Maybe we can just ease up on that fast forward button for a moment here. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Dorn marvels at the sunset as he leans against the railing of the observation deck, his thoughts as much on the young noblewoman beside him as they are on the lovely display nature is painting just over the horizon. How he even got to this moment is beyond him, and he is almost afraid to speak for fear that it will shatter everything and send him back to the reality of the life he has been leading up until now. He loved being a Jedi. He knew his place in the universe and it pleased him. He didn't even mind that it meant he had to crash on the occasional jungle planet or that he was forced to listen to Sia's constant ribbing. He was happy with all of it.  This, however, was infinitely better than anything he had known before. It was just a sunset...he had seen so many before...strange how the presence of one person changes everything. A few months ago, he would have laughed at the very notion. Things were different now, though, and, while it was confusing, it was also oddly exhilarating. Smiling to himself, Dorn steals a glance at Arani as she admires the sunset. The reddish cast of the light suited her, he thought. Well, to be honest, he thought any light suited her, but this was nice. The way the light outlined her lithe figure and caught her hair...the way her eyes seemed to dance in the shadow of the glare...he hadn't seen anyone like her before. Dorn sighs and glances back at the horizon as the sun dipped behind it. His master would disapprove of these thoughts. Master Aubrin would disapprove of the whole thing. Dorn was sure that, at the very least, it would rate a strong two hour lecture on the perils that personal attachment holds for a Jedi.Better not to think of Master Aubrin now. Dorn refused to spoil things by worrying about that.Dorn looks back to Arani with a small smile, the fading light glinting warmly in his eyes as he regards her."So tell me, Arani. There is something I have been wondering for quite a while now...and tell me if I am being too forward. But...why is it that you don't have a young nobleman waiting for you breathlessly back on Naboo? Or do you, and have I just been completely unobservant?"</blockquote>
