Room 424 [late evening]

[momslilassassin]

His headache had finally cleared up, so Ben was trying to catch up on his robotics work this evening.

Well, that was his story, anyway. It wasn't like he slept more than a few hours a night. The door was closed, though, so the sound didn't carry down the hall.

[OOC: For the girl.]

"Then you'd better get used to me being here tonight," Tahiri informed him, snuggling closer.

[momslilassassin]

"Do you steal covers?" he asked.

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri bumped his shoulder lightly with her forehead. "No. And I don't need that much of them either."

[momslilassassin]

"Because you're very short," Ben teased.

[weetuskenraider]

"You're making up for that. Stop growing," Tahiri said lazily.

[momslilassassin]

"I'll get right on that," Ben said with a laugh as he closed his eyes for a second. "I don't want to be more than a foot taller than you."

[weetuskenraider]

"You'd have to levitate me to kiss me without getting a neck cramp," Tahiri said. She thought it was a practical argument.

[momslilassassin]

"No neck cramping way," Ben said, trying to steal a kiss.

[weetuskenraider]

Oh, if that was what he wanted, he could have one.

"Cute," Tahiri murmured against his lips.

[momslilassassin]

"I work on it," he said, nipping down on her lower lip.

[weetuskenraider]

He was rewarded (if you wanted to call it that) with a tiny whimper, and Tahiri trying to snuggle a little closer. "Dedicated worker."

[momslilassassin]

"I like getting things right," he murmured, trailing a finger around the shell of her ear.

[weetuskenraider]

"Keep doing what you're doing then," Tahiri said, and then that shiver prompted her to do much better things with her mouth than keep talking.

[momslilassassin]

Her shiver made him shiver--one of the things no one had ever mentioned to him about potential dating another Jedi--and he tried to tamp down his emotions so they didn't end up in another cycle of flailing.

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri realized the possible side effect herself a few moments later when, a little light-headed, she tried to tighten her hold on him in response. So they were still figuring out some of the quirks here -- it had been a while.

[momslilassassin]

"Doing okay?" he asked, coming up for breath.

[weetuskenraider]

She might have been just a touch dazed-looking, but she was practically beaming at him. "Doing astral, thanks. You?"

[momslilassassin]

"Much better," he said. "I like having you around."

Which was a long way for him to have come, really.

[weetuskenraider]

It was, and her relief was almost palpable. "Good, because I'm comfortable," Tahiri told him with a teasing glint in her eyes. At the moment, and in general with him.

[momslilassassin]

"Then stick around as long as you like," Ben said, meaning it both ways, too.

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri grinned and leaned up to kiss him on the cheek. "Okay."

[momslilassassin]

Ben let out a soft little sigh and closed his eyes. "This is nice."

[weetuskenraider]

"Uh huh." Tahiri's fingers trailed up to trace his hairline. "I missed this."

[momslilassassin]

"I wasn't exactly ready for contact for a while," he murmured.

[weetuskenraider]

She moved her hand to about where she remembered one of the fading marks on his chest was. "I know. Been there too, remember?"
