She felt herself stopped and his arms around her, golden eyes peering into her and her breath soft and short as she looked at him. "Uh... Not really, no." She smiled and leaned up, cranning her neck and kissing him for a few seconds under the starlight and the falling leaves. A cool breeze flowing through the alleys of the forest and colliding on them as it would chill them a bit. "Perhaps we should set up for the night..."

 

[Vulpesen]

He rolled his eyes as she refused to give him a break but still accepted the kiss. At this point, he was sure that she could stab him, and he would still accept any kiss from her. "That sounds like a good idea." Letting go of her, he dropped his pack and shifted through to find his tent. "Its actually been years since I've done this."

"Campout under the stars, or not have an army of wolves build your home for you?" She grinned at him as she moved over to help him with the tent, there only being the one of it. "Oh, by the way, i could only find one tent, guess we will have to sleep together..." She smiled at him, both the truth and the fact she wanted to be near him.

 

[Vulpesen]

He grinned and started to put up his tent. "Camped in a temporary structure." As she came over and spoke about being unable to find another, he gave her a skeptical grin. "Couldn't, or wouldn't?" He continued on with his work, completely fine with sharing the tent with her. "Well, we already shared a tree so I don't think this would be too much of a stretch."

"Minus the fact that we dont have to bright bundles of fur watching us as we sleep... you do know Daeda and Ace were watching us sleep right?" Even though she had told him this already she frowned, trying to remember if she had. Her mind was still coping with everything that had happened recently and her normally perfect memory has been so patchworked she remembered only a third of what she used to.

 

[Vulpesen]

He shrugged and staked down the final part of the tent. "Well, as long as they weren't watching us sleep together, I think we're alright." He pulled a bedroll from his bog and tossed it in before throwing in the rest of his things. "He smiled up as he stood up from the shelter. "So, we gonna go in or hang outside for a bit more?"

"Its up to you... i want to change first though... uh... dont you dare say anything, or ill hit you upside the head." She moved to her pack and pushed into the tent as she began to change, letting her hair free at first and moving out of the dress as the air chilled her skin. She would then reach into the bag and change into a much less formal, but also was a bit shorter and left her body a bit more exposed before she grabbed the cloak she had had originally and pulled it around her to stop the chill from freezing her to the bone. Once she came out the hood was kept down as her hair was straight now and untamed as she just let it fall. "So, we going to lay down or stay out here for a bit?"

 

[Vulpesen]

He nodded and let her go into the tent, his ears flicking as he listened to her dress. Was he trying to use his imagination? No, he was just easily bored and just as easily amused and with only the woods around him, he needed something to focus on. Once she came out, he couldn't help his yes scanning over her. "Still stunning." As she posed her question, he nodded and started to head into the tent. "Lets go in."

She glared at him for a moment before sighing and followed him into the tent. The room inside wouldn't be alot, especially with their things there too, both having to move onto the bedroll if they wanted to be comfortable. None the less she stopped at the entrance of the tent and smiled, flicking him in the back of the ear. "Thats for speaking mister..." She then would lean into the tent and kiss him before he could speak. "... so was this."

 

[Vulpesen]

His ear flicked quickly as she hit it. "O-" He was cut off by her kiss and his protest was turned into a smile. "Never mind." He smiled and relaxed on the bedroll, making sure that there was room for her as he relaxed. As he waited for her to join him, he rested his head on his hands and gazed up at her, fairly sure that if he had a tail, it'd be banging against the wall of the tent.

She climbed in and untied the cloak before setting it to the side and laying half on Vulpesen and half beside him as she looked at his eyes. "This is perfect..." She smiled wider and kissed him again, longer this time as she simply reveled in the fact of the moment, nothing else mattering.

 

[Vulpesen]

He smiled up at her as she laid over him, his arm around her body. "It is." As her lips met his, he held her a bit closer, enjoying the moment with her. Now, he no longer believed that he had sacrificed his peace through out the years. He had merely saved it up. Saved it up for moments like this when he couldn't be any happier, a feeling that shone through the force as he kissed her.

She smiled behind the kiss and held it as long as he would until one of them broke it either for air or because it was just getting old, the reason didn't matter as her head came down on his chest, the dress she wore tight around her as she pressed her body against his and tried to feel for warmth that the chilled air still bit into as her skin showed goosebumps on her shoulders and arms. "I love you Vulpesen."

 

[Vulpesen]

Of course, the kiss would last til they needed breath, he simply enjoyed it too much to leave for any other reason. As she pressed against him, he rested his head against hers and allowed his hand to run up and down her arm, partly because he loved the feel of it, and partly to keep her warm as he noticed the goosebumps. "I love you too."

"You know, i bet you half the Sith in the Order would be jealous right now if they saw you, including Balaya, imagine their reactions to you getting to just lay with someone you love, while they have to deal with these wars constantly." She smiled wider at him as his arms closed around her and his hand touched her arm, her body having been shaking slightly until that, though with a free hand, she grabbed the cloak and pulled it over them to act as a blanket against the wind.

 

[Vulpesen]

He laughed and held her close to him as she spoke. "There's the fact that I'm laying with the one I love, and there's also the fact that I'm laying down with you." As she covered the with the cloak, he smiled and rested his head by hers, continuing to feel the soft skin under his hand. "Right now, I kinda wish we didn't have to go back."

"We dont... i mean we do but we shouldn't we could just leave, today, and spend the last days of them not realizing it looking for your home and simply vanish there together..." She spoke, her voice almost distant as she imagined it, being alone with him, no sith or Jedi to pester them and nothing to worry them if this home of his was truly real. "Imagine it though, never having to fight again."

 

[Vulpesen]

He smiled as he listened Of course, he should have expected him, but at the end of the day, he knew the answer. "You know I can't leave. You of all people even know why. The sith are offering a chance I can't refuse and while I hate certain days of this, that's we have days like this. Days where it cans top existing for a bit and days where everything I do out there stops mattering. Alex, you know I can't just run away no matter how bad I want to, and that I'll always be out there fighting. But you also know I love you and that I will fight so you don't have to." Despite his speech, he still thought about her words. He couldn't follow them, but he could at least imagine them. The thought was tempting... it just wasn't him.

"I... know... i just want to live a normal life for once, no more war, no more death, no more causing pain and feeling the blood stain your hands as you sit there, unable to stop those closest to you from dying... i want to get away from everything and every one, build a home where no one can find me or you and live there without ever having to lose someone i care for or owe ever again... Boolon dying was what hurt the most... he is the reason i turned from the darkside completely... and all i did was lay there as he died..." She already started to tear, her eyes watering as she buried her face in his shirt, trying to hide it.

 

[Vulpesen]

He nodded once more to her words and kissed the top of her head as she buried into his shirt. "I know, but remember, it wasn't your fault. Wars happen and people died. That would have happened had you been there or not. The best you can do is keep his memory and remember the best of times. That's our job to those who aren't here anymore. Remember them, and never forget what they meant to us. Eventually, the pain of their loss will pass and you will once again be able to smile when you think of their name. But first, you must accept what has happened."
