Ask The Icy Grasp

[Lukas Aurelius]

Lukas Aurelius would slowly get himself to his feet as he brushed the snow off his outfit a litte and wiping the snow off his goggles as he looked at her with a cheeky shit eating grin. "It worked!" he chimed softly of the obvious as he chuckled softly before looking at her from head to toe to check on her. He was getting into that habit of giving her a quick up and down to make sure shes okay...also checking her out was a hot bonus to as he spoke in a teasing tone. "I will take the cabin..any day of the week than snowfall cave ins and bandits." he said with his teeth showing as he laughed. He would look down and wiggle his toes and hands for a moment. "All functioning, are you okay?" he would say in a concerned tone as if she was injured he would begin to check her out instantly. If not he would roll his shoulders a little and look at the dead that remained scattered from the first assault. "We should check them for any important info and get going. I don't like being caught out here.".

Lukas would shift his way over to the bodies if she wasn't hurt and begin to search them for any important information. Letting his grab a data drive from a inner pocket as he smirked softly. "Bingo." he thought for a moment as he tucked it in his pocket. Lukas would look over to see if she was done before he began the long trek with her by his side back to their ships. Lukas would continue the walk at a brisk pace as he never wanted to get caught in the night out on the open plain as he eventually later in the day with the sun going down, They made it to Lukas's ship since he was closer than hers. Simply going off the fact he made it to the cabin before she did he had to have been abit closer. The ship lay off covered in snow from the wind and drifts as he clicked a button on his side for the ramp to come down. The legs of the ramp creaking from the cold as snow brushed off it and flew into the distance with the wind as it lowered.


Lukas would make his way up the ramp and making sure Celeste was by his side as once inside from the snow and the darkness creeping in from the night he would close the ramp and rub his shoulders for a moment as they stood in darkness before he spoke. "Ship, turn on lights." as the ship flicked on the internal battery to run the lights. Making his way over to the cockpit as he began to idle the engine and get heat circulating in it as he turned in the chair. "It isn't much but it gets the job done and beats the cold." he nodded before sliding his hand out of his jacket. "I found some intel." he nodded before waiting to see if she would accompany him.

She had noticed the looks he gave her before. He was always so sweetly protective and worried and all she wanted to do was kiss him right away again, even if they were both in an uncovered, snowy, even a little hostile terrain. "I sure hope we won't have to deal with them anymore" she replied with a smirk before she got to her feet again, shaking the snow off her suit. She immediately noticed the little burn mark on his pants and frowned slightly. "They've even set your pants on fire?! Those bastards!" she then teased him overdramatically as though she was fully outraged because of their audacity before she immediately started laughing. From the mark she could see that it hadn't touched upon his skin and so she was delighted that they had both made it out unscathed.

When he suggested taking a look around she immediately nodded before she followed him, trying her best to find as much valuable gear and data in the short period of short since they should rather hurry to get off thisnicy planet. She filled her backpack with all tools and supplies that could come in handy and she also managed to recover a datapad which she would hopefully manage to decipher at her ship. After they were done, they both made their way towards the ship's, heading for his first since his ship was closer to their current position. "Now I'm really curious to see in what you're flying around" she teased him playfully while she immediately followed him inside as though it was the most natural thing on earth. She followed him into the cockpit, quickly observing the interior before she gracefully led herself slide into the co-pilot's seat. "Our next date is in my ship" she declared amusedly while she started to turn a little in the chair. "But that intel is sweet. Maybe we can gather more important information in this group" she then replied with a smirk. Truth was, she wanted to warm up first and also, she was not necessarily focused on work right now, but she knew that work always came before pleasure.

Lukas Aurelius would smirk a little as she was playful now they were back in the safety of his ship. His icy blue eyes looking at her for a moment to take her in. "You are to beautiful." He chimed softly as he let out his hand for her to hold so she could sit down next to him. His other hand would have the data drive as he turned softly and looked at the control panel on his ship as he nodded affirmingly. "Alright. Let's see what we got going on.." he would plug in the data drive into the console and wait as it took a little bit for it to load. Darkness now approaching over the ship as the only light was from the interior of the ship and coming out of the cockpit window as a holographic screen rose before them loading the data onto the screen. A bar would slowly be filling as he turned his head over to her with a cheerful wink. "I always liked in-flight romantic data drive dates." he said teasingly as a robotic voice beeped.

