You Got Something I Need II (Coryth)

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

Siobhan quickly disembarked from the speeder, looking rather nervous and stressed. Thus she made haste to enter the villa, where the pair would find themselves greeted by Harmony, one of Sio's...personal attendants, who was always eager to attend to her needs. Naturally she was a total troll like all good harem girls and wore a brief dress that hugged her curvaceous body.



"Welcome back, Mistress Kerrigan. A great pleasure to meet you again, Mistress Elaris. We missed you," the servant girl said brightly. Presumably Galina was not in mortal peril at present, since otherwise the welcoming would have been a good deal less upbeat and trollish.


"Galina is upstairs? She's ok?" Siobhan asked or rather demanded.


Harmony looked a bit perplexed and taken aback, but stayed tactful. "Yes, she's upstairs in her room. Working on her Maths homework. She's such a smart girl. She's alright."


Siobhan looked a bit relieved but not convinced. "Ok. That's good. Coryth, I'll go check on her. Harmony, serve Coryth in any way she desires." With that she quickly took off up the stairs towards Galina's room without waiting for a response.

 

[Coryth Elaris]

Coryth quietly watched the exchange, feeling worse at how stressed the situation seemed to have made Siobhan. It wasn't her place anymore, everything was on Siobhan now.Her eyes shifted to Harmony, feeling a little awkward. "Some water and a quiet, comfortable place to sit for a while would be wonderful." The redhead couldn't dream to ask for more. It just wasn't in her nature. She'd let the woman lead her off, finding a comfortable couch to rest herself on, closing her eyes to soothe her ribs further and just let the quiet settle over her for a little while.

"Of course, Mistress, whatever you need," Harmony said in a soft, gentle tone before she led Coryth to a comfortable couch in the living doom, helping the little redhead lie down and rest after getting some cushions for her to lie on. Then she quickly fetched a glass of water for her.


She seemed to notice that something was bothering Coryth, though she obviously would not know the cause. "Don't look so glum. Mistress Kerrigan cares very deeply about you. You have a place in her heart," she said soothingly. "Would you like a foot massage? It always helps the Mistress relax." In Siobhan's case a sensual massage tended to be foreplay for hot sex. Especially foot worship since she had a strong fetish in that area.

 

[Galina Kerrigan-Alcori]

Galina was in the middle of her differential calculus lesson, scribbling away as she copied the problem from her book onto a sheet of paper in front of her. She hadn't even heard a sound as Siobhan entered the house or come up the stairs to her room. Even if Siobhan would have knocked it was doubtful that Galina would have heard her, as she was completely off in her own little world unable to hear a thing outside of her own thoughts. While it was good for homework, this wasn't good when your mother was worried sick about you, thinking that you might be terribly ill and such. The young woman idly tapped her pencil at the edge of the desk, thinking.

[Coryth Elaris]

"Thank you, dear. It's much appreciated." Coryth said softly, as she laid back on the couch, settling herself comfortably. Reaching out she accepted the glass of water and sipped slowly at it.

"Oh, it's not that. I'm just concerned about the pain I've caused her today. The worry over Galina is my fault I'm afraid." She admitted speaking a little absentmindedly. The woman glanced to her bar and calloused feet, "Sure." She replied softly, thinking there was little harm in it. And who knew, maybe it would get her to relax a little.

"And I know she does care deeply about me. And I her. She's one of the closest friends I have, Harmony. So I worry, about hurting her like this."

Siobhan was the exact opposite of relaxed when she found herself standing in front of Galina's room. She had not sensed anything amiss coming from it. If Galina had been hurt she would have felt something. But still she was very worried. The fact that her daughter did not open the door after she knocked it twice just made her worry even more.



And so she quickly opened the door without waiting for a response, only to find...Galina tapping her pen at the edge of her desk, evidently deep in thought. "Galina...good, you're ok," Siobhan said, relief evident in her voice as she took a deep breath. Only now did she notice that her daughter had clearly been doing homework, as evidence by the paper and textbooks on her desk. She quickly walked over and gave her daughter a big hug. "What are you working on, sweetie?"


