<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> While the others gathered around and played sabacc, Dravin had slipped into a peaceful meditation. He awoke just as Rusty jumped up and grabbed Han's collar. Dravin glanced over at the group, but decided to leave them alone. He didn't want to be 'scolded' again by his master.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

To say Cairo was surprise by Rusty's actions would be an understatement...not just the collar-grabbing, but the gazeing at her that had come before.

Tec opened himself to the Force and broke Rusty away from Han. "Rusty, leave the guy alone for heaven's sake! He just asked you a simple question, and as we all know, he wouldn't be working on anything that would mess up the ship if not right, or anything Cairo fixed a while back."

Tossing Rusty with the Force back to his seat, Tec stood up and said, "And if that's all that gonna happen in here, some stupid fighting, though it may be important to you and Cairo, Rusty, then I'll just take us on a quick detour and drop myself off, or go into the engine rooms and do my own mechanic work, so maybe we could get to Curscant faster?"

Then he let go of the Force completely and looked at Rusty. "Besides, loosing your temper is not something you should do in public!"

"C'mon Rusty, you know i wouldn't hurt the old gal...i know you lover just as much as you love Cairo."


*Han caught an annoyed look from Rusty's face that meant that he proablby hadn't told her yet.*

"eh.....Nevermind."

* Han shut up, and said no more about the subject.*

Cairo had kinda been trying to look inconspicuous while Tec was getting on Rusty's case, and had pretended to be kicking at the floor with the toe of her boot...but when she heard that from Han...

Cairo lifted her head quickly, her cheeks an immediate deep crimson, her blue-green eyes were slightly widen in disbelief...she looked at Rusty and saw the look he gave Han, and then smiled brightly. He <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> does<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> like me!

Tec heard what Han had said as he stood between the cockpit and the lounge, and grinned at Cairo and said to her, I told you so! Then he smiled at something he thought of and moved to the cockpit quickly.

ooc: Sorry it's so short, but oh well....And Cairo, I'll have that char. I was talking to you about at TSS by the end of the weekend. If I have him there tomorrow, could I join him into TSS's first group rp in his own way?

<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Things had died down:

Tec and Jerusha were in the cockpit, doing Force only knows (:lol )...Han and Dravin were in the lounge being bored, and either bickering or meditating...and Rusty and Cairo had slipped out of the lounge and ventured around the corner, down the hallway. <!--EZCODE BOLD END-->

"Rusty, what was all that earlier, back in the lounge with Han? I mean...is it true?"

By the redness in his cheeks, she could tell it was, but she was going to have fun with this:
"Well.... if it was true...well, I'd have to say that...the feeling is mutual."
Cairo smiled at Rusty and leaned up, kissing his cheek.
"And I'd also have to say that your very sweet."

ooc: Uh, in case you didn't notice, Jerusha was in the lounge resting, staying away from me, probably cause she's mad at me....oh well, so we couldn't both be in the cockpit. And, neither of us are that way, which I think you understand the meaning of.

Ooc: Didnt mean to offend. Sowwy.

ooc: Nah, I'm not offended. *smiles* Sides, it's hard to actually offend me.
