Taking A Ni

[Akirapryde]

He pondered his words carefully, "I left the Core Worlds because I was drowning under the weight of a autocrat system that serves only the wealthy and powerful. I stayed here because I found something in this circus, as you put it. I found a family, a people, an identity that was my own. Here, I am not a Saar. Hell they do t even know what a Saar is. Here I am Sheriff. An identity that I earned."

"Ballroom dancing?" He said with a smile. "I really don't know. I know a lot of people that went. I just never found it right."

[Gar]

"~I~ don't even know what a Saar is," giggled Ni, teasing him, "Are you, like, the lost son of some royal family?" then she changed the subject, "What are these Dark Wing things you mentioned?"

[Akirapryde]

He slowly stood up, "those bastards are the hold overs from what is left of Baklid's former government. The former wealthy who had their wealth taken from them and given back to the people that they had stolen from."

He picked up a stick and started to draw a moot, "they are led by a Celestial. Some call these Celestial, space angels. But mark my words this ruthless woman is far from an angel. I watched her throw a rookie deputy off a roof. Poor kid fell to his death."

He looked up at her, "that is why this afternoon was so important. The Dark Wings have used people to spread their terrorism. I wanted to make sure that this was just an innocent case of mistaken identity."

[Gar]

Ni looked over Kaleb's work with satisfaction. She helped pat down the sand around the moat, grimacing when he mentioned the deputy. "That is terrible...so this military guy from the OPA is helping you stamp out the Celestials and the Dark Wings?" The Zeltron stood up, brushed the sand from her dress, and used her foot to drag out a river from the moat to the shore. The water from the lake quickly filled the tiny trench and lapped into the moat feebly. Ni placed her hands on her hips and smiled proudly at the Saar. "Nice work, Mr. Sheriff. You're pretty good at this." Then she slowly approached and sat down next to him, leaning in close to stare into his eyes suggestively. "Perhaps I was wrong about you, Kaleb Saar..."

[Akirapryde]

He smiled softly and tilted his head. "Well that all depends on what you thought of me."

He glanced around the beach when a chime rang out. A large hologram of a man appeared over the beach. "Ladies and Gentlemen of Baklid. I bring you great news! As you have all beard, the Republic opened fired on one of our warships operating in independent space. This attack occurred because the Republic lured our ship in to an ambush. We all already know this. What we don't know is that General Graff has managed to secure the release of the few survivors that their were. This was no easy task, but Our General would not leave anyone behind. In just a few short hours Our General will be bringing home those survivors. The Royal Palace and Crowned Prince of Baklid would like to invite all citizens to come out and welcome these survivors and our Hero, Our General, Graff home."

He turned to Ni as the message ended. "I heard about what the Republic did. It's down right wrong."

[Gar]

Ni groaned in frustration at the interruption and yelled out at the sky, "Can I just get just one day without you Jedi ruining the moment?!" She flops on her back in the sand with her arms above her head, glaring up at the sun. "So, Prince Saar. What did the Republic do this time?" she asked dryly.

[Akirapryde]

He dropped down on his knees next to her and smiled, "they didn't tell me how beautiful you were in the sand" he leaned down and moved her hair slightly to the side.

Before she could speak he leaned in and kissed her. It wasn't deep or passionately. It was a simple, humble kiss from a simple and humble man. It was hardly a blink of the eye and it was over. He pulled back and added, "Prince Saar was my uncle. My title, had I not run away would have been Duke." He brushed the same from her face, "but I much prefer Sheriff."

[Gar]

The Zeltron blinked up at him, her mischievous smirk returning. "Is that all you got for me, Sheriff?" she goaded playfully, lifting herself up on her elbows, grabbing the front of his shirt, and pulling him down to her for another kiss. When they pulled away she searched his eyes. "Careful, buddy. I might be a terrorist," Ni joked with a wink, her eyes glittering with suppressed laughter and amusement.

[Akirapryde]

He smiled and leaped up to his feet. "Come on," he said pulling her up with him "we got a dance to go to." He carefully brushed her off and motioned her towards the speeder. "Okay, enough about me. Tell me about you."

[Gar]

Ni turns around and points to a patch of sand on her bottom, teasing him, "You missed a spot." When he asked her about herself she turned away for a moment, replying, "Not much to say, really. All Zeltrons are pretty much alike. When you've met one, you've met them all." Ni carefully, sensually brushed the sand from Kaleb's clothing, lingering near his sensitive areas. "I was born on Zeltros, a planet that encourages the collection of experiences. I left my planet at an early age and I've been traveling the galaxy ever since. I find it is a ~very effective~ way of finding new experiences." She raised her brows pointedly and began to walk to the speeder.
