Buster was slowing down at this point, but happily walking around in a circle, Connel knew what this was, but he let his buddy show it.
He’s a good boy. As Buster “plopped” to the ground, Connel knelt down next to him and gave him a couple of head scratches. I don’t have enough time with him, but I make the best I can. He didn’t want to bring the pup on every mission, but he didn’t like “saying goodbye, it was a thought for another time.
Then she asked about swimming and he laughed. Oh yeah, he can swim. He looks like he’s going to drown half the time, but he can swim. The way he clodhops and almost “punches” the water, it’s hilarious to watch.

A brilliant fire
Valery's grin widened as she darted past him, her voice ringing out in triumph. "Too slow!" she called, laughing as she pulled ahead in the brief opening his stumble had given her. For just a second, she thought she had him... only for his arms to close around her and lift her clean off the ground.
A loud squeal escaped her, her hands pushing lightly at his shoulders as she squirmed in his hold. "Kahlil! That's cheating!" she protested through her laughter, her orange eyes alight with playful fire. "It's not fair!"
Her struggles softened after a moment, the grin she flashed him warmer now, full of affection. "I love you," she whispered, leaning just close enough to let him hear it over her laughter.
And then, just as suddenly, her form shimmered. She slipped right through his arms, phasing free of his hold with a sly smirk as her bare feet hit the grass again. Without missing a beat, she bolted uphill, the sound of her laughter trailing behind her.
She knew full well he would catch her again, as he always did.
Character
"Trueee but that was also not just our place. Having a place where you can be alone and it's yours is important, right? At least from what I've read it is. No feeling trapped." Had he looked that all up after suggesting they move in together? Absolutely. He wanted to make sure he did this all right, or at least as right as he could by Zaiya.
".. I don't actually know if we make money, though. Uh. .. I'll talk to Grandpa Thurion, see if there's something we can do on Midvinter to pay for a place."

Aris was making valid points. Points that now made Zaiya second-guess herself and what option to take.
"Oh. In that case.... maybe it would be best to have our own places first." The Lovalla mused quietly, pondering as citrine ripples of curious contemplation blended with the amber and dove grey ombres over her mottled spots and stripes along her cheeks and down her shoulders.
"Okay. We can do that first, then." They weren't in any rush, so-o....yeah.
"Umm...I can see if I can start selling my prototype designs for some royalties or dividends. That could be some sort of income. I don't think being in an underground movement pays much... if at all."

Buster was lapping up the attention, both figuratively and literally. He was always happy just to be around people, being a true and total “social butterfly,” but in the end, he was just as happy sitting on a couch with his chin on Connel’s knee.
Sound good, buddy? What she just saidthre him for a loop, not in a bad way, but it surprised him. Did she just ask him on a date? No… no don’t overthink it. It’s Buster, and he deserves the play time. Yeah, that sounds good. At the house on Alderaan there are a couple of pools. Or we can go to my mother’s house on Midvinter, she has one. Or we can go somewhere else. The last idea was meant to be vague, not to push anything.
But I Am Free
"And throwing shoes isn't?" He chuckled lightly as he kept her up in his arms, idly walking now towards the top of the hill. He was fully intending to just carry her there, but the sudden weightlessness in his arms made it clear what she was doing. He laughed, watching her as she started to run. The compentativeness was strong as ever, but he'd let that go for the moment.
It was when she'd almost won that he'd appear beside her, using their bond to full on capture her again.
"You're not going to win like that!"
Valery Noble
A brilliant fire
"Throwing shoes is not cheating when they're heels!" Valery shot back between breaths, her laughter loud and high-pitched. For a moment, she thought she had him, victory so close she could almost taste it... only for him to appear beside her, their bond betraying her plans, and catch her up in his arms once again.
This time she didn't fight it. Her laughter spilled out as she leaned into him, knowing the race was over. Wrapping her arms tightly around his shoulders, she let herself be carried the final steps until they stood together at the crest of the hill.
The stars stretched endlessly above them, the night still and peaceful except for their breaths and the rustle of the wind. Valery lifted her hands to cup his cheeks, orange eyes soft as she pressed her lips to his in a lingering kiss. When she finally drew back, her forehead rested against his, and her smile was as warm as it always had been.
"I really missed this," she said softly, every word meant only for him. "I love you so much." A playful spark flickered at the end as she added with a grin, "Even if you are a cheat~"
Character
He truly hadn't been thinking about money at all. Hearing Zaiya talk about selling her pattens and such really drove home that Aris had no money making skills. He was a fighter for certain, but a Rebellion wasn't going to pay him enough for that, nor did he want them to. The inverse, he wanted to make sure he was also providing for both him and Zaiya. That they were in this together.
"We'll- figure it out. One step at a time I suppose at this point. There's a lot more on this than I thought."

