Terror on Terax

"No chance of me getting more than a massage, is there?" Elpsis asked playfully because, well, this was Elpsis. She batted her eyelashes suggestively. Whether she was actually in a state to perform adequately during horizontal tango was another question. After all, she'd been caught up by a dragon's talon.

 

[Laira Darkhold]

Laira grinned devilishly, her expression from one of worry and anxiety to wry, seductive humor as the mood changed with their confessions of feelings. All the rest, all the difficulty didn't matter right now. "Well, I didn't say no chance." Indeed Elpsis was rather injured and Laira wasn't exactly in good health.

The redhead leaned over the bacta tank, planting a kiss on Elpsis's lips, "As soon as you are ready to give me your A game, I think we can work something out. I don't wanna hurt you, and I'm not the kind of girl to go easy on you." Laira grinned, though admittedly she wasn't all that sure of herself. All she knew for a fact was that Elpsis was certain of the person she was and Laira liked her as she was. All the rest of it would either fall into place or she would have had plenty of fun in the process.

"So, when you're ready."

"My A game, huh? Oh, my red-maned sweetheart, you're in for a special treat. Better make sure you're well rested. Because I sure won't go easy on you. Or let you leave the bed without givin' you a mind-blowing experience." Elpsis and Siobhan were different in many ways, but both had a massive ego when it came to their bedroom prowess and enjoyed bragging about it.


There was a pause before words left her bruised, but slowly healing lips again. This time, her tone was gentle as opposed to teasing. "Have you...ever done this before?" she asked carefully. It was just hunch, but she had the feeling that Laira had not, given her reticence so far.

 

[Laira Darkhold]

The redhead laughed a little while Elpsis bragged, probably a little unsure as to how it would work out but sure enough in herself that everything would work out for them if she applied herself and let go of her fairy tale expectations to just enjoy herself. Not every relationship turned into happily ever after, but that didn't mean they couldn't be happy.

"I was a little picky with the kind of person I decided to like and be affectionate with, and had high expectations about relationships." Laira responded softly, a little embarrassed to talk about the subject but willing to discuss it a little with Elpsis. Something about having shared a few near death experiences and having so much in common made her feel like she owed the blind girl a little bit of an explanation. "And, um, I just never had the inclination until now." She looked a little bashful but was otherwise smiling. "We can stick to making out and snuggling until you get healed up."

"So I'll be your first then. That makes me real special, huh?" Elpsis sure seemed to say 'huh' a lot. Much like said [member="Phylis Alince"] hmmphed all the time. "Feels that way. I'll sure make it special for you, sugar." Her own first time had been nothing to write home about - and not even for the usual reasons the average first time was awkward and unimpressive. It could be euphemistically described as 'unpleasant'. Laira would get better though.

 

[Laira Darkhold]

Laira grinned, "Very special." She agreed, having already decided that Elpsis was the most special person she had met so far. The redhead was a little too smitten to assume that anyone would ever measure up to the blind witch, and she had hopes about Elpsis. The girl had been bragging quite a bit and had kept up her flirting pretty well, with a number of females during this trip. She had better live up to Laira's expectations.

"Just focus on resting up and getting better. I know you can't see it, but I've got some pretty bad acid burns to tend to while you get. Why don't you tell me where to take you, and I'll set us a nice long scenic route so we can, um, spend some quality time together before we have to see other people. I'll have Dimeria take your ship so we can have the whole thing to ourselves." It was a pretty good plan. Elpsis wasn't as bad off as some, so a while in a bacta bath, Laira continuing to use bacta scrub on her burns, and they should be good to go by the following night.

Elpsis felt a bit bad for not taking more notice of the fact that Laira had been hurt, too. "I can have a look at those burns...once I'm feeling better. Speed the healing process along a bit." Admittedly Laira had the cool amulet, but still. Elpsis liked helping people and being useful.


"Y'know what, let's go to Arkas. You got the coordinates? You can...meet my parents and stuff. Should be fun," she furrowed her brow slightly before amending. "And maybe a teeny weeny bit awkward." One of the aforementioned parents did not like her.

 

[Laira Darkhold]

Laira grinned wide, turning her chin upwards. "I'll let you inspect them." The redhead pulled her friends hand to touch the side of her own face, wincing as the cool bacta covered fingers ran over the chemically burned flesh and exposed nerves. She was surprised there had not been any exposed muscle at that particular wound, but was grateful.

"Arkas, I can look it up and get us underway. But, um, you're parents?" She blinked, what did that mean? What did that mean for them as far as their relationship? The redhead was actually pleasantly surprised at the proposal rather than anxious about it. People didn't take their partners home to meet their parents unless they had legitimate feelings for them. Elpsis might not feel or want the exact same things from each other, but it reassured the princess that it wouldn't be just a passing fling.

"Don't worry, parent's love me. I'll get us underway, you go to sleep and get some rest."

