Why wasn't anyone else entering the speeder?
These prolonged pleasantries felt like the Sullustian dignitaries were... stalling for something. Yuuta himself couldn't keep the warning bells from blaring incessantly from the back of his mind. He knew he couldn't simply act out of suspicion lest...
Meeting with dignitaries never failed to prompt a hint of nervousness from Yuuta. He wasn't too presumptuous nor arrogant to call himself a diplomat, but he guessed that being on a mission of such nature was not just a change of pace but also a rather welcome one. His wife often worried about...
Sullust was karking hot.
It was as hot as anyone could guess when mentions of planets with volcanic, molten surfaces crop up. But the dark-haired male found no issue being on one when it was duty that called him there. The ISC Ranger was clad in his typical attire of loose, white long-sleeved...
It was over. The dark-haired Ranger was once again acquainting himself with the reality as the rush of adrenaline and the scuffle started wearing off. Shoulders drooping, Yuuta could only offer Shan another apologetic grin though this time was now laced with relief. The two Rangers completed...
The spacer was trying his best to calm down and though he had succedded and ceased with his attempt to give Souther a piece of his mind, Yuuta could still feel the frustration Arrieta felt. Simply glad and grateful that he had (somehow) managed the de-escalate the situation, the Ranger patiently...
The Ranger was visibly glad that his offer of help wasn't being turned away. In fact, Yuuta had been terribly pleased to have Arrieta sort of trust him despite the treatment from Souther. Some folk would've assumed that the dark-haired male was only offering help so as not to further malign the...
The look of utter surprise on Arrieta's face prompted an amused chuckle out of the Ranger. Maker, had the blond not met a single law enforcer who respected a sentient's basic rights? If he hadn't then it sucked, it sucked in the sense that either the ISC Rangers' presence within ISC space were...
The spacer's attention wasn't on Yuuta's offer, but it had remained on the latter's discussion about the former's rights. The Ranger didn't need the Force guiding him where Arrieta's thoughts were heading, and when the blond had blurted out one specific thought Yuuta was smiling again like a...
Arrieta gave nothing away while Yuuta picked and inspected crates from the front stack at random. An approving smile was the only giveaway that he commended the spacer. It was either he was really telling the truth or he was just that good of an actor. The Ranger lifted a hand and pointed at...
Others would have revelled in the open shock and discomfort Arrieta felt upon witnessing what seemed to be a display of power, but Yuuta didn't. In fact the Ranger only felt even more sympathetic towards the captain, but there was no hint of regret from using the gift he he had been bestowed...
Yuuta stepped into the cabin, dark gaze immediately finding the captain of the Starskipper. The fact that Arrieta followed the Ranger's instructions to the letter had Yuuta quietly sighing in relief. The other man's actions might have earned him some plus points from others – and he'd earned...
Yuuta respectfully inclined his head in response to Theo's order. He stepped out of the vehicle after the Jedi, charcoal eyes giving the rest of the group one last sweep before turning around to follow the Morellian.
"Good luck, Theo," the Ranger said amiably, glancing at his colleague and...
Leaving the premises was a blessing, and Yuuta would have wept with relief but Theo had immediately saddled him with a new responsibility. Anyone would've probably felt indignant but not Yuuta, no – he'd rather jump between a Jedi and a Mando locked in mortal combat than be in the same room as...
Yuuta was content with blending in the background, letting the rest of the group bicker as much as they wanted. As long as the assembled crew got the job done he wouldn't really complain. That was a lie – the dark-haired Ranger was already coming up with a list of complaints about the group's...
It was obvious that news of President Thorne's kidnapping had shocked Yuuta Graves. When the initial emotion receded it was quickly replaced by anger, the poison in his veins only drawn out of his heart by Marizo's gentle touch. He'd spent the next moments pacing around their humble abode's...
