To be Home once again! (Open)

[Veronica]

Veronica's gaze stayed upon [member="Jakkor Kess"] as he asked her a few questions. One of which, surprised her. He was asking…whether she was single or not. Well, she was single that much was true…but she wasn't too sure how to respond. Because, from the way Jakkor said it…it sounded like he was asking her out upon a date. Which…Veronica wasn't too sure about. For one, she was apprehensive about dating anybody until she got to actually know them for awhile. And two, she's homosexual…so that means she wasn't typically interested in other guys for dating or any other relationships than just being either friends or enemies. Luckily, Jakkor was a friend…or at least he has been so far and hopefully it would continue that way.

Veronica's mouth opened slightly to respond before she stopped herself. She was hesitant, as she didn't know what to say…though she thought the truth should do just fine, as long as she kept it a rather vague in some parts. Assuming that was a good plan, Veronica opened her mouth to respond to Jakkors questions.

"Well…I've spent my whole life on Jakku and…well it's been rather boring so far, nothing interesting…though I did meet somebody recently, j-just I don't want to share any details if that fine! Also y-yes I'm single……b-but…oh…n-nevermind…"

Veronica had cut herself off before she had continued on purpose. She didn't want to make Jakkor awkward by telling him she was actually homosexual, so she decided that she would keep that thought to herself. After cutting herself off, Veronica's hand clasped around her drink before she took a long and slow drink…the cool glass feeling nice against her lower lip as she took the sip of water.

 

[Jakkor Kess]

Jakkor could see how nervous she was,and how she stuttered answers out that way. As for as he knew that was her business if she didn't want to tell him. Either way it was fine,and he really didn't want to make his new friend uncomfortable. He gave her a warm smile,and replied. "That's alright my friend. I think I gave you the wrong impression,and I'm sorry if I did so. I was just curious besides I'm already interested in my master anyway so no hard feelings okay." He finished another glass as this time he sat for a few minutes,before pouring some more liquid into the glass.

Veronica looked over towards [member="Jakkor Kess"] before letting off a warm smile directed towards him after he had reassured her. So far, she was enjoying their little conversation despite how awkward it had gotten at times so far. Veronica was rather enjoying his company so far. Okay, I've got to admit...Jakkor is a nice guy! But...hmmm...what she we talk about or even do next? Maybe I should ask him....hmmm... Veronica's mind was buzzing with what the both of them could talk about or even do but nothing was really coming towards her mind at the current moment in time. While thinking about what they could do, Veronica placed her glass back onto the counter before resting her head upon her hand which was now pointed upwards due to her elbow now resting upon the counter in front of her.

Suddenly, an Idea...well part of one at least, crossed into Veronica's mind giving her something to go off of of what they could probably do at the current moment other than just sit in a rather dull and boring cantina. Veronica had to admit, the bar was rather dull to where she had previously lived...which is saying a lot since she had only just previously left her home of Jakku. Veronica reclined her head from her hand before crossing her arms over each other onto the top of the counter, the cool metal sending chills down Veronica's spine. She the turned her light sea blue eyes towards Jakkor before responding to him, with slight hesitation as was usual so far in their conversation. Her voice came out just as nervous as it normally was, though lucky for Jakkor...she had stopped stuttering as much as she had previously been stuttering. "So...uhm...Jakkor, anywhere in particular that is of intrest? And...if so....uhm...could you show me around it? Just...as friends...of course!"

 

[Jakkor Kess]

He chuckled a bit at the girl's words,he was glad to see that she was becoming more comfortable around him,but when she was asking on where they should go Jakkor was stumped. He didn't want to dissapoint her,but as a Tusken he never really wandered around Mos Eisley except for the cantina that is. He replied a bit shyly at her wondering if she would fing his response okay for her. "I'm sorry I'm afraid that I do not know of any places besides here. I would really like to go somewhere with you. I do not really know the surroundings since I'm Tuaken,and I don't want to dissapoint you!"

