Heroes in exile (Tatcon x Sana)

He was more than up to the task of holding her up, especially with the way her legs wrapped around him so tightly, the way his shaft pressed so close to her womanhood that he could almost imagine the sensation of being inside her right now. It was definitely intoxicating, especially with the way she was trying to challenge him with the power of her kisses, and he was more then willing to fight back and keep his position, holding her tightly as he kissed back with equal passion to keep her in her place.

Articulation wasn't really required when their bodies were together like this and she was grinding against his shaft so desperately. He would only smile brightly as he rested her against the wall a bit so he could free a hand, bringing it around so he could feel his shaft between her legs, and slowly rub it along her smooth womanhood before slowly guiding it inside her again, that sweet feeling of lust and physical fulfillment starting to come back to him as her tight insides surrounded his member. He had to release a moan before wrapping his arms around her once more, balancing himself in the middle of the refresher as he slowly guided her on and off his manhood as he began to feel drugged by the pleasure, the steam, and her beautiful eyes...simply delightful.
 
Whimpering with need as she ground herself against him suddenly Kai felt cold at her back as her pressed her against a wall and one of his hands disappeared. For a moment she felt him move slightly away from her and groaned with disappointment but then immediately after felt the head of his member sliding up and down her slit before he notched himself and slowly sank inside of her. Her disappointment was immediately forgotten as she let out a long gasping moan as he filled her some completely again, her small body being stretched by his tool again. Being a small woman and having Rayne-Sunn’s large organ spreading her insides felt heavenly to Kailian as she rocked her hips to meet every thrust as he bounced her body guiding their rhythm.

Every ridge and bump on his shaft elicited another feeling from inside of her as she let him take her to the heights of pleasure again as she found herself suddenly squeezing him, her body tightening around his shaft as lights exploded in her mind and pleasure rolled over her. A squeal erupted from her lips as she felt her body shake frozen on him, as her inner muscles worked to milk him before she collapsed forwards onto his shoulder. A few seconds later and her hips were starting to rock again as Kai felt that her body could reach that pinnacle again and if Rayne-Sunn could take her there again and again, she felt that she would do anything that he asked her to. Her lips found his again even as she felt that thick shaft sliding in and out of her filling her pleasantly.
 
He could honestly not of expected her to reach her first pinnacle so quickly, having just gotten started himself. Regardless, it was a delightfully heavenly feeling to have her small body shake so violently around his actions, her womanhood squeezing so tightly on him as he kept sliding himself in and out of her. Truly, how could a Jedi find any bliss away from this union. Nothing felt more pure or true than these actions and emotions, especially with their rawness. Maybe that is why it was always forbidden, raw emotion always led down dark paths from which many did not return, but he didn't see how that could be possible, not with how this felt.

His mind came back in to focus quite quickly when she brought her lips back to his, and this simply made him start working her faster over his shaft, the passion starting to whip him into a frenzy he normally saved for a battle. And curiousity spurned him to try something else. As one arm continued to hold her tightly against him and keep her moving, a finger idly ran down her spine and between the cheeks of her behind, stopping to run over her backdoor a bit, poking in to it curiously to see what kind of response that part of the body illicited from her.
 
Gasping she felt her body rocking and riding on Rayne-Sunn, every thrust brought new feelings, new pleasure washing over her. Kailian just surrendered herself to the feeling, surrendered herself to Rayne-Sunn and that total trust, that total emersion of herself in another being was intoxicating as much as it was reassuring. As that passion rolled over herself and flooded her senses Kai acted in such a wanton manner as she rolled her hips against his, reveling in the feel of his length sliding around inside of her, his girth stretching her and making her his in a way that no one else could possibly understand.

His hands on her rear guiding her working her faster and faster against his shaft had her moaning into his mouth, his wandering hand left a trail of tingles as it slid down in spine and down between her butt cheek. Suddenly she felt his finger tip at her backdoor, rubbing causing her to stiffen in shock at what he was exploring, before she felt that finger poke up inside of her. Gasping she broke their kiss to let her mouth fall against his shoulder panting against his skin as that finger broke the tight seal and wiggled inside of her. On one had the invading digit felt strangely uncomfortable, stretching an even tighter hole than the one his shaft was in, but on the other hand it felt strangely good at the same time and Kai couldn’t decide which felt better as she lay tense against his shoulder, with that finger in her rear.
 
