Shinning Brightly in the Moonlight

[Alaina Merrill]

For a while nothing filling the room but with silence. Just what was this one thinking the all this time. If it happen to be the sith that had her so deep in thought, then why. It wasn't as if she was that all and powerful in the force or was she. Finally she broke silence with her own shake voice. ​I know I know but he was my flesh and blood we grew up together was more like brother and sister then cousin, we fought but we made up..

Trying now to sit up more in bed if anything so she could look at Malcom directly. Even so the blanket would slip down to her waist. As she looked at his hand. Are you sure your hand be okay?

Voice being very concern but also reach up at the same time as she didn't want to let his touch not be upon her cheek in more. Even her own finger tips gentle brushing his upper arm part of his armor. I not very trained in the force why would a sith want me any ways.

Malcom nodded. He knew what it was like to lose family. He'd lost his brother years ago. "I get that....but somewhere along the line, he stopped seeing you as a sister or even a cousin and only saw something to be sold. I'm afraid this wasn't going to be a story that ended with you two making up. Either h would be dead, or you would be some Sith's play thing."

"He chose poorly, and paid for it.". He stopped there not wanting to beat a dead nerf so to speak. When she asked about his hand, he shrugged it off. " Yeah, just a minor burn. no big." He may have taken a quick glance as the blanket fell, taking advantage of the view her especially attractive form offered.

Shaking his head of the distraction and trying to focus when she began searching for reasons for the Bounty in her head, he shrugged. "Force users always go for a high price to the right people. I suppose beautiful force users could command an even higher price, perhaps even despite limited training."

Malcom smiled warmly before continuing. "All I do know is by the time I'm done with your friend in there..." He pointed over his shoulder to the cargo hold, "...I suspect whoever is after you will be more interested in finding out who I am. We'll see though."

Sitting up more now to look at Malcom, some of it it she got it. More of it she didn't get was the fact that could just say then move on. It was that very thought that got her look at him in the eyes those green eyes of his that one like her could get so lost in.

How do yo move on? I have memories of ...

Her only thing was to do what all others should do that was to face the fact that Ryan was never coming back after such a death that rip his body apart. Her mind flashing to her Aunt what would she say what would he do with out him being able to live on a planet like this. Giving out a long drawled out sigh. Even then she couldn't help but understand that there was more at work then just her cousin going down the wrong side of life.

Reaching up to touch his face as though when to Bert, Please please tell me that your not..going to.. Looking away now as if couldn't bring herself to say the work kill. Turning back as she reaching out again after all she did owe him his life. Knew know that would have happen to her by now would she been waking up in a very different situation one that she couldn't or shouldn't be able to get out of.

Force has a way of guiding one to safety..

"Personally..." He said with a shrug. "I just try not to think about it. As for who or what caused them, I tend to get rid of them permanently." Malcom continued, for the first time letting on that he too had lost people as well. His eyes never left hers even as her hand reached up and touched his face. "Trust me darlin'. It'll be better for him being dead than alive once that Sith realizes he has failed him. We'll be doing him a mercy ironically enough."

Trying to lighten the mood some, he took her hand from his face, but kept a hold of it. "As for the force....pffft. I seem to recall, I may have had something to do with it too you know." He finished with a light chuckle.

[Alaina Merrill]

Well well yes maybe you had a hand in it to, for we both now I was thinking in my right mind. Even as she spoke this she was kind of blushing of what she may or may not had done or said. After which she mumble a bit, Did I well did I do anything I would like to ..well get out.

As she looked at him in a way then it came back her brother the explosion. My..my brother is ..gone.." , biting her bottom lip as if she wanted to flow the tears but she held them back. Even so she couldn't help but think that there was something more. Even so she couldn't help that if it hadn't been for him she wouldn't have made it out a live you force knows where she would be by now.

