RE: The Wren Identity [Kaleb and Reine] (Closed)
Kaleb Wren — 06/28/2021
Kaleb shook his head, he had taken a shower. He knew it wasn't possible that his feet stunk. But he also knew how... sensitive Reine was. But she had already changed her position and he wasn't about to since this position allowed him to keep an eye on the door. However he felt nervous about being so close to her. And Kaleb found that he didn't like being nervous.
Reine — 06/28/2021
Reine kept her back to him until she fell asleep. Which was more difficult than she was willing to admit. He just... Took his shirt off in front of her! What was she supposed to do with that? Was it a signal? Was he expecting something from her? Did he mistake her la bise? It was a custom in her culture, everywhere in Europa really. But if she was really honest with herself then she would be openly admitting that it wasn't only la bise she wanted to give him. NON! She had to stop thinking like that. She was going to get them both killed if she didn't stop her distractive thoughts.
She kept her back to him and pulled her knees closer to her trying not to cause him any discomfort. Though she was not a very considerate sleeper. It was very apparent that she had never shared a bed. Through the night she would be splayed in almost every position imaginable. Finally ending with her on her stomach, head away from him, arm slung over his chest, and one of her legs hanging off of the bed.
Kaleb Wren — 06/28/2021
Kaleb had no problem sleeping, though getting hit from time to time was adjustment. He woke up before the sun was up and felt the arm slung over his chest and carefully got out of the bed. And went to the small shower and got himself ready for what promised to be a long day. After he showered he got out saw that she was still asleep so he went about getting dressed and getting their things ready. He didn't think it was wise to come back to this place afterwards.
Reine — 06/28/2021
Reine snapped her head up a couple of times seeming like she was awake but it wasn't until Kaleb was done packing that she slowly came to consciousness. "Quelle heure est-il?" Her hair had grown in size three times from sleeping and the hairstyle she had put in the night before. She looked out the window with confusion. "C'est la nuit?
(English: "What time is it?" and "It's night?")
Kaleb Wren — 06/28/2021
"Actually C'est presque l'aube ." he told her as he turned around to face her and nearly jumped in shock. His eyes farrowed as he looked at her... well her hair specifically. "We have a long trip ahead of us remember?"
Reine — 06/28/2021
Frowning slightly at his reaction, she patted at her hair. "C'est bon je me suis douché hier soir..." She crawled out of the bed, adjusting her sleep clothes. "Où sont mes vêtements?
(English: Kaleb - "Actually, it's almost dawn."
Reine - "It's good I showered last night." and "Where are my clothes?")
Kaleb Wren — 06/28/2021
"Don't know, where did you leave them?" he asked.
Reine — 06/28/2021
Reine stretched her arms to the ceiling, letting out a soft high pitched screech. Her hoodie rode up showing a slight strip of her toned stomach. She took a moment to think and remembered that the clothes he bought for her was still in the bathroom. She went to the bathroom and picked through the clothes. Did she really need to wear these? They were hideous. She poked her head out "Do I really need to wear zees?"
Kaleb Wren — 06/28/2021
"Yes, unless you want to end up in carbonite again." he told her as he finished up and sat down.
Reine — 06/28/2021
She slightly grumbled before going back into the bathroom. By magic she was able to tame her hair and put it back into the style it was last night. The clothes, however, were too big. The scissors he bought did come in handy. She was able to cut the hem of the shirt so that she could tie it around her waist. "Do you 'ave a belt?" She called out to him.
Kaleb Wren — 06/28/2021
Fortunately for her he did. He had gotten out of the habbit of wearing it the last few days since he was wearing his blaster on his hip. He reached into his bag and removed it and walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door. "Here you go." he replied.
Reine — 06/28/2021
She opened the door a crack and took the belt. It didn't really help, but it was at least better. There wasn't time to sew or properly tailor the pants. She cut the bottoms of the pants off making strips out of the leftover fabric and tied them around the legs just under her knee. It wasn't the greatest look but it was something that was currently fitting. "Okay. I am ready. When do we go?" She asked as she walked out of the bathroom.
Kaleb Wren — 06/28/2021
"We can go now. Let's see if we can find a speeder to rent that is within the means of Christian Skywalker." he told her as he picked up his two bags.
Reine — 06/28/2021
Reine got her bag together. "'ow did you get such a cool surname?" she asked. "I got stuck with 'James'. Satine James. 'ow boring." She followed him out of the room and let him take lead on their path. Once on the route she would keep a lookout for the building.
Kaleb Wren — 06/28/2021
"I thought it was kind of silly. But I remember my father telling me about a great Jedi warrior that fought during the Clone Wars." Kaleb told her as he led the way out of the room. "Anyway when I saw the name I remembered that and chose it." he added.
Reine — 06/28/2021
Reine wrinkled her nose. "Clone Wars? What are ze 'clone wars'?" She asked.
Kaleb Wren — 06/28/2021
"It was a massive war that spanned the galaxy. At least where I'm from." he told her. "This isn't the time talk about that however since we don't know who might be listening." he added.
Reine — 06/28/2021
Massive war that spanned the entire galaxy? Where he's from? That statement made absolutely no sense to her. Instead she simply nodded contemplating how many times he had been hit in the head.
Kaleb Wren — 06/28/2021
It didn't take them long to find a speeder that met their needs and the pair headed out. It took them a couple of hours to get there. The sun had finally come up, at lest what they could see through the dome.
Reine — 06/28/2021
Their trip took them far outside of the city and onto farmland. The agriculture was definitely not native to the moon and there was a very tall lighting system to aid with the little sunlight it received. Reine was able to cover her hair to protect it from the wind. She prayed along the way hoping that the Angel would guide her. For some reason it took them until mid afternoon to find the area that they were looking for. They hadn't eaten all day and she wasn't about to ask for a pitstop for necessities. Not like there was any out this far.
Finally, when it seemed like it was the last place the looked, she spotted the tiny structure in the distance. The house was tiny and it was ramshackled. The thin air kept it from deteriorating completely but if this was what it looked like now, then it couldn't have been much better 18 years ago. Reine got out of the speeder slowly and took off her sunglasses. It seemed quiet. There weren't any vehicles around so it looked like they were alone. She could feel a wave of energy like a connection point. "This is it..." She said looking at him.
Kaleb Wren — 06/28/2021
"Are you sure?" Kaleb asked as he got out of the speeder. To him it looked like several of the other small structures in the area.
Reine — 06/28/2021
Reine nodded, looking back at the door. She made her way up to the small house. She could feel it in her heart that this was it. It took a few tries but the rusted latch opened finally and the smell was the one thing she was not expecting. She coughed at the stench. It hadn't even been cleaned... Or this is what all houses smelled like when sitting stagnant. There was a layer of dust and there was a lot of fading to the yellow walls. So, that was why it looked so golden in her vision...
Kaleb Wren — 06/30/2021
Kaleb watched as she got closer to the door of the house. “Hold on @Reine , don’t go in just yet.” he called out to her. He went back to his duffel bag and removed his comlink. He quickly sent a burst message to Ava and Tesara in order to make sure that some one got it. On Baklid-2, used ship that we acquired. Every one is okay for now. Need help to get off world. Is it possible for someone to get our ship located in docking bay 74 to have a hyperdrive installed and cleared for launch? He then his send and walked over to where Reine was to join her in entering the house. He hoped this was the right place.
