The Layover - Finally Alone

[Vitriol Blue]

"If your up for it, I suggest we conclude this brief engagement with one more challenge. You've got to get me to the gate of the spaceport in less than half an hour. But, not only do you have to get me back in time, a formidable challenge in and of itself, you also have to avoid the authorities who will, no doubt, be looking for a stolen speeder car."

Ringing out her hair she gives Aryan a sidelong glance. "You think you have it in you?"

. o 0 ((They wouldn't leave without me but I don't want to hear it if I'm late. "Bla bla bla - late again. Is this how a commander acts? My report bla bla..."))

A gentle breeze blows in the cool night air and the city is quiet for a few moments. With a slight shiver, Voth looks back at her dress laying on the ground, obviously worried about being late.

"Rapid high speed, Probable propriety damage, extreme danger and all while evading the local law enforcement. God you're my soul mate where have you been all my life." Aryan Climbs out only sorting out his hair and picking up his coat putting it over her "I'll do you a deal if I can get you there in ten minutes you have to give me a kiss." He smiles and winks at her picking up his shirt and her dress he turns to her "you can get dressed in the car so it makes our bet alittle more fair."

 

[Vitriol Blue]

As Voth steps out of the fountain she welcomes Aryan's coat holding it securely with one hand and with the other hand she gently caresses Aryans cheek.

As though she were making a serious transaction she gives Aryan a cold sincere agreement, "Deal!"

 

[FrostFall]

Aryan clapped his hands together "so scenic route or the boring way." he smiled extending his hand to offer her help getting on her feet. Aryan notice out of the corner of his eye two local law enforcement officer. Aryan quickly throw her dress over his shoulder and scooped her off the ground and started running towards the car as the officers shouted stop and gave chase. "This might be abit soon but if hanging out with you is always this fun then we should get married." He burst out laughing as he dashed towards the car and away from the police.

Voth starts to ponder which direction to take to the port when she is suddenly snatched up. She gasps a bit as Aryan grabs her and she spies the approaching officers in her peripheral vision. “Take the fastest way. The fastest way!”

As Aryan runs to the speeder Voth holds on tightly and closes her eyes for a moment. “Let’s worry about staying out of jail first shall we?” She takes her dress from Aryan as he runs, not wanting to lose it, and she holds her breath until they reach the speeder.

“I cannot get arrested Aryan, that’s your new priority. Do whatever you have to, my Captain won’t leave without me…” She looks back at the gaining police, “major points for you if you can avoid the law and get me back on time.”

As Aryan gets both of then to the speeder he put Voth in the back seat of the speeder he turns and salutes the two officers before jumping into the drivers seat and steps on the peddle. "I think we out stayed our welcome here don't you." He said with a rather calm smile. Flying though the air sirens of pursing officers echoed "Hey no fair you're meant to give us a head start fine if your not playing fair neither am I." The speeder flew sharply around a building and traffic causing a few of the officers to stop "Looks like we have a hero in the force well someone give this man a promotion." he laughed in excitement before making the speeder go straight down though a speedway of traffic dodging cars the officer soon lost them.

as they neared the space port not having any feather problems from law enforcement as Aryan thought he did a very good job escaping he smiled and looked at voth "under ten minutes I do like this bounus round very much I must say." he gave her a wink. As the began to land Aryan passed her a bit of paper with his number on it "just to make sure you buy lunch next time."

After landing heavily in the speeder, Voth throws off Aryan's coat and slings it over the passenger seat. She kneels on the back seat, makes a few obscene gestures at the pursuing law enforcement as Aryan sits down, and she throws her dress over her head. With a shimmy or two and a tossel of her dreads she's clothed and looking as lovely as she did earlier albeit a bit wet.

She sits down and puts her arms over the drivers seat, holding Aryan tightly from behind as he flies swiftly through traffic. Once they are free from he law enforcement she runs her fingers through his hair. "Am I allowed to distract you so that we are late or is that cheating?"

With seemingly little effort on Aryan's part, the two arrive unexpectedly fast at the gate to the space port. Relived, Voth smiles and playfully rubs his shoulders. "Oh wow! You are good." Hastily she palms the piece of paper that Aryan offers and leans over the front seat. Smelling slightly of lavandula and mint, Voth caresses Aryan's cheek and presses her palm to his chin turning his head towards her. For a few moments she locks him in a passionate kiss that climbs in intensity and the two are intertwined in hot turbulent embrace. As their lips part Voth lingers for just a second and she sighs "Goodbye Aryan Rivia."

Without looking back she departs, still carrying her shoes, and she makes her way to The Helios.

Aryan was surprised when Voth kissed him but enjoyed it to much to stop. His hand moved up her face into her hair grabbing it slightly as they were intertwined in the kiss. When she stopped he couldn't help but smile "well it's good to see you keep your word." as she left and said good bye to him he shouted to her "not goodbye but see you later after all you own me lunch." abit caught in a daze of him thinking of the day he never checked to see if Voth did anything while he was caught of guard.

The Helios is a grand ship with a large crew. As Voth reaches the door of the streamlined craft, she is comforted by the glow of it's hallways. It's a long walk back to Voth's quarters on The Helios and she says hello to at least twenty people on the way. Some of them pass by quickly, some offer small talk, and others request advice on ship business. She is very formal and professional with them but her charm shines through.

Finally amongst the officers quarters she reaches her chambers. The room is comfortable and very clean and for ship quarters, the room is fairly large. She throws her pocketbook on the bed and sets aside her wet clothes to be laundered. After a shower and some fresh clothes, Voth lays across her bed, stomach down, and she reaches under the bunk to open one of the drawers below. She pulls out a small box made of exotic inlaid wood and opens her purse. From her bag she removes a souvenir from the night, a ring she stole from Aryan. The ring is bronze with the helmet of a knight on the face. She admires the ring for a few moments, it's not worth much monetarily but it will serve as a nice reminder of the evening with Aryan. Inside the box there are dozens of such trinkets, each a remembrance of an event, a person, or a place that Voth enjoyed and wanted to cherish. After looking at the boxes contents, Voth closed the lid and puts the box back in the drawer. She rolls over, still holding Aryan's ring, and she tris to put it on each of her fingers, one by one.

Voth moves to one of the mirrors in her private bath and she slides the ring onto one of her locks. She pulls some fine wires from a cabinet and secures the ring in her hair. While she is there, she removes a small worn feather and a two large beads that hung near where she placed the newly acquired ring. The placement is subtle and the ring hangs securely near her left ear.
