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

[Garith Darkhold]

Should he answer that question honestly? Maybe not fully. "I thought it was very beautiful scenery and thought you would very much love to see it. If you like we can plan our next trip to the beach. That is since we are going to be here for a while and very couple of months we should just take a pause like we are doing now.”

She noticed how he skirted any of the conversation she had mentioned about coming back here, she couldn't blame him for not wanting to. Or for wanting to not have a reminder of being stranded. She wouldn't let it seep in to her, no she was enjoying their day.

"The beach would be great, my home is near the water on Alderaan. I love the water. do you swim? " She was curious if he liked the ocean.

 

[Garith Darkhold]

“Yes I do swim. As for where to build a house or something grander then a house here on this planet I do not know yet. There is so many choices. We will have to do some thinking on what we are going to name this planet”, he continued speaking along their topic. He just wanted to skirt around saying how he must have felt when he seen this view for the first time.

"A name huh, well maybe we can think of something that reflects two worlds" She was thinking of their two worlds coming to a meeting place, how do you blend his life with hers and come up with a name. "Good I can swim too, so we'd be ok going into the water provided nothing would eat us"

And he had mentioned a house, she wasn't always into the grand castle sometimes she wanted just enough rooms to live in. Rooms that were comfortable and yet they would have everything they wanted in just a few. The world itself would provided all the other rooms that a castle would have. Who needed more than that?

“I do not know”, he thought about naming this planet after two different worlds. “This seems like a good place to get away from that from time to time. I do not know if I would want it to be a reminder of stress or work.”, they were getting closer now. Soon they will come to s steep ledge and would look like they would have a step climb. They would not need to though as Yokuni would have to lead them to a path that cuts through the cliff face. They could hear the roar of a huge waterfall from here though.

"So then something that makes you think of rest, relaxation." Arianna began to think of words that would mean that. But would she really want to call a world paradise. She half grinned while she pondered Paradise.

She looked up to where Garith was going, she looked at the steep hillside, oh that is going to take some doing. "How many times have you made this trip Garith?" She was only asking to know how well he knew this path.

“This way”, it looked as if he was taking them off the path and to a large set a bushed over by the cliff face. Once there he moved on the other side of the bushes. From this angle you could see a opening in the sold rock. The rock stood twice as high as a cruiser and went on and on to their left and right for miles. The opening was carved as high and as deep as the rock to a open area at the exit of the rock path. From the other side of the bush they were standing at, it was just the angle, a optical illusion that made the rock look as one and there was no opening there. There was a an opening and shot directly to the area they were going to. A perfect location to keep out the towering predators.

“I’ve been here quite a few times getting this place set up for us”, he walked down the path with the two rock walls standing tall to either side of him.

Getting it set up for them, so he had been working on this for a while. It was very considerate of him she knew that he had worked hard so it meant when he came out here to pick up the supplies needed he had taken extra time to do this for them.

The choice between evil and good, she had seem some of both in him. And yet even in knowing this she couldn't help but look at him at times and think if I don't watch it, I'm going to love him a lifetime. They had lived a lifetime so far, enduring all they had.

She looked at the bush, and then through to the opening he talked about, "Wow, now that is cool" She looked up, "How did you know it was there, the opening that is?" Was it a force thing that he could find such things?"

“I had found this place when hunting”, he continued to walk on with her next to him. “I had followed the tracks of my prey and then it lead me right to here. The entrance is not the real surprise.”

Coming to the exit Yokuni moved over, placed his hand lightly on the arch of her back. He was close to her as the came out from the cliff side. Standing next to her, with her he pointed out. It was a huge, massive rock bowl. The sides of the bowl was the rock wall that was part of the mountain. A gigantic waterfall cascaded down from the mountain into a huge lake, that then flowed though a small river then through part of the rock wall. Most of the lake seemed really calm and safe to swim in. Around the lake it was not a dense forest. It was more like a natural formed garden with trees here and there spread out. In one of the trees was a small tree fort. Down on the ground by the tree fort was a fire pit. “This is the place I knew you would want to see Arianna!”

It was stunning she gasped so lightly her mouth stayed partially open she looked out into the giant bowl that cupped so perfectly around the waterfall and the lake it was as if it had been scooped out and designed specifically for them.

