Reunion

[yancep96]

"I don't think its that you don't know what love is, I think its that you don't know what you are feeling is called love. the companionship that you had with your captain, the feeling you are showing towards me, the desire to keep in touch with me, and the connection we have, all this is love." Flinx held her hand and opened his mind to her, moreover, he opened the other large door in his mind. and she feels the flood of emotion that empties into their connection. Flinx hugs her and sighs in her embrace.

 

[Riamah]

Ra blinks at his words, but keep silent unsure of what to say. By her definition, she didn't know love nor had she felt it. By Filnx's though, she had known love before and still felt it now. Their meanings were different, but when he opened his mind, she learned she HAD felt love before. Like for her captain, even the children at the orphanage. Her desire to help, assist and aid them when they were hurt or in trouble...was all a form of love.

She had tears coming down her face as this was revealed to her and held onto the embrace of Flinx as she cried. Not tears of sorrow, but more of joy or release.

"Love was always different, something not meant for me. I'm an orphan with no past and until recently no future."

 

[yancep96]

"Now that you have found it, never let it go, dear. I will always be here for you. Also a curiose thing about love is, that the more you give the more you have."

Flinx laid is head on her chest and slowly started to pass out from his injuries.

 

[Riamah]

Ra decidedly hungry by now manouvered herself out from under the sleeping form of Flinx went to make dinner, all the while thinking about what he said.

What she had with her captain was a working relationship and companionship. There had never been a hint of love, so she still doubts some of what he says even though deep down she knew it was true. She had thick skull and some stuff never made it past its hard exterior.

Returning with what will make an excellent meal for the two of them, Ra let herself back into the hotel room. She looked at the BB droid and its master still sleeping in bed. Shaking her head slightly, she got to work preparing the meal.

 

[yancep96]

Flinx shifted in bed and in his tossing his bacta pad comes of reopening the wound. Blood spills out onto the pillow. Sparks randomly spark up in the wall panels. BB-3 beeps and rolls to get you.

In my dream I see a green and white gryphon like beast and a dark black winged black beast chasing after me as I run straight into the bendu. All three beast circle around me taunting me and taking swipes at me.

As this happens you get brief flashes of this through our link.

 

[Riamah]

Ra didn't understand what BB-3 was beeping but could tell by the tone something was wrong. In her mind she kept getting flashing images of bird like creatures and then a large beast.

She put down the dinner she was preparing and followed the little droid to Flinx. He was deep in sleep and having a fitful dream, in his tossing and turning, he had reopened his head wound and it was bleeding out on the pillow.

Reaching out a hand to help calm her friend, Ra lightly touches him on his leg. Hoping to wake him up gently instead of shocking him awake.

 

[yancep96]

Flinx slowly woke up, his head pounding and he feeling weak from blood loss. He quickly closed off his mind as a defense trying to hide his weakness. realizing he was with Ra he let down his defenses and wavers a bit from the effort looking ready to pass out.

 

[Riamah]

Taking on a mothering air, Ra set about rewrapping his head, grabbing the other pillow and setting it down gently. She'll worry about getting the mess cleaned up later. Like a door closing, she felt Flinx try to close his mind off, but he soon remembered who she was and opened himself up again.

"You're going to be fine. Just stay laying down and DON'T MOVE!"

The tone of command in her voice is one her friend had never heard before, but the message was clear, if he tried to get up, Ra would do whatever it took to keep him down.

"Dinner is about done, so stay here, rest and when it's done, I'll bring it in."

She stood up again and went back to finish cooking their dinner. When it was done, she brought out two plates balanced on her hands and drinks carried under her upper arms. Setting one plate down on the table, she reached out to help Flinx sit up to eat.

 

[yancep96]

Flinx slowly eats but its more out of instinct. Flinx was slowly falling into depression. He was near mortally hurt and lying in bed being cared for. He felt weak and helpless. All this flooded into their connection.

 

[Riamah]

Ra watched as Flinx ate his dinner silently and could tell something was wrong. The feelings she felt were those of weakness and helplessness as well depression. With that last one, she jerked her head back slightly as if slapped.

"Why are you feeling depressed, Flinx?"

She sat back in the single chair the hotel had for the room and waited for her friend to answer.

 

[yancep96]

'I'm helpless and that is depressing to me." Flinx tried to shut that down, but he just started crying. He thought of this woman and how she could be so much better off without him. He felt like he was being a burden to her.

 

[Riamah]

Ra let out a sigh at his answer, stood up, leaned forward and kissed him on his bandaged forehead. She reached out her hand to take his gently and sat down on the side of bed, her other hand went to the side of his face and gently held his cheek.

"We are all helpless sometimes, Flinx. It matters not to me, I'm not going anywhere just yet. You can't drive me away.

"You know, not too long ago I was almost as helpless as you are now. The first few days after my captain died, I was in a daze, just going through the motions of life. An empty shell."

She didn't look at him and let her hand fall from his face. Ra gripped his single hand with both of hers and looked back at her friend.

"If this connection is love as you say, then you know what I'm saying is true."

 

[yancep96]

Flinx nods and slowly tries to sit up and hug his companion. Flinx pats the bed beside him inviting her closer. Also she can keep a closer watch on him. He was slowly loosing consciousness.

 

[Riamah]

Ra moved one of her hands and gently placed it on his chest to keep him from getting up. Her move was successful and he was unable to get up to hug her.

"Look I said don't move earlier and I mean it."

Though she spoke with a smile, the command tone was back. He invited her to come closer and she lay down on the bed next to him. Full after eating, Ra feels tired enough to sleep again. Slowly drifting off next to her friend, she maintains a solid grip on his hand.
