Thread: More Little Moments

  1. #41
    This was it.

    Years of faithful service, years of fast friendship. Years of camaraderie. It was all to be undone in this moment. Dan would find some form of revenge to take for the intrusion that Meiers had unwittingly been a part of. What had started as an innocent comment had spiraled out of control to this.

    Slowly, like a man walking to the gallows, the Alliance General opened his door, stepping out, and another moment later found him opening the rear door for Senator Meorrrei.

    One last time he tried to veer her from this doomed venture.

    "Do you not think that they would like their rest? It is only a week since they've returned."

    Taataani turned slowly to hear his latest protest, her ears raising to drink up the foolish attempt to dissuade her.

    "Generral..." she purred, saccharine hiding the poison. "...how manjy cubss have jyou rrajissed?"

    Taken slightly aback at that, Meiers pursed his lips as his frown only deepened, and he looked away while closing her door.

    "I've none, Ma'am."

    He perhaps would've liked to have little ones of his own, but the career that he'd forged and the cause that he'd dedicated himself to left little time for anything else.

    He made a gesture for her to lead the way then, opting to finally concede and halt his attempts to pull her from what she'd set her mind upon.

    "I will trust your judgement then," he gave in.

    Taataani's smile broadened to show pointed tips of teeth.

    "And jyourr trrusst wjill be well placed, Generral. jYou wjill fjind the luckjy couple rreljieved that jI have come to dote on thejirr cub and afforrd them that much-needed rresst jyou keep talkjing about."

    She extended a hand for the General to take, so that he might escort her in.

    Even despite it all, General Meiers Brecklin was still a gentleman at heart, and he extended his arm for the Senator.

    Escorting her along the short walkway that led to the front door of Dan and s'Il's small temporary housing, both stopped. Without pause Meiers reached his free hand out, giving the door a gentle few raps with his knuckles.

    It was not necessarily a short amount of time before the sound of a lock disengaging reached the ears of those outside.

    Slowly the door opened to reveal a weary mother fast in the throes of near madness. Lok s'Ilancy blinked slightly, unsure of what she was now seeing wasn't simply a trick of her sleep-deprived brain.

    "Meiers?"

    Her voice was soft, as if she was afraid any volume higher would bring the galaxy crashing down upon her head.

    A hand wiped across her eyes as her gaze moved to the woman on the General's arm.

    "Taataani... ?"

    Normally intent on keeping others from addressing her in the familiar, it was a right afforded to the few she knew as friends, and the Senator's brilliant smile confirmed Loklorien s'Ilancy's status.

    "Ja irra korra'nai mjy darrljing."

    Detaching from Brecklin's arm, she embraced the Lupine fully, placing a kiss to each cheek. Only then did she hold her friend at arm's length to appraise her.

    "Saanjarra'ss grracess, jyou arre sspent mjy dove. Come, let Taataani take carre of jyou and ssee thjiss adorrable cub!"

    The hug caught her off guard, and the Lupine could only stare blankly at the bubbling Cizerack for long enough to give a befuddled and thoroughly confused nod.

    "... I, um, well... "

    And before she knew it, Taataani was past the door's threshold and striding purposefully inside, leaving a harried General Brecklin in her wake.

    Wrapping her arms around herself, s'Il blew out a long breath before finding her voice once more.

    "Whatever you've done now, I truly believe he is going to kill you for it."

    For his part, Meiers only looked on helplessly, and gave a solemn nod at Loklorien's summation of Dan's most likely reaction.

    "The Senator insisted," was the only explanation he could offer, and as he stepped inside, his hands moved to clasp behind him, his eyes following after Madame Meorrrei.

    "Where is he?"

    "Who's at the door?"

    A gruff voice sounded from close by.

    "If it's another well-wisher with a fruit basket just send them away with our thanks."

    "And therre jiss the handssome arr'fai rressponssjible forr thjiss wonderrful ljittle bundle."

    Taataani charged headlong into her affections like a reek, applying wet kisses to General Dan Thrule as if he was simply next in line.

    "And at jyourr sstateljy age, even? How vjirrjile. Nomaani'ss forrtune wjith thjiss one, no doubt."

    The Senator called back to her Jedi friend.

    "Loklorrjien, jyou've been hjidjing thjiss crreaturre frrom me forr too long, how have we not been jintrroduced?"

    Handsome arr'fai. Stately age. Virile.

