AHeartlessNobody

Stand Alone(Summers and AHeartlessNobody)

As Ryan went to retrieve the young male out of the cell, she could see the frightened look on his face, much like he had on his face when she almost killed him. The lad wouldn't last. She had seen the wounds they had inflicted upon Serix, and they had at least known him a little. These were enemies and the humans clearly had anger toward these Lunairans for the deaths of their friends. That boy would not survive an interrogation. Serix knew it to, because soon it had stood between Ryan and the cell, telling Ryan to interrogate someone else. There was an argument, before Serix was grabbed and handcuffed to the bars of one of the cells.

Cassie moved quickly to him, helping to try and force the cuff open, glaring over to Ryan as he opened the cell, Conner and Monty stepping in. She took a stop to attempt to stop them as well, though froze in shock to see both Conner and Monty double over in pain, soon Ryan joining them. Before anything else could take place, the boy was dashing off and Cassie didn't know whether to stop him or check on the others. But...she didn't want to stop the boy. She hoped he would find somewhere safe. One less death today the better.

Ryan struck the girl in the head and the pain on the males stopped, Ryan stating coldly that they were interrogating her first. She had seen enough. This was going to too far and Ryan was letting his anger control him too much. She was moving forward, gripping Ryan's arm, "Wait." She looked to the cowering female, then back to Ryan, "The interrogations should be held off for now. If that boy gets out, we need to make sure the entrances to our caves are sealed and we are hidden should another fleet come. Our protection is more important than getting information and killing."

Ryan considered her words, and though he didn't seem to like it, her point was one he couldn't argue with, "Fine." He growled out, looking to the others now, "Go find that kid! Now! We can't let him get out of here! Monty, Conner, and I will go camouflage the entrances. Get to work!"

Cassie looked to the female sitting the corner as she stood in the cell next to Ryan, the male still giving off orders to the others. She felt pity for the fear filled young woman, giving her a concerned look. This wasn't right. Something had to be done. And though for now the prisoners wouldn't be harmed or killed, it wouldn't stay that way forever. She had bought them time, but now she needed to think of a more permanent solution. As Ryan walked out of the cell, Cassie gave the girl one last sad glance, before stepping out of the cell, it being closed and locked behind her.

Everyone in the caves who weren't injured or tending to the injured were put to the task of finding the boy. Cassie had Serix unhandcuffed and the two were moving through the caves. She had no intentions of harming the boy. And though she knew it wouldn't end well for her, she prepared to protect the boy from Ryan, if not help him get out of here. Yet, she couldn't find any trace of the lad. After a while of searching, she found herself looking over to Serix, a curious look on her face, "Do you suppose he found a way out before one of the others could find him?"

.......................

A Lunairan escaped. That was all Terra was told, and it frightened her. She hadn't been there to see first hand the death of little Sally, but she had seen her body as they prepared her, Wes, and Ron for burial. The Lunairan that killed her didn't hesitate despite the girl being a child. Which meant the person wouldn't hesitate to kill her either. She held a small pistol in her shaky hands as she moved through the caves, her one uncovered blue eye searching around warily. Everyone was told to kill on sight and everyone was sent out searching for the dangerous Lunairan, including her. She could fit in smaller spaces than the others, her being younger, so she took to the caves near the river. She moved through the smaller caverns and even right up to the water's edge, searching.

Nothing. Would the Lunairan be able to get through the smaller tunnels leading up to the more dangerous parts of the river? No one ever went there. The ledges were smaller and rocks more slippery. Surely even a Lunairan wouldn't risk that. Yet, as she turned, she heard something. A pebble from a foot sliding falling into the raging river of the upper currents, coming form the dangerous caverns. She supposed she was wrong. A Lunarian, if desperate enough, would go to such a life threatening place.

Her heart was pounding in her chest. Her mind reeled as she thought of what to do. Would she have time to go get the others? No, no by then this Lunairan would have left. She...she had to do this? She didn't want to! She had enough death for one day. Yet, if this Lunairan was as dangerous as the others said...what if she turned her back to leave and they attacked her?

She had no choice but to face this head on. She was trembling slightly as she carefully scaled the slippery rocks, slipping through the tight tunnels and into the upper caverns that lead into a larger cavern. One even she had never been into. The river was wide here and rushed dangerously quick, with just a few feet of space between the wall and the rushing water. As one moved up the rock got wider and less dangerous, but it was still very dangerous to just get to that part.

