Avaro fidgets nervously.
Do you think your status as a fugitive will cause any problems on Coruscant?

"If you insist, then." Then, a little louder, "Food's ready. John, Jack, go wash your hands."
Myriana briskly walked to the counter and stabbed her knife into the cutting block, then tilted it back to allow the food to drop down onto a waiting platter. After arranging it, she set it on the small table where she laid three plates with silverware. Then she sat down, served herself a helping, and started eating.

Landrin reaches inside his cloak.
Most do not, but I have experienced both the guidance of the force and luck. I can tell the difference. Luckily for you, I am an extremely lucky man.
He pulls out two Sabacc cards from his cloak.
Negative twenty-three, pure sabacc. Buckle yourself in, we are coming out of hyperspace.
Landrin did not tell him that negative 23 could only be achieved using the dark one and endurance. He was unsure about the meaning of the omen.

The wayfarer exited Juvex's orbit at an astonishing speed and entered hyperspace. Kiri pushed a few more controls before looking at who she assumed was their captain. Well the fill in captain and awaited his response.

The blonde-haired woman and the team's Captain (and Preacher, by proxy, as he still held firm to the Captain's shoulder) were led into what the Outlander could only imagine was some kind of med-lab. Eyes still shut and deep in concentration, the goings-on outside his own head were muffled, like listening to a vid with the volume too low. The floor sounded different, and the room echoed and reverberated differently than the one they were in before. Preacher caught snippits of conversation, talk of IV's and bacta, injections and monitors. Thru all of this he stayed perfectly still, though should someone attempt to remove, or move him, they would find Preacher strangely immobile, as if tethered by chains to Adrien's torso. Outwardly, there were few signs that Preacher was doing much of anything, though sweat stood out on his brow, and on occasion he gritted his teeth and moaned in unison with the Captain.
Inwardly, he fought as hard as he had ever been forced to fight. This man was stubborn, and fought Preacher's help every step of the way. He had remarkable reserves of strength and tenacity, but he was in a bad way, and navigating the man's mind was treacherous. Finally, Preacher was forced to slow the man's circulatory, brain and respiratory functions to almost nil in order to stabilize him at all, and even then he was using every ounce of his strength. It seemed as though days had passed...

Erly took the instructions from Fenrir Asikari with a nod and scampered after Leon, the two nuna quietly following after the blonde-haired young woman, as if she were their mother. She frowned as she studied the Outlander man. She felt something was off. Not so much in that she felt distrustful, not that anyone would blame her or each other. They were a whole bunch of strangers suddenly cast into space together within an enclosed durasteel casing. No, what she felt was a distinctive tension.
She observed the taller man from behind, and noticed a subtle stiffness in his movements and posture, and the closeness he maintained to Adrien's side. All this, coupled with what he mentioned earlier, suggested that he had some connections to a supernatural ability.
The Force.
Erly frowned at this thought. It wasn't that she didn't approve of the Force, certainly not the Jedi. CorSec worked alongside the Jedi numerous times, usually to a mutual benefit of either organization/order. But this Outlander didn't give her that much of an impression that he was a Jedi. He was more like a Wilder, and outside person with power who trained himself to use the Force, with neither Jedi nor (possibly) Sith assistance. This made him much more unpredictable, if he held to neither Order's codes of conduct, if they had such a thing.
But it also meant he may not know his own limits, which she again guessed he might be reaching.
When they reached the facility (if it could be called that), Erly darted for a chair and brought it over for the Outlander, then she circled hastily around Leon as he gently laid Adrien on a medical bed. The worst things about fire and explosions was the way cloths can fuse to burnt and melted skin.
"So the Captain's a Firrerreon, huh?" Erly said to no one in particular, "That explains how he survived. Though it's still a miracle in a ways."
She gently and carefully peeled off layers of Adrien's clothing from his torso as she worked as quickly as she could to get him into a more stable and salvagable condition. Through some of the damage she could see, she noted that Adrien had some cybernetic replacements as well, which indicated there were some worse injuries in his past that even he couldn't heal from. She glanced over at Leon from the corner of her eye and asked, "So are you a Firrerreon too? I saw you and that other guy - I'm guessing your brother? - take some nasty injuries..."
In actuallity, Erly doubted that Leon and Fenrir were Firrerreon. If they were, they'd be taking the same amount of time as Adriend to heal, and even if Adrien were in top form, as far as she knew, Firrerreons can't heal as fast as Leon or Fenrir. They had to be some other race. At the moment, Erly's scent and heart rate were fluctuating. She was going on mild frustration, panic and anxiety as she struggled to save Adrien, and at the same time, she had to figure out the Outlander's work and attempts. If she didn't know exactly what he was doing, she might end up hindering his efforts or they might end up sabotaging each other's attempts to save a life. So after she queried Leon, she walked around to place a frail hand on the Outlander's, "Sir? I don't know what's going on in there, and you look like you're going through a hell of an effort. There's a chair behind you if you'd like to sit down. If you need, I can take it from here, or...do you want to tell me what you're doing exactly?"

