline with the ship. It was already difficult enough to deal with getting messages from Rekali clan. Though there was Bait who should have been sending messages whenever they got into port. Narrowing her eyes at the droid she quickly remarked. “You sent the messages and videos right?” The droid looked at Allyson and then to the panel in front of him. His body locked up as he went through his files and then zipped away.

“YOU LITTLE!” Allyson stood up from her chair and chased the droid who was making several beeps apologizing for his lack of memory. “ILL FRY MORE THAN YOUR MEMORY CORE!” Bait was too quick and Allyson lost him as he zipped down into the cargo hold. Standing in the middle of it, she sighed softly. “Bait, you know how she worries…” Another beep of an apology echoed in the hold and Allyson rested her hand against her temple, “I know buddy we’ll get the ship’s link fixed while we’re here and everything will be okay.” The security team moved to Allyson and discussed a few things, she handed over any necessary paperwork and she was approved to leave and roam the planet. “Bait I’m heading to Kaili’s come on.” The droid zipped around locked up and the both got into a taxi to head towards Kaili’s shop.

Allyson wondered if she should have messaged the girl, but after not writing for the past few weeks during her 6 week or so absence seemed a bit odd. Yet, she was going to show up unannounced. Shrugging, Allyson prepared herself, mostly to be launched into a tree or something else. She remembered the bit of her temper during the competition. Gulping, she looked over at Bait and sighed. “She has a temper remember? This might not go as good as I hope.” Still Allyson smiled and waited in the taxi till it arrived. Despite the possibility of getting utterly destroyed by the Force Master, Allyson was still excited to see Kaili. It had felt like a millennium since she had seen the blonde.

Bait zipped off out of the taxi while Allyson slung her pack onto her back and headed towards the door. Taking a deep breath, she pressed the little buzzer to announce her presence to the shop keeper, looking up at the sky she groaned seeing that the sun was already setting – if only Borleias Plantary Security was just a few hours faster. Using the shiny parts of the shop door, Allyson fixed her brunette hair. She looked like a typical Corellian with, just a bit more spunk to her. Nerves coursed through her body as she waited for the door to open. [member="Kaili Talith"] was probably engrossed in something though, so Allyson figured she’d probably be waiting for a while.

 

[Kaili Talith]

It had been six weeks with nothing but the same ol’. Droids and repairs, customers and inappropriate requests. Except for maybe Loske, but she was by all means an exception. She was arms deep within the process of putting the last few details of the new BB-R2 unit’s parts into place. A task that seemed just a little more complicated than Kaili had anticipated. The first few weeks had proven bearable, Allyson had checked in on regular occasion and as often as she could. Meanwhile Kaili had done the same while trying to make as many jokes as she could about how incredibly mundane her life was.

Only, that all stopped rather abruptly the last few weeks. Kaili thought little of it at first, figuring the messages were all getting lost in a skip zone, but once a week and a half had passed she began to worry. And when Kaili worried she worried. An uneasy knot had settled itself in her stomach, but she worked her way through it. Quite literally. The prototype droid that she was designing had become her escape from all of the worries and troubles that came with aligning yourself to someone as Kaili did.

She knew better, but it was hard not to. She cared, but maybe some would argue she cared too much. If there even was such a thing.

With a hydrospanner deep in the rear end of the as of yet unnamed droid Kaili began to feel a certain presence approach at the back of her mind. The force tingled, her knot seemed to tighten. The buzzer rang and with no haste she boosted herself with the force to open the door.

It was Allyson.

Hands reached out for her jacket. A violent tug forced the Corellian closer to Kaili who proceeded to kiss Allyson. It was a way to make her understand exactly how much the Borleian youth had missed her.

Or well, not quite.

Once enough timed had passed, once Kaili would feel the two of them relax, she reached behind her back and proceeded to quickly plant the palm of her hand across Allyson’s cheek in a slap.

“I’ve been so worried!” She exclaimed before she pulled Allyson closer again, in a hug this time. “I was starting to think you had died. Or worse.”