She moved, a hand on the wall of the cave, staying as far from the rushing water as she could manage, having to kneel at one point to crawl up a few steps.

It was as she knelt there though, that she spotted two glowing purple eyes.

Frightened hands gripped for her gun and lifted it, pointing to the Lunairan, only to pause. This...wasn't what she expected. When Ryan said a 'dangerous Lunairan' escaped, she hadn't expected someone so young, close to her own age. He was curled there and his expression matched the fearful expression on her face. They were both scared. Two unwilling participants thrown into a war they wanted nothing to do with.

Slowly, the wide eyed girl lowered the gun, though kept it in her hands just in case, staring at the boy with her one visible blue eye, and unsure and fearful look still on her face, "You're...scared?"

Stand Alone(Summers and AHeartlessNobody)

Cassie too feared what might happen now. She felt Serix take her hand and she held it tightly, worry crossing her face on top of the grief for the little girl they had just lost. Ryan slowly stood and at his words, Cassie's face went pale. All of them dead by tomorrow? He was being rash due to his anger and though Cassie wanted to speak out against such a thing...what was there she could say to convince him? These people had killed three of their own. What used to be twenty one (including she and Serix) was now eighteen. How was eighteen people supposed to defend themselves against a whole Lunairan invasion? Ryan was grieving and fearing for the lives of his people.

There had to be something they could do! She was wracking her brain out as Ryan carried his sister from the cavern and everyone filed out. All those Lunairans were going to die if they didn't think of something quickly. Everyone was gone and Cassie stood there with Serix, turning her worried gaze to his, "W-we'll think of something. I'll talk to Ryan, maybe get him to extend all this until his head is clear from all of this." Carefully she leaned up to kiss his lips, "We won't let Ryan kill them."

Taking a deep breath, she looked back toward the entrance, "We should...we should go. They'll be burying the bodies." She said, though there was a clear sadness in her tone, for both sides. Many lives were lost. There would be people without loved ones returning in these caves and on the Lunairan ship. She walked, leading Serix down to the same cavern that Ryan had taken her during her first day here. The same one where her parents were buried, as well as all the other human sympathizers and their mates. All the halfbloods that had passed over the years were buried here as well.

When she arrived, there were some working on three graves, one next to Wes and Terra's parents, another for Ron by his parents, and lastly a smaller grave beside Ryan's parents. Conner was working on Sally's grave, and slowly Cassie moved over to him, speaking quietly, "What do you plan on doing with the other bodies?"

Conner looked up, "The Lunairans? Ryan said dig a trench. We'll deal with that after this."

A trench? For the bodies of all those people? Such a thing sent sadness through her. Though they were the enemy, they had been fighting for what they believed was right. They had been lied to and manipulated by their leaders into thinking the humans had to be destroyed. Some of them might not have even willingly been in such a fight. Did they not at least deserve a proper burial and final resting place?

Silently, Cassie picked up a shovel and moving to an open area began to dig, speaking to Conner, "How many Lunairans were there?"

"Castiel, what are you doing? Ryan said--"

"How many?" Cassie said a bit more forceful, looking to Conner.

The young man sighed, shaking his head, clearly not in the mood to argue, "Seventeen."

With a nod, Cassie began to dig silently. She was sure Serix would probably help, but whether the others helped or not, she would make sure those Lunairans had a final place to rest. They dug for a while and had managed to get ten of them done before the three bodies of the humans were brought in, causing Cassie to pause. She stopped and watched on in respect as each body of the deceased humans was carried in. Their bodies were wrapped in a blanket, likely to save more grief to the loved ones. Ryan carried in his sister, the little girl wrapped in a flowered blanket (likely the one she would sleep in). Ryan climbed down into the hole and there the others lowered her gently into Ryan's arms, where he so gingerly layed her down. There was a long moment that Ryan spend, sitting next his sister's body there, before the others helped him back out of the hole. Much the same Ron was lowered into his grave, as well as Wes. The teenager Terra stood next to her brother's grave sobbing, rubbing her arms and shaking her head.

Carefully, Cassie set the shovel she was holding down and made her way over to the girl. At first, Cassie merely placed a hand on Terra's shoulder in a small means of comfort. However, she hadn't expected the girl's reaction. The girl turned and clung to Cassie, sobbing into her shirt, obviously seeking comfort from whoever could give to her. A sad look in her eyes, Cassie wrapped her arms around the girl and pulled her close, letting her cry as the grave was filled in. And even after all the graves were filled, the grieving people stayed, not willing to leave their loved ones as of yet.