[Veronica]

((Forgot to mention this, but the light italics turquoise signifies what Veronica is currently thinking))

Veronica's mouth twisted into a slight frown at [member="Jakkor Kess"]'s response before an idea suddenly sprung into her head. What if…they went somewhere out of Mos Eisely? Veronica thought that this could work…though, she wasn't too sure about it. On one hand, if she asked and he did know somewhere…she would be happy with herself. While, on the other hand, if he didn't know anywhere and she asked…Veronica would silently hate herself for asking such a stupid question. Both of these thoughts, and more, we're all circling about and going through Veronica's mind at the current moment in time. She was both afraid yet excited to ask…just, she wasn't sure if she should even ask. She opened her mouth slightly, as if to say something before closing it again. It was clearly visible, via her body movement, she thought that she had done something wrong and that she was both nervous again and didn't know what to say. Though, despite this…she was able to mutter out some words.
"S-sorry……you know anywhere…o-outside of Mos Eisely?"

 

[Jakkor Kess]

He looked down a little bit. Not to long ago his tribe of tuskens were killed by a bounty hunter who was trying to draw Jakkor out,and he neaarly gave into the dark side that day,and still even thinking about it brought pain,and grief to him. He replied to her raising his head to look her in the eye,and sad a bit sadly.

"The only place I do know of is the Jundland Wastes. Where my tribe is,but sadly not to long ago a bounty hunter tracking me killed all my tribesmen,and I as a chieften failed them. So I do not know where to take you. Please forgive me of my ignorance."

[Veronica]

Veronica frowned slightly at the news. Not because Jakkor didn't know of any places, but of what happened. She felt a deep regret for saying what she had just previously said. Wishing, that she hadn't said those exact words in the first place which had caused [member="Jakkor Kess"] to remember his previous pain and loss. Veronica reached out slightly towards Jakkor, but stopped midway. At the moment, she felt an urge to hug him. To try and comfort him…but at the same time, she was rather nervous. She had never really hugged somebody before so she wasn't sure how she should hug or if their was a correct way to hug somebody. But…she wanted to try it anyways.

Veronica crept close to the side of Jakkor, before wrapping her arms around his middle and hugging him, a little too tightly on accident. Veronica hadn't realized this yet as she was more or less focusing on hugging Jakkor in his moment of need. Her mouth opened slightly as to say a few words to Jakkor. "Uhm…J-Jakkor? I'm s-sorry…I didn't realize that had happened…also, sorry if this hug is bad--I've never actually hugged anybody before…"

 

[Jakkor Kess]

He felt a bit better from her embrace,didn't really move slightly chuckling at her shy nature he said to her looking at her in the eye,and moving his head up a bit he said. "You need not apologize for what happened. What's done is done,and I can't change the past. As for the embrace do not be nervous,after all I'm sure you have the rest of the galaxy to explore soon right! And if you were to suggest something else I would like to hear it!" He said as he still smiled at her.

[Veronica]

Veronica smiled up towards [member="Jakkor Kess"] after he replied to her. Veronica pulled away from the hug to better allow her eyes to fixate upon Jakkors face as it was harder when she was embracing him. She was glad that he wasn't insulted from her earlier remark and she was also slightly flattered at his remark that her hugs were perfectly fine. It helped warm her soul after learning the grave news about what had just happened to his tribe. Though, it did also make her hesitant to suggest that they both do something. True, she did want to do something with Jakkor to better strengthen their friendship, but she wasn't exactly sure what that 'something' was at the moment. Veronica felt an urge to try and ask Jakkor what he wanted to do, but was afraid he would just ask her again and again and again…until she actually gave an idea. So, instead of thinking about what could happen…she just did it.
"So…uh, Jakkor…is their anything you want to do at the moment?"

 

[Jakkor Kess]

Jakkor smiled at [member="Veronica"],and in deep thought decided on what to do when she asked the question to him. Of course Tatooine was always considered boring and the only reasons he ever bothered coming were the Tusken tribes of the dune sea,or to drown his sorrows away in alcohol at the cantina. He then got up from his seat,and grabbed his wrappings of his mask. He looked at her,and replied after he was done thinking,and said gently.

"Well how bout I show my ship. It's not much to do,but hey it's better than here right,and I may offer you a job to come with me if you like!"