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

The door slid open and Allyson came face to face again with Kaili Talith. She hesitated, but the blonde didn’t. Hands grasped her jacket and she was tugged forward and into a kiss. Every fear that Allyson had disappeared as she lost herself in the kiss which was something she had longed for these past 6 weeks. Before she could grab at Kaili, a hand swung and struck her in the face. Blinking, she knew she should have expected some form of punishment. No calls within the last few weeks, being gone for 6 when the original time frame was just two to four weeks.

Allyson assumed she was in deep poodoo and went to explain herself, but was quickly pulled into a hug. Her arms wrapped around the younger girl and hugged her tightly. Her concerns were in the right place, Allyson did face a few near death moments and what really kept her going was this moment right here. Seeing Kaili was the prize for surviving the things that she did. Survival meant that she could hold the girl once more for another day.

“I told you I’d always come back to you. I promised, I keep my promises.” She pulled herself out of the hug and dropped her pack at the foot of the door. Bait had recorded the slap and zipped away to watch it over and over again with binary chuckles. With the pack on the floor Allyson stood there and looked that the girl in front of her. She admired the shape of her face, the way her clothing clung onto her frame, and how adorable she was with a bit of the droid’s grease she was working with on her face. Reaching out a thumb moved against Kaili’s cheek to remove the black streak from her face. “Been busy I see.”

Allyson pulled Kaili close again, a softer kiss rested against the other girl’s lips. “I’m sorry for making you worry.” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Kaili smiled at the stroke of her chin. Her heart skipped a beat from the kiss and with that a frown slowly faded onto her face. She had been left on that hook for almost two months. Two months of living with the fact that everything had been foiled by a simple clothing mishap and time restraint. Two months of having known that Allyson’s life was always in jeopardy. From getting captured, to flogged, to killed, to maimed or assaulted.

But now here she was, and all Kaili could do was feel a wave of frustration set over her. A feeling she couldn’t quite comprehend. She wasn’t angry as much as she was deeply concerned or worried. All things considered, a very natural reaction when the person that you loved went silent for an extended period of time.

“SIX. WEEKS.” Kaili exclaimed as she dragged Allyson into her home. “Six weeks of worrying, six weeks of feeling... This!” The girl kissed Allyson again something fierce. “I’ve waited, and waited, and waited for you to come back and now here you are.”

She didn’t let go of Allyson’s jacket, she didn’t want to.

“What happened, Allyson? Why did you go silent?”

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson caught the frown as it faded onto the other girl’s face. This wasn’t going to be as warm of a welcome as she had hoped it would be. That sheepish smile she always had on when she was in trouble spread across her face as she was dragged into the Droid maker’s home. She listened while Kaili talked, there seemed to be no room for her to say anything to help her cause in the matter. Her timing was pretty awful and she knew Kaili was the type to worry. Allyson had promised at most four weeks and here she was six weeks later.

Which of course Kaili made sure that Allyson knew. Once again, Allyson tried to open her mouth and explain, then she was met with full force frustration of [member="Kaili Talith"]. The kiss began and then ended quickly and Allyson was left with fighting the urge to throw the girl over her shoulder and take her to the little capsule bed. Focus Allyson, focus, listen Allyson – remember the tree. Her mind spoke the mantra over and over again making sure that she focused on what Kaili was saying and not what she wanted to do. Then it was her time to speak.

“Everything was good, until I went to Coruscant, there I ended up picking up a Stowaway that wanted to lodge himself in the ships underside. Which is where most of my comm stuff is located. That went down, but before that I picked up an undercover job – for some crime boss lord thing.” Trying her best not to mention the really dangerous parts, she continued to smile that sheepish ‘please don’t be mad at me smile’ and told her story. “Towards the end, some guy ratted me out and I had to get out of that situation. Laying low I couldn’t make any contact mostly because if they found my trail they would hurt me and the person I’m talking to.” Allyson shook her head. “I couldn’t give them a reason to come find you.”

