Catcher in the Ra

[yancep96]

Flinx grabbed his package and manuverd his way to the bridge, with litteraly no effert he connects up the life support and bb-3 plugs in and sarts running diagnostics and downloading as much info as he can that was non-personal. Flinx used the com, "everything's all set up here sweetheart" Flinx hoped she wouldn't recoil ant his familiarity in his tone.

 

[Ra'a'mah]

Within the span of time where Ra connected the lights and they came up around the ship, Flinx had fixed the life support. She reached over to her own coms pad.

"Wait a few minutes before taking off that mask, the ship needs to cycle through and refill the oxygen. If you take it off now, then you're going to suffocate and that's not something I want."

His calling her sweetheart didn't even register in her mind until after she stopped talking. Taking a moment to think, Ra sat back on her heels, she wondered what he meant. Attaching the last connection below, she rose up and climbed out of the compartment.

She stood up and gently broke the connection of her mask to her face. While the air wasn't entirely fresh, it was enough that she could breath without her mask on. Holding it in one of her hands, Ra went to the bridge to double check everything. She didn't doubt Flinx's work, but this ship was her baby now and wanted everything to be perfect.

"Ok just need to make sure the galley is good and stocked now."

Smiling at Flinx, she went back to commons area, grabbed up the last of thier supplies and headed into the galley. Pressing the comms, "if you want to join me here you can".

 

[yancep96]

Flinx came to the galley a smile on his face, he had long taken off the mask as soon as she had said it was ok. Now he sat back in the booth admiring how she looked swicshing around in an environment she was comfy with. he typed a message to BB-0 back on his ship to follow the YT should they make a jump to hyperspace.

 

[Ra'a'mah]

Quickly placing the items where they belong, Ra soon had everything away in the galley. She grabbed herself and Flinx a drink, tossing him his, she opened hers and gulped about half of it down before stopping.

"Thank you very much for your help, Flinx."

She looked over at him and almost blushed. She hadn't given him a tour of the ship.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry I didn't show you around. I'm just glad you knew where the bridge was."

After speaking, she loo​ked down at the floor and back up at her friend. She took his hand and gave him a quick tour, ending up back at the galley.

"Excuse me just a moment."

Ra left him standing the​re to go to her quarters and changed quickly into different clothing. When she returned, she was wearing a black shirt with arms loose enough to carry her knives, black pants and her sturdy boots. Her hair was braided again and the little ball in place at the end.

 

[yancep96]

Flinx marveled at how clean her ship was and when she had changed he marveled at her beauty and he projected to her though their link how he saw her. He was getting better at communicating without speaking to her.

 

[Ra'a'mah]

Ra watched as admiration of her ship and herself flitted through Flinx's eyes. They now had a connection, both having seen the other at their weakest moments, through this connection they had a bond. This bond allowed Flinx to project to her some of his thoughts and feelings.

He saw her moving like a cat, with grace, beauty and hidden strength. With the ability to kill when needed, either to defend herself, one she cared about or something she possessed. Flinx also saw her as somebody who has her life in order and is stubborn. He also saw weakness in her or what she saw as one in herself-the hidden need to have somebody with her. To be a companion. To give her strength when she was weak, one she could rely on for support and do the same in return.

For a moment, her own thoughts weren't blocked and he would be able to pick up on her confusion at what she just saw. Her own thoughts of her future, where she was going and what she wanted to accomplish. He could feel the empty spot in her life where her captain had once been, one that he might fill if it was meant to be.

They were silent through all of this and after what felt like an eternity, Ra brought herself back to reality and cleared her throat.

"So where to now?"

 

[yancep96]

Flinx saw her vision, her memory of her captain. he the sent the same memory back but instead replaced her captain with herself and her younger self with a younger version of Flinx. He sent her his feeling that she had rescued him from his aimless life. "if you have no objections, I say we go to the ruins of the ancient Jedi library on Ossus. My mother used to be a researcher there."

 

[Ra'a'mah]

Ra looked down at her hands a moment, digesting the vision Flinx sent to her. She was only 23, hardly one old enough to be a captain let alone one with the ability to take another with her. She thinks she understands what he's trying to think. It wouldn't quite be the same type of realtionship she had with her captain. One more of an alliance or joining of paths. Travelling together, searching for answers, raising new questions about eachother and thier place in the galaxy.

"That sounds good, Flinx."

She didn't quite smile at him, but the faint traces of it, colored her words.

"Give the corridinates and I'll meet you there."

 

[yancep96]

"Oh dont worry bb-3 already has the coordinates programed, and my other droid bb-0 who is perminately wired into my ship will follow us."

 

[Ra'a'mah]

"Let's go then."

Ra smile now at him and h​eaded into the cockpit of her ship. She set the alarm and switched the lever to get to hyperspace.
