The Old Republic

[Lucius Krow]

Krow didn't wasn't going to say anything until he knew Aaray wold be done speaking. She had a lot to say apparently, and he didn't mind at all. He could feel that she was lightly clutching his hand, and rubbing the back of his hand. He smiled, and continued to listen. He begin to laugh slightly when she objected to becoming a Jedi. He could agree with her in terms of becoming a Jedi or a Sith. But he wanted her to become a Arna. Which is the balance of both, and that is what he didn't explain to her.

"My my our passionent about becoming a Jedi huh?" He said with a slight chuckle. "Well I don't want you to become a Jedi nor Sith. I want you to become an Arna. The are the balance of light and dark. Not selfish nor considerate. We believe that with both sides of the force we can live in harmony." He said hopng that the idea of living in both fields would be better than one. "Which is why I know force lightning. It is traditionally a sith power, but can be used by jedi. Though is it looked down on by most jedi." He said and then took his hands away from her.

"By the way I know about your mandalorian armor, and trust me I am very careful. I am sad to say this, but I was there in the war of the Mandalorian. A very formidable foe." I didn't fight them I was a observer." He said wiith a slight hent os apethy in his voice. "Aaray. I do hope you consider leaving you bounty hunter ways, and join me in the force. You have the potential to become a great master of the force, and I also feel close to you, and wouldn't want to see you die fighting someone of the force." He said and then sighed slightly.

He didn't want to say what he really felt it was hard for him to do so, but he could always think it, and she could hear it. You are a very attractive woman, and I feel connected to you in more ways than one. The fact that you can hear my thoughts means we could form a companionship, and do limitless things to change this war prone galaxy. He thought, and then made the room return to normal. "I will also teach you everything I know." He said smiling, and then laughing slightly.

[Aaray]

Aaray listened as Krow explained that the Arna were followers of both the light and dark ways, managing to create harmony that way. She did like the idea of becoming a follower of both rather than just Jedi or Sith. She then understood that that was how Krow knew how to make lightening.

When Krow removed his hands from hers, Aaray put her gloves back on. As she slide her hands into each glove and then secured the gloves to the sleeves of her flight suit, Aaray listened as Krow told her he had been there during one of the Mandalorians wars. She gave him a sharp look, but softened it when he said he was just an observer. Aaray smiled when he commented on how the Mandalorians were such formidable opponents.

Aaray looked down when Krow asked her to seriously consider leaving her current profession and join him. She didn't dislike being a bounty hunter...it was good money and it was what she had been doing her whole late teen and adult life. She laughed slightly and gave Krow as small nudge when he said he didn't want to see her die fighting a force-user, "Oh, who said i was going to die doing that." She wasn't trying to make light of his worry, but just to help quell it. This was one of the reasons Aaray was a bit nervous getting close to Krow for...she didn't want him to worry about her all the time.

Aaray gave a weak smile when Krow told her she was very attractive. This was the second time he had told her so since she had met him. She believed that he meant it, but she couldn't quite say it about herself. She was silent as he explained to her in her mind that they could both change the galaxy. After he finshed, Aaray sighed and turned slightly so that she faced him, realizing then that the room was back to normal. "I will think about it, i promise...but in the meantime, i don't want you to worry about me, i have been a bounty hunter for a long time, i know what i am doing." She smiled slightly at him, studying his features.

[Lucius Krow]

Krow sighed. "I apologize I didn't mean it that way." He said frowning a bit. He was slightly tired, and he just wanted to spend time with Aaray now. "You don't me to worry about you, but you like the feeling of knowing someone is thinking about you. Even if they are worried." He said playfully. He watched as she turned and looked at him. He looked down at har staring into her eys. He watched her reaction as he said she was beautiful.

"You don't have confidence in your looks?" He asked, and went silent for only a short amount of time. "Thank you. You will see that having the force is better than being a bounty hunter." He said with a smirk on his face. He wasn't besmirching her proffesion, but he didn't like it that much so yea he would think that being a bounty hunter is lesser than being a force ser. "You will be careful, and I know I shouldn't worry, but it is who I am when I care for someone with a potentialy dangerous profession." He said with the look of care in his eyes, and face.

"I knoe you have some things to think about before you make any decisions. I just want you to know that I will be there no matter what. When ever you need me. You can contact me through the force. Just have to concentrate." He said, and then smiled at her. Krow would rather have her as a friend then nothing at all. In any cade she was a good friend to him, and was fun to be around, and that makes it all the better.