Meanwhile, Harmony was helping Coryth relax. "You care so much. She gets very sappy any time she talks about you. And she thinks your feet are really cute," the harem girl could not resist trolling. Soon enough Coryth's feet would be bathed in soothing, relaxing oil and liquids and then the attendant's very skilled and nimble fingers would be working their magic, soothing muscles, fondly and lovingly stroking so that the little redhead's poor, callused feet would finally get the worship they deserved. Suffice to say, Harmony was very good with her fingers. "Would you like me to do your nails, Mistress?" she asked sweetly.

 

[Galina Kerrigan-Alcori]

Galina looked up suddenly, a little startled. "Yes, I am fine." Her brow knitted together, feeling slightly confused. "You are home from work early." Stating the obvious as she looked over her mummy trying to put it all together. "Is ever-y thing, okay?" She asked as she hugged Siobhan back tightly before releasing her mummy, looking all the worried herself.

"Oh, Product rule, in calculus." She pointed to a problem on the page.

Use the Product Rule to find the derivative of f(t) = (4t2 - t) (t3- 8t2 +12)

and to where she'd written lengthy solution out, getting her to the answer.

f'(t) = (8t-1) (t2 - 8t2+12)+(4t2 - t)(3t2 -16t) = 20t2 -132t3 +24t2 + 96t -12

The redhead was beaming proudly as she looked back to Siobhan, so happy with her own progress.

"Yeah, it is, sweetie. Just wanted to see my little angel. And talk about some things with you," Siobhan said softly, looking and feeling a bit embarrassed. A pink hue spread across her cheeks. Everything was fine. Her daughter was just doing...Maths homework.


Err, right, Maths. Siobhan had always sucked at Maths. She understood that it was important, that her little girl was great at it and might some day achieve a massive breakthrough in Physics. Or at least be perfectly equipped to take over the family business and actually understand all the financial issues that always annoyed her mummy. Oh, it was not just Maths. It was calculus! Darn. Siobhan found herself facing the classic problem of a parent with a kid who was a good deal smarter than she was.


Nonetheless Siobhan looked over Galina's shoulder, reading the complex problem she had solved. "That's great, Galina. I'm so proud of you. I...was never any good at Maths. You're really taking after your Mum," she beamed with evident pride.

 

[Galina Kerrigan-Alcori]

"Oh, I see." She smiled sweetly, feeling a bit relieved that all was well after all. "Well, what would you like to talk about?" Her curiousity rising, Siobhan coming home to see her so early in the day couldn't just be able something completely unimportant, could it? No no ... Galina certainly did not believe so.

"Thank you, Mummy." Being with pride as she took a seat at her desk. "I really enjoy it. It's lots of fun. Like puzzle to solve."

"Great. If the family budget ever needs balancing and the numbers confuse me, I'll know who to call," Siobhan said warmly. There was no mockery or sarcasm in her words, she was being quite genuine. Yes, this writer is planning ahead since there's an Apocalypse around the corner. Maybe this time Akala's rising will be less...unimpressive!



Anyhow, now to the question about what she wanted to talk about. "I think you should go see a doctor. You're fine and all, but you came from unknown space and spent eight years alone on that awful island. I just need to make sure you're ok and that you'll get all the vaccinations against diseases. I already called ahead. The doctor's someone I know and trust and I'll be there. She's a bit like Auntie Coryth."

 

[Galina Kerrigan-Alcori]

Galina nodded, "I can do that. I wouldn't mind at all."

