It'd be several years since I'd been back home...Triple Z hadn't changed much though if at all. My saber hilts tucked neatly across the small of my back as I tapped my boot against the deck plating of the transport I was on. Coming through the skylines towards the shaft leading towards the lower levels of Coruscant I blew a whisp of platinum blonde hair out of my face and tucked it behind my gently pointed ears. I could sense uncertainty from everyone aboard and I felt it too, coming home and not even letting my family know I was back...

Pulling my dark cloak tighter around me I breezed away from the passengers and headed below deck. Walking quietly through the cargo hold I secured my belongings and unlatched a secured hatch. A guard shouted at me and smoothly pulling my blaster pistol I switched it to a stun and shot him, then I jumped. Already on the lower levels of Triple Z I made my way quickly away from the transport depot and lost myself in a crowd. Moving into the lower, seedier portions of Coruscant. I'd need a place of my own, and clubs down here were always a place to hide one's true activities. Also a good place to find allies... Having left The Order it was time for new beginnings and the shadows of Coruscant were as good a place to start as any...

How's this place even called? I don't give a kriff. Suffice it to say that it's a club. It has drinks, dancers, gamblers, and a large crowd to blend into. Everything I need right now. If only it could get my mind of the loads of poodoo that had hit the fan recently. It's a long story, but the summary is: I got a new ship, the need to maintain it, and a bunch of people who might want me dead.

"Pure Pazaak," I say this without as much enthusiasm as usual. The hand was lucky, the game turned out in my favor. I pocket my winnings, much to the chagrin of my Togruta opponent. But something ain't right. The usual thrill is gone. And there's that feeling that something is off, and I'm being watched. Relax, Kel, you're just being paranoid. Small-time thugs from Nar Shaddaa don't travel half-way across the galaxy to settle scores. In a black leather jacket over a flight suit, you look like half of the local patrons. Most of whom are drooling over the dancers anyway. And if someone comes to you asking for trouble, the blaster pistol holstered under the jacket can make it double.

I stand up from the Pazaak table and head over to the bartender. After tossing a few credit chits on the counter, I let him pick any poison that joint has... as long as it doesn't actually kill me. I down the glass in one go, not minding the taste of the liquid, or the fact that it's green...

...​

"That's some strong stuff," Kel replied coarsely after putting the empty glass on the counter and clearing his throat. The green liquid sure packed a punch. Glad I hadn't downed it before the game. For Pazaak, Kel liked to keep his mind sharp. But now, an inhuman dose of alcohol made his predicament seem less karked than it actually was. Just what the young scoundrel needed... for the time being at least.

I'd found a club and headed inside, one thing I'd learned to do while a Jedi was to hide my Force Sensitivity. The young man in the corner at the pazaak table had won against a Togruta who groaning from the loss walked away from the table. A smirk lit my face at that and I had to say the young spacer had....style perhaps. Even if he could hide blasters better... Pulling my hood back and walking over to the bar in black heeled boots I headed to the bar as he ordered and downed his drink in one go I cast my gaze about the club.

The Jedi had assumed I'd remain in robes the whole time I was with them. Fortunately I grew up in privilege and had other ideas about that. Plus I'd established my own style choices having worked in clubs exactly like this in the Mid and Outer Rim. A maroon crop top baring my midriff with black leather vest left unzipped with skintight charcoal pants. Seduction was also another thing I'd picked up The Jedi wouldn't have approved of me knowing.

His comment about that being strong stuff I chuckled lightly and said "You should try Echani mead mixed with Corellian whiskey." Placing a credit chit on the counter I said "I'll start with the whiskey." The bartender shuffled off to get my drink and I looked over the bar and felt it out. There was....promise here. I could sense it ran close to old tunnels and there was likely at least a hangar below it. All that'd be needed would be to convince the owner to part with it. Whether through legitimate or illegitimate means was yet to be determined...

A light chuckle and an drink choice suggestion made Kel turn his face towards the newcomer. "Thanks for the tip," he replied quickly to the unexpected neighbor. With a smirk, the pilot added a few more chits from his winnings on the counter: "Make that two whiskeys mixed with Echani mead." After that, the scoundrel rested his elbow on the counter, turning towards the stranger. The sudden distraction proved enough to get Kel's mind off his current predicament... for the moment at least.