"Uh, yeah." Perhaps Elpsis misread Laira a bit, but the empath looked a bit nervous. "I mean, if you wanna go. Tegs is, like, real cool and nice. Sio is, well, chilly. Good person though. Mostly." It was a bit awkward to say 'I sorta look up to her because she killed my psycho dad, but she doesn't want me around'.


It upset Elpsis that whatever she did was simply not good enough for her adoptive mother. But the other mother liked her. Tegs was so nice she organised hookups for her daughter and gave her a list of courtesans to choose from.

 

[Laira Darkhold]

"I'm excited about it!" Laira responded with a smile, being sure to express herself well through tone and try to align her mixture of emotions properly so she was easier to read. "I think they'll be great. They did adopt you, and you are the best." The redhead kissed Elpsis's hand. "Rest though."

Both of them needed a little rest actually, "You know what, scoot." She said, pushing her friend over to the side so she could slip into the tub of bacta herself, "I have burns, if I'm going to sit here chatting I might as well cuddle someone special in bacta." Her long legs were marred with long patches of redness, rough burns, and scarred tissue but she dipped them into the bacta and followed suit, wrapping her arms around Elpsis and nuzzling up beside the redhead, planting her lips against Elpsis's neck repeatedly. "You let me know if you need anything."

"Tegs adopted me," Elpsis muttered to herself. The words slipped off her tongue more or less involuntarily. She hoped Laira had not heard. She did not want to spoil the other redhead's good mood by sulking about her mum issues. Especially when there was the prospect of getting into her pants and deflowering her.


"Yeah, you're right. It'll be great! Rest now. Come over here," she declared in a louder, more bubbly tone. Laira made herself comfortable in the bath, and Elpsis snuggled up to her. The kisses to her neck made her giggle slightly and she pressed her lips against Laira.

 

[Laira Darkhold]

Laira had heard a mumble, but not the exact words and she wasn't much in the mood to pry about a muffled, somber tone from her friend when there was affection to share with one another while they waited to heal up. Besides, as far as Elpsis knew Laira's parents were both deceased and no longer in the picture, so perhaps talk of mothers wasn't really going to benefit the mood any. "Here, loop the necklace around your neck since we are gonna be laying next to each other all night anyway." She held the leather cord out and hung it over Elpsis's neck. The blind witch would be able to see the bright glow from the necklace's Force Aura.

Once her friend was taken care of, or at least her wound stitched and both of them submerged in bacta, Laira focused on being affectionate. Her hands wrapped around Elpsis gently, gripping her shirt tightly in scarred hands and meeting her lips with her own, sharing her tongue with the other redhead. Hopefully by tomorrow they would be healed enough to spend some solid quality time with one another before they got to Arkas to meet her family. In the meantime, Laira had no issues with enthusiastically making out with Elpsis until they fell asleep.

Affection was good. It helped pull Elpsis away from her mum issues. Boy, the girl had a ton. For all her streets smarts, combat skill and Force power, she was still driven by very basic, human needs and desires. Namely a need to belong somewhere - especially to a family.


Perhaps, to a degree, this also explained her rampant promiscuitry. Along with her need to be praised by older women. For the time being, these concerns were far from her mind. Gently, she wrapped herself around Laira, returning the embrace. There was copious tongue worship. A number of things separated the girls, such as their origins, views on relationships and Jedi, but this was not a bad thing. After all, being entirely the same would be dull.


There could be no doubt that they were great companions and battle sisters...though it seemed that they might be a bit too action-loving since so far all their dates had involved violence in some way or another.

 

[Laira Darkhold]

As sociopathic as the two redheads might be given how all their attempts at romance often followed violence and some form of killing, they weren't all that bad. Both girls were good at heart, and hopefully it was just coincidence and poor timing. The two would need to go on a proper date once in a while.

While they two girls laid in a warm bacta bath locked in each other's affectionate embrace, Dimeria and E-7 had to see to linking the two ships and getting them underway towards Arkas to meet with Elpsis's adopted family. Laira took such a meeting as a good omen for their relationship, whatever definition they decided it would inevitably be assuming Laira built up the courage to ask for it to be labeled.

Hopefully by the following morning the combination of healing amulet, bacta bath, and copious amounts of affection and kissing would leave them mostly healed up and rested after a nap. Laira was a deep sleeper but quiet and often scrunching her nose in a cute manner, as well as being rather clingy. Any attempts to remove her arms from wherever they latched on Elpsis would result in a gentle soft protesting, 'nooo' amidst a few displeased moans.

The family meeting would be...interesting. [member="Tegaea Alcori"] would probably be nice, while Siobhan would be chilly. And possibly chew Elpsis out for not doing anything constructive with her life. At least that was the point of view of the Lady Kerrigan.