She paused hearing what Siobhan wanted to speak on, "A doctor?" Galina looked a little puzzled as she tried to remember if she'd ever been to a doctor. "I don't think I've ever been to one." She finally admitted softly. The redhead had been hurt plenty of times, but there wasn't time for doctors on Sigma. Doctors didn't have time to see people, aside from soldiers. And Galina hadn't been in the military long enough for that. The idea now, one that made her nervous, as she fiddled with her hands, not looking up to Siobhan. The redhead didn't want to admit that the idea frightened her a little. "But I guess it is a good idea to go." There were far too many illnesses out in the galaxy that were easily preventable by vaccine alone. Somethings were not worth the risk.

"It's ok, Galina," Siobhan said softly, reaching out with her flesh hand to gently raise Galina's chin so that she could look her in the eyes. Her other arm, the bionic one, loosely wrapped itself around her shoulder. "I know things were...awful on Sigma. I used to be scared of doctors as well. But she's a good friend. An Eldorai. One of the Priestesses of Ashira I told you about. Her name's Eileithya. She's a healer like Coryth, devoted to helping people. She can come over to our place and check up on you here, so we don't have to fly to her."



It would probably not be a good idea to expose Galina to flying to the Tirathana Skyport, in the light of her experiences. "And I'll be there with you. I just need to make sure you're safe and don't get sick."

 

[Galina Kerrigan-Alcori]

Galina nodded slowly, feeling for a moment as if she'd cry. "They were." Understatement of the century. "You trust her?" She asked softly, the answer was important to her for sure. "I think it's better if she came here. I do not like flying." Not that a soul could blame her for that. Combining her fear of flying and doctors wasn't likely to end well.

The young woman was quiet for a moment, debating the situation for a second before she continued. "If you trust her, and you can be here with me, then it will be alright." Finally smiling a little, as she leaned against her mummy, seeking a brief moment of comfort from Siobhan.

Awful was indeed a colossal understatement, as Siobhan well knew. She could only hope and do her damnedest to make sure that Galina would never have to live such a terrible life again. "I know. I'll tell her to come here then. It'll be no problem. I trust her. She and I know each other well," she said with a completely straight face.



Among other things, they knew each other biblically. As Galina leaned against her, Siobhan gently stroked the redhead's firemane. "So, you're big on Maths? Any other homework you're working on, any book you're reading at the moment?" To Siobhan it seemed impolite and would probably send the wrong message if she left the room right after telling Galina about the doctor. In all likelihood, Coryth was still resting downstairs anyway and she did not want to disturb.


Siobhan had read a couple parenting self-help books after Galina had moved in with her and Tegaea. In most cases they had been utterly useless. Apparently they considered it useful advice to tell parents not to despot their children twenty-four hours a day in front of a television. Siobhan simply could not understand why some parents could neglect their children like that and not involve themselves in their lives. Perhaps she was biased, but her daughter was simply too amazing for her to ignore her like that.

 

[Coryth Elaris]

Her cheeks flushed a cute pink hue at the woman's words. The redhead really couldn't say much in reply. It was the first time ever that Coryth had really ever allowed for her feet to be cared for in such a manner. Though she had to admit, it certainly didn't feel bad. If anything it felt wonderful. Just the kind of relaxation her tired little feet needed. "Mmmm, that feels nice, Harmony dear." Spoken as she moaned softly, shifting a little more comfortably on the couch. "If you'd like, I don't mind at all." That was another thing, Coryth had never had done. Having her nails painted and done, was about the furthest thing from her mind.

Harmony was very skilled at making a woman feel good by giving her feet plenty of worship and love. This was probably no surprise because she happened to be an attendant of Siobhan Kerrigan...who really got off on foot worship. As a matter of fact, a simple massage was not enough for Siobhan, since she loved to have her feet and toes kissed and licked.



Harmony was not going that far with the little redhead, but her nimble fingers would stroke and soothe, rubbing away all the tension Coryth's little feet were feeling. The scent of soothing oils would doubtless contribute to this. Nails would be cut and filed, their tops would be smoothed, skin would be cleaned up and softened. Harmony was cheeky enough to sneak in a few soft kisses she planted on Coryth's ankles before she dried the redhead's feet and then fetched a tube of pink nail polish to apply.


