Dinner After A Brawl

[Andorreth Vikar]

Smiling as I felt her fall into my arms I simply held her and then I felt her wrapping a hand around my neck and pulling my mouth against her lips. Then she said you cheated, chuckling I said "Not cheating if it works Jae, though I wouldn't have done that with any other duelist I figured you wouldn't mind though." Guiding her back to the mat I grabbed her blade and the other training blade and took them back to the weapons rack. "By the way, how do you feel about mint chip ice cream Jae?" After replacing the blades in their respective places I walked over to the salmon ladder and placed my hands about shoulder width and began working my way up the salmon ladder. Hopefully Jae would enjoy the view at least somewhat...

She laughed at his response as he helped her up back onto her feet again, "No, I didn't mind at all." She replied with a smile on her face. He took her blade from her and she tilted her head to the left, then right, stretching and yawning shortly afterwards. She looked back at him when he spoke again, "That, sounds like a great idea." She replied, liking the sound of mint chip ice cream, had to be one of her favourites, and right now anything sounded good to be honest, she was exhausted. She heard a 'clang!' like metal on metal, jumping a little at the sudden sound, she turned around to see what it was that caused it. She stared at him for a short while before she leaned on the wall, continuing to watch him working his way up the ladder, she bit her lip a little. She knew there was a possibility that she looked like a creep and staring, though right now she couldn't care less given the view she had at the moment. She came to the conclusion that she could watch him doing this for hours.

I kept going as I felt Jae's eyes on me and just repeated the process with the salmon ladder a few more times. As I came back up to the top I simply pushed myself up on the bar and hooked my legs around the bar then leaned back. Looking at Jae I said "Like what you see? I mean I could stay up here all night and something tells me you'd keep watching me but I suppose I'll have to come down if you care for that mint chip ice-cream. Plus I believe we could both use a shower..." I let the insinuation sit there for a second as I cranked out a set of ten crunches while hanging upside down.

Then I simply swung back out allowing my momentum to carry me into a quick flip and landed on my feet. Walking over to the corner of the room I grabbed my shirt and simply wiped my face with it before walking over next to Jae and giving her a quick kiss. I began walking out the door and said "Sooo...shower? Then we'll grab some ice-cream to share?"

[Jae Jordan]

Her eyes followed him up and down the ladder, never getting bored in the slightest. She hummed in response to him, not exactly 'in the present' at the moment, evidently too busy staring. She finally paid attention and processed what he'd said to her. "Hmm, mint chip ice-cream, or watching you all night." She said as she raised one hand up at each option, as if she were weighing them out. "It's a tough one honestly." She said smiling. She smirked lightly when he mentioned they could both use a shower, she glanced to the side before looking back up at him as he continued his workout. She wasn't against the idea.

As he jumped down and walked past her after giving her a short kiss, she stood there for a moment before turning and skipping a little in her walk to reach where he was. "Shower." She agreed with a confident nod, "Then ice-cream." She was loving how this day was going.

Smiling in response to her answer I headed back to my cabin with Jae and once there. I flicked the lights to a lower setting and headed towards the refresher in my cabin. Once I'd headed in I turned on the hot water letting it get rather steamy inside, once it had I'd come back in and lower the temp a little bit. Coming back out I tossed my shirt into a pile of dirty clothes in a hamper before making my way over to Jae and giving her another kiss. I didn't want to stop, but I needed to cool the temperature down so as not to scald Jae's skin clean off.

Heading back into the refresher I could feel the heat and sticking my hand in the shower I turned the cold water on low so it'd balance the heat out. Poking my head back out I undid my pants and stripped out of the rest of my clothing before tossing those clothes out the refresher area and in the general area of the clothes hamper. Calling out I said "Care to join me Jae?" Then I stepped into the shower and waited. There were clean towels on the rack outside the shower for after we were done. Odds were I'd be the one going to grab the ice-cream anyways which I didn't mind in the slightest.

She entered his cabin alongside Andorreth and looked around as he tossed his shirt into the hamper and fixed up the refresher. She smiled as he came closer as she'd already guessed what was going to happen next, and Andorreth didn't fail to prove her assumption correct. She smiled in the kiss and was about to bring her hand up when he broke the kiss to go and fix up the temperature of the refresher. She let out a short sound of protest but agreed with the fact she rather not having the water scorching hot when they went in.