Rayne-Sunn wasn't always one to push boundaries too far, always being careful of walking the fine line between adventurous and dangerous in every facet of his life. That was why he had adopted the fighting style he had, took the risk of returning to his parents during the purge all among other things. So he would keep teasing her behind, sliding finger out when she seemed to tense up, and then trying again, all the while making sure that their true connection was never severed...such pleasure was never something you wanted to surrender when so close to someone.

Realistically it was hard to describe how the two Jedi had gone from strangers just a few days ago to extremely intimate partners, but the collective history of the Jedi Order coupled with their own trials and tribulations generated an attraction, a need for something positive for them to cling to, especially another who might feel the same. Either way, when her head went to his shoulder his lips decided to occupy themselves by going to her small, beautiful wet neck, which he started kissing softly, sucking on her skin softly.
 
For Kai the things he was doing to her body bordered on magical. Every time she thought it was starting to get uncomfortable she’d slide that finger out and back into her rear eliciting new feelings and strange tingle from her rear as he pumped his large finger in her, but he never stopped bouncing her onto his shaft, its bumps and veins sliding against the ripples of her own internal muscles making Kailian’s pleasure grow ever higher with each thrust. At that moment in time she wasn’t thinking about the Jedi or anything other than the feel of Rayne-Sunn’s wet body against hers. No worry or stray thought crossed her mind except the joy of the things that he was doing to her body, the passion he elicited from her.

Every time the fat head of his penis slid almost out of her Kai felt a momentary loss but it disappeared as she felt him slide back inside of her, back home. And that’s the way Kai felt, like she belonged her with Rayne-Sunn coupling with him in this way like it was her destiny. Moaning and shaking she felt another climax building and if she had been a student of medicine rather than a student of warfare she would know the dangers of what they were doing as well, less than a day before they had run the same risk, and Kai was like any other female in the galaxy, and the two Jedi’s couple was perfectly in the middle of her cycle.
 
To be perfectly honest, Rayne-Sunn had never weighed the risk of what was happening, and even if he knew there was a good chance he wouldn't of cared. After having experienced the care (or lack thereof) that his father had given him, he had always harboured the thought that he could do better. Maybe together him and Kai could make a difference, and start the next generation of Jedi in these dark times. Unfortunately his committments to the Jedi were never far from his mind, even at a moment like this...though the way she made him felt, the way she was his to take, protect, please and enjoy was about the only thing that could unseat his number one priority. It was strange magic, but did it ever feel so perfect.

In getting lost in his thoughts he would be returned to the situation by the building of her second climax, and in all honesty he was feeling that he couldn't take much more before he felt the same. Maybe when she was healed he would try something more radical with their bodies, but as they were trapped now, he didn't want to change a thing. The feeling of her tight womanhood stroking him to his orgasm so sweetly as his finger started to push further and further into her behind. He knew that when her walls tightened again, it would be the end of the line for him. He was doomed, and he didn't care.
 
Kai was lost to the sensations a slave to the feel of that thick long shaft thrusting and throbbing inside of her core. Right then that was all she cared about, nothing else mattered but that feeling of being filled, and of being Rayne-Sunn’s. As her second climax build she felt it building slowly higher and higher its peak so close yet just out of reach for her, and as it built her pleasure mounted, tangibly so close to washing over her and claiming every one of her senses but unattainable. That growing pleasure had changed her whimpering begging and pleas for more, to unintelligible whimpering and gasping of Rayne-Sunn’s name his pounding taking up her whole consciousness. It was almost painful how much that pleasure grew but never peaked she clung to him her fingernails digging into his shoulder when suddenly she felt his finger delve further into her behind and felt his knuckles against her cheeks that long digit buried in her and stretching and wiggling inside of her.

This time she was aware of the build and thought she should be unsurprised by the peak that crested over her but it came just as fast and as her first, due to that exploring finger. Her head snapped back and her body jerked as she felt herself automatically clenching and milking him inside of her. All control was lost as she barely kept herself from letting go of him and falling backwards as her body undulated against him, the tip of his large organ pressing right up against the deepest part of her kissing against some opening deep inside. Her head snapped back forwards and she bit down on his shoulder as she wailed her pleasure, every nerve exploding inside of her as her mind went white with pleasure.
 
