White under dark

[NT-6922]

Natassia remained silent for a moment, taking small sips from her drink, once more giving Serenna some shy glances, her eyes never having enough of her face. She knew that it probably looked weird for the chiss, but she couldn't help it. There was something about her, her aura, her face, her behavior, whatever it was, that called out to the human - and she felt slightly frustrated when she found out she couldn't exactly put her finger on why. It wasn't just because she had helped her; there was more to it, something greater, deeper, stronger. Finally, she dared to turn around and face the alien, trying to hide how exquisite the sensation was as she felt a gloved finger circling on her back.
"No", said the trooper as she finally dared to look into these red eyes that reminded her of bright stars on a calm night. "You don't have to thank me. I want to thank you, Serenna. Ever since I've woken up, I've felt lonely, with nobody to really talk to. But you... you are looking past this white armor I wear, you are looking past what I seem to be. And I thank you for it."
She fell silent once more, slowly placing one of her tanned hands onto the purple-haired woman's leg, the white fabric smooth under her touch.

Looking at her when she felt the hand on her leg the jedi knight raised an eyebrow and she looked at the woman. "Of course I do, there is a great deal but as a jedi I respect all life. Be them stormtrooper, female or anything there. You are important, you have just as much right to live and be in the galaxy as anyone." She said it while sitting there and she offered a small smile. It was a strange feeling when she looked at her and the woman seemed to be sneaking small glances, she started feeling better until the chiss moved there and she gave a better look setting her cup down on the table before she spoke. "You are a special woman Natassia and deserve a chance to find yourself and a life in the galaxy just as much as anyone."

"That's probably the nicest thing someone ever told me", said the young woman with a smile, her hand remaining on Serenna's leg, as the latter didn't seem to mind it much. She kept her gaze directed at the chiss' face, having to remind herself constantly to stop losing herself in the two pools of red. Finally daring to ask what she had in mind, she moved her free hand nervously to settle onto the woman's leg, near her other hand's place. "So, you are some sort of traveller? Because, well, I know you barely know me, but... I'd love to accompany you in your travels."
There, she finally said it. She wanted to spend some time with the jedi, and perhaps get to know her better...
She had been the only one to make her feel so alive, and she didn't want to even think about being away from her, not so soon after meeting her savior who mended her wounds, gently fixing her troubled soul - or at least, beginning to.

Hmm Serenna woudl have to think about that... well kind of in truth she didn't see anything wrong with that. She actually preferred at times to have some sort of company. it did make things a little better in the end and you would be able to do more things with another person.... Also she was a trained soldier that meant she might actually know how to fix things like a comlink or zipper if they broke.... Hmm this could actually be pretty beneficial as the chiss blinked thinking this over in her mind for a few micro seconds. "I do not see a problem with this. Though I will admit it has been awhile since I really traveled with anyone. I am not the most socually tactful of jedi and usually just show up when there are problems and try to stop them before violence breaks out."

 

[NT-6922]

"Not the most socially tactful jedi? Serenna, please. You're perhaps the greatest jedi to be out there. You actually solve problems, without using a lightsaber. And it impresses me far more than any other jedi could."
She shined the chiss a bright smile, bringing herself closer to her, their legs touching and their noses separated by only a few inches, the blonde still staring deeply into her red eyes with awe. It hit her like a wall of bricks; she was definitively interested in the jedi, and not only in the term of companionship... the prospect of being able to travel alongside the softspoken chiss charmed her. It almost felt too good to be true; her morale had just jumped a few meters higher, and this, only by meeting a gentle woman, kind enough to help her, and one thing led to another...
Their faces close to each other, the trooper fell silent, wondering what Serenna might be thinking, and if she could make the choice to continue what she was doing, or stop and resign herself to stay put.

She might have been blushing, with the blue skin it is not exactly hard to see for a number of things that would be there. She could feel the heat of the woman and there was a large and more notable change in her mood almost as if she wanted to say something when Serenna was watching her and blinked a longer and slowly moment. THe time seemed to span and turn a heartbeat from a second to a minute and then longer before she was seeing what was happening and leaning in a little closer her hand came up to touch her hair. fingers going through the woman's hair so that she could feel them and massage her head. "Thank you for that, I do try and solve problems without a saber though it can be hard. Voice manipulation has a double sided effect. I don't know if what I say and the reactions are really me or the abilities with the force."

 

[NT-6922]

Natassia lost herself once more in Serenna's eyes, blushing harder and letting out a soft sigh as she felt her hair being caressed by the gloved hand of the woman. Still anxious about what to do, she still managed to give the chiss a gentle smile. "I think you don't give yourself enough credit. I understand what you mean, but the way you talk to people, is more than just swaying their opinions with the Force. I think you really solve things with how kind you are, and how people enjoy your calm. I know I do."
Realizing what she had let out, her face became a shade redder, one of her hands going up to her cheek, shuddering as she touched the blue skin of the jedi before her. Their lips barely a couple of inches apart, she finally took her decision. Gak it all, she had only one life, and, despite her fear of ruining her chances to be the alien's friend, she pressed her lips against Serenna's, in a moment of mind-blowing bliss. Her eyes closed and her hand caressed her cheek softly, as she finally let go of her worries for just a second, feeling just as if time froze for the trooper.