As she heard and saw him toss the rest of his clothing out the door and towards near the hamper she did the same, stripping herself of her shirt and pants before ridding of the rest of her clothing. She laughed lightly and called back out to him, "Be there in a minute." How things had escalated quite quickly, not that Jae minded, in fact she quite enjoyed how things were going and how her life had changed all for the better in her opinion. She walked over towards the refresher area and stepped into the shower, steam slightly clouding her vision.

*Fade to Black.......*

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

Laying in bed against Jae I felt her wrapping her hand around my waist. Smiling I gently moved her hand off me as I slipped out of bed and grabbed a clean pair of athletic shorts. Heading out my cabin door shirtless and barefoot grabbed the dishes from dinner and headed down the hall to the kitchen and walking to the fridge I opened up the freezer and grabbed the Mint-chip ice-cream tub. Then grabbing the bottle of Spiced Corellian Red wine from dinner and remembering the glasses back in my cabin I grabbed two spoons and started heading back. Remembering what I'd picked up on the last stop to deliver cargo I smiled and decided to use a little of it.

As I reached my cabin I quietly shut the door and spotting the the two glasses of wine we'd finished earlier I poured another glass for us each and set the ice-cream on my bedside table with the two spoons. Opening the panel of my cabin exposing the view of the stars I lit several candles that smelled of cinnamon spice and dimmed the lights even further. Grabbing a small bag of rankweed from my desk I grabbed some paper and rolled it tamping it down lightly with my tongue. Placing the bag back in place I simply stuck the cigarette behind my ear and slipped back into bed beside Jae. Slipping my leg over her waist I gently mounted her and leaning down kissed her forehead to wake her. I had a feeling she'd enjoy what I had for us now...

She wrapped her arm around his waist and only moved a finger or two as she felt him leave the bed. Her head buried in the pillow beneath her she pulled the sheets up closer to her, she was exhausted and she needed sleep, if only just a quick nap. She heard the soft click of the door shutting but didn't stir in the slightest, too tired to worry about the sounds around her. All of a sudden though the smell of cinnamon surrounded her and followed by that was a gentle kiss to her forehead. She stirred a little before yawning lightly and looking up to see Andorreth, "..Hi." She mumbled as she went back to sleep, her head sinking back into the soft pillow.

She felt his hand along the side of her face as he went ahead and brushed a few stray strands of hair out of her face, she smiled and turned to look back at him, a little more awake than compared to the first time. She stretched briefly before resting her hand on his leg and looking up at him, "What's wrong?" She asked, wondering if there was an issue. She looked further down into the cabin and noticed several sets of candles lit, she furrowed her brows a little and then saw that the panel had been opened, allowing for the magnificent sight, she hummed in contempt upon seeing it.

Smiling as Jae came to and said hi, I heard her ask what was wrong. Smiling whilst still atop her I leaned in close against her and whispered "Nothing's wrong Jae. Nothing at all babe, relax I brought ice-cream and a few other things to enjoy together." I heard her hum gently as she noticed the candles and star view. Turning the lights down further I let the soft glow of candles and the stars light my cabin. Gently running my fingers through her hair I gently massaged her neck before kissing her passionately. Pulling away briefly I popped open the tub of mint-chip ice cream and pushed two spoons into it. As she woke a little more I brought the tub of ice-cream over to share with her.

Two glasses of spiced Corellian red wine sat on the nightstand and the cigarette of rolled rankweed tucked behind my ear. I'd let Jae wake up a bit more before we shared that together. For now I simply let my hand drift tracing sensual, slow circles on her toned tummy and waited for her to take a bite of mint-chip blissfulness...

@Jae Jordan

 

[Jae Jordan]

Smiling as she heard him speak, she perked up a little at the sound of ice-cream. "Ice-cream?" She sat up slightly and simply straightened herself up. She hummed and closed her eyes briefly as he began to give her a massage that was quite appreciated. As he stopped she opened her eyes only to be greeted by his lips once again. She smiled in the kiss as her hand wrapped around the back of his neck. He pulled away and she was about to bring him back down when she saw the tub of ice-cream brought forward, two spoons sticking out of it. She gasped shortly and quietly, "Thankyou!" She cheered quietly, looking forward to the ice-cream ever since he'd suggested it.