[Aaray]

"Oh, i know you didn't mean any harm." Aaray said in response to Krow's apology. She laughed when Krow said that she enjoyed the feeling of someone thinking about her, "Well, it is a good feeling i'll admit, but when you have a psycho father like i do, its weird. I miss one transmission and he freaks out. Dad goes for his blaster and fetches his new neighbor friend and they set up a base camp in the middle of the living room." Aaray rolled her eyes slightly.

Aaray winced a bit when Krow asked if she lacked confidence in her looks, she was hoping he wouldn't have noticed her reaction. "Erm...no, not really...to be honest, i have never thought of myself as...pretty i guess..." Aaray's lack of self-esteem in her appearance had always been a problem for her.

Aaray gave a small smile and blush when Krow said that he worries about people he cares about, especially when their job is a potentially dangerous one. No one had really told her that they cared for her at all, well, besides her family. Aaray was too shy to look at Krow, but she replied softly, "I care about you too..." Aaray felt her cheeks grow red from blushing, she hoped that the light was too dim for Krow to notice though.

Aaray appreciated that she would be able to contact Krow more often now that they could hear eachother's thoughts. She would need to be careful around other force users though, particularly if that previous Sith employer contacts her again. Aaray liked Krow, she liked him alot, however she couldn't allow herself to get too close to him yet, not until somethings were straightened out. Hopefully they would be taken care of soon so that she could allow her relationship with Krow to go further. Slowly she reached out with her right hand and took his hand again, she liked the feel of holding his hand. It was comforting and reassuring to her. Hopefully one day we can get closer than just hand-holding and a hug... she told him through her thoughts.

[Lucius Krow]

(I think its time to end the thread, and start a new one.)

Krow laughed swhen he heard Aaray speak of her father. Stating that he was a spaz if she had missed one transmission from him. "Your father worries.about you as well. Thats good to know." He said and then he could feel her hand coxing his again. He enjoyed the feeling of being able to hold her hand. "You should boost your self esteem. Not to the point where you are conceited. Just to the point where you are okay with your looks." He said and then he put his left arm around her waist.

Krow smiled as he listened to Aaray say that she cared about him too. She didn't look at him, and that gave him the impression that she was shy. Removing his left arm, and putting it on her chin. He lightly tryed to make her look at him. "You are a shy one as well." He said with a smile on his face. "We should give you a complete one-eighty. Shyness low self-esteem. All the qualities that make you seem uninteresting will be gone. Though I find you interesting either way." He said and hoped that she wouldn't take offence.

Yes hopefully we can get close than just holding hands. I would like that. He thought and the continued to hold her in the silence. He didn't want the moment to end, but he knew he would have to leave soon. So he just continued to hold her, and smile. He hadn't realy cared for someone like the way he cares for Aaray. He could feel the connection between them both, and it was strong enough for him to want to wait for her. Even if it ment waitng for the world to end to be with her.

"It is time for me to go. I have more troops to gather." he said and then got up slowly. Holding on to Aaray so that she didn't fall backwards in her inclined state. He didn't want to leave but he had to gather more troops, and too another planet he would do so. He would likely go to byss but he wasn't sure yet. He just knew he needed to gathher more troops "Good bye friend." He said as he left the hut and headed for his ship.

(Exit planet to space.)

[Aaray]

Aaray enjoyed being held by Krow, she had never felt so safe. She knew it had to be getting dark outside, and that meant it was getting late. She would need to head off soon, but she didn't want to.

Luckily Krow made the first move, stating it was time for him to leave Dantooine, to gather more troops for the Arna. Aaray got up after him, bending over to get her helmet. Aaray followed Krow out of the hut, putting on her helmet just as she got outside. She heard Krow say good bye to her, and replied, "Until we meet again." Her voice once again robotic.

Aaray then headed back through the village, thankful that many of the residents were already inside for then night. Only a few remained outside, but they were close to their homes. Aaray left the village through the front gate and made her way to her speeder, which was thankfully untouched. Once on her speeder, Aaray sped back to her ship, which was parked past the house of the employer she had originally come to Dantooine to report to. Soon she was back in the safety of the Vassago. She started the ship and was soon through the atmosphere of Dantooine and out in space.