While the woman next to him was studying the bar, Kel turned away from the counter and pretended to study the crowd. A few well-timed sideways glances would be enough so as not to appear indecent. His new neighbor sure dressed to impress. But stunning looks aside, Kel felt that there was something more about the woman than met the eye. Perhaps it was a mismatch between her clothes attitude; or the way she examined the place... Regardless, it was nothing more than a hunch yet.

Luckily, the drinks would arrive before the pause would become too awkward. Grabbing his transparent glass, the pilot raised it above the counter and studied the liquid inside. After that, he turned his attention to the woman again: "Hope you don't mind me buying that drink. I'm Kel, by the way."

The looks from the young spacer didn't go unnoticed, but I didn't particularly mind either. It was nice to be noticed...I smirked as he placed an order of my suggestion. As he introduced himself and offered me one of the drinks I said "Not at all, Kel. As long as you don't plan on winning any more pazaak games. This mix tends to be a bit stronger than most give it credit for." Extending a hand to him I said "A pleasure Kel, I'm Celiana. You'll have to tell me how you enjoy that drink. I advise sipping, many Corellians have ended up passed out from how smooth it goes down and how strong it is."

Most didn't know that Echani brewing methods included aging the mead in spice seasoned wood barrels. Not that you'd be hallucinating as one would normally on spice, however it packed a powerful kick from how it was aged. I was still wondering about some of the individuals in here I sensed lust obviously, but also fear, and interestingly ambition. Kel had the vibe of all of the above though not overtly advertising such. I was making note of who'd be easy marks to go swipe things from.

Key cards, ID chips, there was always someone who visited places that were out of their societal norms. When they did, they risked losing a great deal. Especially to people with my skills. "So Kel, what kind of business you into? Other than pazaak and being a fine beverage connoisseur?"

The pilot shook the woman's hand, replying with a smirk and a simple "Will do." Passing out sounded like a nice option actually... If he could get back to his ship first and raise the ramp. After taking one more look at the glass, the pilot sipped from it, as Celiana advised. "So far, so good," he complimented the drink, but then exhaled through his nose with a chuckle: "Though I see why you advised against more Pazaak tonight." Kel was already struggling with keeping the thoughts in check.

Drunk or not, the question about business helped Kel retain some focus. Turning to his company—half-empty glass in hand—he'd tilt his head and reply, ticking off the fingers of his free hand: "Well, I'm a pilot... A driver... A gambler..." The man shrugged. "And occasionally a shot when situation calls for it." Kel didn't say it, but the fact was, he was in the business of "getting by": scrounge up the credits to keep the ship flying, and the most important bills paid.

"What about you, Celiana?" the pilot took another sip, almost emptying the glass. The woman was still an enigma: despite a rather provocative outfit, Kel wouldn't bet on her being your typical dancer. "I mean, apart from being a drinking counselor and a sight for sore eyes."

As Kel, ticked off particular skills I raised a eyebrow and then he asked about me and my line of work. I'd been taking a sip from my drink and then simply flicked my eyes up and said "I'm not sure you'd quite like the unedited version of my line of work it does involve history however. I will say I'm back home after several long years away. Perhaps looking to get set up on my own here, Triple Zero has some...nice perks in the lower levels. Easier to get lost and avoid the attention of others." Taking another sip from my glass I paused briefly...

"Tell me Kel, what are your thoughts on Jedi?" Hopefully he wouldn't just up and leave, I was quite enjoying the drink and the company. Plus being flirted with was certainly nice...I'd never exactly been noticed by anyone in The Order. Even having worked in clubs I wasn't exactly used to the one on one. I was drawn back to Coruscant for a reason, what that was yet hadn't been made clear. I liked this club though. It seemed a good place to start, I could sense the tunnels below and now having been focusing on the flirting and looks I could sense a hangar below the club as well.

Yes, this would make a good place to start. As it was I had my own thoughts of how to establish myself here... My mother was a researcher and I....was much the same, though my methods were very unlike the Echani. Tucking a strand of hair behind my Aelfin ears I smiled at him exposing my elongated canines. "You're not so bad on the eyes yourself Kel...and I'm a woman of many talents..." A light flush was creeping across my pale cheeks I could tell...

It does involve history, however... That was kind of elusive. Then again, Kel was used to people dodging questions one way or another. The blonde did mention settling down on Coruscant. Again, without details though. So far, all Kel had heard and seen about that woman didn't add up. And then she asked an entirely different question. Related to her? Perhaps. Though the blonde didn't strike Kel as a Jedi type either. Perhaps she just wanted to change the topic from herself and her line of work to anything else? Fine by me... For now, at least.