Slowly, after a long while, the people began to move, likely to gather the bodies of the Lunairans. Ryan clearly wasn't happy to see the graves Cassie and Serix had been working on, but still too distraught over his sister to argue at this point, silently letting it go for now. Cassie let go of the girl when she was ready to be let go, and then went back to digging. They still needed seven more graves. However, what she hadn't been expecting, was the silent teenage girl, tears still streaking her cheeks from grief for her brother, to pick up a shovel and begin digging as well, working on a grave for the Lunairans. It really said something about the girl's character, that though her brother had been killed through this battle with the Lunairans, she still had the humanity to help in such a task as being sure the enemy had a proper burial just as their own.

Seeing the girl working on a grave, it wasn't long before others joined in, digging the remaining graves as well. Soon, the bodies of the fallen Lunairans were brought in and lowered into the graves. No one really stayed for these afterward though. There was no one who knew these people to mourn them. Despite this, Cassie stood next to Serix for a moment, looking at all the graves. All the people who would not return home, both Lunairan and human. Carefully she turned to Serix and placed her hands on his cheek, resting her forehead against his. Opening another link, she sent emotions to him as well as let his emotions flow to her. Sadness over the dead, worry and fear over what might happen next, relief that neither of them were in one of these holes. And of course, above all her love for him, hoping to comfort him with some good emotions at least.

Finally pulling back, she let out a breath and looked to him, "Come. They're going to start the interrogations soon and I need to speak to Ryan." With that, she was moving quickly through the caves, exhausted from both the battle and the digging, yet was determined to find Ryan before he went to question the Lunairans. She found him, making his way back down to the hold, and managed to catch up to him, gently gripping his arm, "Ryan, we need to talk."

Ryan looked to Cassie, and apparently he already knew what she was going to say, because he spoke quickly, shaking his head, "No. We are not keeping those aliens alive."

"Ryan, there's been enough death for one day, don't you think? Do you really want more people to--"

"They killed Sally, Cassie!" he said angrily, stopping and turning to her, "Killed an innocent little girl who didn't even know how to hold a gun! Those things down there aren't people! They're monsters!" He calmed his voice a bit, though there was a growl behind it, words still laced with anger, "And they'll die for it. I can't let them live, not even for you."

With that, before Cassie could even say anything else, he was walking quickly back to the hold. Cassie looked to Serix worriedly and followed behind, walking into the hold just as Ryan ordered Conner and Quincy to get the first Lunairan out to interrogate, the young solider in the far cell.

Stand Alone(Summers and AHeartlessNobody)

It was all so fast paced. A battle for their lives. It brought back memories of her time with her Uncle. Shooting other humans, fighting to stay alive. She didn't have much to live for back then. But now, she did. She had Serix. And everyone in the caves. This was her family now, and she was going to protect it with her life. She wasn't as skilled as Serix was, but the two had trained together and she was skilled enough. Her eyes observed the enemy, just as he had taught her to do, and took aim. Another Lunarian down. She knelt behind the barricades to load her gun again, when suddenly she was tackled, causing a scream to shock to escape her. The Lunarians had abandoned their own barricades in a last attempt to fight the humans (or what the Lunarians thought were humans) on closer grounds.

She struggled under the person, managing to give them a kick to get them off of her and then the two were scrambling. She managed to snatch up her gun from where it had fallen to the ground in the struggle and pin the boy, gun to his head. Yet, she paused. Cassie got a better look at the person that had attacked her as she in turn pinned him down. A lad, perhaps a few years younger than herself. And the look on his face, was fear. And Cassie.....couldn't kill him. But she couldn't let him get up either, otherwise that might be the end of her own life. In a last minute decisions that was made in just a few seconds of having him pinned, she flipped her gun in her hand and brought it up, hitting the side of his head with the butt of the pistol.

He was out cold then and Cassie got off of him, catching her breath as she glanced around. Things had...calmed. A little anyway. There was some struggling on the Lunairans, those that were awake, though if they were awake, they were already bound, unable to escape. All others were either dead or out cold. She herself took a moment to bind the hands of the lad she had taken down, before she stood with a shaky breath to inspect the losses. Many Lunarians lay, dead on the ground on both sides.

