"Good," Nait said. "I wouldn't expect anything less." He dropped his hands from Naos' shoulders. "She's going to protect you, too."
Ordo entered the room to take Mariel, and Nait decided it was time to get Scout to a real bed. Taking her limp form in his arms, she shifted slightly, clawing softly as his chest. She was shivering. "It's cold..." she muttered. She didn't even open her eyes. "Go tell Yoda the heater isn't working..."
Nait shifted her in his arms to a more comfortable position. "We'll have to get her a change of cloths, too," Nait muttered. "And wash out that god-awful hair dye."

"Vader had a strange image of what he wanted Scout to be, that's for sure. Because Cerasi was a cold hearted, bruised, and aside from what little remnants of Scout you could see on her face an ugly Sith snob." I said as Nait, Ordo, and I began to leave the Killer, with the two women in Ordo and Nait's arms "She was a robot, a slave. Thank the Force Scout is at least coming back."
I looked at Ordo as we walked down the ramp, and asked "How's Mereel?"

The landing pad at the Royal palace was at least five hundred meters in the sky, attached to the observation deck just a little ways walk from the ship. The palace was also huge and glamorous, glinting in the pale sunlight. The mountains could be seen in the distance, small peaks of purple and white. The air was pleasantly cool, and Nait remembered his old friend Bant's quarters. It was always humid in there, for she was a Mon Calamarian. But here, she would have a blast. Too bad she was dead.
He became aware of Ordo talking, and forcefully brought himself back to reality. "...pulled through. He's as good as new, thanks to your Jedi magic. He's going to stay and lock down the ship."
"Make sure he doesn't push himself," Nait warned. "I don't want him passing out. He lost enough blood already."
"He knows how to stretch his limits," Ordo said severely. "All good warriors do."
His arms were starting to hurt with carrying Scout, even though she was very light. She kept shifting in his grip, muttering things in her dreams. There was one instant when Nait almost dropped her, but they made it to the observation deck without much hassle. The droid duo, Threepio and Artoo, met them there. Even with his memory wiped, Threepio hadn't lost his worrying nature. They were informed that Bail Organa nor Breha could greet them, because Bail was holding a dinner for his colleges in the Imperial Senate.
"Let's just get to our rooms," Nait said. "We all need some sleep."

I only breifly took my eyes off Scout, to see the infamous droid duo awaiting us. My mind was going in circles. How do I tell Darrina about my feelings? How do I tell her I merely used her as a replacement? How do I tell Scout I kissed someone else? How do I admit my feelings?
"Oh, Master Nait, I do say this poor girl looks to be in terrible condition!" Threepio exclaimed, walking over
I ignored the droid and looked at Nait "Yeah, but lets drop Scout off first. And someone will have to watch her. Anyone want to volunteer?"
YOU, YOU IMBECIEL! my thoughts, and instincts shouted at me

Nait looked Naos squarely in the eye, his face expressionless. Only because oftheir deep friendship did Naos probably know he was reaching a hard decision. "I volunteer you," he said. "We'll watch her in shifts. Switch every two hours, agreed?"
Darrina shrugged. "I'm alright with that," she said. "I would prefer to stay with the Senator, anyway."
"And we have some unfinished business with a computer jack," Jaing added, nodding towards his brothers.
"Okay," Nait said, nodding. He handed Scout to Naos. "I'm going with Threepio to get us all some food. Don't leave your rooms." He could have sworn Scout's eyebrow twitched at those words, but her senses werre still calm and passive, dead weight in Naos' arms. "I'll be back later."

I nodded, and stared down at Scout. I'll protect you. You will never get hurt again as long as I'm around.....
Unless YOU hurt her.
I just sighed, and slowly walked inside, heading towards our rooms
Erin
"Wait, Jiang!" I yelled out, running up to him "Will Mereel and his face ever get better? Because...he never lived up to his part of the deal for me exposing Shao, and...his lips are just....so fine...."

Jaing stopped dead in his tracks and turned around, and Ordo thought he was doing a good job at not betraying any expression. Jaing self-consciously cleared his throat. "He's better already," Jaing said. "There is no lasting damage or scarring. He is fit to fight."
Fit to fight you, Ordo thought.

Scout shifted again in Naos' arms and slowly came back to awareness. Opening her eyes halfway, she looked Naos in the eye. "You won't hurt me," she muttered, voice cracking slightly. She twisted her head to a better position, and fell back asleep almost instantly.

"Well that was fast. I knew Shao didn't have the strength to kill him...." I said, then stomped off
Naos
My jaw dropped, and I stood still in shock "Scout?! You're awake?!"
I gulped, and then took a large chance "Do...you know who you are? Or am I dealing with Cerasi?"

"Five more minutes," Scout muttered, burying her head in her new Naos-sized pillow. "I don't care if Jaskia is bringing us to the Lower levels."
Nait was watching the exchange with a furrowed brow. "I think that's Scout," he said. "No violence that I can detect. When she does wake up, she'll be experiencing tunnel vision and dizziness. During the initial checking on the ship, it looked like she had a moderate un-treated concussion. I don't know how to heal those, but keep her in bed when she wakes up for real. Even sedate her if you have to."
"If you have to," he repeated.

Naos
No, that will just further make her into someone she's not...I can't change her personality even more....she needs to just be let free.....
I nodded "I won't have to sedate her," I assured him "And I won't. I can't opress her personality even more than it already has been....it might scare her more. I'll do my best to keep her calm, though."
With that, I walked off, not waiting for a reaction from Nait.