 

[Veronica]

Veronica gave [member="Jakkor Kess"] a warm smile after he had replied. Out of all of the things, they could do…Jakkor thought of showing her around his ship…which to Veronica's ears, sounded like the most exciting thing except for when she first met Songbird upon Jakku. To most people, taking a tour around someone's ship was rath boring. Though, to Veronica it sounded rather exciting and fun!
"Sure…that's sounds like fun! And also…ill think 'bout the offer"

Veronica placed a few credits upon the counter that she had saved up for awhile while she lived upon Jakku, before standing up and walking towards Jakkor. She stood shorter than him and was also rather skinner than him as well…making the difference between the two rather easy to spot. Veronica didn't take much note of it as she reached back and grabbed her sports jacket which had basically been with her her whole life up to meeting Jakkor so far.

She slung the right jacket around her shoulders to where the sides of it only reached two thirds of the way down her aides, just barely grazing her hips. The jacket was rather short due to it being a jacket she had found at a very young age and plus, it was also the only jacket she ever wife as she had only ever held that jacket. The jacket held a faded crystal blue color which now appeared a darkish black blue yet in Veronica's eyes, it still looked beautiful nonetheless. The jacket cling to her petite figure quite comfortably, with it resting upon a rather simple home-made crop top she had made out of a spare Tanktop while she lived upon Jakku. As for Veronica's legs, she wore a pair of torn and dusty sand worn jeans. A roll of bandages reached up from Veronica's right ankle before stopping up mid way up her right thigh. While, on the other leg…a pair of bandages were wrapped around the knee. Though, the one on the right leg stood out the more as the bandages appeared to be bloody with both dried blood and apparently fresh blood.

Veronica curled up her fingers upon her right hand, before running it through her hair once before running it back through it a second time. Her ocean blue hair hung beautifully against her face, most of the front half falling over one of her eyes as if hiding it from view. While the back, it extended down towards her shoulders, hanging against the faded sports jacket.

 

[Jakkor Kess]

He finished paaying the bartender,and started to walk out of the cantina. He casually looked over to see if she was following him. Wether he was sure,or not he pressed on to the docking bay. After ignoring the stares of customers shopping in marketplaces,or slaves scurrying home to their masters alike he did not care as it was all the usual routine for him nowadays. When he finally reached the docking bay,the old Corellian VCX-100 light freightor The Outlander lied in wait. It was waiting for her rightful owner to return,and indeed he had. He walked aboard the landing ramp to the main living area as he spoke to the girl behind him in a friendly tone. "It may not look like much,but for an old relic it serves me rather well. Please by all means if you want you could go ahead,and make yourself comfortable."

[member="Veronica"]

 

[Veronica]

"Please…it looks magnificent! What do you mean it dosent look like much!!?"
Veronica gave [member="Jakkor Kess"] a warm smile. She had no idea what Jakkor meant by it wasn't much. Heck…the room they were in at the moment was a hundred times better than where she had lived her whole life upon Jakku. And, it looked far more comfortable as well. Veronica walked over to a nearby seat before stroking her hand across the edge of the seat, smiling to herself at the cool touch of the metal against her lightly tanned skin. After she had savored the feel of the cool metal against her skin, she plopped herself down upon the seat before looking around the ship.

Instead of torn up floors like her old home, this ship had nice smooth metal floors with actual seats upon it…rather than just hard rocks. The walls appeared to look smooth yet delicate and powerful at the same time rather than torn and worn away like the ones upon Veronica's old home. Veronica thought this was just the most beautiful place she had ever seen before. It looked outstanding and felt extremely comfortable as well. And this was the the first room as well!

 

[Jakkor Kess]

He chuckled as he sat in a patted seat,and unwrapped his wrappings setting it down on the tabe that had a built in holoprojecter. The room was entirely made of Durasteel,and there were little to no decoration seeing how the Tusken had no use for such things. When he was finished with peeling his mask off he rubbed the fatigue off his face with both his hands feeling the alcohol he had earlier slowly kicking into his system.

He then removed his hands from his face,and gave her a friendly warm smile. "Well it's over 800 years old,and by todays standards maybe even obsolete like me. It's still gives me what I need though. A home,and a ship to travel the galaxy with. If you want to explore feel free to do so,I'll just be right here."

[member="Veronica"]

 

[Veronica]

(Sorry for the late reply, school stuff happened)
"O-okay…if you're sure…"
Veronica was hesitant at first to get up and look around. She was nervous about getting lost within the corridors of the small ship though that wasn't why she was hesitant. She was mostly hesitant and nervous because she had barely ever interacted with technology, such as…let's say, a shower. She wouldn't know the function of it, let alone how it worked and what it could even do if it could do anything. But, she did feel a need to explore the small ship. So, Veronica stood up from the comfortable cool metal and leather seat before walking down a corridor.