She took a spoonful of the mint-chip ice-cream, swallowing she nodded towards him, "This is good stuff." She commented on the ice-cream. She glanced over at the wine sitting on the nightstand, she'd have some of that after she enjoyed and appreciated the ice-cream in front of her. "I haven't had ice-cream in so long." She spoke absentmindedly, not to anyone in particular, the thought simply made it's way from her mind to her mouth.

[Andorreth Vikar]

Smiling at Jae perking up due to ice cream I said "Yeah it's pretty good alright. I try and grab some of this whenever I visit a station or port. Mint chip is a guilty pleasure of mine after all..." I saw Jae glance over to the nightstand where the wine was and decided that after she'd had her fill of ice-cream we could enjoy a glass of wine together along with the cigarette of Rankweed I'd rolled and tucked in behind my ear. While not strictly legal in the core worlds, I doubted anyone would care out here in the mid-rim let alone the outer rim.

I continued to gently rub Jae's shoulders as she ate some mint chip ice-cream. I had to say I really did enjoy feeling her bare skin in my hands. Not to mention her company, it was nice to say the least. I'd come a long way from flirting with random women on Coruscant to get tips and I didn't plan on going back to that any time soon if I could help it. Plus I had a great crew so far including my gorgeous pilot and I had to say I was damned lucky with where I was in life. Now the thing for us to focus on was building an actual home base out here, after that...Well there were a lot of planets in the verse and even more opportunities. For now though I was content to simply enjoy the company of my beautiful pilot, ice cream, and a few other comforts.

@Jae Jordan

 

[Jae Jordan]

"I don't blame you, it's good ice-cream." She replied, taking another scoop and enjoying the minty taste it came with. She laid back and looked at the wine, then above to the lights and across the room to the candles, putting everything together as a whole piece, "Well, aren't you just the romantic?" She said whilst smirking lightly. Not that she minded, she quite liked what he'd done and had absolutely no problem with it at all.

Laying down here, with him, she realised how drastic things had changed, everything settled in properly in her mind. She'd gone from scoundrel on Nar Shadaa to a scoundrel...on a ship, with a crew! And on top of that she was very fond of her newfound crew, taking not much time at all to recognise them as her new family. She was happy with how things had turned out, her running into Andorreth on that trivial day and winding up as his pilot, and taking quite a liking to her first and very own captain, she was more than happy with how that had turned out in the long run.

[Andorreth Vikar]

Smiling as she mentioned it being good ice cream I chuckled a bit when she mentioned me being a romantic. "Oh I don't know about me being a romantic. I just grew up with....roguish charm is perhaps the best way to describe my upbringing. I enjoy some of the finer things in life. Fine wine, a fine woman, awesome ice-cream. Not to mention some of the more shall we say....forbidden fruits. Being a captain of a smuggling vessel means we take on all sorts of interesting items and forbidden fruits do tend to be the sweetest."

To emphasize my point I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled Jae back against me. Kissing her soft lips before gently pushing my tongue inside her mouth. I held the kiss for a few seconds before breaking away with the taste of mint on my lips and in my mouth. Then I said "Mmmmm forbidden fruits are definitely sweeter." Finally I grabbed the second spoon and took a bite of mint chip moaning in pleasure at the taste. I had to say I could definitely get used to nights or hell even mornings waking up next to Jae. Perhaps when we all got set up out on the mid-rim with our base we could make that happen. Crosswire would need something of a secluded nest area, Jax probably something semi-secluded as well near the mechanic shop, I'd be taking what'd be a Master bedroom though everyone would have what they desired. Jae would bunk with me in the master bed unless she wanted her own room of course and we'd all be able to have areas of the place that were more or less ours.

Yeah I could get used to waking up beside Jae...Taking another bite of mint chip ice-cream I grabbed a fingertip amount of mint chip and gently smeared Jae's nose with it before offering her my ice-cream covered finger. Romantic and playful what could I say I was adventurous...

