Moonlight Lekku

[Trextan Voidstalker]

She was talking rather than running. Trextan hadn't quite desired if that was preferable or not. Most of him wanted to curl up and die, not talk.

“It was just at the top of the page...Why, what do you watch?” he asked, desperately trying to keep the tone lighthearted.

 

[Choli Vyn]

[SIZE=9pt]And that was how Trextan managed to tip the scales further into Choli’s own sense of embarrassment. Hiding her blushes, she blustered further: " Some of these are rather silly "[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"Like, really terrible skits." she’d seen a fair share of her own that the Rogues would watch in their own cabins. Also, Rogues she found out had absolutely no shame whatsoever. There was no hiding anything there. After her initial culture shock, Choli at least had to admit that those Moonlight Film skits were rather… well, silly. Who actually watches these??[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]For a virgin, Choli was rather flabbergasted by that. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"No way that happens in real life" profile to him as she is also feeling a bit embarrassed but at least trex doesn't seem to be bothered as much any more. Mainly because Trextan was the only other person her age here and at least she knew him.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]He was so lucky that I’m not Janes. [/SIZE]

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

The Justicar shifted his hips again under the sheets to move a little further from the pilot. This was bad enough already. He tried to smile, but it was obviously a struggle.

"Still, it's the best tip the pizza man will ever get"

 

[Choli Vyn]

[SIZE=9pt]"I guess... until he realizes the other three deliveries he was supposed to make are now an hour late and it comes out of his paycheck"[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"And why the pizza man?!"[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"I guess I can understand twileks...." Did he prefer aliens?? Her thoughts go back to the mirialan she's seen him eating meals with and who visits him a lot. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Instant awareness she had said it in a questioning manner. "Nothing "[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"How's your physical therapy going?"[/SIZE]

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

"I don't think i could work with pizza so much and have a six pack like the...twileks?" his tone shifting suddenly as realisation dawned.

"It's not like I prefer them to... Humans. You know? And it's been good. I think i needed someone to be blunt to get my head out of my ass,” he said with an abashed smile.

"Sometimes it's easier to blame someone else. When it's your fault or no one's.” They hadn't talked in depth about what had happened to put them both here. This wasn't the time, but his mind went there. Anywhere was better than here. “I really thought you were gone for a moment there on Skor. Started to think it would be my fault for helping you escape"

 

[Choli Vyn]

[SIZE=9pt]"Oh.." right. Skor. Her fingers come up to tuck her hair behind her ear. She gave a small shrug and tries to say light-heartedly.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"It's fine... not like you were the one blasting whatever it was. Everything is still fuzzy on what exactly happened, " she admitted, shifting on the tiny cot to bump hips. "I guess you can say I'm an expert at crashing ... "[/SIZE]

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

"Yeah, and not like you wouldn't have escaped without me. It's all a bit blurry for me too. But I kind of... I don't know. Suddenly the I felt the Force more than before. I could feel them all. All the people going back to the Force. I saw the U-Wing spinning. I still don't really know." He felt embarrassed then. Different to before, even more acutely in somewhere ways. This mattered, not like the pizza man. He was fairly certain of what had happened but it seemed too impossible. He carried on anyway.

"Suddenly, to the Force, it was just a tiny lump of metal in the galaxy and it seemed a trivial thing to stop it spinning and slow it down. But maybe I'm just imagining things, filling in the blanks where it got knocked out of me."

 

[Choli Vyn]

[SIZE=9pt]The more he spoke the more an expression of bemusement replaced the embarrassment of discussing Pizza Hutt Kinky Pinky. Wait, what was he talking about? Things were still fuzzy for choli, it all happened so fast...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"Either that out you had some serious drugs you were on that you didn't tell me about." She tried to make light of the situation, but her own brows were furrowed in concentration at trying to remember. How has SE survived? It had felt as if the U-wing had slowed-- or was that just the rush of events before she crashed?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"I honestly had already figured that was my last flight... til it seemed to slow too." Hazel eyes swirled into a curious blend of gold flecked green. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"So wait-- was that really you?"[/SIZE]

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

He fell silent and looked down at his hands. With his right he'd been shielding himself from the blast. With his left...He'd been reaching up.

"I think... It might have been."

He was interrupted by a masculine grunt. He frantically reached for the datapad.

"Ew, right on her lekku. I don't know why anyone would..." He turned it off and once again his expression shifted back to a different kind of embarrassment.

