"I know, honey. I am not thrilled by this either. At least we are together." He leans in and kisses her. Then he opens a can of stew and dumps it into a pot to warm. He places the pot over the fire. He stirs the stew.

The sun was slowing lay setting over the ocean. "The view is good."

The view was good, uncluttered by anything flying over, or blocking it out. "Yeah you are right Hawk. It could be worse" She looked at the stew, interesting.

"Ive never eaten something from a can.' She looked at Hawk, concerned about what was that really in the can.

Hawk raises an eyebrow. "Not even as a kid." He says with disbelief. " wow..I've unfortunately have many times in my life. Don't worry it won't taste too bad, it is much better than rations."

When the stew was heated, he poured it into two bowls. He handed her one with a piece of bread and a spoon. He digs into his stew. "Not bad." He says after he eats a bite.

She hoped he was right, sometimes the rations were sawdust and grainy this appeared to have liquid. She tried not to wrinkle her nose. She shivered at the thought of having to eat it.

Zeltrons could eat a lot, but it didn't mean that ate everything.

She took the bowl and lookec losely, "yeah..." her stomach growled. She'd love a strong drink. "Ok.." She put the spoon in the brown liquid oozed. She smiled and brought it up to her lips...I can do this she thought she opened and felt it on her tongue.

Yep, processed meats...and things...she pushed herself to chew, and grabbed a water and washed it down.

"It is better than starving Hawk.." She'd have bantha steak when they were rescued at the best restaurant on Zeltros.

He tried not to laugh at her expression. But failed in hIs attempted. He chuckled. "Not by much." He joked. He finished every drop of his stew. It was pretty good considering. He puts his bowl down next to the empty can.

"Tomorrow I will back to the ship get more supplies. Try find the scanner and ax or saw...we have to build a more permanent shelter. " They were lucky that it was nice out. No hint of a storm.

"It almost romantic". He says as the sun sets. The warm glow of the fire casting a pretty light on Leilani.

"A more permanent structure? You think it will be that long before someone finds us?" She didn't know how to feel about that. Great she was with Hawk, and stuck here...with...just their wits..

Oh she had told him once before she did not do well with things like this...

She sighed and stabbed something that looked like a tuber. "yes almost romantic.."

They crashed today, had stew for dinner, had to sleep outside, and...she didn't know if they would ever get off of here.

"Not sure. Better to plan for the worse and hope for the best." He says taking her empty bowl. He goes to the edge of the beach and rinse them out wth sea water. He put the bowls away and grabs couple of blankets from their supplies.

He spreads on the blanket on the beach near the fire. He toss a few pieces of wood on the fire before laying down on the blanket. "There enough room on the blanket for you to join me."

 

[Leilani Paaie]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

"well im not sleeping alone out here" She moved over to the blanket smiling. "course you knew that, right?"

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

"I had a feeling." He says with smile. He wraps an arm around waist. He kisses her. "If I had to be stranded on the island. I'm glad it was you." His hand gently strokes her hip.

"You tired?" He asks feeling a little frisky.

 

[Leilani Paaie]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

Was she tired..yes in some ways, but she had to admit that the intimacy would be a comfort, "no..." She smiled and kissed him softly.

Day Two

Hawk woke up naked with Leilani on the beach with a blanket covering them. His kisses the top of her head as he listen to the birds tweeting and gently sounds of waves lapping against the beach.

He toss a few branches into the fire pit. They had to keep the fire going. He was going to make breakfast before he goes out in the raft to ship .

She didn't move very much she was tired and her body was griping about food, and movement. she looked up lazily at Hawk who was going to make breakfast. Ok it wasn't room service it was beach service.

Fine..she smiled, "what's for breakfast?"

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

"Morning sweetheart." He eases on a pair shorts. Her questions about breakfast was a good one. What were they going to eat? He looked through the supplies for breakfast type food.

"Lets see...hmmmmm. A can of peaches." He could make a peach type cobbler. He had all the ingredients for it. He open the can and the other stuff in the pan. He placed a coffee pot on the fire. "It a good thing. I went camping when I was a kid. My dad was a nut. We weren't allowed to bring food. We had to live off the land."

 

[Leilani Paaie]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

"Morning. Really Nathan was like that. I find that...difficult to imagine considering how he acted when I last saw him" She wasn't sure right now, "peaches are good, cobbler is good...and cafe hmm might be good."

She got up and looked for water too, she needed something wet. "I didn't hear much last night, its kind eerie quiet don't you think?"

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

"Yeah. Nathan has changed over the years. It almost like he is two different people." He put the pan of the fire watching it carefully. They couldn't afford to waste any food. "Yeah. I couldn't hear much over your snoring." He says trying to be funny. Leilani was right. It had been quiet. He expected more animal sounds.

 

[Leilani Paaie]

[member="Hawk Solo"]


"Yeah, my snoring really they animals stayed away cause they couldn't figure out what bear had moved onto the beach" She smiled she could be funny too, "We need to look arrund today, and you need to take dip to get the scanners."

She was also bossy.

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

"Yes Dear." He says with a wink. "First, we eat. Breakfast I served my lady." He gives her a bowl filled with peach cobbler. "I wish we had ice cream." He says as he digs in. "Hmmm. So good." He pour a cup of caf. He had brewed on the fire. He put a mug of caf for her in the flat log that was doubling for a table.

"Going to hate it when the coffee gone."

 

[Leilani Paaie]

[member="Hawk Solo"]

She laughed, "Well maybe by them we either get rescued or find something that replaces the caf" She was just out of sorts on all of this really. Maybe now was a good time to talk about everything.

This way...she wouldn't feel like out of sorts around him.

"Ya know this does give us an opportunity to talk about some things, while we figure out what to do next." She smiled, she tried to figure out what he was thinking from the look on his face.

But it just eluded her.

 

[Hawk Solo]

[member="Leilani Paaie"]

Hawk grins. She was right. . They did have plenty of time to talk without distractions of every day life. "Yes it does." He says than takes a drink of his caf. "What do you want to discuss?" He knew his feeling for her. He was in love with her. "The weather?...our relationship? ...your feeling for me?"

 

[Leilani Paaie]

[member="Hawk Solo"]


"All those things, and perhaps a few others that should be before the emotional parts of it all." She smiled, yep now or never would be good. "The weather is a small talk discussion. So let's talk about, what we both do to earn credits."

Let's get the big one out of the way first.
