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

[Garith Darkhold]

“Go and relax Arianna. We can’t leave just yet. We have to wait for the right window of opportunity. The computer will time departure so we can miss most of the orbiting system defense force. If we leave to soon it will decrease the odds”, he just ripped of that tight sweet jacket and tossed it to the ground. From there he went into the galley and pulled a beer out of the fridge.

"Ok but can I get one of those first?" He had the jacket off it was definitely too tight. It was too soon to say thanks but she had life-long than she expected.

"They will know soon that the bug is gone and figure out where it was last strongest." Arianna extended her hand for the beer, "dark or light?" She wanted to know about the beer.

[Garith Darkhold]

“Dark and there is whiskey to” , he leaned up to the counter enjoying the beer for a while. In a bit he would think about food. “So why where those low lives after you?”

 

[Arianna Organa]

"Good something strong." She popped the top the truth would be required " Its my family. They are positioned well and politics being what they are its often done to eliminate opposition"

She took a drink, "what brought you here?"

[member="Garith Darkhold"]

 

[Garith Darkhold]

“Politics”, Garith rolled his eyes. “I came here for a bounty, ok contract killing. The guy was wanted in four systems and had a long list of rape and murder. A guy has to eat right?”

"Yes k n e less problem in the galaxy. He deserved it" Arianna moved to Garith right side, "so you do mercenary. Bounty hunter things, my sister would die if she heard I was with you. She's rather uptight. " Arianna had often dreamed of a bad boy now she had met one and he more than fit her ideas if bad.

"Will these guys here be a problem for you on other worlds?" How did that work.

 

[Garith Darkhold]

“ I do some merc work and some bounty hunter work. Well that is what I’m doing for the time being. Are these guys going to be a problem for me? Well I’m sure they don’t know who I’m.”

There was that bad boy attitude. "Well helping me might get you a black mark." He probably had some already but what was one more. "I hope they get a case of stupid and forget" she drank her beer down."strong stuff. Your wife must miss you" hint hint are you married.

 

[Garith Darkhold]

“Hell no I’m not married”, he answered a little bit to quickly. “As for black marks I will live. Like the drink do you?”

Arianna couldn't help it she burst out laughing he had reacted as if she had just stabbed him. "Yes the drink is great, already calming me down some. Garith you are so unexpected" Arianna finished the beer and put the can down she touched him gently, "I'm going for my shower, see you in a bit"

Arianna went to get into the refresher she needed this, turning the heat up as high as she could stand it she let it pour over her. She thought about Garith again he was different for certain and yet not. He was no different than the soldiers at home guarding the House he did what he had to and there wasn't much discussion about it. Should she consider him a bad man, she didn't know yet. What he did today was not evil it was defensive, but who knows what he did on other days.

 

[Garith Darkhold]

The laughing sure the heck did not bother him, even though it was at his expense. Hell he could shoulder tackle a parked small speeder and do it more damage then it could do him....so having a laugh hurt his damn feelings was not going to happen.

She left to go take a shower and Garith started to took off his own clothing right there...tossing it into hamper in the living area. In a Landry basket; clean cloths, yes they were clean just not put away. He grabbed a pair of shorts and was no longer in the nude. He then went back in the kitchen to have a drink and make dinner. Chicken Parmigiana with a caesar salad, he could most defiantly have it done before a Alderaan prices got dine with her shower.

The Alderaan Princess finished her shower and found a few things hanging around that would fit her, a loose shirt that might belong to another woman or to Garith, pants that fit her though she had to hold her breath to get into them she put on her own shoes, swept up her hair tied if off and headed back out.

"Ooo something smells good, what are you cooking?" Arianna got a little closer, "I'm not allowed to cook the last time I tried I put eggs in water and forgot and they well popped and hit the ceiling. I think a piece of one is still there" She half smiled, yeah she wasn't too domestic.

