Attica

[Kaili Talith]

One hard gulp was enough for the pill to go down. Kaili’s teeth gritted, her eyes shut in protest as her guts did everything it could to resist the antibiotics that trickled its way down her throat. An errant cough parted her lips. Medicine still tasted the same; horrible. It was the downsides to getting shot in the shoulder with a crossbow, or getting shot in general. The first few moments were over easy, it was the nasty infection that came with it that was the hard part. The binds around the girl’s shoulder and upper arm brought her some small measure of comfort. Something they had called a shoulder spica at the Academy. The bandages hugged her skin like a slightly-too-tight tunic. Parts of white poked out from underneath the arm of her shirt, the only real visual proof of something bad having actually happened.

And to say Kaili had been growing restless was an understatement, but she needed to rest. Her doctor was very strict on that one. To Kaili that meant two things: the shop, and the couch. The old one had long since been discarded and replaced by a new one. A stylish yet amazingly soft couch with place for not just two people, but three. Because leg space was always appreciated. The textile surface poofed up and hissed as the girl collapsed on top of the cushions that caused her back to cry out in joy. Kaili’s bandaged arm remained limp by her side as the other moved a hand up to cover her forehead. Eyes closed in tired resignation as the fatigue of the day slowly crept up on her.

All things considered it wasn’t an easy task to manage a shop by yourself when you only had one arm at your disposal. Perhaps Kaili owed it to herself to hire another employee. The thought had struck her, but the idea as to whether or not she could afford it still struck her increasingly frugal mind. Without a doubt she could, but it was the idea of having to pay someone else to do work that bothered her. Especially if said work wasn’t going to live up to the Kaili Talith standard, which was a standard that had been set pretty damn high at this point. People expected the best and got no less, that was how her store worked.

She shrugged the thought away as she dozed off for the second time this afternoon. A soft snore spread throughout the apartment. Allyson had said she would be back home soon. Kaili had time to rest before then.

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson lugged a pack over her shoulder as she made her way from the speeder bike she had bought along the way. There had been some near death experiences along with a shuttle crash and the like. Rubbing her forehead she hoped that the healing head laceration wouldn’t drive Kaili into a spiral of worry and desire to keep her locked up. Sighing softly, Allyson looked down at Bait who sped off and headed towards the known shop and apartment of the Technomancer gir. He seemed happy to be home and Allyson felt the same way as well. When she had made stops to her own apartment on Yavin, she didn’t get the overwhelming feeling that she had completed a journey. She thought about it and wondered if it was just because of the experiences she had on Borleias or if it was because the girl who lived on the tropical planet.

Reaching the door, she swiped the keycard and the door slid open and Allyson braced herself for the pouncing that usually happened when she opened the door. Closing her eyes she waited and after a few moments she opened those hazel orbs searched the room trying to find the blonde girl who usually waited by the door for her. Narrowing her eyes she looked around and quickly became suspicious. “Bait do a quick scan of the room.” Bait rolled about and scanned the room and then made a few beeps. Allyson wandered over towards the sleeping room and found a knocked out Kaili asleep and of course drooling on the couch.

“New couch, nice.”

Smirking, she slowly put her bags down and crawled on top of the sleeping girl. Soft nuzzles against the girl’s neck started Allyson’s attempt to wake the Talith girl awake. As she nuzzled, she noticed the bandages that poked out from under her shirt. Sitting up, she blinked and raised an eyebrow. “Kaili, wake up?” She poked the girl in the waist as she straddled her. “Kaili, Kaili, Kaili” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Twenty minutes out and Kaili’s cheek was already drowning from the familiar wetness on her cheek. Her mouth was wide open as the hiss-like snores grew louder and louder. She didn’t hear the door open or the sound of Bait as he scanned the room. The feet that softly thudded over to the young woman was lost on her as well. She remained perfectly still as her fever started to kick up again. A thin layer of sweat had formed across the girl’s skin as the Corellian place her lips against the Talith’s neck. The kid gasped in a slow inhale and equally slow exhale while her eyes lazily batted. The world was fuzzy, eyelids proved hard to keep open, but Kaili managed.