Her voice registered as if from at the end of a hallway, and Preacher nodded, though he remained standing, taking no notice of the chair, nor opening his eyes. Being this deeply entwined with another was disconcerting, and it took the Outlander a few moments to remember that he hadn't informed anyone of his intentions or what in fact he was doing with their Captain. Those sorts of surface thoughts became a distant, low priority when his mind was so focused on Adrien'd well-being. He wanted to set her mind at ease, that he wasn't doing any harm, but the fact was, what he had to say may not leave the other occupant of the medlab feeling any better about his efforts.
Thanks, Miss. To be honest, can't rightly say what I'm doing. I can see wrongs in here, and I'm setting them to rights. Bout the best I can explain it. I'm also doing my level best to keep the Cap'n calm, and I'm lowering his bodily functions to their lowest possible levels to conserve his strength, and give you the time to do any healings that your machines and needles can do. You'll notice his heart-rate and pulse. That's me. I can tell you this: he's a fighter. More willpower than many I've encountered.

Leon stood back out of the way and smirked as the girl known as Erly asked if he and Fenrir were Firrerreon's as well, although it was an easy mistake to make and one that happened often enough, after all, the Warg were indeed a very secretive race so to speak and so they never quite had the fame of others. In between the woman's fluctuating scent and heart rate, which much reminded him of a prey caught in a trap, and the Outlander's use of the force, Leon had to take a moment to calm himself, knowing that Fenrir might not be so understanding if Leon were to get into a fight with the Outlander, or have a 'taste' of Erly
=Leon Asikari=
The name's Leon, and you are correct, Fenrir is indeed my brother. I guess you could pick up on the brotherly love between us, eh? As to whether we are Firrerreon's, that would be wrong. We are a slightly lesser known species, known as the Warg. And injuries like that, are really nothing compared to some of what we've been through... Our biggest problem, is force users... Like your friend, and that mando...
Fenrir had stayed in the cockpit as Kiri piloted the Wayfarer up through Juvex's orbit and made the jump to hyperspace, as he took a moment to consider the situation, wondering just what exactly he was going to do now that he had gotten the crew off Juvex. Obviously the first move would be to get Adrien medical treatment, after that though, they still had a cargo of slaves to deliver to Kessel, so that would need to be handled as well. He gave a nod to Kiri
=Fenrir Asikari=
Good work. Keep an ear on the comms...
Fenrir gave a nod, before making his way from the cockpit, back through the Shadow to the common room, where the cloaked woman and the mando were currently situated. He took a seat and nodded to both of them before activating the interior comm links to connect to both the cockpit and the med bay to allow kiri, and the group in the med bay to participate without being present
=Fenrir Asikari=
Rightio folks, we are currently on our way to Honoghr to get medical treatment for Adrien, who is the captain of this ship and it's crew. For the time being, I'll be filling his role, at least until Honoghr. From there, the destination will be Kessel, to drop off some cargo. With this in mind, take this moment to consider where you want to be dropped off or if you want to stay on board, whilst you introduce yourself. You can all call me Fenrir. So, who's next?

