Characters: Maldwyn Gof and Kira Carson
Prompt: “You should have seen it.”
Maldwyn frowned when he stepped into the bedroom and saw no sign of Kira. He was sure he had seen her come in ahead of him. He pushed away the urge to sigh heavily, feeling disappointed at missing a chance to be alone with her. He knew what they were getting into pursuing a relationship together, and how it was imperative it remain a secret. Because of Kira's origins they wouldn't be allowed to even have the sham of a relationship the Jedi Council permitted between Order members.
Having to constantly sneak around was enough to make Maldwyn consider walking away from the Order entirely. He was almost sure he would, if Kira asked.
Oh yes, he was far more attached than any member of the Council would approve of.
Stepping further into the room, Maldwyn slipped his outer robe off and hung it up on a peg. He was just bending over to unbuckle his boots when he felt something poke him in the side. It surprised him so much he lost his balance and fell over. Instead of getting back to his feet, Maldwyn rolled over on to his backside and looked to see what had touched him.
The room was empty. He was about to reach out with the Force to try and sense any other nearby presence before Kira shimmered into view. She grinned at him, laughing heartily.
"You're face was priceless Mald," she said between giggles, "you should have seen it.
"From his spot on the floor Maldwyn smiled at her mirth. She had been ecstatic to get her hands on a working personal stealth generator and had taken several opportunities to abuse it for her own amusement.
Kira laughed for a moment longer before reaching her hand out to help him up. "Let me give you a hand Tough Guy."
Maldwyn took her hand but, instead of pushing himself to his feet, he pulled her toward him. Kira fell into his lap with a surprised gasp. He wrapped his arms around her, burying his nose in her hair and breathing her scent in deeply.
Slipping her arms around his torso, Kira relaxed against his chest. "Everything okay Mald?"
He sighed contentedly. "Everything's perfect Kira."