    The beginnings of an amused yet still exhausted smile had started to curl at her lips, strategically hidden by a hand at her mouth to cover the small, forced cough she let out. She stood beside Meiers, both watching Taataani's attentions so completely placed upon Dan.

    But, it was best not to keep the Senator waiting too long for an answer, and letting her features fall back into their tired set, she spoke up with the only reply she could think of.

    "I... don't know. You never asked to meet him?"

  13. #53
    He was a General of the Alliance. A General from the days when they were nothing but the Rebellion. He was the head of the Starfighter Corps, and had commanded powerful cruisers into battle against the Empire over the span of decades.

    And yet here and now, Meiers felt complicit in some nameless yet horrible crime, and he looked on with an apologetic glint to his eyes.

    "I..."

    "...I don't..."

    "...what's..."

    "...what?"

    Taken by surprise completely in the assault of praises and kisses, Dan tried to break from the alien woman's embrace, finding no easy way of doing so.

    "Madam, I really don't think that..."

    "Whjy wouldn't jI wjissh to meet jyourr man?"

    Clutching him like a prize, Taataani herded Dan towards s'Il and Brecklin with insistence.

    "jIf he'ss won jyourr hearrt, that'ss a battle worrth hearrjing about, rrou'a. Tell me thjiss herro'ss name and how jyou conquerred ssuch a prrjize forr jyourr own."

    The Senator looped her tail around Dan's middle, clearly not willing to let the ritual of introductions slide on a technicality.

    They were all in this together now, and s'Il brought folded hands out, one gesturing to Taataani, and the other to Dan.

    "Taataani, this is my husband, Dan Thrule."

    The Lupine pulled in a deep breath then. What was about to come next was no small feat, and she would need every ounce of power her tired lungs could provide.

    "Dan, this is Senator Taataani Fai'sheea Igaarrai Meorrrei, daughter of Sirraaithi Meorrrei, Rrou'fai of House Meorrrei, and Baroness Executor of Koensayr-MeorrreiCorp."

    Was that all of them? By the Force she prayed that was all of them.

    Any other questions that Taataani had posed were suddenly pushed away from thought as a small cry rose up from the back of the house, and s'Il snapped her head in the direction of the steadily growing wail of a waking little one. He had only been asleep for an hour; certainly not the amount of time that she and Dan had been hoping his nap would last for.

    She was moving on instinct then, unthinking as she gave a wave behind her.

    "Excuse me... "

    With a pat to Dan's chest, Taataani smiled and released him from her possessive grasp, untwining her tail as she followed the all-too-familiar sound of a crying child. She hurried to catch up with Lok, her tail swishing as her ears perked.

    "Let me ssee thjiss wonderrful ljittle cub of jyourrss!"

  18. #58
    With the whirlwind of Taataani Meorrei - for the moment - elsewhere, Meiers straightened his back, his eyes tracking to Dan. The poor man seemed to still be reeling from the manic attentions and immediate affections of the Senator, and it caused Meiers to reach out a hand to lay on his counterpart's shoulder in a show of support.

    "Steady now, Son. That one isn't easy to take in all at once."

    Dan flinched, absently wiping away one of the wet kisses planted on his cheek.

    "Who in the devil is that woman?"

    He winced, suddenly.

    "And why do I have this headache?"

    Dan turned, looking at Brecklin through narrowed eyes.

    "This is all your fault, you know that?"

  20. #60
    And now it began. Meiers gave a wince of his own, slightly looking away from his old friend.

    "It was an accident, Dan. I swear to you, that's the truth."

    The hand was taken from Dan's shoulder to rest on the wooded chairback of a small dining table.

    "I made mention that you guys had recently come back from... " he waved a hand in the direction that Loklorien and Senator Meorrrei had disappeared. "... you know.

    "Next thing I knew she was insisting on a visit."

    At Dan's look, Meiers gave a tired sigh.

    "I know," he looked off toward a window, "... my fault."

    He stirred a bit then, suddenly remembering that he'd managed to at least not come empty handed, and reaching into the inside pocket of his longcoat, the General pulled a metal tube out. An etched series of graceful lines and aurebesh ran down its' length, and even the stopper at the tip matched the motif. One word was larger than the rest, and the bold aurebesh letters that read ENDOR seemed to compliment the softer designs and descriptive words while at the same time being altogether separate.

    "But I did bring you this. Never seen you smoke one a day in your life, but I'm told this is quality."