"Pink will look delightful on you, Mistress," Harmony said eagerly and enthusiastically began applying it to her toenails one by one, using gentle, unhurried strokes. The little Jedi Master had clearly been in need of a good pampering. Of course, if she wanted to take things further Harmony would be down for that as well. After all, she got paid for this sort of thing!

 

[Galina Kerrigan-Alcori]

"Okay." The little redhead said softly, as her mind ran through the possibilities. This was probably the one time that her interest in medical holodramas was in fact not a good thing, as numerous over-dramatic possibilities ran through her mind.

Galina sighed as Sio stroked her hair, making her feel somewhat better. "Yes." She said with a small smile. Digging under the papers she pulled out a well worn book, with a few dog-eared pages, clearly something the girl had been spending a long time reading. An Eldorai, the story vaguely Romeo and Juliet that we all know and love, just with a twist of two girls from the wrong families being madly in love. Still with just as tragic and ending as ever. "I picked this up a few days ago, beautiful, but sad story. Star-crossed lovers. Reading is getting easier these days," It might have taken forever, but Galina was finally getting to a more normal state with her Basic and knowledge.

Her daughter was such a cute geek. "Lúthien and Damara?" Siobhan spoke aloud when she laid eyes upon the well worn book. It was clearly ne she was familiar with. Proof that she was a lot geekier than might be apparent on first sight. "You're right, it's a beautiful tale, but very sad and tragic. Love brings two girls together but petty politics dooms them from outset as if by fate. Love can be the most beautiful thing you'll experience in your life, but also the most painful."


It seemed rather like Siobhan was speaking from personal experience. No time like the present to pass on some maternal wisdom. "I'm glad reading is getting easier for you," she smiled brightly at her daughter. "I didn't...really learn to read and write until Adril brought me to the Jedi," she admitted.

 

[Galina Kerrigan-Alcori]

"You know it?" Galina seemed quite gleeful with the knowledge that her mother knew it as well. "It's terrible for them, so wanting everything to work out for them against all odds and so much gets in the way. Things that shouldn't seem to matter." The young woman sighed, running a hand through her hair for a moment. "You think I'll ever find love, mum?" Galina did wonder, and worry on that. Probably more than she should, for someone with some many years ahead of her.

"Oh wow, I didn't know." She said quietly, a little surprised by Siobhan's admission. "Makes me feel a little better, knowing I'm not alone in this just learning things part." She smiled softly, reaching up to hug her mum for a moment before she pulled away.

"Can we sit for a while, on the bed mummy?" She asked quietly, very much just wanting to be held for a while. While she might have been technically a young adult, the redhead very much felt a need for love and attention that she had missed out on in her childhood. And with the idea of doctors, needles and surgeries in her mind, she just found she wished to be near to her mum now, seeking the comfort her her arms. "I just would like to be held for a little while and talk, if that's alright." A small hint, that she was rather worried about the doctor visit and what might come of it. Even if she didn't quite want to admit those fears aloud.

[Coryth Elaris]

Coryth seemed almost asleep. Harmony's wonderous massage had worked a small miracle on the workaholic redhead. The woman could not have looked more blissful and relaxed than she did in that moment. The soothing scents only helping further keep the little woman wrapped up in a state of deep relaxation and contentment.

A soft giggle or two escaped her lips as Harmony kissed her ankles. Coryth, opened her eyes ever so slightly as the woman returned with the nail polish. "Pink... Mmmm, can't remember wearing anything that girly, ever." She said softly, before she closed her eyes once more, getting closer to drifting off to sleep. Something the small woman probably needed given the stress on her body that day and the broken ribs. "Thank you.." She spoke, barely above a whisper, quite clear how happy and pleased she was with Harmony's efforts to relax her and pamper her. "Maybe ... I should let ... someone do this, more often." Who knew, maybe Sio was really starting to rub off on Coryth after all.