The Jedi were... complicated. Personally, Kel didn't have a problem with them. In fact, his life had been saved by glowstick wielders once or twice. However, he had seen a few in action—deflecting blaster bolts with ease, as if they were playing baseball. They could become a dependable ally... Or the gunslinger's worst nightmare. After some contemplation, the pilot replied earnestly, with a faint, barely noticeable smile: "I don't mind the Jedi... As long as we're on the same side." Curious. It turns out that Jedi were no different to Kel than any other human sentient beings in that regard.

Kel noted Celiana's gesture, a smile, and a comeback. The pilot finished the remainder of his drink, put the empty glass aside on the counter and tilted his head with a smile of his own: "Oh, I'm sure you are. Wouldn't mind hearing more about it."

As Kel mentioned not minding the Jedi I relaxed slightly. As he mentioned not minding hearing more about it I chuckled warmly and picking up my glass I did exactly what I'd warned Kel not to do. Knocking the rest of the mixed drink back in one go I turned the glass upside down on the bar and said "I prefer action to simply words...." Grabbing his hand I placed it against the small of my back where my saber hilts were locked in place. I'm sure he'd be able to tell what they were just by feel, plus if he wanted his hands could wander as well...

"Let's say that I have differing beliefs than most who carry these particular blades. I'm also quite a good shot with rifles though I will say you could at least try hiding this better." As I spoke I snaked my hand inside his jacket and wrapped my hand around his blasters handgrip. "Perhaps the kind of woman I am is becoming a bit clearer now Kel?"

That certainly isn't how I imagined by day at the club to unfold. Not that I mind it; quite the opposite, actually. I prefer actions to simply words, huh? And then she just grabs my hand and puts it behind her back. But instead of her body, I sense... something metallic. A couple of curved solid cylinders. If those are blasters, then they definitely have weird handgrips... But then I put two and two together. Those ain't blasters, and she is a Jedi. Frankly, I'm lost for words and actions. One move too bold, and I can say farewell to my hand. The notion helps me sober up a little bit; but it still feels like a dream... not at all unpleasant though.

As she speaks, I look into her purple eyes, my head still tilted to the right slightly. She does seem in a playful mood, so I play along... In the most respectful way possible. I gently pull her closer to me, hand still on the hilts. "Oh, I can see that," I reply to her comment about action. But then I sense her hand under my jacket and have to break eye contact. She had gone for my gun. Under normal circumstances, it would've triggered all my alarms. But this time... I don't mind. Somehow, I have a good feeling about this. The apparent danger only adds spice.

"Perhaps the kind of woman I am is becoming a bit clearer now Kel?" The alcohol and the sweetness make me loosen up a bit suggest a good comeback, to tie into her own words: "A true enigma... And a woman after my own heart." I lean forward, my lips by her left ear now; I can even feel the tickling of her breath on my neck. As I move a strand of her blonde hair behind her pointy ear with my free hand, I make my voice quieter: "Though I get the feeling that you're after more than that." It's up to her how to interpret that; she could share her true reasons for showing up in that place and approaching me... Or she could just continue playing the game. Somehow, I hope that the former doesn't happen at the expense of the latter.

I had to supress a shudder of pleasure at his breath; warm against my ears. Chuckling warmly I pulled a small pouch from my belt and slid it across the bar towards the bartender with a message "Let your boss know I'm buying the club." Inside were some rather rare Echani gems along with several uncut Arkanian diamonds. Perks of having worked some....questionable jobs. I'm sure Kel would have noticed the pouch and I said "Aye, at the moment I'm after this club. Though also looking for a man with your particular talents...I'm recently separated from The Order and looking to start doing some things my way."

Leaning in against him I warmly said "Believe me, if I wanted your hands gone they already would have been. I happen to think they're fine where they are. I will say that the history, relics and books I cared for and looked for the archivists didn't particularly agree with. I want more, knowledge is after all power. To do so though I need a ship, a pilot, and a market for the things I'm looking to sell and acquire. So, since we're being honest...have you done any smuggling or such work Kel?"

Gently gripping his hand with The Force I moved it lower, onto my arse then said "Yes, I am after much more than simply a drink with a roguishly good looking pilot."The bartender came back and slid a card over to me. "The club is yours, may fortune smile upon you." Nodding slightly I waited for Kel's response and realized now I could have the shipping yard where I'd had most of my belongings stored shipped back here. This was looking to be an excellent new beginning so far...