“Ohhhh, hey... You.” Kaili smiled as the blurry image of Allyson go all the more clearer. “Missed you.”

A hand reached up for the Corellian’s cheek in a feeble attempt to caress it. Minimal contact was achieved before Kaili collapsed back on the couch. She yawned once more, rolled her head against the soft cushion and began preparations for propping herself up on the couch. She placed all her weight on her left arm, pressed herself upwards and.

“Ah!” She grunted in pain. The arm extended itself and she managed to get herself seated next to her girlfriend. There was no energy there to do anything, no mood to take it anywhere. In this moment Kaili merely existed as she placed her head on the Mandalorian-Corellian’s shoulder. She wrapped herself around the other woman’s arm and began stroking away at it for comfort.

“Sorry, I’m a bit… Out of it.” Kaili sighed. “Ho-...” A snore-like wheeze called out into the room again and Kaili yawned. “How are you?”

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson watched as Kaili moved weakly about. She made quick notice at the sweat that gathered on the girl’s brow. It meant one thing and that was a fever, but why would Kaili have a fever? The girl was pretty healthy in general.Allyson knew there was something seriously up and she figured it was going to take a lot to try and get it out of her. Sighing softly, Allyson did her best to comfort Kaili as much as she could keeping her body relaxed enough so that the blonde could nuzzle into her. The hand attached to the arm that was being used as a pillow, touched lightly on Kaili’s thigh. There was no intention to try and move things towards that way, but just to comfort the girl letting her know that she was there.

“I’m alright, had some trouble this go around, but the jobs got done and I lived.” Looking at the girl a bit more, she leaned to the side the best she could and brushed her lips against the blonde’s forehead. She felt the heat resonating from her and she pulled away. “You’re burning up, what…”

She paused and wished for just that moment that she was capable of using the force beyond her own capabilities. If she was able to, she could heal Kaili and they wouldn't have to go through this. Resting her cool forehead against the burning sands of Tatooine that was Kaili’s forehead she spoke quietly knowing that being loud was the last thing Kaili needed.

“What happened…? Are those bandages?” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

“You did good, I bet.” Kaili wearily interjected as Allyson talked about her job. The worry in Allyson’s voice as she asked about what had happened hadn’t gone unnoticed either. The brush against Kaili’s forehead caused her to feel the warmth of her own fever and she slumped down into Allyson’s shoulder again.

“I got shot during a trip to Dxun.” Kaili would have shrugged it off if it wasn’t for the fact that she was, well, kind of out of it. “Lovely guy, got me right in the shoulder with a bolt and taught me about the Mandalorian culture.”

Wheeze, exhale. Wheeze, exhale. Kaili held back the urge to groan in discomfort.

“Did you know you need armor to be a real-...” Eyelids too heavy. “Real mandalorian, Allyson? The rehsol-...” Yawn. “Reshol-narr demands it.”

“Wear the armor, speak the language, defend yourself, raise your children as Mandalorians, contribute to your clan and always rally to Mandalore.” The arms wrapped around Allyson’s squeezed it just a little tighter. “Fascinating people. Misunderstood, yet not really.”

“I did it for you.” Kaili muttered into Allyson’s shoulder. “I wanted to know who you-...” Wheeze, yawn, snore, headshake to wake up. “Who you work for.”

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson did her best to keep her own temper on lockdown. Someone had put Kaili’s life in danger and she knew it was Kaili herself for going to Dxun, which of course was probably the worst planet Kaili could have gone to, especially if she wanted to learn about Mandalorians. There was danger and they didn’t call it the Demon moon or demon planet - whatever in the karking chaos they called it for nothing. There was something about Kaili that Allyson was learning. The girl never wanted to ask the simple questions - she could have easily have learned about the Mandalorians from Allyson’s limited understanding - but instead Kaili enjoyed doing things herself whether it be the holonet or putting her feet on a Demon Moon/Planet...whatever.

Instead of interrupting, Allyson let the girl finish. There was some sort of obsession about the mandalorians and Allyson really couldn’t put her finger on it. Either way, it was a good thing that Kaili only got shot in the shoulder and came home than the worst that could have happened. Smiling she looked at the girl who was determined to make an armor set for the Corellian. She laughed slightly and shrugged.