[member="Garith Darkhold"]

 

[Garith Darkhold]

Garith had gotten this bewildered look that just spelled WTF. “You did what”, who does not know how to cook a boiled egg? “How did you even survive all these years”, this time it was his turn to laugh.


[member="Arianna Darklighter"]

 

[Arianna Organa]

"Hey I didn't know that if you ran out of water that they would like become rockets and hit the ceiling" She laughed, "it was funny, hell its still funny." She shrugged her shoulders, "I wasn't taught my stepmother she prefered either to do it herself, or have someone do it. She figured I'd learn...." Arianna pushed Garith slightly, "guess she was wrong about that!"


She looked though, "so..its not eggs. Looks like chicken but some say nerf tastes like chicken" She smiled again, she could take it and if she couldn't she best not laugh at anyone else.

“Go ahead and dish up, there is plenty. So where are you from”, he started to fill up a crystal drinking glass with whiskey.

[member="Arianna Darklighter"]

 

[Arianna Organa]

Where was she from, she picked up a dish and began to prepare a plate which she promptly handed to Garith, and then began to prepare one for herself, "I was born on Alderaan, my parents were killed in a civil war uprising when I was like 4, and I was sent to live with a family on Corellia they raised me until I was able to return to Alderaan a few years ago. So I'm from two places, what about you where are you from?"

It wasn't easy for her to say such things but it had happened and there was no changing it, it was history. Her history. She turned she still had a half smile, the galaxy was full of stories like her it wasn't unique.

Yes to keep the story moving in the direction of the writers Garith’s writer remembered that the tall tan hunk muffin in the story could very easily be suffering from a concussion. So that awesome talented writer devised a way to not derail the cool concept of a story and continued forth.

Taking the plate there was something to Arianna’s tale that sounded so familiar. Putting the plate down on the counter he rubbed at the part of his for head that had hit the wall. It was frustrating to him but he could not remember something at that moment. So frustrating he was a bit caught off guard by the next question. He was never this up front with anyone. “I had lived on the planet Showgun, and Mandalorian colony. Manda is a way of life and I have not always lived buy it. I was actually born on Atrisia a long, long time ago”, what did I really just say all of that, type of moment he just had and it was written all over his face.

"Mandalorians" She bit her lip thinking for a moment, "very interesting culture, plus I like their ideas on family. They could all be blended you know not everyone from the same parents, and then they earn everything nothing is just given. So it is a way of life that some people should look at." She turned her plate for a minute, "Why don't you live by it?" and then without giving him a chance to answer her she went on.

"Atrisia I know a few things about it enough to maybe get by and not offend someone." She noted that he said a long long time ago. She stood back for a moment and looked at him she had encountered many people living on Corellia. She studied his face and remembered how well he moved, how he looked standing there in his tattoos. She didn't know what to say if he was so so old he didn't look it, and they were getting on really well so the age thing didn't matter to her.

She noticed he was rubbing his head, "Do you need aspirin? Got a headache?"

So many questions in just a little time was it a sugar rush? Or a lack of food?

 

[Garith Darkhold]

“No... I’m fine, I guess am just recovering still”, he had just finishing taking a drink before speaking and he moved to put the drink back down on the counter. “So you’ve been to Atrisia have you”, he had told her a lot so far and he did not even know her last name, it just seemed so unlike him.

"No never been just read about, I took a political science class that required I read up on different cultures, I picked a few of the lesser known and some of the more widely known" She noticed he had not answered her as to why he didn't live by the Mandalorian Six acts but his reasons would be his own and she tried not to pry to deep.

"Well sit down, and eat Garith it will help you recover. Besides if more of them show up you'll forgive my bluntness but I'd like you to be able to perform at peak" Arianna then decided she needed to follow some of her own advice and took a bite of salad. It was a tangy taste, not bad she wouldn't admit to not having very many salads she liked things that made her feel full not like a rabbit.

"Do you have any family?" she asked hesitantly remember how he reacted before.
