@ImperiumAeterna didn't want to let it go.
"Let's... let's talk about this more tomorrow, ok?"
There was a lump in her throat.
Their time was wearing thin, she'd known that for a while now, but it didn't make the acceptance any easier.
@ImperiumAeterna Though she had been somewhat expecting it for a while, his words still felt heavy. Like it or not, they were both soldiers, in their own ways, and in a war torn world, there's only so much that can keep a soldier out of battle.
Still, there was denile for the moment, and Jyn+
@ImperiumAeterna ~Prisoner of war....
She'd been there, she had the scars to prove it.
And what he said wasn't completely a lie, because she'd blocked out the memory of it, so that the only times she recalled the horrors, were in her darkest nightmares.~
@ImperiumAeterna ".... Good things, don't always last forever. If it is a warning, all we can do is prepare, and try to take advantage of every moment we have.
And if nothing happens, if it turns out to just be a fluke, then we didn't lose anything either way."
@ImperiumAeterna Even though a slight blush spread across her cheeks, Jyn tried to remain somewhat serious.
"You know I don't need things like that. Just keep yourself safe, and we'll figure it out from there, whether we have to move again, or not."
@ImperiumAeterna the legitimacy of the feeling, but she swallowed it down, at least for the moment.
"It... it doesn't necessarily mean he knows anything, right? There's no reason he'd have any interest in us, we're just, people."
@ImperiumAeterna Vision.
So it hadn't been just a dream. Vader she hadn't heard enough about to be particularly frightened of him, but the fear in Archant's voice was enough to make a cold snake of worry curl up in her stomach.
She knew he was force sensitive, and that only helped to increase+
@ImperiumAeterna "Wherever you want to go, you know I'm with you."
She let a small smile tug at the corners of her mouth, trying to soften the mood.
"We could steal an old cargo ship, travel the outer reaches and live like Jawas. I do know some old folk remedies we could sell, you know."
@ImperiumAeterna flipped a switch.
It had seemed like they were fairly safe on Dantooine. Even if it wasn't the most hidden place, it was still under Rebel control, and the residents were friendly enough. Still... change didn't scare her, and neither did wandering again.+
@ImperiumAeterna "Shhh... whoever it was, he's not here. You're alright..."
Even though she was uncertain, she tried to speak with assurance, just to help him calm down.
"It's ok, it was just a dream, right?"
@ImperiumAeterna it had merely been a dream, but that didn't explain why there seemed to be a blanket of fear and danger over the room.
Finding a place nestled against him, Jyn curled her fingers around his hand in a comforting way, humming tunelss songs, waiting if he wanted to speak or not.
@ImperiumAeterna Content with the fact there wasn't a danger that could be handled by force, she tossed the blaster onto a nearby chair.
"If I wanted you dead, I wouldn't have come running."
Nodding, she crawled in next to him, pulling the blankets tight around them. From what she'd gathered,+
@ImperiumAeterna Slowly and cautiously, she stepped into the room, taking a seat on the foot of Archant's bed. The room seemed cold, but all the windows were closed, and there were still embers in the fireplace. It was an eire, dark, dangerous feeling.
@ImperiumAeterna searching around, trying to find the cause of his panic.
Noticing the state he was in, she lowered her weapon, still wary.
"Archant... what happened? Are you ok?"
Her voice was still hoarse from sleep, and she blinked rapidly, trying to adjust her eyes to the light.+
@ImperiumAeterna Forcing a small smile, she closed her eyes, leaning against him.
Though the words felt nice to hear, she knew they weren't true, and it was out of both of their control.
~Starter for @ImperiumAeterna~
Peace.
Jyn hadn't experienced true peace, since she was old enough to understand the world.
Now, there was still the imminent threat of war, and she was still wanted criminal, but all of that was able to be pushed aside.+
@ImperiumAeterna "Isn't it a little dangerous, though? What if... what if someone finds out? "
If she was to be completely honest, Jyn wasn't sure if she wanted to talk to him, or not. It had been so long, and if what she'd heard was true...
She was afraid to tarnish the memories she had.
