=i keep crying=

...

=syaa comes out fot he kitchen with a large batch of scrambled eggs with ham in it=

syaaanyone want some?

(Dormii)
=i keep her in a hug=
You're okay, you're okay...

=She shakes her head=

No...

=She sighs. Taking a salad=
=She heads off to a table away from everyone=

Hmm...

=She begins eating slowly=

=i try to calm down=

i wish *sniff* i could understand...

(Dormii)
=i nod=
We all do. The best we can do is try.

=He enters the messhall=
=Looking around he sees Dormii consoling Talfie. He sees other civilians. He sees Sarah off in the corner alone=
=He walks over to her table=

Dante-Hey

=She looks up=

Sarah=Hi..Dante..

=He sits down next to her=

Dante-That kiss...

Sarah-What was it...

...

=i pull away=

*sniff* thanks dormii...

(Dormii)
=i keep one arm around her=
Anytime. You got something you want to talk about, I'm here.

=i rub her arm=
Better?

=He sighs=

Dante-Listen..You are my student..I cannot..

=She nods=

Sarah-I understand...

Dante-I promised Talfie. That I would not interfere between you two

Sarah-Okay... But...Im not sure...If....

=He puts his hand on her back=

Dante-Training. One on One.

Sarah(nods)-Okay, Dante.

=She smiles and he smiles back=

a little...

=i stand up=

(Dormii)
=i nod=
Like I said, you ever need a person to talk to. I'm here.

=i smile and see Sarah=
Except for right now. Now, I gotta go give Sarah her birthday gift.

=i get and grab the creation I made. i give Talfie another hug and go over to Sarah and Draco=
Hey, got time for your gift?

=She nods to Dormii=

Yeah.

=She begins playing with the necklace=

=He looks over at Talfie through his sunglasses=

I have caused something terrible

= i twirl my umbrella, trying to clear my mind of stress=

*sigh*...

(Dormii)
=i bring up my creation. It's the size of a small phone. It has two camera's on it, one for projecting, one for recording, as well as a microphone. the touchscreen active, but doesn't display anything=

Ta-da! It's a projector/recorder. This is what I meant by keeping those close to you, close to you at all times. It records video as well as audio, and, the resolution is good enough that it looks like real life. Just point it at a wall, and you can play back your recording.

=She giggles and smiles=

Thank you Dormii!

=She stands and hugs him=

=He looks at the device=

That is very nice.

=After a long conversation, joking, etc=

Xaz- So, what are you going to do now, kid?

Kid- Well. I would go back to bounty hunting. But... I kinda have nobody to train me anymore....

Xaz- Well, i am a soldier, and an ex-bounty hunter. I could train you.

Kid- Really!? Thatd be great!

Xaz- Do you have any expeiracne in Melee weapons?

Kid- Nope... Just my DMR and a pistol is all...

Xaz- Well, we should work on that. Come on.

=He gets up. He and the kid head out of the messhall to the training room=

(Dormii)
=i hug her back=
You're welcome. I figured we can start using it right now.

=i pull away and take the device. I point it at Draco and set it to record=
Say something memorable. I'm not sure I put editing features in here yet.

=i sit back down, my sadness slowly returning=

keep a hold of yourself...

=He smiles=

Putting me on the spot.

=He thinks for a moment=

In this world.
Never forget who you are.
Who you were.
Set the stones for your future.

=She listens. Hanging on to his words=
=She turns her head to see Talfie=
=She goes over to her. Going behind her and hugging her=

Hey. Talfie.

=i tear up again=

h-h-hey s-sarah...

(Dormii)
=i nod and cut the recording=
Let's see how this works.

=i go over to a wall and turn it on project. i use the touch screen and the projection menu to select the last recording. i push play, the menu goes away and Draco appears on the wall=

"Putting me on the spot...

In this world.
Never forget who you are.
Who you were.
Set the stones for your future."

=walks in=

hate to interupt but we have a problem

=She notices her stuttering and the pain in her voice=

Does she know...