Maybe Laira could brag about her Zeltron dancing skills...and then be compelled to live up to her boasting. Anyhow, on with the plot. By the time morning dawned, Elpsis felt a lot better, thanks to the combination of bacta, healing amulet and makeout sessions. However, she was also sort of entangled, for it appeared that over night Laira had been transformed into an octopus.


Any attempt to gently dislodge her seemed to simply result in the Ranger tightening her grip. "Laira, babe," Elpsis tried to gently coax her awake. "I can't move. You gotta loosen up a bit." Maybe it would work?

 

[Laira Darkhold]

Laira awoke gently with a grin, she felt much better even if she still had a little redness on her cheek, legs, and hip from her burns. Everything seemed to have healed well and she wasn't sore despite having slept in a tub with someone else. She yawned as Elpsis prodded her, sleepy eyes opening slowly and limbs detaching themselves from the witch to begin stretching out. "Morning babe," She whispered between morning groans as she stretched out. Both arms, both legs, then stomach all being stretched taunt in the early morning routine.

"I suppose I should let you up to get showered and cleaned up." Laira needed a shower herself after a night of laying in a puddle of bacta with Elpsis' hands running through her hair making her feather red locks rather messy and matted. With a short kiss to the blind witches nose, Laira detached herself with some reluctance, but she did pull away and slip out of the tub to continue her morning stretches, starting with bending at the waist and pulling her chest to meet her shins with a soft sigh.

Sadly, Elpsis' blindness kept her from fully appreciating Laira's vigorous stretching. However, she used the chance to feel the redhead up a bit. Assuredly that would not distract the Ranger too much. Besides, Elpsis liked girls with muscles.


Eventually, she decided to stop lazing around and stretched slightly to get her body back into gear. "Wanna shower together?" she asked a bit eagerly. Presumably things would still not fade to black during the shower, but she could have fun regardless. "Can have breakfast afterwards. Feelin' a lot better." Her stomach no longer hurt like hell and had stopped leaking red ichor.

 

[Laira Darkhold]

Laira purred as Elpsis poked and grabbed at her muscles, her skin still slick with the bacta residue they had slept in. She changed stances, wrapping her arm around herself to grip her shoulder and twist at her hips. At the prospect of showering, the redhead almost jumped at the opportunity before catching herself, "I don't know. I'm not exactly a pinnacle for self-control."

She swapped arms and twisted in the other direction, flexing her legs and buttocks while Elpsis grabbed at her rear with a pleased expression. The ranger considered her reservations, most of which revolved around her chastity but she had already made some resolutions regarding that subject. After some calculations, she nodded in agreement "But, if you insist I don't have the self-control to deny you."

Rolling her neck and shoulders, Laira beckoned the other redhead towards the refresher and made her own way into the steam-shower to get the hot water running.

"Self-control? Oh, you need none of that around me," Elpsis declared good-naturedly, batting her eyelashes suggestively. "C'mon, cutie. Let's get wet, steamy and soapy." On the way, she gave Laira's buttocks a good grope. She happened to have certain tastes and they were just begging for her to play with them.


Anyhow, they reached the refresher. Hot water dripped down upon them, doing its part to wash away the sticky bacta that clung to them. Fetching some soap and lotion, Elpsis began to spread it across her body, before doing the same for Laira. While predictably pressing her body against hers. Fortunately for the censors, there was a lot of steam, obscuring things a lot. Heaven forbid that someone might see a nipple otherwise.

 

[Laira Darkhold]

Laira spent most of the shower with her cheeks a deep shade of crimson and more embarrassed than she had ever been in her life, but it was enjoyable over all and she did get a lot of attention and affection from Elpsis even if she was being rather shy about it. For the princess it was just awkward since she was unused to being so affectionate. However she received much of Elpsis's attention and shared quite a bit in return until she was satisfied she was clean and Elpsis was scrubbed, she escaped from the steam to wrap herself and her hair in a towel, leaving the blind witch to finish up. "I'm going to go start breakfast, hun."

The redhead did go turn on the gourmet food processor, getting it started on her favorite breakfast when it suddenly occurred to her she didn't know what Elpsis's favorite foods were. They just had not talked enough about the simple things for her to know what the girl might have preferred for breakfast, but perhaps they would have the chance to become better acquainted. But, without knowing she went ahead and prepared her normally light breakfast foods such as a few pieces of bacon, a link or so of sausage, and mixed fruits. Normally she would have settled for a power bar and glass of blue milk, but with company she wanted to have something they could sit together and share.

After a she got everything started, the girl pulled on some clean short shorts and a t-shirt that was a little to small for her, taking her time to fluff her hair out quickly, apply a little make up and slip on her Zeltron Pheromone Emission ring that would allow her to emit the same pheromones a Zeltron was able to. All in all, maybe five minutes separate from Elpsis and she was already pining for more, just somewhere a little more focused and intimate than the refresher.