 

[Choli Vyn]

[SIZE=9pt]Suddenly bursts out laughing "I don't think aiming was his goal there."[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"Sorry, guess I should let you get back to... pizza man."[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Though, thinking back to what he said choli leaned in close. She couldn't quite hug him here, so she did the next best thing. A brief brush of her lips went by his cheek. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"Thanks," she said, voice a grateful murmur, "I don't know what happened... but I'd be dead if it hadn't. "[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"I owe you one."[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]She gave Trex a half abashed but genuine smile, then leant back to move off the cot.[/SIZE]

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

That's okay, I was just trying to do the right thing was what he said plainly inside his own head.

"S'alrigt," was what he murmured instead. How many different flavours of embarrassment could he feel in just five minutes? He felt he should have said more.

"They've got a big screen in the room down the hall. We could watch something when it's quiet?" He asked. "Not videos...Like this," he tacked on with a grin.

 

[Choli Vyn]

[SIZE=9pt]There was a bit of embarrassment tinged with Cho's subsequent half amused snort," For a second there I thought you were going to suggest Pizza Man and Pinky Bits part two." [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]She swung her head towards the direction of the door, foot coming down to balance herself on the ground. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"Well, watching something I guess won't make them freak out as much as trying to escape."[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Choli swung lightly green-flecked hazel eyes back to Trextan again. "But you'll have to bring snacks."[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"... not pizza."[/SIZE]

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

Her eyes changing once more caught his attention. Suddenly his body recalled just how wound up it had been right before Choli caught him in a surprise visit. They were nice eyes.
Alright, think of something dull. Like wallpaper At least, he supposed, she had taken it in good spirits.

"I'll bring the vending machines finest," he replied. There was a genuine smile on his face, perhaps the first time she would have seen one.

 

[Choli Vyn]

[SIZE=9pt]Another snicker, the bed sinking then relaxing as Choli shifted her weight off of it, moving to stand. With her hair all loose about her shoulders, it swung against her cheeks, framing her face with a light sway. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"Do you even have any credits on you to do that?"[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Ooo, a knowing arch of her brow, "Or are you going to get your girlfriend to bring them to you?"[/SIZE]

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

Trextan snapped his mouth closed and canted his head to one side. That was an oddly direct question. Especially as he didn't have a partner. Recently there was just the sith girl who'd cornered him in a dark corner of the Valley and kissed him.

"I don't have a girlfriend," he replied a little more sharply than was necessary.

 

[Choli Vyn]

[SIZE=9pt]"You mean pudding nurse girl isn't your girlfriend? She seems to always be around." Choli tried to seem a bit nonchalant about that... but her curiosity was getting to her.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]She’d seen the nurse around. Well, there were plenty of nurses and Jedi healers. Choli could even recall the image of the tall Jedi Master that was Trextan’s father hanging about. He seemed dreadfully worried, very pensive, and quiet. Spent plenty of time just sitting beside Trextan’s cot. [/SIZE]

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

"Pudding... Oh Taheera? Hah, I don't think she's interested in me," he replied earnestly. Trextan was as oblivious as any seventeen year old on the matter. Perhaps more than the norm given that his entire relationship experience was limited to a handful of experiences never lasting more than a few minutes.

 

[Choli Vyn]

[SIZE=9pt]Not interested? Choli's brows rose up quietly as if to say, yeaaahhh right. Being in Rogue Squadron allowed her plenty of opportunity to see several of her squad mates do their little flirting binges. None the less, Choli brought her fingers up adding, "If you say so."[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]And thus, likely a seed was planted.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"I'm just saying... " as she took a couple of steps back, " A girl doesn't keep bringing food over to a guy just cause she's his nurse."[/SIZE]

 

[Trextan Voidstalker]

"We fought together a few times," Trextan said with a shrug. “She's a very good friend. Part of him was thinking that he'd do the same if Rebel got hurt fighting for the justicars. Another replayed the way she tried to look away to hide a smile several times. Had he missed something?

"You'd have come checked on me if the U-Wing had escaped the blast right?"

 

[Choli Vyn]

[SIZE=9pt]Choli came to a halt. The teenager's expression slowly turned serious for a moment, "Yeah, I would have." she hooked her thumbs along the stretchy band of the medical patient scrubs they'd given her. At least better than the drafty robes that bared her butt all the time. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"I guess you'd have double portions of jello then." She teased, shoulders coming up in a half amused shrug. Anyone who might have seen her then would have been hard pressed to believe that the seventeen-year-old was a decorated Lieutenant Commander for the GADF.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]"I wouldn't be able to just leave my hospital escapee cohort on his own. " her eyes flashed a brighter green in humor. "Who else would I be able to plot another escape with?"[/SIZE]