The movement of her body and the explosive nature of her climax was enough to bring him over the edge as well, his body building its release before his muscles tighted and once she pitched forward and was close to him again he held on tight as he quickly filled her up, a torrent of warm seed released inside her happily. He would be able to hold on to her on his own for a few moments before he required the support of the wall, breathing heavily as he tried to maintain his balance under the warm waters of the refresher.

Slowly he would place kisses upon her shoulder and neck, still holding her so close and simply refusing to let her go despite his weakness. His mind would slowly come back to him through the fog of plesure and ectasy, and slowly his breath returned, though he could be aware of very little than their proximity, her smooth body still so close to his and still how natural this all felt. It was a delight and as much better as it would be to let her go...he simply couldn't. Not yet.
 
As thought process slowly returned, that all-consuming pleasure slowly fading, Kailian could feel him splashing her insides with a warmth and wetness that was different. Just as his own gasps and heaving breathing was different than they had been and Kai just basked in the afterglow, feeling his strong swelling and pulsing inside of her, more and more liquid being poured into her body. As those torrents began abating she felt herself being balanced against the wall, soft kisses on her shoulder and neck making her shiver in happiness as she relaxed against him.

At that moment Kai was exhausted, yet still pleased by the events that had happened. In a way she had needed to be that close to Rayne-Sunn after almost losing him. That act of coupling had calmed her, reassured her of his reality and at the same time connected her again with him in a way that she doubted the council would have liked for two Jedi to be connected. Snuggling her face into his shoulder Kai felt limp against him and hoped that she wasn’t too heavy for him to hold up, even if she had been Kai wasn’t sure that she would have been able to take her own weight after such a climax. “Wow…” Finally she decided to break the silence and whispered against his wet neck, that one word containing so much emotion that she was trying to convey to Rayne-Sunn about her view on what had just happened between them yet again. “…I could become addicted to that.”
 
He would have no words for the moment, there wasn't a single word in Galactic Basic that could convey what had happened. He would just smile to what she said and held her closer, tilting her head back so he could give her a long, soft kiss before straightening himself up, strength slowly returning to his exhausted muscles as the blood returned to his extremeties. Damn the human body for that minor flaw.

A smart response would eventually come to his strained brain, causing him to chuckle before he spoke, "The Jedi Order does not condone anyone taking part in any addiction. As your superior I am going to have to punish you for that." He teased, giving her behind a light tap as a result before slowly letting her down from her perch around his waist. He wouldn't force her to deal with her entire weight just yet, still holding her up, but his body was not entirely content with how he was holding her up even after demanding so much of his muscles. Some things were worth it, but if they had to fight at their destination, it wouldn't be useful to be crippled. Slowly he would resume cleaning her with the soap dispenser...makes sense to pick up where they left off before the demands of need, love and attraction reared their heads.
 
Laying her head down against his shoulder she was giggling when he told her he had to punish her and lightly tapped her rear making her jump and gasp, her face flaming again as she liked the feel of him spanking her. As he let her down Kai heard the light sucking ‘pop’ sound as they separated and she felt his seed dripping down onto her thighs and the floor of the shower. As he washed her she kept herself leaning against him letting his hands slide over her body, lathering the soap and cleaner on her muscles and working out the tension even as he helped to get her clean.

As much as she was able to Kai helped to wash him, her good hand exploring every inch of him it was able. The exploration was sensual but not in a sexual way, it was caring and mind opening as her hand found his muscles and the scars he carried from his service as a Jedi. Finally she felt the spray washing away the last of the soap from either of them and relaxed against him utterly tired as she half walked half hopped her way out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself trying to dry her body one handed. Groaning in frustration she bit her lip and looked hopefully up at Rayne-Sunn again. “I feel so useless right now.”
 
He knew that they both had stories, thousands of them, all etched in their skin in the places where the imperfections lay. Burns, scars, bumps, bruises...they all told of the Clone Wars, the Purge and all the trials and tribulations that a Jedi had to face until the day they would die. It was never a happy story, and looking over how Kai must have lived, felt and made it through her life...she story was far worse than many others. This made his a bit sad despite the beautiful joining the two of them had just completed as he cleaned her down, and watched her hop out of the shower.