“Kaili, I just work for the Mandalorians well Ember to be exact...I’m Corellian.” Pausing she mused over the thought of her being a Mandalorian mostly by adoption if that was a thing. “I mean, I’m technically adopted by Ember and brought into the clan, but that doesn’t make me Mandalorian I think...I don’t know really.”

Deciding she should try and push off the armor creation, mostly because it would be beneficial to her girlfriend’s health, Allyson patted the girl and did her best to make her comfortable where she was. “You worry less about armor and just sleep. The fever indicates that your shoulder is infected...you need to rest. Did you clean out the wound at least?” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

With time Allyson would learn about Kaili’s greatest flaw as more and more of her old self resurfaced. The inextinguishable idea of immortality and luck that constantly had the girl seeking out new and dangerous adventures. The two might have lived a peaceful life right now, but once things kicked into high gear and once the shop had reached a stable ground with a proper amount of employees the complaints would keep rolling. Dxun would be a pale image in comparison to that as the duo plunged shoulder-deep into ancient tombs in search of ancient technology that may or may not even be there to begin with.

Kaili groaned like an insolent child.

“I don’t wanna.” She pouted. “I’m not even-...” Snore, wheeze. “Tired.”

“I cleaned the wound!” Kaili exclaimed as she shook herself awake again. “It’s just my immune… System… Working at…” Snore, wheeze. “Max capacity.”

The young woman collapsed on the couch again.

“I am just gonna… Lie down for a bit.” All things considered, the wound was on it’s way to heal. The stitches held it together, and the girl cleaned it on regular occasion before applying new bandages on herself. It had just been a day or so since last. She had been too tired for it. “I love you.” She whispered before the world faded back to black again. “I want soup.”

A smile crept on her lips. If man-colds were bad, Allyson was about to experience something worse.

... A Kaili-cold.

Force have mercy on her soul.

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson didn’t smile, the look of concern remained plastered on her face as she stared at the girl who was doing her best to get comfortable on the couch to pass out again. The expression of love and the desire for soup probably were lined up the way they were on purpose. A smile tugged at the corner of Allyson’s lips as she couldn’t keep the serious look on her face. “I love you too and I’ll get you soup - but first I want to clean up your wound and give you new bandages before you pass out and you drool all over it.” Despite Kaili feeling like utter poodoo, Allyson too advantage at throwing in that little quip.

Standing, she looked around mostly for any area that Kaili had placed the bandages. Remembering she had seen a small kit on the kitchen counter, she walked slowly and grabbed it. Opening it up she saw the antibiotics along with some bacta and bandages. Making a count, she looked at Bait. “Go on the holonet and order some more bacta and bandages - have it delivered as soon as they can Bait.” The small droid nodded and went right to work on getting the supplies needed for Kaili’s long road to recovery.

“Oh and order some of that wonton soup from that one Atrisan place.” The droid beeped and didn’t argue for once. Probably because the soup was for Kaili who he really did enjoy. Droid crush...most likely. Allyson kneeled on the floor near the couch and used an antibacterial wipe to clean her hands so that she could not infect Kaili more than she probably already was. “Removing your shirt is going to hurt so bear with me okay?” The shirt removal was painful and she fully expected to get smacked - hopefully tired Kaili also meant non lethal Kaili.

“Work with me okay? And I’ll totally spoon feed you the soup.” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

Eyes slowly opened to fight off the encroaching fatigue. A slimy inhale sounded off as Kaili propped herself up against the couch with yet another groan. Her head pulsed in agony and the lights grew brighter for a second as they got themselves used to the quick ascent. Her head leaned heavily against the top of the soft couch cushion, her eyelids closed again. Allyson came closer with the medpac.

A thumb up was raised at Allyson.

“Good, disinfect the hands to get the worst of the bacteria off your hands.” This was after all what Kaili had almost majored in. Medicine and First Aid. “What you do is that you… That you grab the bandage and start with my upper-... Upper arm.” She extended it for Allyson’s shoulder. A compromise for Kaili to not have to carry all her weight herself. Only problem was that the shirt wasn’t even off yet, nor was the wound cleaned. “Roll the bandages along the upper arm to get a good cover, but not too tight or you will strangle my-...” Snore, wheeze. Headshake. “My blood circulation, and we don’t want that.”

