*When she comes back out grinning, Octavious smiles back. He wraps his arms around her waist and kisses her deeply. He takes a moment to hold her and then quickly takes her hand and leads her to the breakfast table. 4TY is already setting up and has put the spread of delicate and delicious nubian fruits in the middle. He pulls out her seat like a gentleman, kisses her hand and sits next to her. 4TY begins putting the fruits on the plates and carving them up in the way they need to be carved. The droid then bows and walks off.*
"Time to dig in."
*And Octavious does just that.*

Mirania giggled as he led her down to the breakfast table, and her mouth began to water when she beheld the spread that 4TY was preparing. Her stomach growled loudly and she didn't need to be told twice to dig in. She needed a good meal, especially after their magical evening and encore earlier in the morning.
No words were spoken as she was too busy stuffing her face and Octavious was doing the same...

*She was awesome to behold. She didn't need prompting or stood on circumstance. She just started helping herself. A rare trait in a woman. Then again, she was a fellow wanderer and probably wasn't used to eating this good. He ate quickly, but didn't eat much. He could rely on the Force to sustain him for long periods of time. He just enjoyed the time being with his....lover? Girlfriend? A detail to muse over later. For now he had to break her some bad news.*
"I've been called back to Coruscant. I have to report back in."
*He held a long pause. He didn't want to leave. Being here with her, felt right. But he had a duty to perform. It would be easy to just forget it and move on and take this in the direction of marriage and raising a family with her while living here on Naboo. It would be a glorious life. But alas, Octavious wasn't made that way. He had a responsibility to the whole galaxy.*
"I'd like to take you with me. I think you know I'd rather stay here with you forever, but duty calls. What do you say?"

Mirania was silent when he said he had to leave, and though she had anticipated this, it didn't mean she had to like it. Her first instinct was to tell him to stay, to tell his superiors to bugger off for a day or two but she immediately realized how childish and irresponsible that would be. He was a Jedi, and Jedi had a duty to protect the galaxy. It wasn't just something they could put on hold for anything...or anyone.
There was the possibility of going with him, too, but whatever he was doing was likely to be dangerous, like their encounter on Utapau. She had seen the news and knew that a war was coming, if it wasn't here already, and the last place she wanted to be was in a war zone. And yet, the thought of being by herself anywhere in the galaxy was a depressing one, now that she had met someone she never wanted to part with.
She sighed sadly."I...I don't know..."She looked up at him."I want to go with you but...well I don't want our third date to be like Utapau."She giggled a little, but it quickly subsided and she sighed again."I don't know, Octavious..."

"I understand your uneasiness. I'm just going to the Temple to report. I'm sure you'll be safer there than Utapau."
*Which was true, in a sense. There were others there to protect her if she went. But he wan't going to force her.*
"I can't force you to join me, if you want you can stay here and 4TY will arrange for you to travel wherever else you feel you need to go. I strongly dislike dropping this on you, but duty calls. I don't want this to end, but it's your choice. Regardless, I have to go. Soon."
*A slight heartahce was starting to form. Even though he was aBaran Do Sage it's wasn't easy to get rid of.* |

Mirania sighed again, wishing she had just a little more time to think. This just wasn't fair, that they only got one night together before he had to go, magical as that night had been. She wanted to be with him, even if it was dangerous, but the memories of Utapau hadn't entirely been forgotten in the heat of the moment. That had been dangerous and she wasn't sure she could go through that again.
She sighed."I..."She hesitated for a moment, weighing either decision, but then she finally spoke."I want to go with you."

"I know it isn't fair to ask this of you, so I'll make you a promise. Whatever it takes, I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe from harm. Our time together has been brief but I feel we met for a reason. Plus, I plan on making this up to you as well. And you know I come through on my promises."
*He takes her hand and kisses it. He felt bad that this was dropped on her, but he loved her. As sudden as it was to feel such a thing, he felt it. She changed him. For the better. He had found such a rare thing as her. He wanted her in his life, and he could tell she did too. He knew she didn't want to endure the terrible things like on Utapau and neither did he but he was accustomed to that. He just had to make sure she didn't. And he would.* |

Mirania felt she could trust him when he said he would keep her safe. In truth though, she was beginning to worry that her presence would cause him to put himself in more danger than usual just to protect her. It was something that hadn't occurred to her before, but now that it had, she was wondering if she should really accompany him. Still, he had said he was just going to report to the temple on Coruscant, so what could be so dangerous about that? She just hoped nothing would happen.
She smiled."OK...but you're gonna have to really work to make up for this."She was mostly joking. Mostly. He would still have to finish this vacation at a later date.

"I know you're disappointed. I am too. Next time, I'll make sure we go off grid."
*An old spy joke. Not an actual joke, but a promise. He would take her to the temple. She would be safe there.*
"We should get going, unless you want to say goodbye to 4TY first?"
*That part was a joke. He takes her hand and helps her up. He looks at her for a moment, and then hugs her for a good while and holds her.* |

Mirania giggled at his little joke about the droid, and she probably didn't need to tell him that saying goodbye to 4TY would be the last thing on her list of priorities. Heh...
She sighed and let him hold her for awhile, wondering if this would be the last time they could do so, but as they stood there in each others arms, a thought occurred to her. She smiled and leaned up to whisper in his ear."You know...we'll have some time during the trip, won't we?"

"Oh yes we will. The core is about 5 parsecs away and a half parsec to Coruscant. More than enough time."
*Which was true. He took her by the hand and started walking towards his ship. 4TY would clean up the rest although they would surely hear about their ungratefulness should they return. Once they arrive at his ship, he fires up the controls and heads for open orbit. The Star Skiff comes to a hover and retracts the landing gear and takes off.* |