Her statement was also quite sadening, be he knew that there was an end to her current ailment, a definite deadline to at least one issue affecting them now. To that he could only smile and assist her a bit in drying off. "Only for now Kai, you'll be healed soon enough. Stop worrying about it and instead concentrate on getting better." He said calmly, removing the plastic glove from her broken hand and then sitting her down again so he could apply another soothing bacta patch to her leg. With the work done he would give her a soft kiss, and offer his hand to help her out of the refresher, and probably back to her quarters.

"Hmm, how about something to eat. I am absolutely starving."
 
Kai had long since stopped worrying about the different marks on her young body, each held a memory or story but most were things that she didn’t want to continually try to remember. Some of them were even things that used to give her nightmares every night, and for a while on Nar Shaddar she’d been jumpy and always ready to fight. On some level she realized just how bad the mental damage was, but most of the time she just shoved it aside in favor of knowing that she was alive and had survived, and had to keep surviving to honor the dead.

Letting him reapply bacta to her leg she smiled and kissed him back softly, before resting his head against Rayne-Sunn’s shoulder for a few moments. As he led her from the shower she limped along still using him for support when Rayne-Sunn asked his question and her stomach answered with a loud grumble. With her face turning red Kailian bit her lip and nodded her good hand still holding the towel together over her body. “Um…should we go get me dressed first? Or would you prefer me to eat in the nude?” Even as she asked her stomach rumbled again and Kai made the decision of food first clothes later, and started to push Rayne-Sunn towards the ships kitchen.

Once there she looked through different cupboards with as much skill as her broken hand and injured leg allowed. At one point she even had to hop up onto the counter resting on her good knee to root through one of the taller cupboards before finally finding all the bits and pieces she wanted and set about making a small stir-fry dinner. Fumbling as she went, and kept forgetting her broken hand as she tried to use it to grab spices or to cut things.
 
Rayne-Sunn was tempted to help her with every movement she made which caused her pain, effort and discomfort but based on what she had said about feeling useless, he had the feeling that she needed to do this as she wanted, even if it caused her great annoyance. Instead he would watch her, having wrapped a tower around his waist as he smiled in amusement. Her dedication and tenacity was amusing and so un-Jedi like that he sometimes wondered how she ever entered the temple. However, one could not forget what the four years in between then and now could have done to a person and regardless, he was beginning to love her for all her quirks.

After a while he would quietly walk away, heading up to the bridge to see where they were in their sequence. They were on their way to Corscant, stopping there for just a moment before flipping somewhere in the Mid Rim and then they would move to their final destination. Smiling a bit at their success he would look at his droid, and nod. "Good work, keep us save, and we should live a long, long life." He said quietly before wandering back down to the kitchen to see how poor Kai was getting on with making dinner, standing in the door way again as if waiting for some call to grant her some help, not wanting to just jump in and deprive her of that feeling of being useful as she was.
 
Smiling happily Kai had finally gotten everything going and kept things under control as she worked. The kitchen had always been somewhere that she had felt at home, and when they were in the field she had always wanted to provide some kind of hot food if it was a possibility to the clone troopers under their command. Those clones were the people she felt closest too outside of the Jedi community, and though her teachers had told her not to get attached, she knew she’d failed. Every campaign she’d made sure to learn as many names as possible, to learn their likes and personalities. Despite them all looking the same they had a different feel in the Force just like any other living creature. That dedication and tenacity to helping others had gotten her so many disciplinary chores from Master Almrik, but she’d caught him doing the same things from time to time as well.

The strain of several years of war did that to people. It made them question their beliefs and everything they’d been raised and trained to do and become. That strain had almost broken Kailian on more than one occasion as she’d tried to grasp and wrestle with her part in the massive injustice that went on under the control of the Jedi order and the Republic. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts she worked quickly to add the finishing touches to the food, and used her force powers to float the plates and utensils over to the table. Giggling to herself she hadn’t noticed Rayne-Sunn in the doorway, instead she was thinking of all the times she’d gotten into trouble for doing things like this, a misuse of her power, is what she’d been told. But it made setting the table so much easier and that’s what Kai was going to do, especially with her current if temporary handicaps. Without looking at the door she started to call out for Rayne-Sunn, “Rayne-Sunn! Its –“ She turned so that she could shout out the door but saw him standing there and she stopped blushing, “Oh…um, its dinner time.” Biting her lip she limped over to the table, her towel still secure around her body.
 