@Jae Jordan

 

[Jae Jordan]

She laughed lightly when he made his comment about him growing up with roguish charm, "Well..I'm not gonna argue with that." She said, agreeing with him. She was about to take another spoonful of the ice-cream before she felt his arm snake around her waist and bring her up to meet his lips. She was briefly shocked before she melted back into the kiss and felt his tongue enter her mouth, she moaned softly in pleasure until the kiss broke. She hummed quietly in content as she laid back down onto the pillow, laughing at his comment on forbidden fruits being sweeter.

She twirled the spoon around in her fingers a little before deciding to go back for another scoop, though before she could do so she was interrupted by a quick and cold shock originating from her nose. She gasped briefly before looking at him, "Andorreth!" She couldn't help smiling at him though, she looked down as he offered his hand in front of her. On any other occasion she perhaps would have done something different, though given the current situation she simply smirked and grabbed his hand, pushing it towards his own face and smearing the ice-cream onto his face.

She broke out into a fit of laughter as she looked at him, "Got you." She managed to say in between her laughs. She had to say she had bonded and gotten comfortable with Andorreth quicker than she had with anyone else before, which was somewhat strange though not completely unexpected when she was spending so much time with a handsome character such as himself.

Smiling at her reaction and saying my name in what I took to be mock indignation I chuckled and then there was ice-cream on my face too. Looking into her soft baby blue eyes I said "Well the ice-cream was more of a playful gesture but now I suppose I'll have to clean it off you." Before Jae could ask what I meant I leaned my bodyweight against her pushing her head softly back against the pillow. Gently kissing her forehead I extended my tongue after the kiss and gently licked the mint chip off her nose. Then I kissed her soft lips again letting her taste of mint. Smiling I simply rolled away so that I was against her and with a free hand I placed it against her bare thigh. Hopefully my hand wouldn't be too cold but I reckoned Jae wouldn't be in a hurry to push my hand away either.

I began tracing slow circles along her bare thigh as I reached with my other free hand towards the bedside table and grabbed a glass of the spiced Corellian red wine. Leaning back towards Jae I gently kissed her lips before breaking away and offering her the glass. Grabbing a spoonful of mint-chip I offered it to her. Looking into her eyes I said "We should probably be careful otherwise us heating things back up will melt the ice-cream. I mean I guess that could be fun too but still.." Pulling my hand away from her thigh I grabbed the lid to the ice-cream and got ready to close it. I'd stow it in the mini-freezer I had in my cabin I wasn't about to walk back down to the kitchen and leave my beautiful pilot here alone...

@Jae Jordan

 

[Jae Jordan]

Jae cocked an eyebrow slightly after he stated he'd have to clean it off her now, slightly confused.Though before she could let a single word out she felt herself being pushed down into the pillow. She willingly went with Andorreth's motion and laid down, feeling the gentle kiss to her forehead and then licking the ice-cream off of her nose. She crinkled her nose a little for a brief moment as it tickled, she smiled and met his lips once again, she noticed she was doing that quite a lot as of late, not that she had any problem with it in the slightest. She felt a bit of chill on her thigh, though nothing too intense.

She noticed the wine glass ushered in front of her and gladly took it, taking a sip and letting her taste get used to the new taste after being filled with mint-chip ice-cream. "You're right, things could get a little.. messy." She laughed at his comment, taking into consideration everything that was around them including the wine. Turning to her side, she took another sip of the wine before reaching out and placing it on the bed side table. Turning back to face Andorreth, she shuffled over and nuzzled her way next to Andorreth, in the space between his arm and torso, resting her head on his chest. "What do we do after this?" She asked as a broad question, as she began tracing random shapes and lines along his bare chest with her finger. She herself wasn't entirely sure what she meant by the question, it was quite broad indeed, though she guessed she meant in terms of the crew as a whole and where the team would be headed.

[member="Andorreth Vikar"]

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

Smiling in amusement at Jae's choice of wording I said "Well if you're referring to us as in you and me then I'd say whatever we can come up with to do together. If you're referring to the crew as a whole then I've a few different ideas on that as well." Sliding out of bed I put the ice cream in the mini-freezer and headed back to the bed before once again dropping the shorts off my body. Sliding into bed against Jae I laid back and took a sip of my own wine. "Seems to me we have a few options as a crew, first we can set up a sort of home base out here in the mid-rim. There are plenty of hyperlanes for smuggling and cargo vessels so we wouldn't have to worry to badly about finding work. Plus it'd be good to have a place to call home where we could recoup after missions."

