Country Girl City Slicker

[Rianna Organa-Ar'klim]

Dagro not exactly a planet that would be considered a vacation spot. Alexis moved around the spaceport a bit like a cat on a hot tin roof, she had invited [member="Zander Greyson"] to come to Dagro to visit her here.

This place was part of her, and if Zander wanted to get to know her then they would need to start with the basic, the very basic. The Farm. Yes it provided a nice living for her, and yes sargheet went up and down in price, and living on a farm at times did not always have the grand appeal. But it was honest work, and everyone worked hard.

She hoped the Zander would understand why she wanted him to come here.

Zander yawned once more, turning his head to his droid pilot he hollered, "GR-2 when will we be getting there? I am so absolutely bored, its not even funny! As a matter of fact, its ridiculous!"

"Not much longer sir, in fact we are now in orbit, I am just attempting to bring the ship in for the smoothest landing I can." The droids mechanical voice emanated from ahead of him. Reclining further into his seat, Zander drew up the datapad he had left sitting before himself. Reading over Dagro once again, he was still surprised to find that the only really interesting thing the planet as a whole ever had to deal with was the Separatist base during the Clone Wars. It was an agricultural planet devoid of any real amazing qualities - well other than being the place that birthed Alexis of course, he was forced to remind himself multiple times.

As the ship slowly rotated in a downward spiral, Zander rose from his seat and threw a jacket over his body, then moved towards the rear of the craft. Pausing to wait the final few seconds, Zander gripped the railing attached to the wall to not bounce around. Then with a quick movement, opened the ramp and walked off the edge - to his droids dismay - before landing roughly 10 feet below on a low plain.

Turning around slowly he spotted a building in a distance, part of what appeared a large farm, so he began walking towards it, hands in his pockets.

Oh he was a little out of his element she could see that hands in his pockets, well hopefully she would be able to help him feel a bit more at ease. She walked towards the ship Dagro was not the busy bustle of Coruscant with all the availability of restaurants, hotels, dancing and jewelry stores. She smoothed the very typical farmers daughter pinafore she was being funny by wearing this dress.

She however smiled brightly, "Mr. Greyson I'm so very pleased that you came" This dress did the one thing that all her clothes did they fit, and accented her figure. Her figure was an asset for many reasons.

"I know this isn't Coruscant, but it is private. There are a few tolerable restaurants in town, but I'd rather prepare a meal for you. And dessert if you are up to it" She was now just a a foot from him. He was still quite the eye candy.

She reached out to touch his arm, "How was your trip?" She asked softly.

Zander smiled at her choice of attire. It was far from the dresses he had purchased for her, and yet it still did many the same things the others would; swishing with the twist of her hips, slinking and sliding with every step. It was gorgeous just to watch, let alone imagine what was beneath and out of reach. Offering his best smile, swallowed before speaking, "The slow life isnt a new thing to me hun, I was known to be very basic in the beginning.

"And my trip was boring, as all that happen during long times are. I love to see other planets, and locales, so I always bear through it. At least I didnt have to hear elevator music the whole time or anything like that." Zander offered a broader grin at his joke, then placing a hand on her lower back, but high enough to not be a sexual advance, he then gestured towards the farm, "Lead the way, if you will, or I can find my own way."

Atilla the Attila the Hun well now that was interesting, always going forward, never looking back, take no prisoners. Hmm she'd have to think on that.

She laughed elevator music, "music to calm the nerves...oh I hate elevator music its so.. so...put me to sleep and stab me kind of music" She was not one either to be bored to pieces, she liked movement. The farm was her calm though when she needed recharging, her sanctuary. Her inviting him here, was her way of inviting him to know her better. If they could survive a few days on the farm, they could survive a lot more.

She gave him a slide long glance as he spoke, and placed his hand on her. "I have no doubt that you can find your way" She looked ahead, "Well this is the farm, no animals really a few. Mostly just crops. Lots and lots of plants." Alexis laughed.

"I use to love it when I was a kid running through the fields, as I got older it just changed for me." They began walking slowly a bit leisurely. She could imagine him cooped up for too long and it wearing on his nerves, his balance.

"So I have two questions before I bore you to death with tales of Sargheet. How is your niece? and Just how basic you were in the beginning?" She couldn't help it, she had to ask.

 

[Bolt]

"Felicity? Some of my scouts tell me she ran off with some more vagabond fools, and is even beginning her training in the use of the Force." Pausing his speech, Zander thought silently on the times when he was known as Zaiden, a time before his ascent to Dark Lord of the SIth, when things were simple. He lived anywhere the wind blew him, always seeming to be in utter poverty, and yet having multiple bank accounts with millions of creds, "For a long time, I had the money to do what I wished when I wished it, and yet it was so much simpler to just keep to the low life. Sure I had the random urge to go and have a good time, and I did. Indulging urges into drugs, alcohol and all manners of splendor.