Zaiya laughed then, as she could feel how Aris's mind was racing, shooting thoughts a parsec a second about the realities of being an adult and having to pay bills.
"It's okay. Don't worry," She assured him with the brightest of smiles, the Lovalla bending down to press a sweet kiss on his lips in reassurance.
"We will figure it out. I promise. Make a budget and figure out monthly costs and everything."
But I Am Free
There was a moment of warmth and joy as Kahlil leaned into the kiss. Win or loose, he was just happy to have this moment with her again, to be with her and not have to worry about the galaxy or governments or rebellions. He was content, pure and simple. Though that contentment turned to a twitch of a grin as he cradled Valery to his chest and looked up to the stars.
Mostly to hide the grin at her teasing.
"I love you too, though, I don't think I cheated in the slightest."
Valery Noble
Character
"That- does sound very smart." He spoke rather softly, mostly because he was much more surprised at the sudden kiss while his mind was racing. It had the intended effect, pulling him right out of his urge to solve everything logically. His smile returned, bright and warm as he squeezed her hand. It was a plan at least, and one they could act on.
"Alright. Budget sheet first."
Zaiya Ceti
Glow Knight
Aris Noble
The fresh wave of surprise, warmth, and joy only brightened Zaiya's expression, the edges of her patterns reflecting a molten shimmer of softly glowing golden light.
"Good." She told him, adding with a grin, "We dont' need to over think everything. I know, sounds weird that I am the one suggesting that. But just get things into place. We can think about what place you'd want to get since you are a Knight. I'll be a bit until I am knighted myself." She explained, straightening as she once again began to play with the crimson locks of his hair.
"So you'll talk with your Grandfather Thurion, and we can go from there. If you still want your place to be in Midvinter, he'd be the best person to let you know about costs and everything. This also means you'll need to actually learn how to pilot enough to get you to move around where you need to be. Either that or get a piloting droid... and a shuttle as well."
A thought came.
"Have you thought about getting a Padawan?"
Character
"A pilot droid might not be a bad idea." It would save him from having to pilot himself, and mess that up. Though he should also probably learn. Zaiya was still training him, yet at the same time maybe he didn't want to. Complicated feelings, certainly, about flying. Feelings that were overshadowed by the idea of him taking a Padawan.
".. I should, but, I've no idea who, you know? It's a lot of responsibility."

"Oh you guys have a house on Midvinter and Alderaan? That would be fun to see. Back in the old days Jedi just stayed at the Temple, but I've noticed that most of them now have their own places. It's interesting."
She took a seat next to Buster and started patting his ears, grinning at how happy he seemed.
"I had a home once. It was a small place on Naboo. " She closed her mouth suddenly, completely shocked she had shared that information. She generally never spoke about her time with her husband. It was too painful. Maybe Buster was just putting her at ease. He certainly was cute enough to do so.
"Other than that though I've always lived out of Rebel bunkers or at a Temple."

Still petting Buster, he shrugged.
I guess, if you believe my father’s story… Still weird, thinking of him in the past tense. My grandparents were shipping magnates. Not ridiculously rich, but they had their money. Well, the had a trust fund set up for father before he was born. Well, he never needed it. Jedi and all. He shrugged.
Well, he got to meet them when he was a Padawan. He didn’t tell the story about after that, not the right time. The trust fund sat there in the bank… and well… he didn’t even think about it until he came out of the ice 800+ years later. He’s seen others living it up and decided to do something. So he went to the bank, opened it… and with the centuries worth of interest… He shrugged.
Long story short… we got money… Then he looked at her quizzically. Do you need a place to stay?

There was a whole cocktail of emotions resonating from Aris that had Zaiya take a small pause to rifle through. It seemed he was also still uneasy about learning how to pilot, but if he was open to a pilot droid then that should alleviate some concern right?
"Maybe I can find a pilot droid that would work for you?" she offered, then after a pause added in suggestion, "I can try to salvage one and maybe personalize it more for you so it isn't just a piloting droid? Maybe more of a companion like Domxite is with me?"
Now as for the Padawan. He was right. It was a lot of responsbility, but Zaiya believed that Aris was more than capable of being a great Master. He just had to communicate his lessons better, which she'd seen he'd been trying his best to work thorugh and improve.
"I'm not sure... with how everything has been shifting, I'm am not totally familiar with where those we know are and who will be working with us here." she admitted.
"Maybe just take one thing at at ime then."
Xian Xiao
Elementalist
Xian only had any real memories of living on Coruscant. So walking through the woods and forest was new to her. Hearing the sounds of the night and seeing the various changes in the atmosphere was wonderful. She glanced around and liked the feeling of being next to Caelan. He guided them with confidence, and the silence between them was comfortable.
As the trees cleared above their heads and they started up the hill, Xian looked at the stars in the sky. Both of them looked up at the stars shining down on them. When he stopped, she moved one step further but stood next to him still.
Listening to him quietly, she glanced at the ground before returning her eyes to Caelan.
"People will always talk. Not everybody can ever be happy, and you can't please everyone, Caelan."
They might both go under the microscope, but Xian didn't think she was important enough to have that happen. However, there was the chance that being involved with Caelan could bring that down on her head. As common as she was, she was with a king, and he drew attention.
"I'm glad you invited me."
Drawing in an almost startled breath when his warm hand touched her cheek, she met his gaze but did not pull away. His look stole anything she might have wanted to say before she could speak. He was right, this did feel correct, and Xian didn't understand why or how.
Lifting her hand to touch his on her cheek, she leaned into the touch a little as if she'd never been touched before. In a way, she hadn't. Not like this anyway. Close and intimate.