"Drive downloaded." as he turned back and hit the enter button to see what they were going up against. Was it schematics for an attack or bomb? The reasoning behind the attempted kidnapping? Lukas needed some serious answers before the screen being enlarged shown two green naked twi'lek woman moaning loudly and baring all. Lukas's eyes went wide and his face turned more red than the tatooine suns as he almost near fainted in the chair. His hands quickly trying to turn it off like a youngling being caught playing after sleep time at the academy as he finally hit the close button. His breath rate picked up as he almost near had a damn heart attack. "That.." he breathed hard for a moment. "Was his..personal stash?" he thought to himself as the innocent look on his face almost made him pale for a moment and embarrassed as he sat in the chair. All that work for answers and they ended up burying the survivors and taking a dead mans fun pocket data...Lukas was in disbelief.

Her heart immediately started to melt once he had said these beautiful words again and she instantaneously smiled warmly. "You're are too cute to be real...honestly" she replied happily while her eyes still lingered on his. As unromantic as a ship was before they would attempt to extract important data he still manged to set up a romantic mood. She still held eye contact for a moment until she shifted her attention onto the console. "Maybe they've been stupid enough to save some useful information there" she suggested as hopefully as possible, but she was kind of assuming that if they would find at least something useful, it wouldn't be much.

However, she wanted to remain optimistic and focused but his next remark immediately made her laugh again. "Sounds like something an 'oh sooo' uptight Jedi like you would do..." she teased him amusedly before she would lean over to softly kiss him on the cheek before she waited for the download to finish. Once it was, she immediately opened her mouth in disbelief, staring at the presented footage before she started to laugh. His slight panic made it even more amusing and it took some time until she had caught her own breath again. She immediately got up and let herself down on his lap, softly wrapping her arms around his neck as he still had that innocent, disbelieving look on his face. "Seems like you've won the lottery with that footage. I bet it's worth something...somewhere" she teased him a little further while she was still chuckling. After she had calmed herself down she deeply looked into his eyes before she woukdnkiss him passionately yet another time. "It's okay though. I've managed to grab a still functioning datapad. I'll have it deciphered and maybe we can find something useful there" she then declared optimistically while she was holing that he would manage to recover from that short shock.

Lukas Aurelius would still be in utter shock as he suddenly felt the weight of her coming over and sitting down on his lap with her arms around him. His blue eyes would look up at hers to her sheepishly smiling face. "I won the lottery finding you." he would say with his face still red from the surprise but a sense of humility as it was an accident. Even after being in bed with her twice and endlessly wanting her he still found himself embarrassed a little as he smiled softly listening to her. "I am sure we will find something of use.." he would trail off before the soft press of her lips and warm breath was against his own. His lips pushing against hers softly as his hands lifted up to her sides to hold her in place for a moment. The kiss finally breaking after some time. "I know I should be bringing you back to your ship..Your people are worried sick." he would trail off before continuing. "But I know whenever I am with you, it is just us in this galaxy and nothing else matters." His face in a soft smile of innocence and truth as he stared into her.

His lips pushed against hers again and his longue slowly playing with hers passionately in the embrace as it slowly broke apart from one anothers lips and he looked into her eyes with his own to how his seriousness after being embarrassed to the point of a damn near heart attack. "I have Jedi business to attend to, and I know you have diplomatic issues to address but when I seen you again..I want to show you something, something that means the entire galaxy to me. If you would so kindly accept." he would look into her eyes as his hand grazed along her jaw line and holding her chin for a moment as he leaned in and kissed her passionately again before pulling back and smiling softly with his stubble brushing against her. "No matter where I am, what I do, or whom I am around..I am yours. You can always communicate with me wherever I go." he held her tightly as he looked at her again for a brief moment of admiration.

"Thank you." he couldn't help but thank her for being a wonderful person to him and just being the woman he could see himself with forever. He never thought he would feel this way, never even conceived the notion of love but she had been changing it. He would take the memory of them wherever he went and whatever battle he had to go through. Always.