Rooms lines all sides, well…not that many actually. There was one that read, 'Quarters' so…Veronica assumed it was possibly somewhere to sleep. The door on the opposite side was shower, which had her stumped. She had not the slightest idea nor hint about what this 'shower' could be, if it was even a thing at all. So, deciding to be risky…she opened the door which revealed a small room. It held a few furnishings that were classic from a YT-freighter bathroom area such as, a shower, toilet and sink but that was it.

Veronica creeped over towards the sink before turning the nosel and jumping back in surprise as clean and crystal clear water sputtered out of the metal nosel. It fascinated and frightened her, as she had no idea how it was doing what it was doing yet she didn't want it to stop. Slowly but surely, she ran her hand through the crystal clear water before feeling the chill of the water atop the palm of her hand, watching the liquid trickle off of her hand before going down the sink to a small hole in the bottom where the water was currently draining. Veronica…she wanted to stay there forever, watching the water…but she also wanted to look around the room. So, she decided to turn the nosel back to what it previously was…shutting off the water.

Veronica then turned around and looked at what was called a 'shower' before giving off a confused and questioning look. What was…a shower? What's it used for? Is it a weapon…or a think chamber thing? These and many more thoughts were circling through Veronica's head before she finally decided to call out to [member="Jakkor Kess"].
"Uhm…J-Jakkor…what's a 's-shower'"

 

[Jakkor Kess]

In his drunken stupor Jakkor was laying his head down as he mutters to himself in a groan. "Maybe that last shot wasn't such a good idea..or maybe it was. Ugh!" He than bangs his head slowly,and tries to use the force to ease his splitting headache,and that was disrupting his euphora. After several minutes it went away and his was able to enjoy his drunken bliss. When he was like this his painful memories,and nightmares went away,and the ghosts of his past were long gone in the wake of wonderful happiness caused by the liquid.


When he heard Veronica speak from the hallway he heard her speak about what was a Shower. She must have meant the refresher his mouth slightly dropped,but than again such a question held no surprise to the young Tusken. Such people like Veronica weren't educated in such trivial matters,and people like her had no luxeries as refreshers. So he got up,and walked slowly,and drunkenly to the refresher,and saw her stading right next to it oddly curious as if she were a child looking at a toy. He then turned one of the nosels that read in aurabesh hot. He than started to explain to her while placing his hand under the faucet that leaked the water in torrents feeling it slowly heat up.

"Well my curious friend. It is someplace that you bathe yourself through either standing in a Shower,or sitting,and taking a bath. You can then use a variety of fragrences in soaps,and some to wash your hair with,and they are called shampoo,and conditioner. They also straighten your hair as well,so if you do wish to bathe yourself which I have no idea if you know how to do such a task,and if you need asistance I could help you,but it could be uncomfortable for you since we are both members of the opposite Sex,and I don't wish to make you uncomfortable."

He gave her a warm smile as he turned the nosel off,and the water stopped pouring only to drip a couple of drops.

[Veronica]

[member="Jakkor Kess"]

As Jakkor began to speak to Veronica about what exactly a shower was and what it was, her eyes filled with amazement at what he was describing. It sounded so nice to use actual soaps and to actually stand to bathe oneself rather than just doing so in a semi-heated tub which was full of weird water from Jakku, which was of course heated under the sun. Veronica let out an involuntary gasp of surprise out as she witnessed the water stream down out of the shower head. It looked so simple yet so complex at the same time. Veronica could just imagine bathing there, in an actual nice and clean place rather than a small tub.

Veronica's cheeks took on a blush of shock and embarrassment once Jakkor mentioned that he could help her bathe if she needed to do so. She knew Jakkor didn't mean any harm by saying what he said and what he offered, it's just that Veronica didn't really know how to handle situations like this. On one hand, it would be helpful to know exactly what to do as she hadn't actually ever really used soap…unless you count a dirty sponge as soap. And she also wasn't 100% positive on how to operate a shower. While, on the other hand, Veronica was rather jumpy and nervous about a person of the opposite see to help her with it. She wasn't sure if Jakkor was flirting or not, but either way…it did sound quite foreign to her and made her slightly agitated. Not that it was Jakkors fault, just that Veronica didn't always know how to express her emotions properly.

