When Taeli spoke, Connor heard little of her breathless voice as he was looking at her lips again wanting to try that again, and then eyes closed as she came back for another kiss...and then the interruption broke everything and woke up his thoughts again.
Nodding as she moved away to take the call, Connor exhaled and stood still where he was, wrapping his arms around his chest. He glanced down at his right arm, the scars there painting a nice memory for him. Looking up into the room where Taeli was, he knew the Force was working to probably remind him not to let his emotion hurt another by keeping them away. In all honesty, he had never instigated a kiss before with another from his own free will - this was something beautiful, and it felt strange, and dangerous, and nice, and scary.
She came back in the room, bringing him back to reality and her face was a picture of conern enough to make him worried. This was business; duty called in an instant and he did owe her. The date, or whatever was going to happen, would have to wait. Maybe this was just another mistake? He hoped not, for his sake.
"Sure, um... I know one of the Knights with a keen interest in combat and has a good team behind him to help as you see fit. I'll contact him."
He was talking about [member="Kei Amadis"] - a fellow Silver who knew wouldn't look at him with judging eyes and simply do his duty. For Connor, there were so much unfinished thoughts and feelings, more so than ever, needing to be addressed, but the players had been moved into a new and dangerous position in the game by an unknown opponent. This was the time to act first, and think later.
