Thassar glanced at the green numbers on one of the monitors that indicated time. "Night's over soon. Shouldn't you try to sleep a bit still?"
Involuntarily, Tally let out a yawn. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she said in a witty tone. "A captain's place is on the bridge."
"Wrong. A captain may go down with the ship, but it's pilot's or first mate's place to be on the bridge and inform the captain. The captain is just a figure of authority who mingles with passengers."
"In other words, I should go mingle with your beloved friend? "
"On another thought...", the Chiss looked horrified. "No."
"Guess I win this round of being smart, " Tally mused
"Congratulations. Do you want me to scratch you as a prize?" Thassar asked sarcastically.
"Oh I'd love a prize but I don't think scratching is so great," Tally said. "Maybe if I was Cathar."
"Cuddle then?"
Tally grinned like a fool. "If you're up for it and not afraid to get busted by your bestie," Tally teased
"Oh. I don't care", he said and smirked.
"Good," Tally said, then stood up and walked over to Thassar. She then sat down on his lap like she'd done it a thousand times before, resting her head against his chest while she wrapped her arms around him.
He embraced the captain and smiled. "You are warm, captain", he said and gently stroked her back. "Much warmer than a rifle that I usually carry. And prettier. Though I suppose a rifle would be better in situations when my life's threatened. Speaking of which, you could easily stab me now and I couldn't do anything." He stopped stroking and looked at her. He seemed to be cautious and tense suddenly.
Tally was fully relaxed and let out a content sigh while her back was stroked. She arched her brow and looked up at the Chiss once the romantic comment turned into one of an assassination plot. The Mirialan bore an incredulous look. "Thass," she started in a serious tone. "You're weird," she continued, then rested her head against his chest once more. "But I still like you."
Thassar relaxed and softly kissed her forehead, continuing the stroking. "I like you too, captain. You're much better captain than the ones I've known before. And less bearded."
Tally smiled, her eyes closed. For now, all she had in mind was of how happy she was; all worries gone. Neither could she help but to laugh at Thass comment. "I could always get a fake beard if you miss them," she mused.
"No thank you", he commented. "But you could start smoking cigarras?"
"And get cancer? No thank you. "
The Chiss shrugged and carefully changed his position. "Your loss", he smirked and closed his eyes.
Tally smirked, but made no further comments. Instead, she let the silence take over, enjoying the cuddly moment.
