"Sandwiches it is. You can head up, if you'd like to get settled in, I'll have RB bring them up."

Permalink

"Thank you."

The room is fairly small, but nicely decorated; the bed is a good size for the two of them, and the desk is arranged so they can both use it as a dining table, if one of them sits on the end of the bed to do it.

The droid follows silently with their luggage, deposits it neatly by the foot of the bed, and returns downstairs without comment.

Permalink

Ekkreth glances after the droid but doesn't comment.

Permalink

He comes back a little while later with the promised sandwiches. "Can I do anything else for you, sir, ma'am?"

Permalink

 

"No, we're good."

Permalink

He nods, almost more of a very shallow bow, and leaves them alone.

Permalink

Ekkreth half-collapses onto the bed and sighs.

Permalink

 

Karzel slides onto it from the other side and lays down and hugs her.

Permalink

She lets him.

Permalink

"Are you alright?" he asks after a little while.

Permalink

He continues hugging her.

Eventually he gets up and brings the sandwiches.

Permalink

He does too.

A few days later they can be found at the library.

It's clear from the first glance where Daisy gets her name; most of her torso and upper arms are decorated with flowers made of enameled metal in a variety of pleasingly-arranged colors. She doesn't approach them immediately, first dropping off a stack of books and datacards with the librarian and receiving a different stack in return.

"Ekkreth and Karzel?"

Permalink

"Yes--oh, you're lovely."

Permalink

"Thank you," she grins. "Are you ready to go?"

Permalink

"All right."

She's got the same speeder Dusk used, parked in the lot a few spots down from the library; she shows them where it is and says she'll wait there for them.

Permalink

They arrive after less than an hour.

Permalink

And off they can go. It's two hours to the fork, and ten minutes later they pass swirls of metal incorporated into an apparently natural rockfall, similar in style to Daisy's flowers.

Permalink

"Lovely."

Permalink

Daisy isn't close enough to hear or comment.

They pass a dozen or so more pieces of art, various abstract combinations of metal and stone, on the remaining two hours of the trip.

Pradnakt may be a Sith but she's got good taste.