Setting my wine glass back on the bedside table I continued "As for how we'd be setting up the home base we'll need materials, money, and a few other things. Jax got word of a battle fleet that seemed abandoned so we could go and scavenge materials there to begin constructing a base. After that, well as much as I hate to go back I feel like we'll have to head to Coruscant in order to deal with the people who were after Crosswire on Nar Shadaa. Odds are that they wouldn't stop hunting him anyways and looking over your shoulder all the time is no way for a man to live free. So that needs to be dealt with, and I still have the blade the Firedancer gave me on Nar Shadaa which is something I think I will need to go and deal with too...."

Rolling over to look into her soft blue eyes I said "For now though I'm content to lay here with you though I have to ask how adventurous are you Jae?" I'd remembered the hand-rolled Rankweed cigarette I'd tucked behind my ear. Of all the many illegal substances this was one I'd partaken of in my younger days on Corellia. Not as radical as spice, death-sticks, or glitterstim I'd found it to be a good way to relax. Though odds were if we did go for the fleet Jax had mentioned we'd all be smoking some after that mission there was something not right about a whole fleet being abandoned... For now though I waited for Jae's answer on how adventurous she felt and simply pulled her close against me letting her rest her head on my chest.

@Jae Jordan

 

[Jae Jordan]

Smiling at the idea of a home base she started to wonder of what it would be like to have a solid and safe home to return to each and every day. Jae hadn't had one of those in a long time, too far back for her to remember, as since she'd left her home world she had never stayed in the one spot for too long, and in turn never having a somewhat 'safe haven' to return to at the end of every day. "Yes, a home base would be great, actually." She agreed with him, already imagining what it could look like and smiling at the thought of it. She also liked the idea of work being easy to find, "Don't get me wrong I love, this." She said, waving her hand around in a quick circle as she gestured to the duo's current state in bed, "But I don't like sitting around constantly, so the fact that work will be quite simple to find sounds great."

She hummed in thought as she began thinking a about the people who were after Crosswire, "Who are they again?" She asked as she continued to think about how they would go about stopping them, especially being on Coruscant, she knew Andorreth was less than fond of the planet, though one way or another they'd have to return to there if they had any desire in stopping the ones who were after Crosswire.

She smiled as the duo locked eyes once again, smiling at his comment and narrowing her eyes slightly when he asked how adventurous she was. "I'm a pilot Andorreth, being adventurous is all apart of the job." She said confidently, though then she realised he could be referring to something completely different, "Though...I guess it depends on what you're talking about." She added hesitantly.

[member="Andorreth Vikar"]

 

[Andorreth Vikar]

Smiling at Jae saying it'd be nice to have a home to go back to and how she enjoyed this nomadic lifestyle but having steady work would be good. She'd asked about Crosswire and the people hunting him though and she needed to know. "The people hunting him are the hit squads and merc contractors employed by E. Corp. Though I've always called it Evil Corp. they were big into tech even back when I lived on Coruscant but they branched out. Now they're involved in bio-tech and bioweapons. Nasty stuff actually and Crosswire stole a prototype tech implant from them. The tattoo over his eyes isn't just a tattoo it's a bio-tech implant that helps with slicing among other things. He has the only prototype and they desperately want it back, unfortunately for them we're not going to let them have it."

As Jae mentioned being a pilot and how adventure was part of the job I smiled. Then she said I guess it depends what you're talking about... Smiling I pulled the cigarette of rolled Rankweed from behind my ear and looked at her "Jae this is an illegal substance. It's called Rankweed and on one of the cargo pickups I was asked to transport it elsewhere I was paid in this and the main credit payment. Its basically like a cigarette except with a few differences. First the sense of touch is heightened , second time seems to pass slower, third it can make you hungry after and fourth it relaxes you. None of which is bad other than if you're driving a speeder or something. But it is polite to ask, would you care to share it with me? I mean we ARE scoundrels, smugglers, and slicers aboard so I figure what's a little bit more illegal activity?"

I leaned in against her and once more kissed her lips before gently nibbling along her jawline. Hopefully the idea of sense of touch being heightened and relaxation and time passing slower would appeal to her. As it was I could think of multiple ways it could be employed for pleasure...