Allyson felt Kaili continue to hold on to her, there was something that was comforting with her desire to keep a hold on her. Sighing softly, Allyson tilted her head and her smile turned into a sly grin. “What is this, ‘this’ you’re referring to?” Playing dumb was fun, especially since she wanted Kaili to say it. Leaning forward, her hands moved down the girl’s back and rested at her waist. Finger tips played teasingly at the end of her shirt. This time, if it went back to how they left after those three days, Allyson would undress Kaili – to avoid any mishaps.

 

[Kaili Talith]

Kaili withheld the I-told-you-so’s. She had told Allyson to not go to Coruscant, and Kaili couldn’t help but tug just a little extra at the woman’s jacket at the mention of going undercover. She knew Allyson’s job was dangerous, but that didn’t mean she had to like it. She placed her cheek on Allyson’s chest to seek comfort, to hug her tighter and to hold back the rants of worry. What was she doing entangled with people that would hunt Kaili down? Part of her wanted to know, though she most likely already knew. When the two of them had been at the mob-run factory she had sensed the same sort of anxiety shared between both herself and Allyson.

“I don’t know.” Kaili muttered as she kept herself pressed against Allyson. “We’ve been separated for so long, I never got to...”

“I love you, Allyson.” Kaili whispered as she eased up. Eyes moved up to stare into the hazel hues that had stolen her. “But you know damn well what I mean with ‘this.’”

A hand slid up against the Corellian’s waist, slipped underneath the fabrics of Allyson’s jacket and gently began to lift it off of her shoulders. Kaili had waited for the opportunity to retry what she had mucked up so long ago, at a point when their relationship had been cemented as something more shallow than a three-day flirt, and after four weeks of daily updates, playful teasing and genuine worry it had all built up to the point where the young woman had not a single doubt in her mind where it would go next.

And they were just a few more steps away from it. Kaili stood ever so slightly on her toes and moved her lips up against Allyson’s again.

“We’ve both been waiting for six weeks and three days for this.”

Because Kaili hadn’t been counting. Not at all.

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson closed her eyes as she felt Kaili pull off her jacket, she wanted this just as much as the other girl, but something told that this was her first rodeo. A smile cracked across Allyson’s face as she listened to Kaili explain herself and state the time they had been separated. There was a fond memory attached to the last time they tried this and Allyson helped shrug off her jacket. A hand reached out and rubbed the side of Kaili’s head where the bump had formed from her last futile attempt to take her shirt off. Allyson mused and nodded at the situation presented to her, “And 18 hours.” Allyson wasn’t counting either.

“I love you too…Kaili” With the jacket off, Allyson stole control from Kaili and returned her hands to the girl’s slender waist. She was going to take her shirt off mostly to avoid the situation that had stopped them the last time they had tried for this. Fingers pressed against the fabric grasping it, Allyson fought the urge just to rip it off and delicately lifted it from the girl’s waist and over her head. Allyson had to catch her breath as she looked on at her half opened welcome home present. Her mind went a mile a minute, forgetting the slow tempo she was trying to keep. Hands reaching back out and pulling Kaili at her waist dragging her back close to Allyson.

Lips crashed into each other and hands roamed against her body, Allyson trying her best to memorize quickly the shape of the girl curves. Stepping forward Allyson guided Kaili to the nearby wall, pressing against her as a hand moved to her chin. The deep liplock continued as that same hand slowly ran down the girl’s frame, neck to waist stopping there and threatening to go lower. The kiss broke and Allyson began to pay close attention to the blonde’s neck with tender kisses and loving nibbles. [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Kaili smirked as Allyson rubbed at the spot in which she once had a bump that lasted for a week. The mishap that had caused the two of them to settle for something less exciting as a means of entertainment before their inevitable farewells. The fact that Allyson Allyson would know the approximate hour for it, or joked about it, turned the smirk into a full-blown grin. At least until a hand was swept along the side of Kaili’s waist. Her arm twitched from the tickling sensation but she fought against it. She raised her arms for the ceiling as her shirt was lifted and discarded on the floor.