YT-1930, The Vasiliki — CockpitWhile Lucy was setting their course for a jump into lightspeed to their final destination, Forcias leaned back against the seat and continued to look at her very silently. Usually he was in her position, he always did every procedures whenever he was flying a spaceship but not today and it really was a big change for him. . . He wasn't complaining, because after all what was the use? Lucy had stated that she would always drive or pilot. Fine by him. Five hours to Naboo. . . He made a face at that prospect especially when she told him to not get any ideas. Well that was a downer. But the fact that she wanted to talk, that they maybe could talk, that also was equally interesting considering that he did not know much about her. It amazed him that he felt the way he was feeling about her without knowing much about her, about her life before overall. . . Although yes he could have cheated since he did have access to her dossier in the intelligence department but he never did that and the idea never actually crossed his mind. All the better for him he guessed, this trip would allow him to get to know her better like she would get to know him. But of course there were things that he more or less refused to share and no one really knew about his past, a few did of course but he never shared that part of him with anyone really. . . "I think. . ." Began to say Forcias as he capped his water to avoid spilling it just in case, and he smirked briefly. "I am definitely going to stay." He put the bottle on his seat and stood up before turning her seat so that she was facing him. "Wouldn't want to leave you all by your lonesome." He placed his hands on her armrests and kissed her softly. "Answer me this though, Lucine," Said Forcias as he pulled his head back just to look at her affectionately before his gaze turned to serious, as if he really was going to ask her a very serious question. "What makes you think that I wouldn't actually get any ideas?" Chuckling softly before pecking her lips once more as he lifted his hands to say that he had it loud and clear, and that she did not trust the auto-pilot, which he respected. Who better than her knew this ship anyways? Not him that was for sure. He returned to his seat and continued to look at her with an amused expression. But the expression soon faltered due to the fact that he actually had no idea what to talk about with her. This time he looked at her very seriously with no traces of humor and asked her. "Tell me, what should I never ask you because you actually wouldn't want to talk about that?"

"So sweet, Lucy opines with her best imitation of being swept off her feet when Forcias says he'll stay with her, arching an eyebrow with playful suspicion when his statement is followed by him coming over to her chair to kiss her. Laughing after he has asked what makes her sure he won't get any ideas despite her instructions prohibiting just that, Lucy rolls her eyes and sighs as she says, Oh, I'm sure you're always full of ideas actually, and winks as she adds mischievously, It's one of your more endearing characteristics."
When Forcias switches gears, asking a question that could invite SERIOUS CONVERSATION should she elect to answer it, Lucy, not particularly in the mood for SERIOUS CONVERSATION at the moment anymore than she is as a general rule, decides to keep the mood light and deflects the question by pursing her lips in thought and pausing as though considering the question. There are subjects that she does not share with others, or spend a great deal of time reflecting on, of course, but to admit that and point out what doors she prefers not to open would be, as far as she can see it, giving someone a map to those sensitive areas. Instead of outright admitting that such a map of certain areas of her interior exists, Lucy nimbly evades the question by saying, "That's an interesting question. Pulling her knees up on her chair and steepling her fingers together atop her knees to rest her chin on top of her fingertips, Lucy arches an eyebrow as she says, It makes me wonder what you wouldn't want to talk about. How about, she suggests, we just agree that if we ever chance to step somewhere one of us would rather the other not, we won't get offended when we're asked to back out? Sound fair?"

Her suggestion was definitely fine by him. He might not had been inclined to share about every facets of his past but he was certain that sooner or later it would come to that. For now though, just for now, Forcias inclined his head at her suggestion. He had nothing more to say or to add about that and besides it sounded that just like him, she clearly was not ready to share.
They were together that was a fact, but it was recent and despite how he was feeling when it came to her, he did not want to push it, at all.
"Roger that." Finally said Forcias after his long awaited silence as he kept looking at her and soon his expression turned into a smile and he tilted his head slightly on the side.
"Well then. . ." He placed his hands onto the armrests and sit up straight before turning back his seat to face the window, he didn't know why but there was just something about traveling lightspeed that appeased him and usually he was silent during that time. Although it could turn awkward, that much he knew.
"Five hours is a long way to go. . ." He playfully said before glancing back at her teasingly. "Are you sure that I cannot make you change your mind about trusting momentarily the auto-pilot?" He asked in a jest while he continued to look at her and smirking. "You wouldn't have to leave the cockpit if you tell me yes." He said with a sly and mischievous tone. Despite his unspoken promises, it wasn't quite that he had in mind, truthfully. It was clearly something else but he just couldn't help teasing her.