Serenna felt her kissing her and it was something she was still uncertain about but she was also certain that she rather enjoyed the sensation that came from the woman's lips on her. The taste, the feeling, the aura that came to it when she was still touching her hair and her other hand came around to the woman's shoulder. She felt a hand on her face keeping her eyes closed and being closer as she finished and came there with a look on her face when her lower lip was quivering wih a small shake to her body. A trembling sensation that went throughout all of it before she was leaning back a little and still holding herself closer. She was unsure if her voice was making this happen or if it was her but she was also not going to deny a chance to see it. She had been alone for so long.

 

[NT-6922]

Feeling that Serenna didn't seem uncomfortable with the kiss, Natassia deepened it, pressing their bodies together, her other hand going around the chiss' back, for her to hold the jedi closer. She didn't know if it was right, if she was crazy, or if it was truly her heart speaking; all that mattered was the divine sensation spreading through her being as her lips pressed against the woman's blue ones, the warmth and the comfort settling inside of her different from anything she ever experienced before. Pulling away for a very short moment, in order to breathe a little, she smirked playfully, giving her companion a playful kiss just above her lips.
"You're beautiful, Serenna."
And, as she said that, she started caressing her long purple hair, while pressing their lips together once more, her eyes closing once again as she fell into the bliss of the moment. It all felt too good, and she wanted to never let go of her...

She could feel her and pressing closer to her she was leaning on the couch with a nod of her head seeing the women when she opened her eyes. "As are you." She was seeing it and leaned back a little to mostly cool off and then to sit there and adjust so that they could be comfortable. A nice blob on the couch looking forward and huddled together. This place she doubted would really get cold given its location so the excuse of body heat was not something they could easily use. She'd have to fall back to the age old classic of body pillow so that they could sleep. She wanted to see what there was while getting her boots off and more comfortable as she stretched out. "This is a cozy place though."

 

[NT-6922]

"I'm afraid this couch is all I have for us to rest", said the trooper with a devilish smirk as she placed a quick kiss on Serenna's forehead, holding her in her arms gently. "Everything about you is so charming", whispered Natassia dreamily as she caressed the chiss' hair, still amazed by their color and how they freely reached down to the woman's feet. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment of tranquility they both shared, glad that the jedi didn't reject her, knowing she was having, by far, the best time of her life with the blue-skinned beauty. But, despite the well-being surging through her, the warmth inside of her body, there was a question burning her lips. One she just had to ask.
"Hey, Serenna", started the young woman as she angled her face to look into her companion's red eyes, smiling softly, but still nervous. "How do you feel about... this? I mean, about us?"

She looked at her sitting there and raised an eyebrow delicately. "Well that is kind of hard to say. I mean what is us? We did just meet, we kissed and I am in your place sure but how can we really define this as anything larger yet?" She looked at her and hoped it came through the way she wanted it to. She wasn't exactly certain but she dind't know how barely a day could mean in the long run. This was entirely new territory for her as well as Natassia she was guessing wanting to not hurt her feelings. "We should see how it goes before declaring it as the be all end all. You might get bored of me when you see me in the morning or after we have more conversations."

 

[NT-6922]

"I know, this sounds sudden and quite stupid", apologized the trooper, blushing a deep crimson and looking down at the ground, visibly embarassed. "It's just... was that an "accident"? Or... I mean, I know I did it so fast and everything, it's just that... was that something out of the blue? Or would you be fine with... trying to continue?"
She place her hands onto her own legs, obviously nervous as her eyes darted from Serenna to the table in front of the couch. "I'm sorry, Serenna, I'm bad with words. All I mean to tell you is that, did this mean something to you too?"
The blonde felt absolutely awkward. She was stuttering, scared that she may have done or did something wrong. This was all very alien to her, the very concept of "relationship" an oddity to the battle-hardened woman. And yet, the thought that their kiss didn't hold as much meaning to the jedi as it did to her scratched at her mind, and her attempts to hide it were a complete failure. In all truth, Natassia was terrified; she desperatly wanted to get to know the chiss better, to forge a bond with her; but her lack of any social skill made her panic in the face of an unknown situation.

Looking at her while offering a small smile and tight lipped for a moment. It is alright, I am not exactly certain what or how fast we should go but it shouldn't be at a pace where we'll be tired of each other in a couple days or weeks. Just relax, let your hair down and breathe." The chiss sat there with a look on her face so she could see many of the things here or there. She was sitting there on the couch with her so they would just be able to relax and sleep a little. Putting her feet up and moving it so Natassia's arm was round her shoulder and giving her a thing to lay on. "You have so much to offer, you don't need to rsh it or try to push it. We'll just take our time slow."

 

[NT-6922]

Natassia slowly calmed down thanks to Serenna's words, her soft, silky voice putting the trooper at ease once more. "I'll hold you on to that promise then", whispered the blonde softly. Sighing in comfort, she laid her head onto the chiss' shoulder, giving her one last kiss on the cheek for the night, before closing her eyes, wrapped up around the jedi as she slowly fell asleep, her face a mask of calm as she fell into serene dreams, holding on to the only person that mattered to her anymore.

It was all good in her opinion they were doing a great deal here, more parts of it roaming around but she wasn't going to worry about it to much. She wanted to see what they could do over some of the other places. Staying here with the trooper would give her a sense of grounding maybe... she might give the chiss a sense of family since her brother vanished another people had called for banishing given some of the circumstances. Serenna relaxed in her arms kissing her temple before she was falling asleep with a smile of contentment on her face to move forward. "Oh I wouldn't expect anything less." The smile curved her face and she sat there going to sleep.
