Her stomach shook in not-so-silent laughter. "Here I come, to the rescue," she said, with a great flourish of her arm as she bowed to him. She leaned foreword and kissed him straight on the lips, and pulled back. "All better?" she asked him innocently.
She threw her arms around him and laughed again. Drawing back, she struggled to stop laughing. Once she was under control, she looked in his eyes. "You know, I will miss you," she said. "Will you still be here when I get back?"

"Of course," I said, smiling at her. I put my arms around her, holding her in a tight embrace for a moment, before loosening my hold. "I will miss you, too."
I pulled back, looking straight into her eyes again. "Keep in touch," I said. "And don't let yourself get hurt or killed. I don't know much about this Whale-creature, but I know it's dangerous, especially if it has control of Dane. If it controls her, then it can probably tap into her Force powers easily enough."

"Yes," she said, nodding. She shrugged slightly. "I'll do what I can, but that isn't much. If it could take over Dane, there's a chance it may be able to split its' attention and get Rev, too." She leaned against him, and was shocked to realize that she hadn't leaned on anyone's shoulder in her lifetime. It felt refreshing to feel like he was protecting her somewhat.
Resting her head on his shoulder, she closed her eyes and swayed left to right gently. "Hey," she said, her eyes still closed, "if Dane or the Whale somehow kills me, let me say this now: I never had anyone to hold on to, anyone to protect me. I didn't belong anywhere until you guys came along. Then when she asked me what it love was, I told her to slap a Bothan stunner on the man she wanted and double-check his bounty to see if he was worth anything."
She threw back her head and groaned. "Why can't we ever go to Alderaan or Ithor or someplace without metal, jagged rocks, packs of bloodthirsty beasts, or weirdo Whales trying to take over the Galaxy?"

"Sometimes I think the galaxy likes to play cruel tricks on some people," I found myself murmuring in an attempt at levity. Only after the words left my mouth, it didn't seem so funny. There were plenty of people out there who'd had it much worse than either of us.
"Mira," I said gently, resting my hand on her face, stroking her cheek, "I strongly feel that you will come back. You will survive this, and so will the others. But... just in case anything happens..."
I drew in a deep breath, then continued. "When I first met Dane again, I felt the utmost respect and admiration for her. I thought it was love. I was willing to do anything for her, and I wanted to protect her from everything. But now I realize... it wasn't love. At least, not that kind of love. It was more like how I would love... a sister, or perhaps an aunt. Someone who taught me everything, and helped me become the person I am today."
I paused, looking straight into her eyes, then continued. "But when I'm with you now... I feel something I never felt when I was with Dane. It's like... we are of one spirit. And I think this is the first time I... have ever been in love."
I stopped. And I hoped... that that had come out right. I hoped it made sense.

"Me, too," she said. She drew back from him slightly. "Since I'll probably have to co-pilot so Atton doesn't crash the ship on Dxun again," she rolled her eyes at the thought, "I'll probably have to get some sleep so I don't doze off while he's drinking his juma. That could have some dangerous aftereffects." She stuck her tongue out playfully at him.
"Want me to walk you back to your quarters in case you 'choke?'" she asked him.

I chuckled. "Yes," I said, "I would like that very much." I extended my arm, and gently took her hand in mine. Then we left her room, heading slowly toward my own. And as I looked at her, I couldn't help but think... I wanted this moment to last forever. It's like, if I could freeze this moment in time, I would.
I opened myself up to her as we walked, allowing the Force to flow between us, and I felt her respond in kind. Then, knowing that time was short, and even if we spoke again before she left we wouldn't have time to say much... I allowed the words that I couldn't bring myself to say, to flow between us. I briefly showed her things in my mind that I hadn't felt comfortable showing or telling anyone else.
And at least, we reached my quarters. I turned to Mira, and I took her into my arms once again, kissing her.

Mira smiled slightly and returned to kiss. She drew back slightly, and looked into his eyes. "Listen," she said. "We have a choice to make." She closed her eyes and sighed. "We could keep it secret, or we could make a big show of it. What do you want? Because whatever's good with me."

"Well," I said softly, "Revan knows. I didn't tell her, but she seemed to assume on her own--however, she is a very... perceptive individual."
I snorted softly in amusement. "If she knows, others might know as well. However, I think I would like to keep our relationship pretty much between us, at least until this mission is over. But after you returned..." I smiled, and winked indicatively.

Mira smiled suggestively at him, and her body language mimicked her thoughts and she moved closer to him in a seductive manner, using her left index finger to trace his jawline. "After the mission is over," she said softly, "I'll lock the door so we don't get interrupted." She grinned at him and stood up on her toes to kiss him one last time.
"I guess it's time for me to get packed," she said softly. "Time to go hunting. Promise me you'll be here when I get back. I've had too many men disappoint me in the past."

I took her hand and held it between both my hands, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I promise," I said, never looking away from her beautiful, emerald eyes. "I have never said this to anyone before. I promise I will be here when you return."
