Oh gosh, Deskyl probably doesn't mean it that way, but - she's all gooey and fluttery and aaaa thisisnice...

Diana's room is...it feels very her, in a way?  There's not much in there, it's often bare metal, not even shiny bare metal, but what's in there was chosen with care; there's a shelf of puzzle cubes of different configurations, an armor stand...A shelf of fiction, a nonzero amount of which is not for younglings, a few stacks of flimsiplasts scattered around the room...Diana's indulged herself with a private fresher, apparently...Emergency cut-through to the command deck...Small desk and chair with table light...The lights in here are dimmer than shipboard standard.

"I'd've cleaned up if I knew you were going to be coming over," she giggles, because this place is the opposite of a mess, really.

DZ has not followed them in, so Deskyl is fairly limited in how she can respond to that, but she chuckles and kisses Diana's forehead and lays her on the bed, and sits on the edge and gives her a questioning look.

Diana nods and gently applies handholding to the communication problem!

...that's not communication, that's just Diana being gay?  Oh well!

Well, if handholding is what Diana wants, handholding she shall have.

And kissing, and maybe some hairpetting, those seem pretty reliably well-received.

They are reliably well-received!  Diana is so very incredibly gay and are there other things Deskyl would like to do with a 75%-melted Jedi puddle?  She'd certainly like to have things done to her!  The scoop was really good...

There are certainly other things she has in mind! Given Diana's melted and not especially communicative state she's going to move very slowly on them, checking to see how various things are received before progressing, but progress she will, until - assuming enthusiasm continues - there are rather fewer articles of clothing involved here, and rather more places determined to be in bounds for rather more kinds of touch.

Oh Force yes the enthusiasm continues, Diana doing her best to be cooperative and pleasing; she's had dreams about this and she's not quite sure this isn't one but she wants Deskyl to touch her, wants to touch Deskyl, wants Deskyl to experience enjoyable things...are there things Deskyl likes to experience, when this happens?  There's quite a lot Diana might like to experience, judging by some of those books...

Deskyl doesn't object to Diana touching her, and it's not too hard to find spots that make her gasp, but after a minute she takes Diana's arm, kisses the inside of her wrist, lays it down, and goes back to what she was doing, ignoring further touch in favor of making Diana squirm.

!

...?

A tension passes out of Diana's body as Deskyl makes clear that she expects, prefers, no reciprocation, Diana a bit befuddled for a moment but nonetheless letting Deskyl continue to have her way with her; she's surprisingly quiet for how dramatic the rest of her reactions seem to get.

Oh, good.

More of that, how about.

That sounds wonderful.  Then sleepycuddling?

Yes, good.

Deskyl is careful not to wake Diana when she leaves in the middle of the night to practice her katas and enhancement exercises, as has been her schedule recently; she's similarly careful when she slips back into the bed in the small hours of the morning, so that Diana doesn't wake alone.

- mhbl where's Deskyl-pillow oh there's Deskyl-pillow that's better stay here -

Diana wakes up to find herself cuddling Deskyl, and pinches herself, because she's almost sure she's dreaming.

But she's not.

Nope, she's not, Deskyl is right here, fast asleep. (She sleeps with her lightsaber on, apparently.)

Then Diana might just stay in bed for a little while; it's totally not a frivolous use of the Force to telekinetically prepare breakfast if you're stuck in bed, right?

This is noticeably easier than it would have been twelve hours ago; her skill at telekinesis per se hasn't improved, but she finds that it's easier to tell where things that she wants to move are, and to devote her full attention to moving them just as she wants to, and to plan ahead to avoid wasted actions.

Thank you, Force; Diana appreciates your help with everything she's done and will do very much.  Are there ways she could prepare herself today to help the Force in turn?

She should go have a look at what's happening around where Deskyl's ship was crashed, actually. Carefully, it's potentially rather dangerous.

Well then.  Let's go see what the dangerous thing is...

And perhaps field-test her blastbracer.

Deskyl wakes as she's getting underway, and comes out to the bridge to see what's going on. (She hasn't bothered to put a shirt on first.)

"Good morning.  I made breakfast; the Force says there's something maybe-dangerous we should pay attention to near your escape craft's crash site.  I normally jump on those, but you should probably have a say, here.  Since good money's on it being a you-related thing.  Do you want breakfast first so your brain can wake up?"

Deskyl looks somewhat confused at the suggestion that she might need breakfast in order to be functional, but does grab a plate - and her shirt - before going to get DZ, who brings the notes she transcribed overnight when she joins them on the bridge.

    "She says she's inclined to assume the Force knows what it's doing, ma'am."

(R4 is also on the bridge, doing most of the actual piloting and living his dream as Diana feeds him nav data.  Instead of breakfast.  Because droids can't eat breakfast.)

"Then we'll continue this course."

    "Yes ma'am. And here are Master Deskyl's notes on the presumed limitations of telekinesis."