There it was again, that sense of amusement as he silently watched Kai put together dinner, and use the force to dress the table so they could eat. Her reaction when she used her Force powers in a 'forbidden' manner almost made his chuckle which would break his cover, and at the moment that was something he simply didn't want to do. So he remained quiet and observed, and when she finally noticed him, he smiled beamingly, and chuckled. "Excellent. I'm starving. And it smells soooo goood!" He said with a strong emphasis, truly loving the smell of the food she had provided.

Walking over towards the place she had prepared for him, he gently ran his hand over her back as he passed, sitting down slowly and looking at the food before him. He would take in a long sniff of the delicious meal, before grabbing his utensils, and digging in. It would be until he had taken the first bite that he realized how hungry he was, and how much energy he had spent in the past few hours since they had arrived at his family platform. Sex, battle and being thrown across a hangar had certainly made him develop an appetite, and it would also be then he realized how sore he was. Rolling his strong shoulders, he would give a sigh, his mind sending the grief of his parents passing further in to his mind until the two of them were in a better place in order to process exactly what had happened.

"This is delicious my love.." he said quietly, looking up to Kai as he chewed on the stir fry, smiling as best he could with a mouth full of food.
 
Blushing she knew that Rayne-Sunn was teasing her and being slightly over dramatic on purpose, but for some reason she couldn’t find the will to become upset with him. Instead she only nodded and walked the food over to the table, and started to fill his plate even as she felt his hand on her back sending warm happy tingles through her at the contact. This time she was sure it wasn’t the passion like they had shared twice before during the day, it was something softer more content and promising. Taking a moment she closed her eyes and just enjoyed that feeling before taking her own seat and started to eat along with him, her own appetite as ravenous as his after all of the energy that had been expended the day before.

When he told her that the food was delicious Kai froze, not because of the compliment but because of the endearment that had been added at the end. Her face was bright red and she couldn’t help the happy buzz that was going through her at his words. Biting her lip Kai couldn’t stop the smile that broke out along with her flush at being called that. As a Jedi those words would have been so wrong, an immediate cause for expulsion; but now they warmed her heart like nothing had in nearly four years. Unable to meet his gaze or erase her smile Kai simply nodded looking down at her place, her voice slightly husky and still filled with happiness as she responded. “Thank you, I tried my best.”

That warm feeling infused her with energy and happiness as she quickly finished her own food and sat back in her chair looking at Rayne-Sunn’s chest. Every time Kailian tried to look at his face she would blush and smile and look away again, remembering that endearment. Clearing her throat she tried to get her mind off of the topic, “So um…where are we headed for now then?”
 
Rayne-Sunn had been quick to finish his meal, though he managed to finish at the same time as her, making the same motion to lean back in his chair comfortably as he looked at the wall across from him. He was in a moment of contented contemplation as he thought about all of the good and the bad which had surrounded them over the past 48 hours, and he just got lost in thought. It would be her soft question which brought him back to their reality, as he turned his blue eyed gaze back to her, and smiled softly.

Leaning forward he would run his finger along the edge of his plate as he responded. "Dantooine. Some parts of the planet are quite isolated, and the old Jedi Temple really puts up a strong Force mask, so we should be invisible. From hiding into hiding...does not seem like the fatal blow we wished to strike into the heart of the Empire..is it?" He said with a bit of disappointment. It was short lived however, because despite the fact they were not immediately planning their rebellion against the Empire, they were safe and they had each other. At the moment, that seemed more important.

"We should be arriving there in a little bit. We've had to make a few jumps to try and mask where we're going so we can..just rest." He said with a soft sigh, before slowly standing up, and grabbing their empty plates. "Say, is there any more?" He asked with renew vigor, curious now if there was more deliciousness to be had. Surprisingly, that was enough to distract him.
 
Listening intently Kai still couldn’t bring herself to look Rayne-Sunn in the eyes. Over the past few short days everything that was inside of her that made her part of the Jedi had been shaken and many of the codes she had been taught had been broken. A part of her mind questioned whether it was possible to fell such deep feelings, anything similar to love, when a person had never known that feeling before. She also wondered if it was possible to feel them in such a short time or was that a connection simply brought on by the stress of the situation, similar to her connections to the clones she had fought beside in battle during the war.