After the water turned off, Veronica turned to Jakkor with a slight pause. What should I say? On one hand…I do need help as I've got no karking clue what to do…yet, on the other hand…he might be 'flirting' with me or whatever it's called. Veronica then took a deep breath before responding to Jakkor.
"H-how do you exactly use 'soap' or even use this 'shower?' Also…it's fine I g-guess…about the h-helping thing…"

 

[Jakkor Kess]

Jakkor i guess was slightly uncomfortable with the idea. He had never seen a girl naked before and was slightly nervous.,Being drunk didn't make matters any better either after all still being young and a teenager he still had hormones to deal with and sometimes jedi training can't deal with those. He smiled at her response and found it cute,and also blushed at what he said and replied shyly. "A.Alright i guess we could start with removing your clothes and getting inside." He even removed his own shirt in order to make her feel comfortable. His chest was rather skinny not showing a lot of physical physique even for a warrior. It was covered in scars from the Clone Wars and Order 66 as well as his adventures in the outer rim. He was shy already especially with someone as pretty as Veronica and he didn't want to take advantage of her or give her the wrong idea.

[member="Jakkor Kess"]

Veronica's cheeks took on a deep blush of shyness and slight embrassement by how Jakkor responded along with him taking off his shirt. She hadn't meant for help in that way. She has only meant to ask him how to do, thinking she could do the rest without his assistance. Though, she knew better than that…she needed assistance to know how to do something. And that wasn't going to happen without anybody actually helping her along the way. She had never seen another man naked before, yet alone shirtless…which did make her feel slightly uncomfortable and shy as well. Afraid of what might happen…though, she decided that she might as well give it a try. After all…she wasn't going to get anywhere by just being nervous and never trying anything.

Veronica hesitantly brought her arms to the hem of her shirt before lifting it up over her head, revealing her torso after it was removed. Her upper body was rather lean with some resemblance of an athletic build…though that was mostly concentrated around her abdominal muscles area. Now, Veronica's form was also rather beautiful as well…it had nice and gentle curves…which didn't help her situation much as all she was wearing now was a bra and pants. Though, along with all of this…her skin color was slightly lighter than her arms and face…making it appear to be a lighter cinnamon color than the rest of her as well. Though…despite all of this, that's not to say she dosent have faults. Three claw marks inch down Veronica's side, starting from her right side before running down towards her stomach along with what appears to be a knife scar at Veronica's left shoulder. All Veronica's upper body was covered by now, was a black bra…which clung nicely to her form…not leaving much to the imagination. Though now…Veronica's face was a deep scarlet red of embarrassment due to now being shirtless. But…luckily, she has decided that she would keep her underwear on instead of taking it off…just to not make her feel any more awkward.

Next, came the jeans. After they were off, it revealed toned and muscular legs underneath. The skin was rough midway down Veronica's right leg, where the bloodied bandage had been earlier. The skin was rough due to what appeard to be a long scar running down her leg before stopping abruptly at her ankle. The scar seemed to be a light red, indicating that it was recent and that it was only slightly tender…but tender nonetheless. Now, all Veronica was wearing was a black bra and a pair of white underwear. Due to the recent submission of clothes…Veronica turned away slightly from Jakkof in embrassement at what he might think about her. She just hoped that he didn't get the wrong idea. Though…it wasn't helping that both her and Jakkof were still developing and had hormones going on as well.

 

[Jakkor Kess]

Jakkor watched and his mouth slightly fell open. Veronica was quite the striking woman indeed,and was like an angel. He had to remind himself in his intoxicated state telling himself 'Jakkor calm down. I swear you would never forgive yourself if you did something you regretted right here. Your just trying to help the poor girl bathe herself.' He saw how nervous she was and managed to keep her panties on which brought relief to Jakkor but also presented him with a problem with trying to help bathe her. He decided that it would just be best to work around it.

He than shook his head and closed his mouth doing his best to calm the raging storm of hormones within and gave her a shy smile and said to her as he went over to turn on the faucet to hot water. "W-Well i guess we could start with getting you inside and we could work the rest from there." He was still incredibly nervous and hoped to at least not freak her out or at least make her awkward.