Lucy laughs when Forcias jokingly suggests that she wouldn't even have to leave the cockpit if she were to change her mind about staying, tilting her head to the side and asking playfully, "Are you that afraid of having an actual conversation for a change? Shaking her head in mock sadness, she says, And here I had such high hopes for this vacation bringing us closer together. Now, she says, crossing her arms over her chest, since you're obviously clueless about how this is done, I guess I'll have to get us started, huh? Pursing her lips in thought, Lucy holds up a finger after a moment spent trying to think of a relatively safe topic to get them started and says, Just a second. I've got this, and then smiles as something finally comes to her, announcing triumphantly, Got it! Rubbing her hands together to add to the suspense, she asks, Ready? Here goes. Who is your best friend, how and when did you meet them, and why are they your best friend? Holding her hands out at her sides, she smiles and asks, Pretty good, huh? Alright, she points at Forcias and says, go," then leans forward attentively to listen to his answer.
One thing that Lucy has faith in is that you can tell a great deal about beings by the company they keep, particularly their friends; and since she doesn't know much about Foricas beyond the basics, she hopes that his answer will afford a bit of insight into him, the desire to do so which is relatively new territory for her as she has always kept her relationships superficial in the past. That they took so long to get to the point they are at now is not, Lucy finds, something that concerns her; she trusts her feelings and trusts that Forcias would not have prompted the change by his admission when she had returned from her latest tour of duty were it not something he truly wanted.

. . . And his original plan went down the drain.
Not that it mattered much since he could settle for this right now, and even though he usually wasn't much of a talker because he wasn't used to it, wasn't used to share about him considering that he had spent his whole life with people who knew him. With people who could read his thoughts. This was different. Really different.
Nevertheless, Forcias kept his amused grin on his features and leaned back against his seat before turning it to face her entirely, he shook his head while his expression softened. Obviously, he knew what a lot of people thought about them, the Guardians, he knew they were looked upon as the most secretive, enigmatic group on the planet.
"You actually know that person." Said Forcias factually before grinning, although he knew that he would have to hold back some of his thoughts and some replies to a few of the questions she had posed, but he could settle for some of those answers without explaining it too much into details. Closing his eyes briefly as he rubbed his jaw slightly.
"You know her as the Deputy Director of Intelligence within your government." He told her with a faint affectionate smile, and clearly it wasn't like that at all, Horsea was like a sister to him, or at least it all began with her treating him as her brother when he had been brought in. "It was a long time ago," Not really although if he had to put a clear time frame on that, he would say more or less thirteen years ago, when he was pulled out of Kiffex prison by the current General.
"I was adopted by the Aestrea family. So that is when I have met her." Said Forcias with a warm smile before shaking his head at the thought. What a meeting it had been to begin with. "You could say that at the very beginning, we weren't really friends but," Chuckling softly before shaking his head with a reminiscing smile. "She proved me different on several occasions, that you don't necessarily need to be alone all the time and that it was okay to ask for help." Leaning forward slightly while he intertwined his fingers together, Forcias looked at Lucy with a warm smile. "You can say that she always had my back like I will always have hers. "
Forcias owed a lot to Honoros in a way for pulling him out of that prison and showing him that he didn't need to be angry all the time, that he could make a living out of what he was doing and he did. Hence why it was also so difficult for him to not even listen to that order he was given when it all began there. Without him being pulled away, maybe he wouldn't have been here. It was undeniable that he had omitted several parts, but Lucy didn't need to know that at least for now and he wasn't quite ready to share all of the intricacies of the Kiffars' relationships. It was complicated, so he settled for that right now.
"Back to you." He said thoughtfully although he knew that it might have been Jesse Sunsoar to begin with, but how they had met, he had no idea because again, he refused to get into her files to know every details of her life. Although he did smile faintly. "For the record, of course I am clueless, I thought you already knew that with you calling me your dope and all." He winked at her playfully before leaning back once more against his seat while he grabbed his bottle of water to take a sip of it as he waited for her answer with attention. . .

