(Continued from HERE)

Cairis was startled, but not badly so, when Sozal caught hold of her.

He'd come out of a terrible sleep; gasped awake and slung himself upright, searching instinctively for a way out of his nightmare.  He'd stared at her, unseeing for a moment - still lost in the bad dream.

When his vision had cleared and focused on her, the horror had remained and he'd caught her up in a tight hug against him.

In an instant, she knew that he'd dreamed something horrible involving her.

She hugged him until the shaking stopped and then coaxed him to lie down again.  She shifted them until his head was pillowed on her chest; the two of them twined around each other.

And then, while she stroked his head, she sang softly:

9: Asking them out on a date

Cairis stared up (and up, and up) at Sozal in astonishment.

She needed to hear it again.  “Could you repeat that?”

A blush dusted his cheeks which interacted with his stripes in an interesting way, but he readily repeated himself with a smile.

“Would you be interested in having dinner with me?” he asked.  “There’s a great restaurant on Tertiary Ring that’s just right for a date.  It isn’t a club and it isn’t a family environment - no kids, ya know?  It’s a good place to go to have a meal and get to know someone.”

Cairis’ ears flicked repeatedly.  “To be clear: you’re asking me on a date?  You want to date me?”

Sozal’s blush faded; his smile intensified.  “I really do.  I’ve been thinking about it ever since you took that class with me to test your medic skills, but I didn’t want to seem like a creep.”

She laughed, amazed.  “I don’t think you could be a creep if you tried.”  She laughed again, sighed, and smiled up at him.  “Yes.  Let’s go on a date together.”

Sozal grinned.  “Great!  Fourth quintant, third cycle?”

She nodded.  “I’ll be free then.  I’ll make sure of it.”

“Me, too.  I’ll come pick you up.”

“You’d be going out of your way.  I can meet you--”

She stopped talking when he bent down toward her.  He slid a hand down her arm, caught hold of her hand, and lifted it so he could press a chaste kiss to the back of her hand.

“I’m sure,” Sozal said, voice quiet and firm.

Razok - Absol - Disaster Pokémon - Dark type

Every time Absol appears before people, it is followed by a disaster such as an earthquake or a tidal wave. As a result, it came to be known as the disaster Pokémon.

Rumored to sense disasters with its horn, it became a target. It fled deep into the mountains.

It senses coming disasters and appears before people only to warn them of impending danger.

For Razok, Absol was the one I chose. Originally as a conquerer, he arrived at Kalyxa to take it over, but came to love the people. Still, his arrival did predict the coming of more Empire ship, and eventually fled into hiding.

He cares, but he always takes on the hardest missions, so usually if he shows up, there’s shit that will probably go down. 

Sozal - Lucario - Aura Pokemon - Steel/Fighting

Lucario reads its opponent’s feelings with its aura waves. It finds out things it would rather not know, so it gets stressed out easily.

By catching the aura emanating from others, it can read their thoughts and movements.

(continued from here)

She came awake to the sensation of fingers moving through her mane.

It tickled enough to draw her out of slumber.  She flicked her ears and shifted around, aware of the delicious warmth of another body beside her.

"Mornings are a delusion of the planet-bound," she mumbled.

She rolled in languid motion to settle against Sozal; pressed her face to his chest and inhaled, drawing in his scent.  She did it again, and then again, and smiled as she relaxed.

Lifting a leg, she slid it over his hip and slung an arm over his side.

7: a hug + kiss combo

Cairis was heading towards the maglev on Tertiary Ring, home from an assignment, when she heard her name called.  Turning, she smiled with unabashed glee to see Sozal walking towards her.  His exceptionally tall, strong form easily made a path through the other Galra in the area.

“Sozal!” she exclaimed, and walked to meet him.

He laughed and lifted her up off her feet; crushed her to him for a hug.  When the embrace relented, Cairis caught hold of his head to hold him steady for her kiss.

It was eager and a little bite-y at first, and then mellowed into something softer and sweeter until, at last, they let the kiss end.

“Welcome home,” Sozal murmured, resting his forehead against hers.

“What a welcome!” Cairis teased, snuzzling against him.  “Put me down before you throw your back out.”