While cuddling up to me and explaining what she is after, Celiana has inconspicuously struck some sort of deal with or through the bartender. To everyone else, that must have gone completely unnoticed. Don't be deceived, Kel. Despite the looks and a soft touch, that woman has the business grip of a Hutt. I don't mind though. Frankly, I haven't met anyone like her in this business yet. The looks, the attitude, the ambition, the power. And she apparently has a job for me. I can think of a few reasons why she'd be a better employer than a Hutt...

And then she responds, as if to my own thoughts or concerns that haven't even fully shaped in my mind. Do the Jedi read minds? Or has she just put 2 and 2 together? Either way, that girl is shrewder than I gave her credit for. Working for her might prove more of a risk than I originally thought. After all, a Hutt can't weaken your bargaining position simply by leaning in against you, speaking softly, and...

And THAT last move. I don't know how my hand went down from her hilts to her hips. Well, technically, it's not hips, but... It's punnier that way. It's not the alcohol that made me bolder. It was as if an invisible hand has moved my own where it should be; gently, yet firmly, without the option to refuse. Not that I would refuse either way; in fact, I wanted that. My hand strokes the blonde gently, as I hold her close. She isn't the only one setting terms now.

I move my head slightly backwards, to look her in the eye (even if sideways, since we still are pretty close). The right corner of my lips must be curled up in a sort of semi-smirk now; totally out of my control. "I bet you'd see right through me if I were dishonest either way." That was a statement more than a question; I wink to her: "So I'll be honest and say that I don't usually look what's in the crates. It's better for business that way."

"Well, Celiana..." I make a brief pause for extra effect; that, and because I enjoy our current position and the buildup to my next move. Let's see if two can play that game. Finally, I continue: "You have a ship and a pilot." Then I lean to her ear again, soft smirk on my lips. I whisper: "We're both at your command. There's only a small matter of fees for hangar, maintenance, and crew... But I'm sure we'll come to an agreement."

With that, my lips softly land under her ear. The skin there is sensitive and very soft to the touch. At the same time, my hand gives her a tighter squeeze, while the other caresses the back of her neck. After all, it's important to keep the new employer satisfied.

Chuckling at him saying I'd likely see through him either way I said "I like to think I'm good at reading people, doesn't hurt I'm a fire dancer makes reading most situations much easier. Being trained as a Jedi just...polished my skills. I don't care if you look in the crates though I'd recommend against trying to open what's inside the crates. Safer for your sanity the Jedi aren't the only ones who stored artifacts after all."

Many had heard of the Echani Firedancers we had a high reputation for a reason. Almost any weapon given to us could be mastered incredibly fast. His breath on my neck was.....mmmm very nice. Soft circles being traced along my hips....As he mentioned fees for hangar, maintenance and crew I said "Hangar below this club, I'll help with maintenance and crew shouldn't be difficult." Pulling another small pouch from my belt I slipped it into his free hand he'd been gesturing with. A mix of uncut Arkanian diamonds, Echani fire opals and Corellian emeralds.

Then I felt his lips against my ear and I couldn't help it, I let out a light moan then slightly louder as he squeezed along my hip. Breath hitching slightly as I said "Before you continue and I certainly want you to Kel, check your payment and see if that'll satisfy payment." Breath still hitching I waited for him to see his payment. I didn't think he'd have a problem with it.

I smirk at Celiana's comment about the artifacts. Her concern about my sanity is touching. Then again, it could be just a way to keep me away from the cargo. It's fine either way. I wouldn't have been where I am if I went back on my word in a deal, or asked too many questions. And in the meantime, I also got to hear more about Celiana's background. There are still a lot of the missing pieces in the puzzle, but some things are coming together now. Not a girl to double cross, that's for certain.

As a pouch ends up in my free hand, I put it on the counter and open it, without letting Celiana go. It's less convenient, but surely is more pleasant, and doesn't draw as much attention. It is a pouch similar to what she gave to the bartender. And now I get to see what's inside. If my jaw wasn't on Celiana's shoulder right now, it would drop. The pouch contains gems! Beautiful, colorful, and seemingly expensive ones at that. I'm no expert, so I can't really verify if they're genuine here and now. It'll have to wait.