On the humans side of the barricade, two casualties from what Cassie could see. The man she knew as Ron, someone she remembered never looking kindly to she and Serix, lay dead with what looked to be a broken neck, having died in what appeared to be hand to hand with the dead Lunarian that lay close by, shot by an injured Monty, Monty currently laying next to Ron's body, Ray attempting to bind his wound. She looked to the other casualty. Wes. He was again another man that she hadn't seen much of, but had always notice his closeness with his sister, always by her side and taking care of her. He lay there, Terra sobbing with her face buried against his shoulder.

The others left her, letting her mourn. They all knew loss, what it felt like to lose family. They let her have this last moment with him before they would go to bury the dead.

By now, the humans were taking the Lunairan survivors to the hold and Cassie's eyes were searching for Serix when Sarah spoke, hand on her shoulder,"Your arm is bleeding. You should see Ray."

Cassie was a little surprised at such a comment, looking down to her arm. Sara reached out to inspect the wound, but Cassie pulled her arm back, hissing in pain. She hadn't noticed it before, numb to her own pain with so much pain and death around her. She must have cut her arm on the rocks when the Lunairan lad tackled her. Taking her her over shirt off (she had a tank top on underneath), she wrapped it around her wound to help with the small amount of bleeding, shaking her head, "I'm fine. Ray needs to take care of the others that are worse off. This is just a small cut." With that, her eyes finally spotted Serix and she moved quickly to him.

Approaching him...he didn't look so good. Yes, he was a little scuffed up from fighting, but more worrisome was the look in his eyes. He had just fought and killed some of his own people. People he may or may have not known. Maybe even friends. She knew this wasn't easy for him, and a large part of Cassie felt guilty. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be in this mess, feeling this way. Her steps slowed a bit and finally she reached him, seeing a Lunarian female, bound and unconscious next to where he stood. So, he had taken a prisoner as well.

Carefully, Cassie reached out, taking Serix's hand, looking up to him. Opening a link, she let calm and love flow from her to him, hoping to make him feel better, as well as relief that he was safe and unharmed. It could have very well been one of them that died today, yet fate had been kind to them. Finally stepping to him, she wrapped her arms around him, breathing in shaky relief.

Her moment of comforting him was over though when one of the other humans moved to take up the female Lunairan. She was the last one to take to the hold and Cassie glanced to Serix, opening another link, so that the other humans didn't hear. They needed to go to the hold, and make sure the humans didn't kill the survivors. She....wasn't quite sure what they should do with the invaders yet, but killing them isn't something Cassie didn't want to be an option. Looking to Serix with purpose, she then turned and the two were making their way to the hold.

Altogether, Cassie saw about nine or ten Lunairans in the hold. Many of them had started to wake up by now, and though their binds were cut, the cells kept them from attacking the humans before them. She turned her gaze to Ryan, who stood speaking to Conner, her gaze hesitant, "What are you planning to do with them?"

Ryan looked over to Cassie, though kept his gaze even, especially in front of the enemy, "Get information. After that, we'll see how I feel."

In other words, the death of these aliens was likely a high option. Cassie opened her mouth to speak to him again, when a heart sinking sound cut her off, making all the humans in the room freeze in horror. It was the scream of a little girl, one that made Ryan's eyes widen in fear and Cassie to turn her head to the tunnel the sound came from in fright.

Sally.

Suddenly everyone was moving, dashing through the tunnels, getting to where the sound had come from, toward the tunnel both Sally and Charlie had been hidden in during the battle. And then they got there, it was a heart wrenching sight. Little Sally lay on the cave floor, sobbing and clutching her stomach as blood began to escape. Charlie was in a scuffle, having jumped on the Lunairan's back to defend his friend, the Lunairan trying to get the little boy off, throwing him to side finally, the boy hitting the ground hard with a yell of pain before going unconscious. The alien pulled out a blaster and took aim at the little boy. Ryan pulled out his own pistol, aiming and shooting. The Lunairan fell to the floor in pain, clutching his shoulder and unable to grasp his weapon, as Ryan quickly made his way over to his sister. The humans surrounded the sobbing girl, Ryan gathering her up in his grasp, trying hard to stop the bleeding, "Sally.....Sally stay with me."