They interlocked once more. Kaili’s back was against the wall. Shivers traversed down her spine from the kisses, the tender nibbles at her neck. Her neck craned in delight, back arched in excited anticipation as she wrapped her arms around Allyson’s lower back. Hands grabbing at the Corellian’s shirt, Kaili strove to get it off of her back, and...

... Repeat mistake.

The shirt got stuck underneath Allyson’s chin and Kaili promptly lowered it. A half-apologetic grimacing smile spread on her lips. Her eyebrow furrowed and her stomach tried to prevent the mood from being brutally murdered again.

“Maybe you should, uhhhh,” Kaili pointed at the shirt. “Yyyyyeah.”

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Kaili tried, but it seemed the concept of shirt removal wasn’t her forte. Allyson felt the band of the neckline nearly choke her as she coughed. The enthusiasm was there, which was a good thing. The shirt lowered and Allyson rubbed her neck slightly and nodded seeing the notion that Kaili was getting at. She couldn’t let the mood die again, especially for Kaili – this was almost exactly how it stopped the last time they tried, but there was no time constriction so maybe…

A mental slap and Allyson ripped off her own shirt. No, there was no stopping this train and she knew Kaili wanted this as much as she wanted it. Though a part of her feared the moment Kaili would try and take off her pants. They would cross that bridge when it came to it. A part of Allyson wondered if it would even get that far, she hoped it would and it would suck to just let this go incomplete. With her shirt off, Allyson assaulted the blonde with a barrage of kisses, a few on the lips and then she went back to kissing along her neck and shoulder. Bodies pressed together, Allyson could feel herself melt into the girl, her own skin was on fire and she knew it was only a matter of time.

Hands ran down Kaili’s back, she moved her hands under the girl’s bottom and picked her up. The wall was only useful for some things. There was the couch, but she remembered how uncomfortable that thing was. Still, it was better than nothing. Having Kaili around her waist she kissed the girl’s chest and then found the couch. She really couldn’t see it, but she had a general idea of where it was. Carefully, she laid Kaili down onto her back and Allyson hovered over her. For some reason she stopped and looked at the blonde, she was curious about something and decided even if it made Kaili second guess what was happening – she needed to know.

“Is…is this your first time?” Allyson remembered her terrible first time and wanted to make sure that if she ever slept with someone and it was their first time, she would make it worthwhile. Her hand had stopped at Kaili’s waistband when she had remembered, she still continued with unbuckling/untying them, loosening them from her frame. [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Allyson was on fire, Kaili was on fire and together they were creating a burning inferno. Each kiss was a spark, each nibble an ember. Bodies squeezed together and Kaili could almost feel her partner’s heartbeat against her own. They were heading in the right direction, and with Allyson taking charge there was no longer any denying that what the two of them felt for each other. Kaili knew no other woman that she’d love like Allyson or care for to the same degree. To her there was only Allyson, their relationship and this very moment.

The kisses grew more and more ferocious. Her exposed back touched against the seemingly soft leathers of the couch. The cold send another shiver down her spine and she propped herself up on her elbows to stare deep into the eyes of Allyson as she towered above her. She nodded her head to Allyson’s question before moving up for another kiss. The pants had come undone and Kaili let her toes grab a hold of her pant leg. They pulled and pulled, yet once more she found herself at an inconvenient imposition as the legs refused to round her heels.

Her legs sprattled until eventually she just sighed quietly inwards and gave it up.

An actual sigh -- a sigh of excitement -- parted Kaili’s lips as she leaned back into the couch proper.

“Freaking clothes.” Kaili whispered to Allyson. “Not even once.”

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson watched the struggle and stifled a small chuckle. The girl was trying so hard to help get herself undressed. Giving Kaili a chance to struggle and give up Allyson shook her head and grasped the pants at Kaili’s waist. Before pulling them off, Allyson burned the image of a frustrated Kaili into her mind, she would remember this for the rest of her life. “Alright” It was all she said answering the answer that Kaili had given her. This was Kaili’s first time doing anything like this. The smuggler felt somewhat guilty at the matter, but she wanted it so bad.

