new year drabbles 5/?

featuring @lhunuial's Domi and my Var'lin

Not sure if at this point Var'lin has already delved deeper into his dark side studies, but let's just assume his intention aren't as pure as Domi's (hey, how do you do, fellow jedi archeologist? I am totally NOT here to search for hidden Sith artifacts! nice to meet you!)

~~~

The narrow hallway lead into another room with an altar and overgrown temple walls, adorned with more ancient writings and paintings depicting the history of these ruins. Domi was so excited by her breakthrough that she followed the carvings without even looking at her surroundings. This was the piece of the puzzle she had been looking for since she arrived on the jungle moon.

Her fingers trailed along the carved letters as she translated the text, following the revelations of the ancient Jedi down the temple stairs and through yet another hallway, loosing track of time as she worked. She didn't notice the sound of footsteps not her own, not even the force as it whispered to her of the other presence in these ruins.

The next room was partially caved in, and she had to duck under the vines hanging from the roof to get to the next section. There was something on the ground! A piece of a crystal or...

Domi almost collided with someone who was also reaching for the glowing object on the ground. Shocked, she gasped and stumbled back, instinctively reaching for her lightsaber. Before she could ignite it, her senses had already told her that there was no need to defend herself.

The other Jedi seemed to have a similar thought process, since he lowered his saberstaff and exhaled deeply. “By the stars!” He shook his head in disbelief. “You scared the living force out of me.”

The situation was so absurd that Domi had to laugh, and the Jedi made a noise that was part snort and part chuckle. He was about her age, handsome, a few cybernetics on his temple glowing in the dim light.

Apologizing profusely, Domi was just about to ask him what another Jedi was doing here, when he bent down to retrieve the glowing object from the rubble.

They both stared at the holocron. It's soft blue glow had turned red in his hands.

February Day 5

prompt: “let me see”

character(s): Kadreth and his new master Domi (@lhunuial)

A/N: big, clumsy padawan has a new master, building trust takes time :)

"How long were you going to try to hide that from me?"

Kadreth winced and stopped in his tracks, slowly turning around to face his master. He had never heard her use such a stern voice with him before, and now she was watching him with her arms crossed in front of her chest and an expression that didn't leave any room for excuses.

"I'm sorry, master." He hung his head in shame. "I will have the healers look at it."

It was so embarrassing to think how much effort he had put into hiding his injury. Of course she knew. She'd probably known all along. The lightsaber burn on his shoulder was throbbing with pain, but her disappointment hurt so much more.

"It's just a scratch," he quickly added, eager to get out from under her knowing gaze before she could ask any questions. He really didn't want to explain to her how he had cut himself. How stupid he had been. How overconfident in his own skill. A Jedi shouldn't feel the need to show off....

Domi sighed, shook her head and took a few steps until she stood right in front of him. She was so tiny, she only came up to his shoulder, right where his wound was hidden under his robes. But no matter her physical size, he had always been looking up to her.

“Let me see,” she said, more kindly.

Feeling the blood rush to his face, Kadreth nodded and complied wordlessly. He took off his outer robe and stiffly pulled his shirt over his head, wincing again, this time from the pain as he peeled away the cloth, revealing an ugly patch of burnt skin. He grit his teeth at the smell.

Domi's hand was warm and gentle as it touched his arm. Relief flooded him almost immediately, along with a sense of calm and understanding as he looked down at her smile.

"Just a scratch," she confirmed, and he found that he was smiling back at her.

What would Silvass say if Domi ever talked to him about the crush she used to have on him? And how she felt like a third wheel at times when in his and Naya's presence? She has matured since then, though. She is more than happy with the way her life is now and she is grateful for their friendship, which she treasures. But she would probably think she needs to talk to him about it to clear the air and to be at peace about it.

Good news! I have been searching my files and I just found the rp. I knew we did this, but I couldn't find it at first. Can't believe this was 8 years ago omg...

"I love sitting here." Domi handed him a cup of hot tea that he carefully sipped.

“I can see why,” Silvass agreed. It was lovely, but the best thing about it was that his friend was here with him. He noticed that Domi seemed more at peace than she had the last time they'd seen each other. She seemed.... different, he decided.

He told her so.

Domi pulled her legs up. A smile appeared on her face and she averted her gaze to stare out of the window, collecting her thoughts before responding to his comment. "I feel different," she told him with complete honestly. "I feel more like myself, I think. Comfortable, at peace. Not so afraid anymore."

She returned to look at him. "Is it that noticeable?" He still looked quite the same, still had that lovely smile upon his face, that gentle look in his eyes. It was quite comforting to feel his aura in the Force, so calm and peaceful, but she found she no longer needed it to feel calm herself.

“Yes,” he nodded and smiled at her over his tea. “And I love seeing you happy, more than anything.”

The change was subtle, but he had always been able to read her well. It seemed as if there was a great calm in her that had not been there before. “May I ask what has changed, Domi?

Team Jedi, together again. :)

Some days it isn't easy....

... to be in Naya's shoes.

I can't draw for shit. But this turned out kinda cute so here you have it in case you need a laugh (I'm so sorry for butchering your characters, lhunuial, amirattus, kaosstar and chacah).

This was inspired by the work of a great artist, who I hope will never lay eyes upon this hideous knock-off.