"But of course with the paths I chose, attempting to maintain a silent life was damn near impossible. So it ceased." After his words, Zander thought upon the woman next to him being a child, running and laughing through the foliage nearby. It was an adorable idea that made him smile.

"What would you say, if I told you that the idea of being around you makes me happy?" He asked suddenly, his ever present cocky attitude not caring if she disliked the thought.

[Rianna Organa-Ar'klim]

His niece was off and running again, she didn't know if that was good or bad. But he seemed to know where she was, and that may be the level of comfort he needed.

Alexis paused for a moment as she considered Zander's words. He liked being with her, even though they barely knew each other. She couldn't help but smile at him, she stopped but kept her hold on him so that he would turn to her.

"If being around me makes you happy, then stay around me for as long as it makes you happy to do so." She put her right hand to his cheek amber colored eyes looked up into his.

"You make me smile, and I can't prove it but I also think I owe you a thank you for my closet full of clothes, which I will wear till they fall off." Slowly she raised her hand from his cheek till the tips of her finger lightly touched his cheek, then his temple, till they ran through his hair.

"We have lots to talk about, we know so little of each other." She smiled just then, her lips curving upwards in a warm welcoming way.

"The farm has been in my family for a couple of generations Zander" She leaned forward and kissed him softly, then turned keeping his hand on her. "Over the ridge there's pond that's been fenced off. My father put a small gazebo there, and planted flowers for my mother. Can't really see the pond through all the flowers since they've grown up. So, I swim there on moon lit nights." She took a few steps.

"The house, its round isn't that the greatest thing, can see anyone approaching from any side." She took a few more steps keeping him close, "I cook a great breakfast too" She nodded.

"So, we had started talking about each of us having a little darkness about us. I don't mind the dark, course now I do like "bad men" " She smiled at him, "Are you a bad man Zander?"

[member="Zander Greyson"]

 

[Bolt]

"I was once," Zander murmured, eyes following her direction towards the pond, but his mind leading elsewhere: he would never be allowed respite from the memories that haunted him. He had killed well into the millions in just the battle that gathered his Undead Army, not counting the rest of his atrocities...

"One of the worst," He muttered softer, than forced a smile, "But what does my old habits have to do with with being a 'bad man'. Im bad even though I have changed." He said with an offered wink, then vanished from sight as he stepped away, his hand dropping from their touch. With his skills being on par with a weak knight, thanks to the knowledge he had on the skill of bending light to cast invisibility and therefore create-control darkness, he was sure that he would go unnoticed as he raced to the flowers.

It took but a moment, thanks to the speed addition that came from being part Vampire, before he was back and dropping his Force Cloak to appear again, "For you." He said, handing it over.

She had meant it in a teasing manner a bad man that dressed with a leather coat and dared to live outside of the norm of the galaxy. "Oh Zander" She went to explain as he disappeared.

"Now that is a neat visual, are you here or have you..........OH!" he turned back up with flowers, Alexis cooed over them, "I love flowers they're so beautiful," She looked at him, leaned forward and kissed him careful not to crush her flowers. She withdrew, "thank you Zander" she whispered.

"You make me feel spoiled, I thought only I could do that" She sighed again, "Come on let's go to the house, and see if maybe I can interest you in a midnight swim later. Can you swim Zander?"

No she didn't know him very well but he melted her heart and pushed up emotions that she had not touched in a long time.

 

[Bolt]

"I love to swim. At one time, I lived basically inside an underwater city. Of course not literally, and not like those on Naboo either. It was a recon mission to a city that was submerged on Dantooine. It became second nature to stay under for long periods." He said as he once more placed his hand on her lower back, then walked along side her towards the building ahead.

"So..what are your favorites? Color, clothing, fighting style, spell, anything you want to tell me, I want to know."

[member="Alexis Ravensclaw"]

 

[Rianna Organa-Ar'klim]

It would not be hard to get her to talk, she sometimes talked too much.

"Well where shall I start...color, blues, greens, pinks, purples, black, are my favorites which showed up in my wardrobe" She looked at him again growing more certain that he was the one that had sent the clothing. He was nearby when she went in, and out..

"Clothing, usually always fitted nothing too too long except the evening dress that I wore on Coruscant NOW that was a stunning dress to wear" She remembered how he looked very debonair very accessible.