"I don't know why my cousin and his friend would do something like that we been childhood friends played together went to school together. It was in her eyes there was hurt there but also she was in some pain also, as she let out a bit of a pain sound trying to cover it up the best she could with what she been through she didn't want to have anything else in her system that would cloud her judgment.

A small smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Well....you may or may not have tried to get me in bed...I mean not that I was put off or anything. BUT! No, nothing actually happened. Call me old fashioned, but I don't take advantage of those under the influence..." He paused for a moment thinking, his smirk getting even bigger. "No matter how tempting it may have been."

When she went on again about her cousin and "friend", he simply shrugged. Sometimes you simply couldn't tell what situations were going to push people to do. "At least you don't have to worry about it happening again.You are free, and you'll stay that way."

Malcom sat there in silence for a moment letting her work through the tragedy. "Is there anything I can do to help?" He finally offered, not really sure if there was. Just seemed such a shame a cute little thing like her would be wasting her tears on scum like that. Still, he had to admit, he hadn't had to worry about that in his life. His family had always been a rather loyal to a fault bunch.

All color drained out of her face for a few second. Couldn't bring herself to look at him. As if she had to take more time then she relieved she did to have that light bulb go off. Oh that a relieve. After which time looked at him, For that i'm grateful because might just be ...

Finding herself unable to say much else as she looked around for a bit. Yea I'm free but don't solved the mystery who be wanting to enslave me I'm nothing much to look at, as she just made a bit of a smirk. Even so she couldn't help but look at him with a look with in her eyes. I think you already help me a lot but keeping out of slavers hands, but also I guess this is going to cost me a lot more then we agree upon up front."

Knowing she was in a business dealing everything always cost more when there was trouble or more then what bargain for.

Her comment on her not being much to look at caused him to raise an eyebrow, though he did catch her smirk and subsequent look. "Well darlin', I ain't going to lie. This job did certainly require a bit more effort than I expected. As for cost..." He said with a shrug. "I've always been open to negotiations on pay. Besides, the company has been much more enjoyable than my usual client base."

His own eyes may have drifted over her form briefly. Especially as his mind wondered back to her earlier performance in the club. "So I don't necessarily need any extra pay. Honest. I'll leave whatever you want to do, up to you. How about that?" He finished with a wink.

[Alaina Merrill]

Oh really now just what kind of clients do you like to take on, something that you don't have to try a behave with. Yea she knew the kind of game she was playing now with him. So why did she keep it on with him, this wasn't like her or was it the fact that she wanted to forget about what just took play. Either way she did have to amite to herself this was getting interesting.

Oh lady choice then, how able find this lady something that isn't blood soaked to wear, just maybe if your luck I'll let you help me clean up"

Pausing as she did for a reason letting him imagination get the best of him. My back I think the front I can manage on my own.. unless I change mind.

He couldn't help but laugh. "My usual clientele is male. So yeah, not my thing. Behaving is never an issue there." He finished his laugh with a smirk. As she went on though, her words certainly had him considering the possibilities of what was about to happen next.

"And of course." He said as if he'd been a bad host. "How careless of me. The shower is this way." He added with an outstretched hand to help her out of the med bed. Though he certainly wasn't minding this turn of events. It did still slightly surprise him. Was this the shy little thing he had spent days with getting here? Turns out there is a lot more to her than meets the eye. Quite the spitfire it seemed. Leading her to her quarters where her extra clothing waslocated, he let her walk in first. "Ill be back in a sec with some clothes and a towel."

And he did just so. Though when he returned, he had simply brought her bag. Not really thinking it smart to start rummaging through her things, Malcom had also brought a fresh towel for her. She'd here a knock at the door before he'd enter.

Taking his out stretch hand she couldn't help but still as was taken down to a room to use the refresher. One like her couldn't happen to look at herself in the mirror on the way by. Staring at herself boy she was a mess more so then she usually. Speaking to no one in the room but herself. "Well, Alaina you gotten yourself into a find mess this time more so then any other time." Even so she couldn't help but let herself wonder just want she was going to do next. All she been through, she was in some pain, it was in her eyes not only from the trauma but also from the wound.

