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

[Arani Korden]

Valara looks deeply into Sia's eyes, and its not a friendly look, not at all. She gives an angry shake of her head that sets her braids to swaying, almost hitting the nose she had so recently broken. "I am not HIS woman," she says angrily, "not anyone's but myself."

Valara leaves the gym not waiting for an answer. Taking the turbolift back to the suite, she takes hold of the bathroom so recently vacated by the noble woman. Sighing she starts the bath flowing letting billowing clouds of steam obscure her as she slipped into the tub. Out of curiosity she poured a layer of bubbles into the tub which covered her much more thoroughly then the steam had.

ooc: Good move. I know from experience that a bubblebath will make everything better.

 

[Arani Korden]

"I feel almost like I'm taking my first steps into a larger world. A world where destiny doesn't matter as much. Does that make any sense? I know these kinds of things probably sound silly coming from a Jedi..."

Dorn smiles at Arani and then looks away, laughing softly, almost as if he is a little embarrassed.

"I don't know, Arani...am I making any sense at all? Or should I just be quiet now before I completely ruin this lovely evening?"

Dorn grins casually, but his hand still rests lightly against hers, and his eyes betray his emotions despite dusk's darkening light.

Arani suddenly notices that she's shivering slightly, and not from the cold.

"I think . . . . . I think if we talk about the future any more, I'm going to start crying. We're here, and we're together right now. I never thought I'd even have this much."

Arani smiles at Dorn, her pale blue eyes twinkling in the growing darkness.

"I think you're supposed to kiss me now."

 

[Sia-Lan Wezz]

OOC: Pulls out a hankie and dabs at her eyes. Then plots her next match-making scheme...

 

[Dorn Tavers]

Arani smiles at Dorn, her pale blue eyes twinkling in the growing darkness.

"I think you're supposed to kiss me now."

Dorn's dark eyes search Arani's, his mind suddenly unable to comprehend anything beyond her nearness to him. As he leans in close to her, time seems to freeze and he feels his heart suddenly trying to hammer its way through his chest. Feeling almost like he has found himself in some master artist's sunset dream brought to life, Dorn quietly brushes his lips against Arani's in a kiss that he had never even thought possible before this moment. His mouth lingers against hers before he pulls back slightly to look into her eyes again, his hand reaching up to lightly trace the outline of her cheek as he smiles.

"Does this mean that you won't be avoiding me so much anymore?"

 

[Dorn Tavers]

OOC: Hey, maybe it's time you used those remarkable matchmaking skills of yours for your own benefit!

OOC: Matching making the matchmaker? Inconceivable! That's just simply not allowed.

 

[Arani Korden]

"Does this mean that you won't be avoiding me so much anymore?"

"I haven't decided yet. You may need to kiss me a few more times."

There's a voice at the back of Arani's head, telling her that it can't last, that there can be no happy ending. And she knows the voice is right.

Tomorrow, she tells herself. We'll worry about the future tomorrow.

Meanwhile, back in the gym...

"Raaargggggh!" THUD. Several hundred pounds of Wookie lands on Vor'en, and proceeds to try and twist his arms behind his back.

OOC: Attempting to pin.

 

[Kelko]

Is it just me, or does Kaz have a look of bloodthirsty lust in his eyes? the Rodian asked himself as he arranged his cards. I guess it would figure. The hick can't even figure out gender. He sighs softly, shifting his cards to one hand and absently moving the other down his knee, as if rubbing it. Actually, it was to get it closer to the comfort of his boot-concealed holdout blaster.

He was reminded of those old space westerns that they showed late night on the vids. He imagined himself a drifter, moving from dustball place to place, getting into shootouts with unsavoury types over the last bottle of liquour.

Gazing at the Zabrak with large unblinking black eyes, Kelko dropped his cards to the table, showing his hand. "What do ya got?" he asked, his voice tense, his grip a split second from the holster of his blaster.

 

[Set Harth]

Set wiggles and streches his nose, test it out before sighing in relief. At Valara outburst Set looks at her wide eyed then at Sia.
He stands up to look down on Sia. "Now you done it. I wish you would keep your nose out of it. Valara and I are confused enough without your help." Set follows Valara out of the gym but wisely gives her needed time to herself. So Set decides to wonder off out of the hotel, curious about the duels that Deel mentioned eariler. "Humm I wonder if I can find one of those duels taking place."