She was indeed a little surpised at his reaction but she couldn't really blame him since he had lived a chaste life for quite a while. What, however, amused her, was that he hadn't shown any sign of hesitation yesterday, but beforenshe could comment on it, her heart was literally melting yet another time. She immediately pressed herself closer to him, her eyes literally widened in adoration. "I just can't believe it...I've heard such comments before, but they've never been so genuine and honest and this is just amazing" she replied overjoyed before their lips touched again. "And you're nailing it. I've never felt this way before. Not even close, but all the worries and all the doubts seemed to be blown away while all I can see is you" she then replied softly, their foreheads touching as she deeply looked into his beautiful eyes. She leaned back in, passionately exchanging another kiss before she reluctantly pulled away a little. "But even though I hate to admit it, I'm afraid they'll send rescue ships after me if I don't contact them soon" she then sighed.

When he invited her to this...special unknown place she curiosly tilted her head to the side."I would love to see this place, especially if it means the galaxy to you, so I'll gladly expect your sweet invitation". She was assuming he was talking about the place he lived in and so she literally couldn't wait to meet him there. "Also, I need to meet your second half as soon as possible. I literally can't wait to meet him!" she then added excitedly before she couldn't stay away from his lips any longer. "This is the hardest goodbye I've ever had....but we'll see each other again. Very soon" she then replied, her vice significantly effected by a hint of sadness. She tried not to become too emotional but she didn't want to leave his side. Not ever again, not even for a short period of time. Those intense feelings were indescribable as she whispered "No...thank you". They had both not elaborated on what they were thanking each other for, but it seemed like both just knew. They were thankful that they had been brought together and she was so thankful that this amazing human had crossed her path....

Lukas Aurelius would smile softly as he heard her comment and nodded in agreement. "The rescue ships? Someone such as yourself I'm thinking they'd send an armada." he would chuckle a little at the end of it as he held her still and listened softly her. Her words were sweet and he could hear her talk to him all day as he kissed her forehead for a moment. "I'm sure Loki would love to meet you." he chuckled at the thought of his dog being all over her and a big sook as always. "I'm glad you accepted, I can't wait for you to see it." he said sweetly before he lifted her chin up at the small hint of sadness as he lightly pressed his lips on hers. "Here always." he said to her. His eyes looking into her own softly as he kept her on his lip in an embrace before starting the engine out of idle and letting the legs begin to raise as he began to move the ship into the air and towards her own. Once she told him the location he would bring the ship in and hover down next to it as the landing gear extended and made contact with the snowy ground.

"I will see you again and contact me anytime." he would smile softly to her as he walked her to the ramp. Giving her a piece of paper with his number on it to call him on the net at anytime. His eyes focusing on hers as he embraced her one more time and let the push of his lips press against hers and hold her tightly once more as he let his hand glide on her jawline again and hold the side of her face as he looked into her eyes with his innocent smile. "I'll wait until you take off to make sure you're safe, till I see you again." he would kiss her lips once more before letting go of the embrace as he waited until she went down the ramp into the cold darkness by her ship. His eyes watching her softly as he felt a tinge of sadness come over him as she was going. He knew she was strong and independent and can hold her own but that never replaced the fact of him simply missing her in everyway and her presence over all.

Him still holding her gave her all the feels. She didn't want to leave his lap, nor did she want to leave his soft embrace. She savored every last moment while it was their time to say goodbye for now. "Well I can promise you that before the armada enters the atmosphere of Ando, Everett will already have me back at Rattatak. I'm expecting him to crash from the sky every minute now" she quipped, hoping that their goodbye would be a little easier if they'd manage to lighten the mood, but once his lips softly found their way back to hers, the sadness intensified. "And I can't wait to see you again" she whispered back softly, the sheer thought of leaving already making her miss him already, but she was convinced that they wouldn't be apart for long.

His words were like soft spoken promise that flood her body with a pleasant warmth, but they also left a trace of melancholy in her heart. "I will contact you. Always. Until we meet again" she repeated softly after they had already reached her own ship and it was time for her to leave. Once again she realized that she had never felt something this strong in her entire life. She was already longing for him even though she wasn't even gone yet and the way he romantically looked into her eyes and gave her a last kiss didn't make it easier. She had her eyes closed, the emotions reaching their climax before their lips parted. "Bye you. I'll see you soon" she whispered like a promise, her voice soft but the heart heavy as she took a step into the direction of the ramp. "And thank you again...for everything". With that she descended further and after glancing back one last time with a sad smile on her lips, she headed into her own ship. She had to force herself to keep moving even though every meter further away from him felt wrong. However once she was inside her ship, her smile widened a little as she was reminiscing about the time they've spent with each other. Once they'd be reunited, they'd have all the time of the world and she couldn't wait to continue writing their beautiful story...