All of these thoughts warred in her mind as she heard Rayne-Sunn tell her their destination and gave a short nod. “That seems like a good place, or as good as any. No, not really the resistance we’d first spoke of but we need to stay alive, at least it’s better than some of the alternatives as places to go into hiding for now. I think eventually we need to start finding others though, try to build a resistance not just of Jedi but regular people as well.” Shrugging she stood and limped towards the counter to grab the pitcher of water that she’d left there. When she stood she tugged at her towel making sure the garment stayed tight around her, and again strange feelings washed over her. The idea that her body could incite lust was strange as was the need to worry about modesty all things she’d been told were not necessary in the emotionless system that was the Jedi order.

Kailian felt him step up beside her with their empty plates and ask if there was anything more. “Um I think there’s a bit more, not too much but enough for you. I’m full though so eat up.” She gestured with her hand towards the pan that still sat over the cooker and limped her way slowly back to the table. “So what should we do while we rest on the journey to Dantooine? Anything to plan or something to do?” Even as a padawan Kai had been unable to stay still for long periods of time, something that had always been a problem during meditation and a large factor in her trainers ire and eventually her Master had just gotten used to her exuberance.
 
Despite having been a true paragon of everything the Jedi stood for and preached, he was probably having the easiest time transitioning into a state of balance within himself away from the code. He was still the man he always had been, will always defend those who need it, and will always keep control of himself. But the sensation of love, for as much as it felt like it in the presence of Kai was something he felt only strengthened him, and with the collapse of order as they knew it, the use of the Force would have to be unbridled in order to defeat the Sith and the Empire. He could see that much now. They drew no limit to the evil they would do, first in finding them on Nar Shadaa, and then killing his parents just to try and eliminate two innocent Jedi. This was war, regardless of how long it took them to make it happen.

Wandering over to the pot where the food was located, Rayne-Sunn instead just took the vat, and placing their plates down, he would snap back his fork and just eat. It was a delicious meal, and he didn't want to let any of it go to waste for even one moment. And then he stopped and wondered for a second as he looked at Kai...'I didn't even know many Jedi knew how to cook...at least something this delicious." It was an amusing musing, and he grinned to himself as he just watched her hobble about on her hurt leg and try her best. She was so cute, so amazingly talented and honestly, he was happy he was meeting her outside the confines of the Temple. Everyone seemed so much more...alive without the discipline. Maybe that was how people fell to the darkside, but he knew the two of them still knew right from wrong, irrational from rational and they would not come to the same fate as Vader and the Emperor.

"The biggest thing is rest. We're stuck in the wilds once we land. Other than that...no. The ships running well, and everything is being watched by the crew." He answered honestly, feeling kind of bad that he didn't have a means to provide her with something to keep her occupied. "You could do some limited training, but my best suggestion is to take care of your injuries as much as you can. It's important."
 
She watched as Rayne-Sunn got into the pot taking it straight to the table without dishing it out onto a plate. Instead he was eating right out of the cooking pot which caused Kai to shake her head and let a small smile stretch across her face. She was oddly proud of the fact that he was enjoying the food that she had made, and his comment about most Jedi not knowing how to cook was entirely true. “Well I learned while I was on campaign, either me and Master Almrik needed to eat and didn’t want something premade at a little hole in the wall. It was also nice for the clones to be able to eat food they weren’t used to, it let them feel a little less like slaves.”

Giving a little shrug she tried to push off the compliment as those were something she wasn’t used to. Kai’s face was slightly red with a blush and she looked away at the table but couldn’t stop the smile that spread again at his compliments. As he suggested resting and healing she couldn’t help but grimace at the idea, “Ick…even during the war I never was able to just sit and heal when I was injured.” She gave a little shrug and tried to think of what she should say now. “Um, well yea I mean not that I’m not able to sit still or anything I just meant I always thought there was something more I could be doing and now that we’re fighting against the empire there’s even less time to just sit and wait.”

