Scout shuddered. "Who invited that into our conversation?" she asked. "Erin has the emotional range of a teaspoon. And I'd strangle her if she had the same romantic attraction for you like she does Nait. I'm only barely holding back now." Scout stiffled a yawn. "So what do you think, dearest, can you agree to my conditions or is that too steep for you?"

Naos
I smiled "Minus the "no knocking people out" part...I think I'll manage." I replied as I took her hand and gently kissed it, before letting go again
My dream...my one true dream...its finally coming true. But I pray to the Force that nothing ruins it this time.

Scout giggled, and wrapped her arms around him, leaning all the way out of her seat.She kissed his neck, laughing as the joy bubbled inside of her. "I love you, Blondie," she said. "But if I have to flirt with other people in the line of duty, no hard feelings, okay?" She kissed him full on the lips and looked at him with a sparkle in her eyes that hadn't been there since she was younger, before her fourteenth birthday.
Finally, it seemed like there was a little light of hope in the dark road ahead.

"I am not deserting you!" Olee shouted pulling her arm out of Jaskia's grip, "I'm trying to help you! And everyone else too! Even if Lumiya isn't involved I still can't take that risk! You are like a sister to me Jaskia" She paused, "And I would rather die trying to protect you, than live as your shadow, your right hand. Im no use to you like this. All I'm good for is backing up your opinions. Face it Jask, I need to learn to survive on my own. Ever since you brought me in as on of the first Ghosts, I have been dependant upon you! All I can do here is burden you. So for that reason... I'm leaving."
Olee stopped for a minute then continued to walk. Solo paused before walking after her.
"Uhh... I think I'll go get the group ready..." He said uncomfortably before he ran off down another corridor.

Jaskia closed her eyes. "Olee, no, please don't go..." she begged. When she opened her eyes, tears began to gather, mostly out of the frustration she felt. "I need you here. I can't... I can't do this all alone. I'm not making this command as your boss. I'm asking you as a friend. Please."

Wey watched the beginnings of the exchange from within the hallway, and then feeling as if he was an intruder slipped inside the room they had been haveing there meeting. the door slipped shut behind him. He glanced at the ghosts still in the room "It seems I have an immpecable timing, I come back as soon as the ghosts splinter" his tone was slightly sarcastic, and at the same time slightly sad.

Upon hearing Jaskia's words and sadness. Tears immediately began to flood down her face also "What am I thinking?" she sobbed, "You're right Jaskia, you are right. I can't leave!" She rubbed her eyes. "I'm being selfish. Crumpling under responsiblity. I will admit that I am brave, but I'm no leader."
Olee then decided to cheer up. She rubbed her eyes which were now turning red and decided to go for a Han Solo approach. "Besides," she said a smile coming over her face, "You do need me." And with that came a laugh and a hug. "Thankyou. Thanks for not letting me go."

Jaskia bowed her head. "I hate all this... the war, everything." The tears she had been holding in now spilled freely down her face, but she wiped them away with the sleeve of her shirt before Olee could see. "One would thought a rogue Jedi would have all the freedom she wants. Everybody's looking at me for direction now, and it's as frustrating as hell!" She completed that last word with a sudden kick at the wall. Ignoring the pain in her foot, she leaned against it and glanced at Olee, torture in her eyes. "In two days, the war could be over. In two days, Lumiya will kill me. Olee, I can't lie to yo about this... For the last few weeks I've been thinking death would be preferable than the position I'm in now."

Nait closed the door behind Wes and snorted. "Splintering?" he asked him. "Obviously, you don't use your eyes. But your ears seem to be pretty good. Look at the situation and use your damn brain." His voice turned hard. "And I would personally break the nose of any who said Jaskia has done an incompetent job."

"There are signs of splintering, and not just from this... drama. But all cracks can be repaired with time. Also i don't think anyone would say that Jaskia has done a bad job, she's one of the only reasons the Ghosts have lasted this long." He paused for a second; hand resting on his blade "But the Ghosts and everyoen in the rebellion is at risk if we start to slow down now, yeah the Death Star was destroyed and palpatine is dead, but you are very mistaken if all you fear are his Hands. There are people in command of Star Destroyers now that are geniouses... and Psycopaths. Held back until this point becouse of there servitude for the Empire but those bonds are broken, and they are free to do as they will. If you thought Palpatine was brutal just wait until these new ones come up they. Won't have an Empire to hold together, just people to kill"

Nait nodded. "Yes," he said, conceading the point. "But we'll play dirty, too. You're in no position to judge us and our effectivness. We've improved since you've left." Nait didn't add that the Nulls had offered to keep tabs on the Imperial Council, the biggest threat so far. And spies within the Imperial ranks were monitoring for any unusual activity. Wes was in no position to say that they weren't prepared or coordinated. "The Hands are more dangerous than the others. The others make their faces known to the public. But an Emperor's Hand will wait patiently, maybe even for years, until you felt safe enough to lower your guard. Then they would strike fast and hard, from an angle you weren't expecting. Who you like one on your back?"

"Don't say that!" Olee protested, "Lumiya won't lay a finger on you as long as I am breathing! I mean that Jaskia! And I promise I will do everything I can to help you. Nait, Scout, Luke, Ni and heck even Han. They will all be there for you. Everyone will."
She could see the sadness in Jaskia's eyes.
"Well not exactly everyone..." She said smiling in a desperate attempt to cheer her freind up, "Erin springs to mind!"

"I didn't mean to say that you wheren't ready for it, or that you're not effective. But well any organization would be haveing troubles at the moment. you're facign innumerable ods and still making progress, i'de say that is a sign of effectivness. And no I wouldn't want a Emperor's Hand after me... but I figure if there not stopped now, they'll work there way through the ghosts, adn eventually make it to those who have left the ghosts. Thats why I'm goiing to help you guys, better to combat the ghosts now with a few hundred others then just one on one... that is if you'll have me"

Nait didn't even bother to point out that he and Jaskia would love a one-on-one with an Emperor's Hand. Instead, he said, "You left for a lot of reasons, Wes. You sure all of those reasons have been cleared up?"
--
Jaskia smirked. "Erin doesn't count, Olee. She's more like a science experiment gone wrong..."

Olee smiled, "Jaskia we are best freinds and normally I would agree with you..." There was a long pause, "This is one of those times!"
Han came rushing round the corner.
"I got a group together." He stopped to catch his breath "When do you wanna leave?"
He stopped and looked at the pair of them.
"Who said I was going anywhere?" Olee toyed, "Are you sure you're feeling OK? You look a bit pale. Jask do you know what he is talking about?"

"the main reasons I left will never be cleared up, they are problems with myself, but I've come to terms with them. And I can still be of use to the Ghosts, I can out fly almost all of you and I'm still deadly with a blade." he paused for a second "Plus I have a feelign that the mission i was brought here for will turn out to be a suicide mission, even mroe so then what i'll do to help the ghosts out."
