RE: Stranded

     Ishkan sat calmly as Tawny pummled his side. He knew there was no where for him to escape to, and if he tried getting away, it would just cause more problems. Besides, he knew he deserved it.

     "Bloody good job." she said after sitting down. Ishkan continued to stare out of the front viewing port, refusing to look at Tawny.
     "Thanks." he said after a couple of minutes.

RE: Stranded

Tawny sighed as she pulled her legs up onto the chair. Part of her wanted to punch him again, but a sideways glance told her that he was all ready pretty beat up.

Dangit. She wanted to stay mad at him, but she had spent up the majority of her rage in her beating him up and whatever was left had simmered away afterwards.

But still, she was hurt.

And there was something that was bugging her.

She turned to face Ishkan, keeping her face stone cold. "Okay, so if you were sent to kill me, why haven't you done it yet? If you really only needed to keep me alive long enough to get back to your ship, then why haven't you killed me? I mean, you have my blaster, and there's no where for me to run to. So... Why?"

RE: Stranded

     Tawny was looking at him, wondering why he hadn't killed her. He wasn't entirely sure himself, other than the fact that he had no reason to kill her. He wasn't sure if he would have killed her, even had his ship still been there waiting on him.

     "I... I don't know." he said simply, reaching up to wipe something that was in the corner of his eye. As soon as his hand touched his forehead, he knew what it was. The scale on his face was still ripped and bleeding.

     He set the auto pilot to go to one of the nearest mining facilities, and then stumbled into the back to get the first aid kit. The arrow was still in his leg, and he had to do something about the scale on his face. He didn't say anything more to Tawny about why he hadn't killed her.

RE: Stranded

Tawny watched Ishkan  as he stumbled to the back, in her anger she had completely forgotten that he was injured and a small prickling of guilt was creeping up around her mind.

She forced it down.

She sat in her seat, staring forward, for a while longer before sighing and standing up, walking to the back to watch Ishkan.

She was pretty sure he didn't know she was there until she spoke up. "So where's this thing headed?"

RE: Stranded

(Sorry, I've been really busy the past few days. Maybe I can get back into the swing of things now.)

     "Well, there's a course set for one of the many local mining platforms. It's one of the safer ones, as far as I know. Last I heard, they even allowed it to be used as a layover for civilians. So, I am hoping we can trade this ship in and maybe get something that will get us farther. I'm afraid this is going to fall apart." he replied.

     He bent over and examined the arrow in his leg. It was embedded deeply, and he was pretty sure it was barbed. He tried pulling on it a little, but it wouldn't back out. He sighed, got a tongue depresser and bit down on it, and then forceably pushed the arrow head the rest of the way through his leg. He then broke off the shaft, and took the rest out easily.
     After getting the bleeding to stop, he wrapped it, and then started working on the wound on his head. He couldn't see it very well, and was having difficulty working on it.

RE: Stranded

(Meh, s'okay. I've been doing the art for some webcomic anyway so that's kept me busy.)

Tawny watched him take care of his leg with a small twitch of her mouth. It wasn't the kind of twitch you got when holding back laughter, it was the kind of twitch you got when you were stopping your mouth from going into a grimace.

She was about to turn away and go back to the front after he finished his leg but paused when he started to work on his head.

He struggled with bandaging the wound for about ten seconds before Tawny sighed, rolled her eyes upwards, and walked over.

She knelt down beside him and lightly pushed the bandages to his wound with her good hand, holding them there while he wrapped them.

"There." Tawny murmured as he tied it before pulling her hand away and standing up.

As she sat back down in her seat, vaguely aware of Ishkan walking up behind her, she reached into her pocket and pulled her photograph out, looking it over.

It was a bit more crumpled up than it had been, but not too bad.

RE: Stranded

     "There." Tawny has said as he had tied the bandage around his head. "Thanks." he had murmered, unsure if she heard him as she stood up. She then turned and went to sit back in her seat.

     It took a couple minutes for Ishkan to get his feet under him, and make his way back up to the front. Once he made it up there, he saw Tawny was looking at the little piece of paper. He finally saw that it was a photograph.
     "Who is that?" he asked, as he moved forward and sat back down in the seat next to her.

     The ship was starting to draw close to the mining facilities. Ishkan could see the one he was shooting for. Avoiding any conflicts, they should arrive there within ten minutes. He silently thought to himself how he couldn't wait to get out of this system and go somewhere nicer.

RE: Stranded

"Who is that?" Tawny glanced out of the corner of her at Ishkan as he sat down.

She turned her eyes back to the photograph, they were both smiling widely out at her, her father's hand resting on her younger self's shoulder as the long braid she had had back then blew in the breeze, she absently smoothed the piece of paper.

She licked her lips, her mouth suddenly dry, and her human eye became slightly misted.

She silently slid the picture back into her pocket and pulled her legs onto the chair, wrapping her arm around them.

Finally, after a few minutes of silence, she spoke.

"He is... Was, my" She gulped and took a shaky breath. "My father." Her voice faltered and cracked, but she forced herself to keep calm. A single tear made it out of her eye and down her face. She made no motion to wipe it away. She let her chin fall onto her knees.

RE: Stranded

     "He was my father..." she had answered through tears. He watched as a tear slid down her face, leaving a small reflective tail upon her cheeck.
     "What happened?" Ishkan asked, hoping she wouldn't mind.

     He thought about his own parents. His mother still lived back in the wamps of Gekel, and his father was a "Lyshia" (or assassin as the rest of the universe knew them). He hadn't seen much of his father while he was growing up. His father was always coming and going, never sticking around for more than a month before heading off on another mission.

     Ishkan had no feeling when thinking about his father. How could you miss something that was never there to begin with?

RE: Stranded

Tawny wiped the tear off her face and sniffed.

"I was fifteen, we were on Menos. I never got all of the details of why it happened, but I had wandered off not much farther than twenty feet when it happened. The next thing I know..." She trailed off, shaking her head with a hollow laugh. "Bang."

"It's funny, he's been... Dead for eight years, you'd think it wouldn't hit me as hard now."

She turned her head slightly and glanced at Ishkan before turning back to the front. "But... He was all I had left."