"Come in"

As she step quickly out of the sight of the mirror after all she didn't want him to caught her watching or looking at herself. Letting herself take the bag going through the finding sometime pain and simple to put on. Giving him the look down. Guess next thing is to help me get undressed again, This time giving that she was in her right mind had sleep off some of the drug in her system, she had a redness in her cheeks.

Well, just going to stand there or you worry able me . Giving him a another playful wink trying to make light of the situation. Count yourself luck as no one every make it this far with me, I have ran by now but seeing that I'm on a ship in space and will really can't take cloth off me self. Even so she try when she did she let out a gasp of air that she was in some kind of pain. If you got pain pills I'll like those.

"If you insist." He said as he moved toward her. Her comment about him being lucky made him smile. It had been quite the mission for being lucky, he thought to himself. First the fact the he got a hot little thing like her her as a client. Now this. Pulling out the bottle of pain meds he still had on him from earlier, Malcom withdrew a couple more. "Careful. You have already had a couple of these. Wouldn't want to overdue it." He said with a smile as he handed her a couple more pain pills.

After he handed them over and she took them, his hands fell toward her waistline. "Ok. Time to get you cleaned up." He said. As they lifted her shirt up, up and over her shoulders, he moved behind her. As much as he would have appreciated the view. He wasn't going to overstep his bounds on what she had said. As the shirt came off, it was tossed aside and his hands slid softly down along her sides toward her waist. Reaching over, he handed her a small towel for her to start cleaning herself off.

As much as he would appreciate going further, he'd let her dictate the speed at which they proceeded.

Finding herself in a very difficult position, even so something a woke inside. Everything had its time, was this her time to let herself to come out of her shell. No she had be so careful to protect what she felt was the only thing she had left to hold onto. Even more so finding it more difficult as the time when on reaching for the towel grabbing it quickly from him, careful not to show anything.

Handing him the cloth now to clean her back some what from what blood had soaked ran down. Careful, you might be enjoying this way to much. As she let her slender fingers find around her long strains of blonde hair. Letting it drape over one of her shoulders down her front side. As the room was starting to steam up.

Boy its getting hot and steamy in here.

Malcom smirked, an expression beginning to be a permanent feature while he was around her it seemed. She was quite the woman, maybe not as battle hardened as a Mandalorian woman sure, but she definitely still had spirit. He also sensed a deeper well of strength than what she allowed to surface for the world to see.

While she maintained her modesty as best as she could, her comment betrayed her. It was true, he was indeed enjoying the view. But she seemed to also be having a bit of fun with the situation. A fact not lost on him, and kept him comfortable with "helping" his client. "Well, I'm not happy you got hit. But I won't say I'm sorry you "need" help with this."

Dipping the clean end of the towel in a bit of water from the sink, he gently wiped off her soft skin around the wound before moving the towel lower down her back to clean the droplets that had fallen there.

Letting him clean up the spot of her back. Even so wasn't letting her full self relax not until this cleaning was done. It didn't mean that maybe she couldn't have a bit of fun with him even just maybe lend him on for a bit more. At less for her hair coming in to play being a good covering. You do surprise me that you have such a gentle touch for well a harden warrior like yourself.

Gritting her teeth when he went to cleaning the wound itself it bleeding a bit when all the even so she didn't say a word. Letting him finish up before him speaking to her once again. It was her turn to get undressed the rest of the way. Slipping into the shower, even as the hot water hit her skin, she couldn't help let the flooding of water take over as the tears was shed away from his eyes. If he would heard her crying would he could cheek on her or could she buff him as she slide down the wall.

Sometimes I wish been born..or not ..with ...

If it was hours later she didn't know how long she had stayed in there with his help. Being more calm and relax.