After Forcias finishes speaking, Lucy leans forward and clasps his hands in hers as she says softly, "I'm glad you had her, and then smirks as she punches him in the arm and says, and I knew you were clueless the first time me met, dope." Lucy doesn't know much about Horsea, but can read between the lines of what Forcias said well enough to understand the bond that must have been forged between them, and how important she must have been in him becoming who he is.
Leaning back in her seat, Lucy clasps her hands behind her head as she says, "You probably already know most of my answer, her relationship with Sunsoar always having been the stuff of legend among many in the UDF, as well as, she knows, a lot of foundationless speculation based on their closeness, I've known Jesse, she begins, a faint smile on her lips as she recalls the time in question, pretty much my entire life. We grew up together on Corellia, and his family pretty much adopted me in all but name. Her smile remains, only her eyes hinting that the reasons for the Sunsoar family's large part in Lucy's childhood are not entirely idyllic; Jesse's parents gave her a haven from her father, and while she could not hide the bruises, only Jesse knows that they were not the only form of abuse her father visited upon her. We went through high school together, Lucy continues, not mentioning how many fights Jesse got into defending her or how many fights she got into taking revenge on those that Jesse was hurt by while defending her; her way of dealing with her demons giving her a reputation she always felt she deserved, making Jesse's actions incomprehensible to her at the time. And we joined the CDF together after we graduated, Lucy says. I don't know how much you know about the way it was in the Core Worlds at the time; there was almost constant fighting between the Jedi and the Sith, and so we were always in one conflict or another. A small smile quirks the left corner of her lips upward, though it does not reach her eyes, We got one another out of a lot of shit." Lucy pauses a moment, trying to decide whether to go into details, but ultimately decides not to for now.
Sighing and lowering her arms, crossing them over her knees and resting her chin on the top of her knees as she continues, her smile more genuine now, "And we moved to Umgul and joined the UDF together. Like you said, we've always had each other's back and I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that he always will. Feeling as though her words have been inadequate, Lucy tries to explain better, He knows me better than anyone, you know? Lucy laughs, not entirely joking as she adds, And he still stands by me. If it wasn't for him, Lucy shrugs, admitting, I'm not sure I would have made it through . . . everything. I don't know that I'd be the me I am. Rolling her eyes, not used to introspection and feeling the need to distance herself from it, Lucy says, Anyway, that's my story. Next question is yours, unless you've had enough of sharing time and want to do something else. I could probably risk going as far as the lounge aft of the cockpit. We could play some dejarik, or sabacc? Your call."

"Stand up." Finally said Forcias after she was done talking, after he had stood up from his seat. He looked at her with a sincere gaze, he actually wasn't up to no good, no crazy thoughts were running through his mind. So when she indeed stood up, he sat down on her seat and placed his hands on her waist and made her seat on his lap. Wrapping his arms around her waist his chest pressed against her back, he took one of her hands and intertwined their fingers together.
Placing his chin affectionately onto her shoulder, he closed his eyes and breathed softly. "I am glad you had Jesse too." Said Forcias with a warm smile before opening his eyes again so that he could just look at her. "I did implicitly promise that you do not have to leave the cockpit, right?" Leaning back against the seat and bringing her with him, against him still, he was perfectly fine just being this way with her. He never felt the need to actually talk that much but he knew that considering that they did not know that much about one another and she couldn't exactly feel his emotions unlike the people he was constantly surrounded with, he had to make that effort. Which was perfectly fine by him.
"I know that I could never take his place," Forcias began softly and by that of course he meant Jesse, he could feel and see that the two of them shared something unique too, just like Forcias and Horsea; clearly he didn't want to take that away from her, from Jesse. "And I do not dream of doing so, but," He nuzzled her neck gently and affectionately while he squeezed her hand soothingly. "I'd like to know you better than anyone too."
Forcias knew that it wasn't going to take overnight, that it wasn't going to be granted to him automatically as after all, he supposed that Lucy had many questions still about him, about his upbringing really. He had no idea how to really share that, but that wasn't important right now and considering that he did not want to down the mood, her mood, he smiled warmly and tilted his head on the side slightly just to look at her.
"When you and I first met. . ." Forcias chuckled briefly before shaking his head momentarily. "I wasn't supposed to go to the biometric scan, Horsea sent me there to upgrade your clearances." He admitted thoughtfully, he remembered her words when he had come back and briefed the DDI of his encounter with the woman he currently was with. "I told her how that went, and she just rolled her eyes and called me obtuse, something like that." He definitely had an amused smile on the corner of his lips because, yes he had been clueless at that moment.
But still, one thing lingered right now, apparently it was his turn to ask a question, and again since he did not want to down the mood, he settled for something simple and easy, or at least he hoped. . . "What are your best three memories?" He asked curiously before he slightly moved his upper body so he could just look at her.

