The Star Wars Iconic Characters and the Lords of the Expanse: Hunting Grounds...

[Set Harth]

Set and Valara's lip part as the both take a moment to catch their breath.

"Val I... sigh We should get some rest we have a hunt to prepare for, and I intend for us to win." Set flashes his crocked grin, holding his hand out for her to take.

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

Sen heads to his room to sleep and think... and dream about home.

 

[Rorworr]

"Like I said before, I'm not big with the deep thinking. So the Jedi do get frisky then." Rorworr again grins at Sia. "Who knows, maybe we can find you a hunky Jedi dude."

Rorworr strolls back into the lounge, moving over to the window to stand beside Arani. "Sooo, Sia tells me that you're getting on quite well with Dorn." He quietly says with mock casualness, raising one eyebrow at the noblewoman. "When did all of this happen?"

 

[Arani Korden]

Rorworr strolls back into the lounge, moving over to the window to stand beside Arani.

ooc: Arani's in her bedroom, but is happy to let Rory come in.

"Sooo, Sia tells me that you're getting on quite well with Dorn." He quietly says with mock casualness, raising one eyebrow at the noblewoman. "When did all of this happen?"

"It was a surprise." Arani grins. "I was looking for something to do, and Dorn came in, and before I could stop myself I invited him out for a walk. And we stopped right about there," Arani points at the distant balcony. "Right where that couple is . . . oh."

Arani turns from the window. "Oh, Rory. I didn't mean to tell him, but I'm so glad I did!"

 

[Rorworr]

"I'm glad as well." Rorworr hugs Arani. "It's good to see you really happy, and to be honest, I think the rest of us are relived you're not going to be moping around each other any more." He smiles at Arani, before continuing.

"When's Dorn going to tell Sen? If he wants moral support, I'm more than happy to give him a hand. And why in the name of the Force did you tell Sia if you want to keep it quiet? She'll burst if she doesn't get to tell some... Ah, that's where I came in, very clever." Rorworr nods approvingly.

 

[Arani Korden]

"When's Dorn going to tell Sen? If he wants moral support, I'm more than happy to give him a hand. And why in the name of the Force did you tell Sia if you want to keep it quiet? She'll burst if she doesn't get to tell some... Ah, that's where I came in, very clever."

Arani gives the Wookiee an enthusiastic counterhug. "Got it in one. She gets to tell you, and she's happy, you're happy, everybody's happy. All that diplomacy training has to be good for something.

I don't know when Dorn's planning on telling Sen, but I think he'd appreciate all the help he can get. Wookiees make everything better." She hugs Rory again. "At least in my experience."

 

[Vor'en Kurn]

Vor'en detaches himself from the wall. "So which one of these is mine?" He gestures carelessly with the hand holding the blaster rifle. I'm lucky that a soilder can get sleep anywhere he thinks, because this seems like a rowdy bunch. Hell, the redhead consitutes a rowdy bunch by herself.

 

[Dorn Tavers]

Dorn lingers in the suite for a few minutes after Arani goes to her room, feeling sort of like she took all of the light with her when she left. The young padawan smiles quietly to himself, though, as he thinks of the wonderful evening he just spent in Arani's company. He knows he will see her again tomorrow, and that is enough to make him want to go to sleep, even though he doesn't feel remotely tired.

As Sen heads off to his own quarters, Dorn smiles slightly and waves to his fellow Jedi. For a moment Dorn looks almost like he wants to say something to Sen, but, in the end, he lets his friend pass without remark.

Time enough for that conversation later, he thinks to himself.

Absently rubbing the back of his head, Dorn sighs and heads for his own quarters. He would meditate a bit, and hopefully, after that, sleep would find him. They all had a big day tomorrow, and he would do his best to prepare himself for the upcoming events. He knew, though, that the last thing on his mind as he drifted off to sleep tonight would be Arani and the the memory of the sunset that they had shared.

Dorn smiles at that thought as his bedroom door slides shut behind him, bringing an end to the wonderfully eventful day.

 

[Pbartender]

Early the next morning...

Mrlsst's golden sun breaks over the distant horizon. Thin shafts of light pierce the blinds of hotel suite's windows, striping the western walls with a warm amber glow. No sound nor motion disturbs the tranquility of the deserted common room.

The front door chimes.

 

[Arani Korden]

Lady Arani Korden, lately of House Cadriaan, drools. The sound of the door chime startles her awake, and she slides out of bed and lands on the floor with a thump.

"lousy stinking visitors what kind of time do they call this don't they know i'm trying to sleep I'll be right there!" She calls brightly. She throws a robe on over her nightgown "at least at home we have servants to answer the blasted door but i guess i have to get it myself since it takes more than a door chime to wake these people up" steps out into the suite "they could sleep through explosive decompression especially since they have arani to fall back on 'arani'll get the door, let's just sleep for a few more hours'" and opens the door with a cheerful "Good Morning!"