The girl let out a small scream of pain as her brother pressed against the stab wound to try and stop the bleeding, her small hands clutching at his, "It hurts....it hurts..." She was crying out, Ryan in panic trying to keep his sister alive. Yet, within moments, life began to fade from the little girl's eyes, and with one last breath of air passing from her lips, her body stilled, hands over Ryan's going limp. Ryan was trembling and tense, pulling the dead girl's body close to his. The room was silent aside from the injured Lunairan's struggles, which didn't even stay that way for long, a numb and angered Ryan grasping his gun and without even a glance in the alien's direction, pointed and shot, the sounds of struggles silencing with a soft thud of the body falling to the cave floor.

The Little Prince Inspired RP

"You are nothing like my rose. You are beautiful, but you are empty," He went on, "One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you--the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars; because it is she that I have listened to.

Because she is my rose."

The planet the little prince once lived upon was beautiful. But, it was lonely. He spent his days, walking around his small planet and pulling up weeds called baobabs. If left unchecked, these dangerous plants could grow into giant trees whose roots would grow under the surface and overtake the planet, destroying it. When not pulling up the baobab plants, he spent his time looking out upon the stars. Looking at all the twinkling stars, he found himself seeing how many of them and realizing how lonely he was.

It was then that the rose grew. Such a simple rose it was, starting as a little sprout and growing into something magnificent. The little prince adored the bright red petals and how the rose made his dull planet beautiful again. It was unlike anything he had ever seen before and he would spend hours upon hours talking to, nurturing. Giving it water, making sure it got sunlight, and keeping insects and other beasts from eating it.

Though the flower gave him company and he was able to talk to it, he was saddened that the rose was not able to speak back. He found himself wishing upon each star in the sky to give his rose a voice, so that it may speak. And finally, a star granted his wish, for one morning the little prince awoke to find a small girl in the place of his rose. Upon further inspection though, he found that this girl had not replaced his rose. This girl was his rose, rooted in place merely by a small vine of thorns at her ankle.

The boy continued to care for the rose being that she could not move from her spot, bringing her food and water, protecting her from beasts that dared attack. In return, the rose kept the little boy company, talking with him, dreaming of the world outside of their small planet. They shared a childlike wonder in everything they saw, and more so in what they could not see. The prince loved his rose, just as his rose loved him. Yet, the more they dreamed of the outside world together, the more the two began to realize they wanted to see what they dreamed.

They were afraid though. The rose was connected to the planet by her thorny vine, drawing her life from the planet itself. What should happen if the vine was cut, neither knew. Yet, the rose watched the little prince stare longingly to the stars and came to a decision. She told the prince to go, that they should not be both kept prisoner on the planet. That, should he be happy and see the wonders of the universe, then she would be happy as well.

Before he left, the boy built a glass room for his rose as simple means of protection to last just long enough for him to make his return. Then, he left his planet, exploring what the universe had to offer.

Sadly, the universe was nothing like the boy and his rose had dreamed. He came across different planets with different people, all vain and brutal. But, he could not go back to his rose without some tale of what they dreamed, so he continued on, going further and further from his home planet, in search of the wonders the two had dreamed of.

It was far, far away that the boy crash landed on a planet known as Earth. Here, he was taken in by beings that called themselves 'humans'. They looked like him, but he found they were just as cruel and unhappy as all the other beings he had seen in the universe. He found himself looking for ways to repair his ship, yet found it impossible. He was too far away from home and this Earth did not have the supplies he needed to return back to his rose.

Forced to stay on Earth, he searched for wonders, something that would ease his troubled mind. It was then he came upon a large rose garden and was disappointed. For he thought his rose was the only of her kind, not a common flower. With this in mind, the little prince left the garden. With the knowledge of his common flower and no way of returning home to her, he stayed on Earth. All the magic gone.

And there he stayed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully this little introduction has caught someone's attention XD I'm looking for someone to play the little prince.
The story of this rp would revolve around the rose, waiting and waiting for the return of the prince. Yet, years pass and when the prince doesn't return and with each day she grows fearful something might have happened to him. She finds herself asking the stars, begging them to find him and tell her where he is. It is then that they tell her he is on Earth. When they tell her how far away it is, she fears he might have gotten stuck or lost there, and gathering her courage, she cuts her vine and leaving her glass shelter, asks the stars for one last favor, to take her to this Earth.

There, she finds the prince, who has forgotten all about his planet and his rose, thinking himself to be just a normal human. From there, multiple things could happen revolving around her attempting to get him to remember, as well as him coming to realize that she is not just another 'common flower' because he loves her. I also have some other ideas as well but I'll save those for the rp lol.