Arching an eyebrow curiously when Forcias tells her to stand, Lucy takes a moment just to make it clear she's doing so of her own accord rather than due to being ordered, her lop-sided grin denoting amusement when he has her sit but quickly becoming an affectionate smile as he laces their fingers together. Looking up from their hands after Forcias has finished speaking, Lucy says, "Obtuse is a good word for you," her tone warm rather than sarcastic or mocking.
Keeping his hand in hers, Lucy doesn't answer his question about her best memories at first, addressing two of his earlier statements instead, "I'd like you to know me better than anyone too. And you won't be taking Jesse's place, dope, you'll have a different one all of your own, you know?" Smiling, more in amusement at her poor attempt to articulate what she means than anything else, but also in simple happiness at finding herself where she is now and feeling things she never imagined she would be able to feel, Lucy is silent for a few moments before speaking again.
After looking up searchingly as she tries to think of memories that fit the bill, Lucy smiles as she says, "The first time I flew a starfighter solo, that's up there. Reaching the summit of some mountain near Doaba Guerfel on Corellia, that's another. I don't even remember the name of the mountain now. I did it freesolo, you know? No ropes, no harnesses. It took four hours, but reaching the top? It was amazing. A little crazy, Lucy admits with a laugh, the risks of the sport well known; and at the time risks she had felt compelled to take in an attempt to escape the dreams that still occasionally plague her to this day, risks taken as though daring Fate to correct what had seemed like the mistake of her and Jesse alone surviving the deaths of their squadmates. but worth it. Resting her head against Forcias' chest, Lucy concludes softly, This. Here, now with you. This is up there. Maybe at the top. Lifting their hands and kissing the tops of Forcias' fingers, Lucy resists her inclination to resort to humor rather than let herself remain so open, and asks, What about your three?"

YT-1930, The Vasiliki - Cockpit
The fact that he and Lucy were just sitting down right now and doing nothing but talk, somewhat surprised Forcias but at the same time it really felt nice and soothing. He really had no need nor want currently to indulge in something they always used to do. Forcias was appeased despite their closeness right now. He also knew that he had dived into something different, something more meaningful, and he was perfectly content, happy this way.
How they had come to this, maybe it was just fate or maybe. . . Chuckling slightly at the thought that crossed his mind especially when Lucy told him that the word Horsea had used to describe him was good for him. "You have no idea. . ." Forcias said with an amused tone. Lucy, of course, knew more or less, like he did. But to be clueless to that point? Especially when he was supposed to know where Horsea's Force powers laid. Forcias shook his head and looked at Lucy with a faint smile, it wasn't farfetched to him now that he understood why Horsea had requested for his help to outfit the military in Umgul too, it was no coincidence that Horsea also requested Lucine and Jesse for that project. "Wow. . ." Forcias' eyes widened briefly when he came to that realization and he smiled warmly before he wrapped his arm around Lucy to be closer to her.
Since that wasn't the topic right now, Forcias had his undivided attention onto Lucy when she expressed clearly her agreement for him to get to know her better too. At that, he definitely smiled and rubbed the hand he was holding soothingly with his thumb. "I like that it's all going to be mine." He told her affectionately as he leaned over to just kiss her temple gently. He really was looking forward to that, he still knew that it wasn't going to come overnight and that they got recently together officially but like he had told her before when he was waiting for her at her doorstep, he'd wait for however long and even though it was a big change for him, he meant that sincerely.
"Nomad's Retreat." He softly murmured, he knew that place as the old name but even before he could go on with his musing, he looked at her when she stated her final best memory. Forcias smiled warmly and moved his arm slightly to let her be comfortable against him and he moved his hand to her cheek before leaning over to kiss her lips gently and softly. He could tell that she was letting him discover her in a different light, he also could see and tell that she clearly meant those words. It made him smile because he was feeling the same way. No matter how long they had both tried to deny that maybe their attraction went beyond that casual relationship they were into, he was here with her and he wouldn't trade that for anything right now.
Forcias knew that the question he had previously asked her would come back to him, he looked at her and took a deep breath. "Leaving Kiffex is one of them." Said Forcias with a faint smile, although he did not give the details just yet, but to him it was more than just that agricultural planet, it was where he was shackled for a time. "And then finally getting a hold on how to pilot any spaceships to see the galaxy." It was one of those forms of liberty that he loved, despite being continuously on duty as a Guardian. Forcias nearly went to every parts of the galaxy but still that was meaningful for him. "Last but not least, landing on Umgul and finding you. Just you." That was definitely one of the best memories he had, just being with her before, after and now just being this way with her and all the emotions he was feeling currently thanks to her.
He smiled warmly at her and just held her against him affectionately and maybe lovingly too. What was love really? He did not know and perhaps sooner or later he would find out but currently he just wanted to appreciate this moment and just hold onto it.
"Please remind me to thank Horsea sooner or later. . ." Said Forcias softly before he tilted his head on the side with a faint smile. "I think that, actually I know that maybe if it weren't for her, I may have never approached you during Crystal's birthday by the bar. . ." Chuckling softly, Forcias shook his head at the realization as he still remembered being nudged by the now Deputy Director to get those drinks for her and Ayla.