She turned to him, and in her excitement she put her arms around him hugged him tight, kissed his cheek, "I love it!" and then just as quickly she released him and looked out again, "this is going to be devine tonight" She looked down, "part of me just wants to stand here and look at it, but the other part of me is just wanting to be there and explore it" She smiled so much her face hurt.

"thank you Garith, can we go down now?" She inched a little.

[member="Togashi Yokuni"]

 

[Garith Darkhold]

“Yes go for it”, he to was smiling and he started to walk down to the house in the tree where they will be staying. It was safe for her to explore here. ‘Maybe if I can repair the normal engines I could fly the ship here and finish the repairs here’, it was just a thought that had crossed his mind. At least they would have a good spot to bath it and stop taking up to much of the resources on the ship. It would be safe for her to get out of the ship more often too. It would not be that hard to make another forge here.

It did not take him telling her twice she could go, she went off quickly touching and poking through everything that she could find. And soon enough she found herself at the edge of the lake looking at the water it was inviting, and they would have a fire, and protection and she hoped nothing ever touched this. This was almost perfect.

She took her shoes off then stuck her feet into the water, ohhh it was so cold! She laughed but it felt so good. She reached down to touch the water her fingers playing along the surface.

It was safe here he said. He would know, where was he. She turned to look for him, where had he gone off to, or had she left him behind that far? "Garith?" she called

“I’m over here”, he answered over by the fire pit. He had lifted his hand and said something in the Sith dialect the logs waiting in the fire pit caught aflame by the Sith incantation. The camp fire was no lite. “The water is safe. That is if you do not get to close to the waterfall or go over to the far end of the river. The main body of water of the waterfall will crush you and if you get down to the other half of the river you will get sucked into the current and be pulled over the other waterfall”, he yelled out so she could hear him.

[member="Arianna Organa"]

 

[Arianna Organa]

She could now see that he was by the fire, the water is safe she can go in, "Ok". She hesitated only for a moment before she disappeared beneath the surface. She rolled under the water feeling it engulf her. The water crystal clear she could see all around her beneath the surface.

And the she tilted her head upwards and broke through the surface, taking a breath she stared upwards, and then moved to where she could float on her back, staring upwards, and remembering to stay close to their side of the lake. This was heaven she wasn't even sure what else she would want right now. The water help to remove any of the grime that had built up over the last months from sponge baths. She stretched out and kicked her feet.

Enjoying herself.

“The stones here”, he picked up on the conversation after hearing hear breaking up past the surface of the water again. “There is type of chemistry going on that heats the water to a comfortable temperature here even the water comes from a glacier”, he sat his pack and hers next to the fire and began to walk over to where she was. The water is safe I made sure of it before I tested it out with my own body”, now by the waters edge he watched her swimming. “Warm just to a comfortable temp just like it was a indoor heated pool”, he dove into the water and came back up to the surface to float a bit.

[member="Arianna Organa"]

 

[Arianna Organa]

She turned once she heard him come into the water then she looked around for where he came up, the she slowly moved that way. "Yes this is perfect, who knew a lake could be so warm. its like bath water Garith"

She took a breath then rolled to her back again, she kept her eyes closed feeling her body go limp as she floated. "This was such a good idea" She smiled. She could hear the rushing of the water, it was almost music to her ears. As she floated past Garith she finger flicked a little water his way. She laughed as she did so.

[Garith Darkhold]

He did not dodge the water and it hit him. “You think that is funny do you”, he splashed some water back at her.

[member="Arianna Organa"]

 

[Arianna Organa]

[member="Togashi Yokuni"]

She laughed again as the water hit her, "Yes, I do think its funny" this time she used her whole hand to splash water his way. When was the last time that she had done this? She could begin to do the Jaws sound track....hmmm..

 

[Garith Darkhold]

Again he was splashed with water. This time he slipped back under the water, swam over to [member="Arianna Organa"] , pulled her briefly under the water and he resurfaced back up out of the water.

 

[Arianna Organa]

She had heard him but not quick enough and before she knew it he had pulled her under, she pushed up to the surface still laughing. "oh you think that will stop me?" She went to splash him again. Her hand hit the water, and swept the water toward Garith.

It felt good to just relax and have fun.