Now she hesitated "Fighting style, I don't know that I have one. I don't use a lightsaber I've never to have one. So" She tilted her head one way then the other as she thought and they walked towards the house, "Let's leave that one open right now"

"All spells anything that provides a new skill. Make plants grow, ask the wind to blow a breeze, and Fire. I'm skilled in Fire I cannot create it but I can manipulate it." Yes she remembered learning fire from Ryn so long ago they had such fun until....well until she turned into someone she didn't know. And withdrew from them not wanting to see them or hear them any longer.

A shadow was cast on her face as her mood darkened for a moment, but then she felt the pressure of Zander's hand on her back, "I love shopping, and high end restaurants, and breakfast. So when you ordered breakfast I was like OHH !!!" She was so excited at the moment so..connected.

"Dagro is my down time this is where I relax, swim, sleep, and cook. OH yes, I love to cook..." she shook her head, "I'm going on and on tell me about you Zander, things I should know, or really what you would like me to know" It was a first date, almost a blind date so tiny steps were being taken.

"I am loyal, I believe I already told you that on our prior engagement. I am nobility, that I know I already said. Uhm... I enjoy black, blue, grey; basically any darker color as it seems to enhance the universal nature looks. In my opinion anyway. I enjoy the finer things in life, such as breakfast and lunches, sandwiches seem to be a personal favorite, while still I dine on rarest of steaks plus the fixings.

"Clothes...well I am the epitome of guy-dom when it comes to that, as pants and a shirt seem to suit me fine; but I always find myself more dressed up in the recent times. Again, black seems to be the main thing that takes up my closet, while blue is in there occasionally; as the same can be said of darkness with nature, it seems to bring out my inner looks." Zander said than smiled as they reached the door. Taking the initiative, the man opened the door for the women to lead them inside.

"I hold intense knowledge of Ataru, with a bit in Juyo and Vaapad. Sokan, while not a true style, also is among the most used in my arsenal. When it comes to Magic Spells, I always find myself more lured to those that create havoc, as why else use them if not to destroy - thus I use Tsaiwinokka Hoyakut quite a bit. Though lesser since my reincarnation." He paused again, thinking over the time when he led an army vastly filled with Zombie Rancor and Soldier alike...

"Anyway, what do you want to do next? It seems we have already given up a bit about ourselves in this excursion."

"You do not fail to amaze me, you are very accomplished very well studied a man of many talents...." She had planned some things that could be done something she enjoyed and she hoped he did too. What do we do next he asked as if he had read her mind. "I would give up more if you wanted it" She smiled invitingly.

Then she nodded, "I thought we could take out the swoop bikes, do a little racing maybe, stop for food somewhere, and then come back here for a midnight swim...that is if that all interests you." She gave him a hopeful smile.

This was like a first date seeing if they fit, seeing if this was more than a physical come and get me thing, could it be more. Was there more to talk about, to share, something to bind them to feel completed. Her amber eyes watched his face as he stood there before her thinking and revealing the things about himself that perhaps anyone already knew, but for Alexis it was all new, all interesting.

 

[Bolt]

"Swoops eh? I haven't ridden a bike since my EAG was taken out of commission..would be a blast!" Zander said with a grin, turning his gaze to the beauty next to him, "Plus food and a swim? Yep. You got me hooked. Lead the way!"

[member="Alexis Ravensclaw"]

 

[Rianna Organa-Ar'klim]

[SIZE=12pt]So swoops, lunch, swimming they were agreed. “Well I need to change my clothes, can’t ride a bike in a skirt. Come on into the house I will show you around, you can relax for a few while I change” She kept him close they at least had this in common.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]They approached the round house, “my father seemed to think it was best to go with a round house so that he could see the fields better. I have found it useful to watch the fields, and the weather. I love a good thunder and lightning storm” She drew up her shoulders as she smiled thinking of it, “they make me feel so good”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]They entered through the front door on the lower level and immediately started up the stairs as they entered they came into the living room deep rich colors of red and brown adorned the furniture. Looking past one could see into the kitchen a typical farmer’s kitchen with a butcher block and plenty of room to cook.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=12pt]“Have a seat I will be right back, the bar is over there” Alexis indicated towards the window, “have a drink” She nodded and went off to the right to her room.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]She didn’t want to seem rude so she kept talking, “I’ve had it remodeled once I inherited it, it was rather bleak when I came back” Alexis stripped off the dress as she entered the closet in her bedroom, pushing through the clothing that was neatly hung. She knew what she wanted to wear, appropriate if anything. Jeans, fitted black shirt, boots, and black bantha hide jacket.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]“There’s no staff here, when I’m here I like to do things myself” She finally found what was looking for, “aha” she announced.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]“The swoops should be ready to go, I had one of the farm hands make sure they were” She dressed rather quickly not wanting to leave him alone too long. She left her hair down, but made sure she had a hair tie to pull it back.[/SIZE]