… Yet.

“It’s easy… Peasy…” Kaili let out a half-hearted chuckle. “You got this.”

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson of course didn’t comment that she had learned basic first aid while with the Rekali clan, the last thing she wanted to do was make Kaili feel silly for instructing her on something she knew already. Sighing softly, she listened and followed Kaili’s guidance, removing the dressings was probably going to be more painful than actually putting new ones on. So Allyson did her best to focus on being gentle as she changed the blood stained dressings. There was an odd smell of almonds, which was never a good thing and was a sign of infection. Reaching into the kit she grabbed some antibacterial bacta and squirted it onto her hands. Gently, she placed the bacta onto the wound. Another bit of gauze was used to wipe her hands and then she used it to clean away any dead skin or dried blood from the bolt wound. It would help promote the skin’s regrowth and scabbing.

“That thing did a number on you, Cyar’ika” The mando’a came easily from the Corellian as she had been forced to learn the language when she was with the clan. Some didn’t speak basic, especially the workers in the hangers. Knowing the language earned respect from them and at times it got her a few extra bonus things when she was in port. Gathering the new bandages she placed them on to the wound and began to wrap up Kaili’s shoulder and then her upper arm. Standing up, she walked to her bag and removed a tank top which would make it easier fo them to change the bandages more often than having to work her out of a t-shirt. Along with the t-shirt, she moved to the kitchen to grab a bowl, a towel and some cold water.

Moving back to Kaili’s side, she helped work the girl into hte tank top. “I know I know it hurts, it's okay.” When the shirt was on Allyson sat on the floor next to the couch. She grasped Kaili’s hand that wasn’t attached to the injured arm. Bringing the hand to her lips she kissed the girl’s knuckles, “I’m happy that you’re alive by the way.” Her free hand squeezed the towel free of any lingering water and she brought it to Kaili’s forehead which was still burning up. Dabbing the towel against the girl’s face she leaned up and kissed her softly on the lips.

“I love you and I’m not leaving your side till you’re feeling 100% again okay?” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

“SON OF A BIT-” Kaili bit her tongue as hard as she could while the bacta burned against her open wound. The antibacterials was the one part she always daddled lightly with when it was just Kaili herself doing all the work. Her teeth grinded as Allyson swabbed away, got everything out of the wound. “Mhm.” Kaili hissed as she was bolted awake again.

Allyson went to get water and all Kaili could do was slump into her seat with a look of shock. Her mouth tasted like copper and she stuck it out to get a look at it, or rather a prod. Blisters, no new open wounds. She let out a sigh of relief and closed her eyes for a brief moment of relief. Allyson came back, Kaili sat up again and hunched over her legs while supporting herself with the non-infected arm. Not that it remained there for long.

A tank top was pulled over Kaili’s head in an effort to find her something more comfortable to wear. Nurse Allyson grabbed Kaili’s hand and kissed it much like a prince would kiss a princess. The girl smiled and back into her seat. Towel on her forehead she felt their lips touched. Arms wanted to wrap themselves around Allyson and do so much more, but the energy just wasn’t there.

She settled for yet another smile before lying down proper on the couch.

“I love you too.” She murmured as her back was caught in the softer fabrics of the new couch. Legs curled up for Allyson to have some space if she wanted it. “Movie?”

Lazy hand waved the nearby screen awake.

“You pick.”

[Allyson Locke]

[SIZE=10pt]Allyson felt terrible, she hated seeing Kaili in pain like this. She tried her best to make sure things weren’t as bad as they could have been. Seeing that Kaili had settled down a bit, Allyson signed with a bit of relief. At least that ordeal was over for the most part, though she knew when it was time to change things again it would be a horrible experience again. For both of them. Seeing that Kaili had moved her feet, Allyson stood and sat into the couch. She pulled the blonde’s legs into her lap and she did her best to give Kaili a makeshift foot massage. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]“A movie? Uh what about star wars, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.” Allsyon smirked knowing all well that it was just a story about the Skywalkers an old family and essentially a documentary/biography of how the family utterly screws up the galaxy. Shrugging, she did enjoy the film even though it was a bit exaggerated. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]“That or we could watch another zombie flick or something” Tilting her head she looked at Kaili, the girl looked as if she was going to pass out the moment the film came on. Shrugging, she would enjoy whatever film was the final choice, but she knew she was just as tired as Kaili and would eventually fall asleep as well. [member="Kaili Talith"][/SIZE]