Celiana's response to my "displays of affection" is encouraging. Guess charms do work both ways. I look at my new boss while tying up the pouch. If the gems aren't fake, I've probably hit a jackpot. Kriff, even if they are fake, I can probably still profit off them in some way. Then I slide the pouch into an inner pocket of my vest, before I can give my now-undivided attention to the woman. My second hand is now on the left side of her head again, thumb stroking her cheek and a pointy ear. To express my concerns without offending her, I go for a compliment: "If they're as genuine as you are, that's more than satisfying. Let's seal the deal?"

Normally, it would mean a handshake, but it's safe to say we're past that point. Instead of that, the gaze of my blue eyes meets her purple ones. To break the tension, I slip in a comment: "On the side note, love what you've done to my hand." After a few more moments of stare down I tilt my head to the left and lean in for the kiss on her lips.

Drawing a look that playfully hinted at mild offense I said "They're as real as the gems in my sabers Kel. I went through too much trouble to acquire them for them to be fake. If they were then the person I took them from would be frozen over with their neck cut on Arkania. As he's still breathing I can assure you they're real."

As he mentioned sealing the deal then mentioned loving what I did with his hand a smile lit my face and my elongated canines were exposed. "I happen to like where it is Kel." Then he leaned in to kiss me and I gently raked my nails into his hair as I hooked another arm around his neck and leaned into the kiss. I felt him squeeze where I'd put his hand and I moaned softly into the kiss. Then his fingers brushed against my ears and I moaned a little more, my shoulders relaxing at the gentleness of his fingers on my ear.

Pulling away softly from the kiss I said "I think we should move away from the bar somewhere more...private." Grabbing his hand gently I led him away from the bar towards the office I'd spotted earlier. Opening the door I dragged him inside and kicked the door closed. Closing the curtains I reached out in The Force and felt there was a private elevator hidden in the office. Likely to head below the club to private quarters and the hidden hangar. I certainly would be exploring that soon; for now? I wanted more of what had started at the bar. Taking a seat on a comfy leather couch I gave Kel a come over here gesture.

Well, at least your suspicions didn't get your neck cut, Kel. Normally, I'd raise my hands as a sign of apology, but this time both of them are pretty occupied. So all I can give is a playful smirk of apology: "My mistake then. I'll make it up to you." As we kiss and cuddle by the bar counter, I can feel the gazes from all over the club. Bet a lot of them are mighty jealous right now. But I don't give a kriff.

What matters most is that I am able to keep the promise of "making it up". Apparently, the blonde enjoys the evening just as much as I do. The feeling of her arm on my neck, her nails in my hair, the pressure of her lips and body, the fragrance... That's one way to take the edge off. If asked right now, I probably wouldn't remember about the troubles that brought me into this place.

Then she breaks the kiss and suggests going somewhere more private. "You're the boss," I reply with a chuckle and let her guide me, a soft and confident smile on my lips. When Celiana leads me towards the office, it finally clicks in my mind. She has just bought the place, with a similar pouch of gems. Just like she bought me and my ship—admittedly, with a slightly larger investment on her part. I feel that I got the better end of the bargain.

And that end of the bargain is now sitting on a leather couch, gesturing me to come over. As I do, I take off the leather jacket and leave it on the back of a nearby armchair. While hanging the jacket, I also undo my boots. The jacket weighs down heavily, with a pouch of gems and a blaster pistol in it. Now all I have left is a dark-blue T-shirt and the black pants, along with the undone boots. Some joke about Celiana being too hot to approach dressed would probably strike home right now. But we're past jokes.

I land on the leather couch by her side. My first desire is to immediately resume what we started in the club. But convenience first. I take her left leg softly and put it on my knee, to undo the straps and zipper on her high-heeled boot, if she'd let me. The karking thing sure has a lot of straps. Alright, I'll take my sweet time to build up some anticipation.

Finally, I'm done with one boot. As I slide it off Celiana's foot gently and put it on the floor, my gaze turns to her, and I chuckle lightly: "I figured you're not going off this couch any time soon?" Then I reach for her other leg, to get it on my knee and do the same thing.

Leaning back in the couch as Kel pulled off his jacket and boots I arched my back like a Nexu and deftly pulled my sabers free. Setting them on the table by the couch I also disengaged the lock on my thigh holster of my heavily modified DC-15s blaster pistol and set it on the table by sabers. Relaxing back I felt Kel pulling my boots off one at a time after pulling my legs gently up onto his knee. One boot down then he asked if I planned on leaving the couch anytime soon.