=She lifts up=
=Her chest pushing against her back=
=She kisses the back of her neck=

=She sits down beside her=

...you know...dont you...

(Dante)

=He laughs=

It works pretty well if I may say so.

=He sighs=

What is it now Zeru. More asteroids.

=They get to the Training room. Xazhi goes over to the shelf and takes off two wooden training weapons. They begin to spar=

(Dormii)
=i nod to Zeru=
Hey, Zeru.

=to Draco=
Works like a charm.

=i turn it off and hand it to Draco=
For her, when you get a chance. I don't think we should go over there right now.

=i nod, tears streaming down my face=

y-y-yes... i-i-i do...

(Dormii)
=i nod=
So, we have no way of getting the meteor out of here, and it's the size of a planet. Well, we're screwed.

=He nods=

Alright.

=He looks at them both=
=Not listening to anyone=

(Sarah)

=She hugs her=

Talfie...
It didnt mean anything.
He told me that.

No matter how we both know it isnt true

We are nothing more then friends.

=i nod=

=i turn around and sit on her lap, her arms around me=

please stay here for awhile... with me

=i begin calm down

I overhear the disscussion. "If we need ammo.....I got some contacts."

(Dormii)
=i nod again=
Okay, you let them know, okay? I'm going to go look for Rain, do some training.

=to Collins=
Hey, Collins. That'll be good.

(Sarah)

=She nods=

Okay.

=She begins rubbing her back=

(Dante)

=He is lost in thought=

=i feel my stress slowly fade=

thanks sarah...

(Sarah)

=She pushes her chest against her=
=The necklace shimmering=

Youre welcome.

=She giggles=

(Dormii)
=i head out, comming Rain=
Hey, Rain. Training. Get to the ship.

=They end their sparring=

Xaz- You just need practice. You have the potential to get very good at this.

Kid- Thanks. What did you say your name was?

Xaz- Xazhi. What's yours?

Kid- Well, remember when i told you you probably couldnt pronounce it...?

Xaz- Yea.

Kid- That may not have been entirely true. My mom always called me Kid. She told me that I was named after my father, but never told me his name. She said that one day, i would grow up and discover his fate, and i would know everything then. But then she was killed by the UNSC, and Kuvo became my teacher.

Xaz- Hmm. Thats quite the heroic tale for someone so young.

=They both chuckle=

Xaz- So where did you grow up? Srevaera?

Kid- No, i grew up on a reble planet far away from there.

Xaz- Oh?

Kid- Yep. Born and raised on Shadow of the Moon.

Xaz- Really? I spent some time there. Nice place.

Kid- Yea.

= move her hands so they cross over my chest, so i can lean back against her=

... your good at rubbing...

=i manage to giggle after being so sad=

*giggle*

(Rain)

=I had been in the training room of Repent=
=I had snuck out during the night. Seeing My cousin and Sarah=

Bastard...Hurting Talfie..

=I comm back=

Already there

=I cut the comm and divide my blade into thirds=
=I stab the dummy. "Blood" coming out=

(Dormii)
=i go to the hanger and get on a Pelican, I pilot it over to the Repent. i reply=
Go to the locker room. I have a session for you.

=i head up to the control room=

=i reach back, my arms hooking around Sarah's back=

...

=i lean my head back=

(Rain)

=I take the blade out=
=Spinning and with the other blade slicing it's neck=
=I walk out of the room and to the lockers=

I know you hurt her...

=He brings the blade back to full as he enters the room=

Youll pay. Cousin

(Sarah)

=Her hands move onto her chest=
=She begins rubbing=

oooh

=my arms tighten=

(Dormii)
=i type into the sender pad=

(Rain)

=I get my gear on=
=I take the pad and read it=

Hmm

(Sarah)

=She rubs harder=

=She giggles=

(Dormii)
=i grab the intercomm=
Get moving. It's starting in a few minutes.

=i relax as my breath gets deeper=

=i wiggle in her lap=

(Rain)

=I sigh and head out=

(Sarah)

=She continues rubbing. Faster=

Do do do do do.
