With eyes wide open (a past rp)(complete)

[Garith Darkhold]

Ok, he should have just took the towel off. After she left he took the towel off and walked over to pull some cloths out of the closet. “So you’ve never seen what a engine looks like”, he sparked up some conversation while getting dressed.

"No. It's not what they teach young women. We learn languages, art, history, fencing that kind of thing. When did you learn about engines?"

So it was small talk it was good to leArn.

[Garith Darkhold]

With a common pair of pants on he continued to speak with [member="Arianna Darklighter"] , “No young women can learn more then just you said. It is a very chauvinistic point of view towards women. One very common Artisiria but it does not mean I agree with it. If you want Arianna you could be more then just that. Be who you wish to be.”, he picked up a shirt and started to put it on.

 

[Arianna Organa]

"I will in time. Right now I'm still figuring some of it out. At what age did you know what you wanted 100?" She was just trying to say it took time.

With some socks on now he sat down on the bed and started to strap on some shoes. “Really”, he laughed at the question, “What you really want is always a trick question. That is something the young never learn. Sometimes we’re given little choice when we should grow up and take a stand”, he came out of the bedroom fully dressed. “I was almost out of my teens when I had lost my parents and was off to war. So tell me Arianna , if you had a choice what would you like to do with your life?”

"What would I like. To help those on my home world who can't help themselves. To give something back that may mean nothing today but makes a difference tomorrow. To do things right. A fighter. A leader. " she looked at him. It may sound naive but it was what she wanted.

"You think it's naive?"

[Garith Darkhold]

No actually what she said was quite noble but there was one thing she forgot, “What you said is a very noble goals but you forgot about something. You forgot about yourself. Maybe you should think about finding some balance. Something for yourself and not just about others. Nothing selfish, just something to treat yourself once and a while.”

He nodded for her to follow. They could easily talk and he could take a look at the engines.

"I will have to think on it. Maybe in time something will reveal itself." Arianna followed, " who knows maybe this event will define who I am" She walked thinking. "I hope it's nothing serious we could use a break"

After coming through one of the corridors they came into a work shop looking like room. Yokuni started to pull up one of the dearsteal plates that made up the floor, “You don’t meditate and it sounds as if you do not have any hobbies. What you do not do anything to unwind and have a little bit of fun? No wonder you’re a stressed out mess sometimes”, he laughed, he was not trying to be mean but the logic was so simple, she just needed a hobby or something to help her unwind.

[SIZE=12pt]Arianna followed him shaking her head and thinking upon the words he said. He did have some wisdom, and she held his words dear to her. She would give him her best, for as long as it took. Even if she had a few meltdowns along the way to vent her frustrations. Hobbies, "I ride its the best form of release Garith" She smiled.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]“Garith, when do you want to venture outside?” She was taking things out of order, but her mind was racing touching different subjects.[/SIZE]

Tinkering around with the engine nothing appeared to be broken but he kept looking as they had a conversation, “Think this first day we will go through the ship and make sure what kind of damage we can find on the inside. Tomorrow we will go out and look at the image to the outer portion of the ship. Does that seem reasonable?"

Arianna stepped closer to Garith to look over his shoulder at what he was doing. Their conversation was definitely not one that many would have with her, giving her choices of what she could be capable of. Her family only saw one path for her, Garith however saw many. She smiled the thought made her feel special.

"Ok, so we are making a list of what is wrong, and deciding what has to come first." She wanted to make sure she understood, it would give her things to mull over things to think on rather than focus on the fact they were stranded.

"tomorrow we will go outside, yes Garith I can focus on those goals" While they were standing here seeming to falter in their flowing conversation. "Can we open the vents and get some fresh air? If there is some in here." She didn't want to tell him but the smell from the both of them for the last few days had made this ship very aromatic.

"Garith" She wasn't sure how to approach this except to just say it, but she was curious to know, "why did you kiss me?" Not that she had not enjoyed the brief moment of tenderness, of the softness that he showed in that moment. She thought she needed to add that but held her tongue and waited for his response. After all if he found her attractive she would find that quite acceptable.

 

[Garith Darkhold]

“Yep a list”, he answered right after she said, Ok so we are making a list of what is wrong, and deciding what has to come first. Then she went back to talking about going out side tomorrow. While she kept talking Yokuni was doing his best at playing mechanic. He had started with checking fluids. At lest he knew how to do that. Moving parts did need to be lubricated and if they’re not the engine parts would seize up. Can we open the vents she asked, Yokuni shrugged his shoulders, “Sure, open up the vents.”

Ok he checked the fluids and they were fine, so he was thinking about what to check next when she asked about the kiss. “At the time it felt right, so I kissed you”, he was just honest and straight forward, without giving to much detail. “Well I’m not sure but, I think the engine is ok. The battery is reading normal levels. We may have dodged a blaster blot this time. I will check over everything one more time to make sure”, he started looking at the engine again.

