Personal Entry- Revelations Galore

Gods, it was good to see Scarlet up and about, so much energy…It was time I took her hunting, go train my way…Side by side…

We traveled to Tantooine, to the Squill cave. My proximity radar showed a few other hunters scouring the caves, but not too many in that we would not have creatures to fight. I called Envy to help us in our fight: my two Firecats, fight together with me looking over them.

*pride*

She arched her back in a cat like stretch and nodded to me, indicating she was ready. We stepped into the cave entrance and we soon surrounded by Squills, angry that we had invaded our space. Elsewhere in the cave you could hear the clank of a pike, the screech of a dying Squill, and a poor soul yelling for another pair of vibroknuckers. Seems they broke theirs against a rock wall.

Gods how we shredded through the Squill; my Firecats ripping them to shreds, my pistol shots knocking them down and burning their flesh. We explored freely in the cave, coming across the rare traveler. Odd, we turned a corner and toward us, came a SSS soldier. I recognized him by that insignia on his shoulder. I could sense Scarlet tell Deomo that one of his mates was here with us. Then she told me, he was here as well. How odd…

We continued to hunt and I was hit with distress across the bond. Scarlet said that Deomo had cracked his helmet fighting and needed a new one. We turned a corner and he was there. I stood back giving them their space. Scarlet handed Deomo her spare helmet. We soon continued to fight, and get Scarlet experience with her Terra Kais skills. I stood back and lobbed grenades over her head, dropping them on her target.

“No, let her do it by herself, she needs the practice.”

What?!?!?! Who the kark does he think he is intruding on my time with her, telling me how I should train her? I have always, ALWAYS, given them a wide berth when they were together, even at times, leaving the planet. I told Scarlet I would leave, I even turned away to hike out of the cave. She stopped me and said this was my time with her. This was too much…

“Max, I am sorry. She is with you, I apologize for intruding, train her as you see fit.”

*shock*

Gods, the man, err Zabrak I once order assassins to take out…apologizing to me? The Zabrak with whom I could not stand to be in the same room with…apologizing to me? I was at a loss for words. Scarlet and I talked a bit as I am sure my face reflected my confusion. We hunted a bit more as my warning timer went off. It was time for us to leave, our medical enhancements would soon expire.

We ran for the cave entrance, trailing tons of Squill after us. I told Scarlet to jog out, to only run on my command. She got a bit outnumbered, and I could not catch up to her to engage her tormenters or heal her. I panicked a bit. Then, starlight…We were out. Luckily the majority of the Squill focused on me as Scarlet put a bit more distance between herself and the cave. She dispatched one last Squill as I focused on those around me. I ran to her once I was done and stood by her on the mesa top. I quickly dispatched my cambot and took a picture of us, framed by the stars, awash with the moonlight, Envy at our feet.

*love, pride*

We drove all the way to Mos Eisley, enjoying the nightsky, canvassed by the multitude of stars. I arrived at the starport only to notice Scarlet was not there. I checked my proximity monitor and drove to her location, a gravesite, outside the city. War…death…so sad…All of the unfound hatred causing the likes of Kimbrya to be taken, prematurely. I wish it were not so. Scarlet meditated and I knelt to honor the fallen: soldiers, families, innocents…

Arriving back at the starport, we boarded her Sorosub for Theed. We both had business there. Scarlet needed to speak with Elca, and I with Honney about some furniture. Honney whispered to me, “Does she show you the affection you deserve?”

*shock*

What….why did Honney care so? She has a husband, she knows my feelings for Scarlet. She apologized for intruding; quickly realizing she had stepped into something she should not have.

Good, Elca had agreed to watch the temple. Honney mentioned that she may open a mall. Perhaps I will offer my experience to her. I felt discomfort from Sacrlet. We quickly went to a shuttleport and headed for Hendola. I got her inside and she winced in pain. Gods Taishan what is wrong? I closed my eyes and reached for the bond, anything to try to determine what is wrong with her. Kark!!! The child!! I reached for the energy, her child, maybe…our child. I opened my arms to it offering myself to her. I felt comfort and a warmth emanate from it. The energy relaxed, Scarlet relaxed. The pains are the child, and by some means with the bond, I can comfort the two of them. Deomo must know, he must know of this.

She laid in my arms, purring, content. My arms cradling my Taishan…My mind’s arms cradling what I hope is our child, our baby girl. Two loves being held close, I will never let go…