Smirking I said "Not a chance, I'm quite comfortable where I am Kel." Glancing around I actually noticed a few candles scattered about the office. Looking at him with amethyst eyes I focused on the candles and channeled The Force, bringing my intent to bear. Then the candles flicked to life one at a time casting a soft glow about the room.

Maintaining eye contact with him I smiled and once more arched my back I felt his hand brush against my bare foot and letting out a soft moan of pleasure I certainly hoped his hands would keep wandering after he got my second boot off...

"I'm sure you are..." I'm finally done with all the pesky straps on the second boot. "We're about to find out," I chuckle at this different interpretation of "I'm comfortable", as my fingers run across Celiana's feet and ankles, touching them just barely. I use that extra time to get my own feet out of the boots as well.

Then, the candles light up in the room by themselves. I can't hide a surprised expression at the magic that was in play. To someone more accustomed to the Force, it might have seemed natural. Still, Celiana awaits, and candles have made her intentions clear as day. She's been waiting long enough. I raise one of her legs, moving it over my head and behind my back. That way, when I get on the sofa and crawl towards her, I draw her hips with me. By the time me face reaches hers again, Celiana's legs are around my waist, and our bodies pressed against each other.

With my hands still busy caressing her hips, I land a kiss on the side of her neck, under the left ear. That way, I'd still hear her soft giggling, hitching breath, and the voice. I can't pass the opportunity to whisper while doing it, so that she'd feel it not only with hear ears, but with her skin as well: "Indeed. You are quite comfortable."

Smiling as I felt his hands wandering I felt this lips on my neck and his breath on my ear. Breath hitching in my throat I rolled my neck and simply allowed The Force to wash over me in waves of desire, lust, and passion. My amethyst eyes blazing with the flecks of gold and green. Then I simply bit his neck, my elongated canines digging in breaking skin. As he pressed against me I simply looked at the door and he'd hear a lock click. Me engaging the lock with The Force, then pulling away from his neck I ran my fingers up under his shirt nails running gently against his chest.

"I think it's quite time we get more comfortable though Kel. If anyone disturbs us well...it'd be the last thing they ever do." Gently biting the corner of my lip I ran my tongue along my lip and waited for him to escalate things..

Some time later

"Ughhhhhm," I grumble to the cold floor under me. My head is throbbing with pain to every sound, even my own grumbling and thoughts. The throat was sore, begging for liquid. Perhaps it was a mistake mixing up the spicy mead with that green goo... How long ago? It must've been hours, but I feel like I've spent a week without sleep. Working at the mines of Kessel, no less. With another grunt—head still hurting!—I get on my fours before standing up.

When trying to stretch my arms, I feel a strange tingling on my back and chest—painful and web-like. Lowering my gaze, I see nail scratch marks all over his chest; the back probably has the same picture as well. I exhale coarsely and rub his eyes. There you are! A triumphant thought comes to my mind, as I head towards the leather couch... Pass it and lean forward to pick up my pants and put them on.

A look at the aftermath of the couple "getting comfortable" evokes a wry smirk. At first, things went rather smoothly... And then the mead must've kicked like a raging Wookiee, because I don't remember a thing that happened afterwards. Why is Celi's thigh holster with DC-17 hanging off the ceiling? Why is one of her lightsabers on the floor, and where was the other? How'd her boots end up on the table, when I distinctly remember putting them on the floor? And more importantly, why the kriff is my payment in gems scattered ALL OVER the floor and the sofa?!

So many questions left unanswered... And probably for the best. I wipe a sour expression off my face with a hand. Then I fish out the empty pouch from the aquarium, and get to collecting the gems. Finally, after some more hard work—and headaches coupled with dehydration—it looks like most of them are there. I sit on the couch quietly, trying not to disturb it too much, so as not to wake Celi up. I'd have to wait until she does, before I can collect the remaining gems off the sofa. Hmmmm... She's covered with my leather jacket as a blanket? That I can understand.

While letting the blonde take her well-deserved rest, I scratch my neck, only to get dry blood under my nails. Yeah, that was the trickle from the bite. That part I remember, and it makes me chuckle. Especially while I watch Celi now, resting peacefully and with a wide smile on her lips. Since my leather jacket wasn't enough for a blanket, her legs are covered with something else. Some torn dark-blue ragged cloth? Ah, that was probably my T-shirt...