 

[Kaili Talith]

It was funny how Allyson would make mention of the Star Wars documentary out of all the films she could possibly have decided to mention. Just the other day Kaili had been chewing on her pills whilst browsing the holonet about and come to a very distinct realisation: There was a lot of alternate history geeks out there. Entire forums dedicated to writing what-if stories starring characters of their own. Kaili had to admit, it struck her as a bit of fan fiction, but heck who hadn’t dabbled with that every now and then? Sometimes perverting history was pretty great. What if the Skywalkers had never existed, were all dead or just irrelevant by now?

One of the more active forums was dedicated to that and it was pure chaos. Kaili had thought about joining in, but quite frankly the salt-o-meter went through the roof at first lurk and she decided against it.

“I could go for that.” Kaili nodded and reached for the remote. “It’s already on the hard drive.”

With the click of a button the movie was loading up.

“Episodes four to six, or one to three?” Trick question. Nobody wanted to see Episodes one to three. “Good choice.” Started the movie and made herself cozy against the cushion on the couch.

“Do you think it’s true what they say? That Luke actually spent his first few years as a moisture farmer? That sounds so incredibly dumb, he was the grandmaster! They don’t start as moisture farmers.”

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson actually preferred the one to three, mostly because of the love story involved - but you’d have to get passed Vader’s original self Anakin’s whiny baby moments. There was something about him that bothered most people which was understandable, but once you got past that the story between Padme and Anakin was quite amazing. Their story was what sparked the events that happened in four through six. Either way, Allyson was quite fine with watching the original three in the documentary it was what people preferred and she could tell that’s what Kaili wanted to see. Though Allyson knew if she was the one with the gunshot to the shoulder they’d be watching the first three...probably skipping the first one - because that was just horrible.

Settling in, Allyson looked over at Kaili as she mentioned something about Master Luke’s humble beginnings. Allyson couldn’t help but chuckle. The man was responsible for bringing about the new order of Jedi and basically restarting something that was unheard of after the Empire had taken over. Musing over the man’s start in life she shrugged. “I guess it makes a good story if it wasn’t real. I like to think it was mostly because it just shows that anyone even moisture farmers can do something to change the outcome of the galaxy.”

Watching Kaili, she sighed softly and smirked. Gently as possible, Allyson pulled Kaili towards her and adjusted so that the girl could curl up against her. Despite not being gone as long as she had been the first time they were apart, Allyson missed being close like this. The couch was big enough for the girl to curl up and use Allyson’s lap as a pillow for the most part. “I uh want to keep an eye on you so lay like this.” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

“But they are usually-” Kaili began before she was pulled closer to Allyson again. “-born into the Order, Skywalker must have-” There was a quick pause as the Talith kid shuffled around in the hopes of getting more comfortable. “-been born into it, right?”

There was no comfort to be had, at least not any real comfort. Kaili ended up lying flat on her stomach with her head propped up against Allyson’s thigh. Her uninjured arm propped her up somewhat to allow air to flow more freely, but other than that Kaili’s comfort was only ever fleeting unless Allyson was to change place.

“This is uncomfortable.” The girl whined as she sat up again and felt the world starting to spin. Her head rested against the top of the cushion again. “With my arm, I think you need to switch sides, Allyson.” Kaili snickered. Her eyes started to close. “I mean, unless you want me to stare at them abs you got.”

“Which really, isn’t as fun with your sh-...” Snore, wheeze. “...-. on…”

“... I’m tired.”

