@Elfie @lady-lux Kaelaen looked between Seri and Nami. "You two... Go to bed. You deserve rest." She paused, a smirk tracing her lips. "Captain's quarters has the best bed." She added. "I will check out the Twi'lek and see if she had left any surprises." She paused and glanced at the pilot. "And make sure the idiot doesn't do anything stupid." Jura grumbled. "You are still sore about loosing the last Pazaak game..."
Spoiler: Picture Olena noticed that the woman was an older one, definetly not the one they captured. But there was some resemblance. She checked the house, walking aroun, not that big place but she found no one else.
@majus @lady-lux “Be careful, if you do.” Seri touches Kaelaen’s shoulder, eyes full of guilt and concern. “I don’t know where she was holed up but… she came out swinging. She takes a few steps back, lingering by the doorway, unsure of her place now. She knows how appealing the captain’s bed looked, but can she really bear to us it?
@majus @Elfie Straightening up, Nami has to steady herself against the wall; rubbing the back of her neck as she gets her bearings. Where was the way out again – ? And she notices Seri seeming a little lost as well. She makes her way over. “I was gonna head back to my ship,” she says, offering to take Seri’s hand, “but right now I’d take anywhere I can lie down. Would you mind…helping me not fall down along the way? Doesn’t matter to where.”
@majus @lady-lux Seri detaches herself from the doorway, suffering a little tilt in her balance - she really is tired. There’s every chance she’ll be the one falling down. She takes Nami’s hand gratefully, though the contact is wrapped up in the same feelings of guilt and trepidation. Is this really the time to confess exactly what she’s done? Is that really fair? “Course.” She nods, touching Nami’s forearm with her other hand, should she have her own wobble. “Let’s just…” She pauses, desperately wanting to be away from here. But she’s not the one who’s been out providing for them all, and she’s not the one who’s been properly tending to Jura. “I can show you where the captain’s room is. It’s closer. If - if that would help.”
@majus @Elfie Thoughts swirl drowsily in Nami’s head. Is it her imagination that Seri seems hesitant, reluctant? She’s not sure. The way everyone talked about the captain’s bed made it sound comfortable. The captain…who was the—? Thassco. Thassco was the captain. Thassco’s bed. A chill down her spine pushes her back to queasy consciousness. Seri is still waiting for an answer. She shakes herself, and tries to smile. “…Wherever you like,” she says, as bright and reassuring as she can manage. “Wherever you’re comfortable, anywhere at all – I don’t mind if we have to walk.”
@majus @lady-lux (Thought I’d roll for Seri’s response in the interest of fairness, see if she picks up on anything!) Seri pauses, lips parted as she considers. Nami seems fine, doesn’t she? And yet, earlier neither of them wanted to stay on this ship; and there she is, saying I don’t mind if we have to walk… “If… you’re sure. I - I could really do with being away from here. Just for a bit.” She glances to the side, feeling conflicted. “It’s not been a good day.” Taking a breath, she tries to look a little more put-together, straightening up. “There is some stuff I found in the captain’s cabin. It wasn’t a complete disaster. But that can keep till tomorrow. Let me walk you back to your ship?”
@majus @Elfie Nami nods – relieved, still a little shaken. “Of course. Sounds – sounds like a plan.” She focuses what energy she has on keeping her legs under her, trying not to lean on Seri too much; but giving up on any sense of direction in favour of being guided away from here.
Satisfied their security wasn't compromised for now, Olena would go to retrieve her men and their prisoner. "You boys go make sure Jackie is comfortable. I need to talk with this one." Once Trisk and Dew were gone, Olena sat the farmgirl down in the living room, before sitting across from her. The least she could do was meet the other woman in the eye and try to soften the blow by being honest. "Your father and brother, they were the other men in the house? I'm sorry, but they were killed in the fight." The vixen grew silent, allowing the wounded person - probably both physically and mentally - to process her words before continuing. "Is there somewhere you would like their bodies to be kept until they can be buried?"
Spoiler: Perception 8+2(persuasion) Vs DC 10 As Nami talked, Seri noticed something was not right. It was only due to her own experience, she realised it - Nami, was not comfortable with prospect of going to this ship's captain's quarters. She felt there was more to it, but with her own mixed feelings, she was to unfocused to catch what it was...
The young woman was put on the chair, She had to push herself, with her hands, not to slide down. She winced from pain then flared at Olena. "Preferably, on bodies of their killers." She snarled. "And I would be really glad, if it included yours."
@majus @lady-lux Seri pushes herself to keep going, even with a growing pressure in her head - a feeling of tiredness and fatigue steadily draining her of will and energy. But she has Nami to focus on - Nami, who’s holding them all together at great cost to herself. Nami, who’s done so much to look after them. She guides them both through the corridors of the ship, then down towards the ramp, drawing closer to The Paraselene. “Listen.” She begins, a little cautiously, “You must be beyond exhausted. Will you let me take care of you? You’ve got to rest, Nami.”
@majus @Elfie Tired as she is, Nami can always feel guilty. You just got thrown into all this, she wants to say. I should be looking after you… But she can’t argue with what Seri’s saying. Barely able to keep her eyes open, she just nods with a smile. “Seems like you already are taking care of me,” she says softly. “Thank you.” Her hand seeks out Seri’s shoulder to give a comforting squeeze, to feel the warmth of contact as her other senses fade in her drowsiness.
@majus @lady-lux Kriff, she’s about as tired as I am. Are we even going to make it much further? Seri continues to take the lead, slipping an arm around Nami’s waist, to let her better support the other woman. She’s so very beyond fatigue, that the proximity to the blue beauty barely registers with her. “Then I’ll carry - carry on.” She mumbles, taking leaden steps up the entry ramp of Nami’s Paraselene, leading them inside. “You’re the Doc, but even you need rest. I’ll just get us to your room and then I’ll… I’ll find somewhere to…” She trails off, not even sure if she’s talking to Nami or herself, peering groggily around the ship for Nami’s quarters.