She bit her lip and looked over to the doorway realizing that she was rambling. “I guess I tend to talk a lot when I’m bored or nervous, at least around people that I like.” After saying that she blushed brighter again, “I mean people who I feel comfortable around. That and I haven’t been around anyone who I could talk to in a while.” Biting her lip again she chewed at it lightly, embarrassed that she’d kept babbling and that she was acting like a girl with a crush, at least what she thought a school girl with a crush might act like.
 
"It's no shame to admit you like me Kai...after the things we've done it'd be hard to step back and ignore the feelings." He replied, speaking in between mouthfuls of the remaining food, which he soon devoured leaving the pot quite empty. "I wish I could have had this kind of cooking during the war. All I had was whatever I had taken from the temple before leaving for the mission. The missions I did hardly allowed a moment to actually enjoy the food." He said, remembering back to those years of vicious combat, hidden missions, and the violence. Even away from the frontlines the violence was everywhere. Maybe the worst part was how good he was at combat, how naturally the viciousness, strategy and art had come to him. Thinking back on it, maybe he was as much an agent of destruction as the Empire during that war.

Shaking his head of the thought, he looked up towards Kai and smiled, "There's nothing much we can do to fight the Empire at the moment. We're sailing through hyperspace on the hope we'll lose them so we can find somewhere safe to hide. Once we're there...then we will have more than enough work to do to survive, and start our fight." He nodded, before standing up and placing the pot in the cleaner. It was then he turned towards her, smiled, and gently embraced her, placing a kiss on her soft lips. "For now, there is simply nothing for us to do."
 
She blushed again when he openly told her that it was alright for her to like him, and then he mentioned the things they’d done. Oddly that made her skin tingle and her body flushed again despite being tired and sore from the fighting and their earlier love making. She felt warm and happy that Rayne-Sunn was happy with her, and then he went on complimenting her cooking making the padawan blush even brighter and sink into her chair embarrassed by his praise. But despite that she noticed him sinking into a funk obviously the memories were getting to him. There had been plenty of times over the past four years where memories had snuck up on her of the things she’d done in the war and everyone had their own coping mechanism.

Waiting until he finished talking about them running and gave her a soft kiss Kai decided to say something about his eating experiences during the war to distract her own thoughts, it was what she always did just pushed the bad away, sooner or later she’d have to deal with it but not yet. “We had the food we took, but especially when we were in the field with the clone troops we tried to find something to cook…to give them a sense of normal, you know?” Thinking about it now Kai laughed bitterly at the idea, “What did we know about normal, A jedi and a padawan, a pair of people whose parents willingly gave us up to strangers because we were different?”

She reached up to touch her lips where he’d kissed her and smiled, “Though we’re not really different to most everyone else. We still care, we still feel...” Her voice trailed off and she smiled up at him and put her arms up indicating him to help her up with her leg still injured. Up until that point she’d been getting around on her own simply as a point but right now she wanted to be in his arms to feel him holding her. In his arms she felt safe, everything from her past was pushed away and the only thing that existed was that moment. She knew it wasn’t really a safe feeling to have but it was addictive and she couldn’t stop it.
 
Sometimes, where issues were of the magnitude that they had experienced, the small addictions were what kept everyone going. He took the same comfort in it, having someone who gave him purpose was the greatest ambrosia he could have ever asked for that this moment. That would be why he would crouch down and pick her up, carrying her damsel style out of the kitchen and into the more open confines of the remainder of the ship. "Maybe we don't know of normal, which is why we're so completely attached to each other. We're making up for lost time." He said with a bright smile and a wink before placing a soft kiss on her head.

It was after that though that he took on a concerned look, and still holding her, ran up towards the bridge. Naturally, he would make sure his injured lover wouldn't hit any rails or doorways on the way up, but once they got to the bridge he had to gently put her down in one of the empty chairs before looking outside. "Is that what I sense it is?" He asked. The ship had just pulled out of hyperspace quite close to Courscant, and in high orbit around the planet was a massive flottilla of ships, with one at the center that seemed to stand out among them all.

"Indeed sir. That would be Emperor Palpatine's Flagship with the armada." One of the droids pipped up from the control panel. Rayne-Sunn looked over to Kai, and all he could think of was to protect her no matter what. They had to get out of there as fast as possible. "Get the coordinates set and go, we can't linger too long, or he is going to detect us." He said to the droids. It was then the first bolt of green energy came flying towards their ship.