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Allyson watched as the injured and drugged Kaili attempt to become comfortable. She did her best to do what Allyson had wanted, but in the end Allyson figured her desire to have the girl use her as a pillow was going to be in vain. Kaili sat up and attempted to be cute and flirt her way to possibly something more, but Allyson shook her head and ran the tips of her fingers against Kaili’s face. “I can move for you, so you can watch the film and be comfortable.” As she spoke she nuzzled Kaili nose to nose. Standing she looked towards the droid who had been ordered to get soup. There was a faint beep which indicated that the soup was on its way.

Switching sides didn’t take too long and with her being on Kaili’s other side she snuggled the girl towards her. “You can fall asleep during the film; I’ll wake you up when your soup arrives.” There was this urge to keep her hands on Kaili, some sort of way to make sure that she was still there and that none of this was just a dream. The thought of having Kaili in the line of danger caused a pit in her stomach to twist and knot. To think that there could be a time that there was no one to come home to again drained the color out of Allyson’s face.

Right then and there, Allyson mentally made note to not lose Kaili. If for some reason the relationship as they were didn’t work out – she would still do her best to protect the curious Borleian. Sighing softly, she whispered quietly and wondered if Kaili would hear what she had to say. “Don’t do this again please, just knowing that I could have lost you…it kills me…” [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

There was a small mock frown on Kaili’s lips as her attempt at wooing her quarry was denied. There would be no bare abs, but there would be soup, which in the end was an equally beneficial deal of feel-goods. A finger traced along the side of Kaili’s face before she was nuzzled. A grin spread across the girl’s face in response.

Allyson swapped sides and Kaili was able to find herself a position that was actually comfortable. Her head rested against Allyson’s thigh, her eyes closed and the inevitable was allowed to happen.

Snore, wheeze.

Snore, wheeze.

Snore, wheeze.

Drool.

[member="Allyson Locke"]

 

[Allyson Locke]

Kaili was passed out and Allyson was left to her own devices. Looking towards Bait, the droid answered the door and got the soup. “Keep it warm and let her sleep a little” Looking back down at the blonde in her lap, Allyson rested her hand gently on the girl’s head and cafuned her softly. The movie continued and Allyson fought the urge to wiggle her leg because of the wet sensation that was now soaking her thigh. As much as she wanted this to be a different sensation, she knew it was Kaili and her snoring - which caused the drool.

Some time passed and Allyson found herself nodding off. Her head hung back on the couch and she soon passed out as well. Bait rolled over and made a sighing beeping noise, he soon went to the soup and made it hot in hopes that the aroma would wake the sleeping girls. [member="Kaili Talith"]

 

[Kaili Talith]

As far as fever dreams went, Kaili’s were pretty tame. In fact to say she actually had a fever dream would be inaccurate. Allyson was there, the sweat was certainly there as well as the slight nibble at the lower lip. In reality what it meant was a sign of two things: a fever and hunger. The dream was going splendid, yet half-way through something began to feel off. The smell of onion filled the room and a distinct growl rumbled in her stomach. Things started to fade, the disappointment grew stronger until eventually there was a slight groan as Kaili opened her eyes.

“Not now.” She mumbled. “Why now?”.

Her hand pushed at Allyson’s leg, right above her knee cap for support as Kaili got up.

“Soup?” She let out a groggy stare across the room to see Bait. “Soooup.”

“I want soooup.” Hand poked at Allyson. “Could you get me my soup?”

[member="Kaili Talith"]

Allyson’s dreams were so much better, mostly involved a healed Kaili and the rest of the fun stuff. Of course Allyson fought hard as she kept hearing the word ‘soup’ in the back of her head. She knew where it was coming from. She continued to ignore it the best could especially since in her dream Kaili was defeating the clothes boss. Though Allyson knew that this would never happen, the sharp pain in her knee woke her up and she came face to face with a crusty drool faced Kaili.

“Ah soup?” Allyson looked at Kaili and had a moment of where she wondered if this was how the rest of their lives was going to be. Drool and crusty, the thought made Allyson force a smile as she looked at the drugged Talith. Still, even with Kaili and her white drool stain crusting along her chin...Allyson would still sleep with her and love her.

That’s what Love was right? “Right, right soup. Bait!” The droid was already on it hearing his ‘Droid Princess’ voice. A few beeps and an extended arm, Allyson grabbed the bowl of wonton soup and smiled. “Got your soup!”