If you are interested, please pm me so we can discuss the rp.

As a side note, here's some fan art I found for the rp XD

"You know--my flower...I am responsible for her. And she is so weak! She is so naïve! She has four thorns, of no use at all, to protect herself against all the world..."

@Renny
Not quite sure. Something where Luke can feel the darkness from Ben. Maybe a practice lightsaber dual? Or something that gets Ben angry?

Star Wars: A New Force

@renny
If you could? XD Figured it'd be best since Luke would be more so reaching into Ben's emotional status through the Force. Should I go ahead and post or would you want to edit Luke in first?

Odette felt so content as she sat there in his grasp, feeling his face against her shoulder and his words sent her heart soaring. She loved hearing those words from him. To her, there was nothing better in the world than this. Yet, of course his embarrassment and other emotions took over and soon she was pulled from his grasp, though this was something she expected and laughed softly at, as this happened quite often when he had to share his emotions in such a way, "Well, Ben. It wouldn't be the first time you've done something like that. Though, perhaps it was a good thing you didn't do so this time, as normally when you do we're by ourselves on a ship for our missions, rather than here where someone might catch us." Still though, she leaned over to press another kiss to his lips before she turned and started making her way back up the path toward their home, "Come on now. Best not be late for our training with Master Luke."

She walked along side him, return back to their small little Jedi village, where young padawans ran about, playing games and such being that they had some free time. Odette happily greeted those that they passed with kind words and the occasional hug. Many of the padawans chatted excitedly with her about accomplishments in their own training, as well as discoveries they made in their own explorations in the Force. Finally though, they made it to where Master Luke awaited for their solo session.

Odette smiled brightly, as they approached. For the most part, their robes had dried. Perhaps a little damp, but not nearly as noticeable as it normally where when they were out cutting up at the lake, so she hoped it wouldn't be nearly as noticeable to Master Luke as well, "Hello, Master Luke." She gave a small bow of her head in respect to the older man and looked back to him, "What would you have us do for today's session?"

When Odette was suddenly splashed with the water by Ben's use of the Force, she could do nothing but laugh, a bright smile on her face. Just being alone with Ben made her so upbeat and giddy that nothing could honestly bring her down. She walked out of the water and over to him, smiling as she wrapped her arms around him despite it getting him wet too, "Oh come now, Ben. The sun will dry us both before we leave the lake. Besides," She smiled, standing on her tiptoes to kiss his lips, staying close to him as she did, allowing her light to wrap around him just as her arms did, attempting to wash away any ill feelings, "You know you love goofing off here. It makes us feel...normal." Not a Jedi, or a Force User, just...them. Just Ben and Odette.

She stayed close to him, letting out a soft sigh of contentment as she rested her forehead against the front of his shoulder, breathing in his presence, "Have I ever told you how much I love you Ben? Because if I have, then I could never tell you enough." She joked softly, looking up to him, their faces inches apart and her voice soft as she spoke all of this, a grin on her lips, "You know, you should be ashamed. Jedi aren't supposed to steal, and yet here you are, stealing my heart and sweeping me off of my feet every moment that we're alone."

As she said this, her lips brushed softly against his with every word. She just couldn't seem to imagine her life any differently than this. Than being with him, so close. When they were like this, it was almost as if they were one being in the Force, rather than two separate. Her light encircling him, while his presence dwelled in hers.Their presence melded together and it left her feeling at peace. As though when they were separated she were truly whole. Yet, with him, it was as though a missing piece had rejoined her to finally make her one being.

"Tell me you love me." Odette requested softly, her lips brushing ever so gently against his, smiling softly up at him as she did. She loved hearing him say those words, though she didn't ask of such a thing often, knowing how difficult it was for him to speak about his feelings. Yet, she wanted to hear it now. While they were alone and it was just the two of them. With the last part of their mission in finding the last piece of the map, there was no telling when the next time they could say such a thing to each other might be. And though she wouldn't force him if he didn't feel like saying it, she still would hope that he might say it, as the beautiful bass of his voice saying those words always left her feeling aglow and more joyful than ever. Words just for her ears, straight from his heart to hers. And she wouldn't have it any other way.

Lol, I had gone to bed by the time you posted back. I'm working on a reply now. Hope your trip is going well :)