While the waist band of the pants lingered against Kaili’s body, Allyson crawled on top of her the best she could on the couch. Leaning forward she pressed her weight into the other girl, then proceeded to kiss her along her neck. She avoided the other girl’s lips for the time being as her lips continued to make their way from Kaili’s jaw line to the middle of her chest. She continued downward as her lips caressed the other girl’s body. Pausing Allyson stopped once more. This was the point of no return, after this Kaili wouldn’t be able to go back. “Are…are you sure about this?”

Allyson whispered to the girl as she waited for an answer. This was her first time, Allyson didn’t’ want to push forward in case there was some doubt in Kaili’s mind. Allyson wanted to avoid any sour moments between them and if Kaili felt forced with this, she wouldn’t know what to do to make it better. Hands still in the loops of Kaili’s pants she continued to work them down the girl’s frame. Each leg was pulled from the pant leg.

Awaiting the answer, Allyson tossed the pants aside and climbed back on top of Kaili and looked into those orange hues that seemed ablaze from everything that was happening. Fingertips caressed the blonde’s thighs as Allyson forced herself to wait for the answer and the final green light from Kaili. [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

There was nothing that would ruin this. Kaili had prepared herself for this moment for weeks, the part where she and Allyson intertwined, became one, or any other deep quote that she could steal from the back of a holoflick. The kisses went from her neck and only went lower until eventually it stopped. Allyson double checked with Kaili again and the girl couldn’t help but perk her brow and smile.

“I’ve never been more sure of anything.” Kaili whispered back. First time or not, it was still going to happen eventually. If it wasn’t now it’d be tomorrow, but not any later than that. Kaili would make sure of it. The two gazed into each other’s eyes again and a hand ran up and down Kaili’s thigh. Her legs twitched from the tickling sensation of fingertips on skin until eventually Kaili lifted herself up to kiss Allyson again.

“Now please, less talking.” The young woman whispered with a grin growing on her lips.

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Six weeks was a good amount of time to think about this and she figured that’s what Kaili did the entire time. It was unfortunate that they had the shirt mishap, but it was in the end probably a good thing. Rushing things like this was never good, or so she had heard especially if there were emotions involved. The words and the kiss was enough to convince Allyson that Kaili wanted this more than anything and it was a welcome home that she had been looking forward to. There was no more talking and Allyson quickly removed the last bit of clothing that kept Kaili from her. Hands roamed and breathing quickened, looking up towards Kaili she smiled and smirked. “Here comes that sweet release baby…”

Probably not the smoothest of lines, but it worked for the most part.

The morning came quickly and Allyson felt as if she could sleep most of the day. She knew she wouldn’t be allowed to, so she let herself wake up. A few lazy blinks she realized her and Kaili had moved from the couch, the floor to the bed where eventually they had fallen asleep. Sleeping back to front, Allyson had a face full of messy blonde hair. Her arms wrapped tightly around the nude form of her lover, Allyson couldn’t help but nuzzle and give Kaili a loving squeeze.

As loving as she was, she was still quite the pervert. A grin and the rightly placed hand allowed her a small handful of the slightly younger girl’s chest. The grin widened as she just left her hand groping the girl she was holding, her face buried into the mess of blonde hair and she sighed softly. She could stay like this forever, nothing else mattered beyond the capsule bed and Allyson was totally okay with it. [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

And that was how Kaili showed Allyson the magnitude in which she had missed Allyson. Her eyelids weighed heavy, her entire body ached, but the sweet release had made it all worth it. She was worn out, exhausted from Allyson setting the bar on an unrealistically high level. This was the norm now. Kaili did, after all, not know of any other experience in which she could compare Allyson’s performance to. In the end Kaili had fallen into a deep slumber with loving memory of each and every single move and detail the evening, night and early morning had entailed.

Her head was planted on the soft pillow. A hand cupped her and a heart beat against her back. The heat from the night had slowly faded to the point where all that remained was the comfort of the blanket covering both the women and their bodies. Kaili opened her eyes ever so groggy as she moved her hand up towards her cheek in order to remove the ever so haunting drool. A soft chuckle emanated within the enclosed space of the capsule. The as-of-now woman turned her head and let out a satisfactory yawn.

