The silence of the comm poked and prodded at her worried heart until a few seconds later she heard the faint click of static and a rustle before: “… hey babe.”
Tam swallowed hard, “Hey, just checking in.”
“Comms’re all fine. But we should probably have radio silence from now on in.”
“As much as I would give anything to be talking to you right now, whispering into my hand in a Sith Temple on Malachor isn’t really what I had in mind for a romantic date.”
“We haven’t had many of those recently, have we?”
There was a soft chuckle over the comm and brief silence before he responded, voice cut down to the softest whisper now, “You’re telling me that little tryst at Dxun wasn’t good enough for you?”
“Hm.” She hummed appreciatively, the sound catching at the back of her throat. “What I wouldn’t give to be there now.”
She felt something suddenly, a shift in the dynamic that set her heart racing. She hissed and grabbed at the comm on her wrist as if she could pull him back to her.
“Yup, I can see that too,” he said wryly. “Look, talking is probably gonna be really hard in the next few seconds so I may have to-” he swore loudly and there was the sound of a loud collision.
“’m still here,” he was breathing way too hard, “gotta go. Tamara I … I’ll see you around. Here or elsewhere.”
She knew what he meant and wasn’t ready to accept it at all.
“I know, Tam. I do too.” The call cut off and her screen flashed bright orange as it lost connection.
The door opened slowly and a robed woman entered the room, a trail of lightsabers cutting long lines of light into Tam’s vision as they followed the old woman.
“I’m sorry,” Tam said, rounding on her before the other woman could even open her mouth, “but we’re going to have to make this quick. I have to go save someone.”
