Kaile Vera
Whiskey Girl
Buzz was a small caf stall like any other. There was a kebob place off to the right, with a terminal stationed conveniently to the left for the quick with draw of local credits. It was not unusually busy or empty; the ‘verse would carry on despite the two broken hearts that were moving in opposite directions.
J4’s large form would steadily walk forward, most travelers would avoid being his in his path. He wasn’t remotely threatening by physical means, but he was still a large droid that would tower over Asmus by a good foot and a half.
[ I have found you. ] an obvious commentary. Jay four’s ocular sensors gave a whir, zooming in on Asmus’ face.
[ I will have you know, we have only thirteen minutes before the drop off point expires.] he told Asmus in his informative tone, if a bit amused. These humans were strange indeed.
Extending his arm, he offered the com unit back. [ I have a message to deliver. ]
Back on the Solaris, Kaile had managed to exit atmo. A flurry of adjustments and she would pilot the ship to prepare for hyperspace. The next stop was Vergesso Asteriods. From there Drexel, Ryloth. She would skip over Tatooine, knowing that Kurt would be on Corucant, at the Core worlds. Stars how she wanted to contact him now. To tell him everything. But it wasn’t safe. On top of that, she wanted to know if he was okay. He had sent a message a few weeks back that he would be visiting near the Outer Rim. Kaile could only pray that he was safe and away from the trouble that had unfolded.
He had told her once, years back, that if she ever wanted to come back, she could. That she would always have a place with him in his new ship. That they were family. And stars as much as she wanted to curl into his arms and cry her heart out over Asmus, over everything, Kaile knew that contacting him would be bad. Not now. Maybe later.
Even then, as her mind continued to race, there wasn’t removing that lingering scent of Asmus’ cologne that lingered along the pilot seat she sat at. He was still here, even if Kaile wanted to banish him from her mind, she couldn’t. Eyes welling with tears, lower lip trembling, breaking apart, Kaile cursed, “Damnit!”
The next instant, she activated the hyperdrive. Twin lines left in Solaris’ wake as it disappeared.