“Mornin’.” Kaili managed to whisper. “Or at least, I think it’s morning.”

She broke free from the Corellian’s grapple in order to turn around and gaze at her. A smile spread on the young woman’s face at the sight of Allyson. She had no words. Could any of them accurately describe or explain what Kaili even felt in this moment?

No. She just remained silent.

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

“Morning Beautiful.” The words slipped from her lips so easily, the thought of having someone there the next morning was foreign to Allyson. She thought back to her past lustful excursions and realized that no one had stayed, no one was there to greet her in the morning except the shower to wash away the night before. She never felt like this, holding someone as they turned and faced her. There was never a morning after. She caught her breath for a moment as there seemed to be an unknown force pulling her closer to the woman in the arms.

Whatever it was, it made Allyson remain where she was and stare back at Kaili for a moment. A free hand moved and lightly caressed the other girl’s cheek feeling mostly to make sure that this moment was real. Her fingertips trailed down Kaili’s cheek and running over and past her lips. It was a surreal feeling and Allyson didn’t know what to do afterwards. This was new territory and it scared her partially. It was a realization that she had become Kaili’s first - she had set the standard that everyone else had to live up to with her.

Then came the thoughts of her being with someone else and Allyson whispered without thinking. “Not with anyone else…” Again words slipped out easily, it hurt her to think that someone else could share this sort of moment with Kaili. She never wanted to feel that pain, so instead she pressed her lips against the other woman’s and pulled her close as she could as they laid there. What had come over her? What was this feeling? She knew she cared for Kaili, but there was so much more now. Not fully understanding it, she figured it was because she loved her. A smile crossed her face once more as she nuzzled against her lover. “We should, probably get out of bed and shower soon...unless…” Of course Allyson wasn’t as exhausted as Kaili nor was she as sore. A hand trailed down the tender skin of the Talith girl slowly and lightly caressing the side of her waist. Hazel eyes stared, she wanted more of the girl, but it fully depended on if she could go again. “ I want you, all of you…[member="Kaili Talith"]”

 

[Kaili Talith]

It was real. Kaili grabbed Allyson’s hand as it caressed her cheek, traversed across her lips and fell to the mattress again. The warm smile on her lips would say it all, yesterday had been a huge success. They liplocked again for what felt like the billionth time over the last six hours alone. It wasn’t a bad thing. Kaili loved the woman, the woman loved Kaili. They were both entering new territory and they found it just as equally terrifying as the other. A feeling that was numbed out only by the bond that they had created between one another. Another hand slid down Kaili’s waist, coming to a halt by the hip.

Allyson wanted more, Kaili merely chuckled before whispering;

“No.” She smiled again. “Not just yet.”

Kaili kissed Allyson on the cheek before reaching for the handle to the hatch. Fingers wrapped around it she tried to force it open only to find that her strength would fail her. Kaili’s head and arm slumped down into her pillow. Her eyelids began to weigh heavy on her again. A lazy look went for the chronometer in the corner of her eye.

[ 11:23AM ]

“I had a shop to open two hours ago.” Kaili whispered into her pillow before looking over at Allyson. “So much for that.”

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson sighed, she had to try and realized she had worn out poor Kaili. It was alright. Another mention of the time and that the shop needed to be open two hours ago made Allyson feel somewhat bad, but last night was worth it all in the end. The hatch of the capsule bed remained shut as Kaili gave up on getting out of it. Kissing the girl on the forehead, Allyson reached up and did what she had attempted to do. The hatch opened and Allyson slid out and then proceeded to reach in and grab Kaili. The girl wasn’t heavy, though Allyson was more sore than she had figured. Still, she pulled Kaili out of the bed and cradled her in her arms.

“We can go back to bed after a shower…or a bath” Allyson changed her game plan up as she realized how tired and exhausted Kaili was. Heading into the refresher, Allyson realized that there was no bath there was just a shower. Sighing softly, she lowered Kaili’s feet to the ground and reached in, still holding her up and started the shower. Letting the water warm, up she continued to support Kaili’s weight. The girl was so tired, but even in this state she was still so cute.