It was perhaps the most unromantic thing she had heard. It seemed right so he did it. Well. It could have been anyone then. How did that make her feel. Odd. Unknown. "Ah. Ok then." What was she expecting. She honestly wasn't expecting the kiss so it should be nothing of consequence right. She shrugged and push it away.

Course him checking the engine could be his way of not dealing with her. Perhaps. Ahhh. Men. "I'm going to open the vents" she turned and walked back forward. Trying to dismiss the thoughts that plagued her.

He had been testing one of the bolts when he heard the disappointment in her voice. The spanner slipped and he rapped his knuckles upon the metal. “Sithspit”, he shock his hand then put the offending hand in his mouth to suck on it for a moment. “Hold up”, he shook his hand in the air again trying to shake the pain away, “Don’t be upset”, he asked.

“I told you I’m not a nice guy”, he was going to attempt to explain this, “I have this thing were I tend to push people away from me when they get close. You got close to me. I would have not been so dismissive there if you had not. “I’m sorry if I hurt you. I fell like I owe you more of an explanation then that for some reason. I don’t why but I do. There is two large main reasons why I do this to myself. One I’m trying to push myself to always be string and keep things that, I do not know if you will understand this but things that would make me soft. The other and a real huge reason why I do not get close to anyone. I’ve out lived everyone that has ever been close to me. I’m the frill old and that saying it is better to loved and lost is better then not loving at all is a loud malarkey. You fun, your attractive, and I have this urge to tell you more then I should. Ok maybe I should just shut up and work on this engine!”

He quickly went back to work hoping she somehow would forget everything the just said!

[Arianna Organa]

He just kept going talking explaining. She listened and part of her understood. Strong. When your strong nothing hurts. Nothing distracts. His age. She nodding understanding. It was better to be alone than love someone and lose them watch them grow old and slip away while you went on. No. She understood very well.

"I wasn't hurt Garith. Confused. Unsure. But not hurt." She let out a deep breath. "I'm glad you think I'm attractive and fun." She wanted to say thus right. "I promise a few things Garith, I will remain fun. I won't expect more than our being friends. I understand more now thank you , I'm sorry if I put you on the spot or made you feel like you had hurt me." She smiled again.

"I'm still going to open the vents" She turned and walked her mind clear as she went. She did feel sad but nit for herself for him. How lonely his life must be.

[Garith Darkhold]

That was a whole mess of unconformable, he thought that. Somehow he believed if he had just shut up and not said anything it would have been better. Or even better yet, he could have not been honest at first. Instead of saying I kissed you because I felt like it, he was thinking he should have been a dick... Yes that is right he should have been a dick and said something like, well I though you had a hot back side so I just had to put my tongue down your throat. Yes being pushy like that, no, he thought more. No that could have back fired and she could have forced herself on you right there...no...no

The spanner slipped again and he hit his knuckles again, “SITHSPIT!”

She moved through the ship to where she could open a vent or two. She thought more in what he said. Remembered his story. It made her want to help. Touch him in a reassuring way but knowing him he would feel uncomforand if he had toadmit to liking it it would be a weakness. Complicated. He was complicated.

So. She would be herself. Forget most of what he told her. Work with him to get off the planet and then. Then. They'd be friends. Yes. Good friends.

They had been working a while. Once she had the vents open she went back to putting things away. She found some meals to rehydrate. And wanting to make things comfortable. She found the whiskey. So. Insta chicken insta peas. And whiskey. Enough for a half glass each. "Hey lunch is on. You ready?" She looked down the corridor.

[member="Togashi Yokuni"]

 

[Garith Darkhold]

He was not sure, it did look like everything he looked at was fine. The reason for the malfunction would most likely be located outside the ship. “Yes I’m coming”, Yokuni climbed up and headed into the next room. “So what is for lunch”, he went over to the sink and started to wash up.

[member="Arianna Darklighter"]

 

[Arianna Organa]

"You're favorite, insta chicken, insta peas" She turned with a smile, "just add hot water, not cooking so its should be safe" She set the plates down on the table she had finally been able to set up, "I also found the bottle that was rolling around in here, so there's enough for like half a glass a piece of this whiskey" She held up the empty bottle. She had noticed there were other empty bottles which led her to believe that either he had a drinking problem, he was drowning a problem, or he was bathing in it when he was alone.

She knew there was a lot to learn about him and if they were going to get along she needed to know, and she needed to get along with him her life his life depended upon one another, just as he had said earlier.

"So what's the verdict on the engine" She pulled the box over and sat down picking up a fork. She smiled and blinked.