Kissing her forehead, she dragged them both into the shower and began to clean them both up. “After this, we’ll see how you feel – you can still open the shop up there’s still time.” Allyson did her best to help Kaili clean up a bit, knowing that the girl was probably not in the mood to do much else but sleep and just exists. “I’m sorry you’re so tired…I’ll be quicker next time” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Kaili slid out of the bed like a body out of a coroner’s coffin. Standing on her two feet she embraced the Corellian’s body as tight as her current state allowed. All things considered she wasn’t tired as much as she was in a weird state of relief. Like a knot that had come untied after nearly half a decade of being strained tighter than a Muun’s purse. Sure, Kaili’s legs weren’t exactly co-operating with her, but she wasn’t about to fall over unconscious on the floor, and especially not as water started to fall like heavy raindrops on her head.

Perhaps that was why they called it a refresher. Because no matter what mood you were in, or what you were doing, it always had a way of bringing you right back to speed. The fact that she was getting lathered up by someone else in a cramped space made it all the more interesting. But, not interesting enough for Kaili to really do anything about it. Considering her current state it felt good to just have someone do all the hard work. Much like Allyson would have to expect if she wanted any sort of breakfast.

Or rather, lunch.

... Brunch.

“Cooking is on you.” Kaili yawned again. “Too tired. Your fault, you fix. Thanks.”

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson chuckled softly as she finished cleaning them both up. The refresher rinsed the soap off and then shut down. Soft towels wrapped Kaili up and Allyson dried the girl’s hair with another towel then proceeded to do the same for herself. Kissing the blonde on the cheek, she had a feeling food was going to be something she had to deal with. Kaili seemed to be stuck in the blissfulness of what happened last night and didn’t seem to desire to do anything but sleep and eat for the time being. Guiding Kaili to the sleeping quarters she smirked. “Gotta dress yourself though sorry sunshine,” Allyson stuck her tongue out and headed towards her back to pull out some clothing.

Dressing quickly she ran the towel through her wet hair again and did her best to pull it out of her face. She had no idea what the cook for brunch, she needed to make something that would fill up the girl she had utterly drained. On how tired she was, the Corellian wondered if Kaili had been eating properly while she had been away. She knew how the girl worried and with not getting the daily messages. Frowning, she tried to forget worrying her for the most part she realized her flaws with it. She needed to make sure that she

Remembering the ice cooler she had brought with her she wandered over towards the door where she would have dropped it. Kneeling down she opened the icebox and came face to face with nothing in the box. Blinking, she looked around and then saw a little binary message from Bait. Nodding her head, she headed towards the fridge and found the steaks and cheese inside. Grabbing everything along with eggs, Allyson started up the stove and began seasoning the Traladon steaks. “Kaili!? Have you ever had Corellian food?” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

It was good to see Allyson picked up on the subtlety of Kaili’s hint. The towel came off her head to expose her short mop-like hair to the world. Not really being one to dwell on it, Kaili proceeded to root around in her drawers for the rest of the clothing that she would wear. Underwear, loose tunic and whatever loose bottom she had. The shop had been closed for two hours already, there was no need to worry herself with that one. At least not for today. Today Kaili was going to just sit back in her chair and relax, contemplate life with a second player...

Speaking of which, probably dust off the game system again. Personal devices were great for gaming and all, but they had always lacked in the co-operative/competitive corner of the gaming industry. There were attempts, of course, but they had all been rather fruitless. Casuals quite simply desired a single console for all their sport and farm simulating needs. Kaili wasn’t one to complain, she still kept up with them like a madwoman.

Early adapter? Understatement.

The young woman brushed a few wet curls away from her forehead as she took her seat in the dining booth.

“Can’t say that I have.” She murmured. “Too busy picking at Borleian pineapples to really try it.”

Slow blink.

“So, we’re not getting... What was it called? Eggs Genevieve? I quite liked those.”
