Who: Galen Marek and Leia Organa.
What: A friendly visit?
Where: Galen's place.
When: Monday evening.
Rating: Lets put this in the middle, PG:13. Leia is mean. :(

Starkiller had acquired furniture now at this point. With a bit of help from Barbara, who was a miracle worker on that front. They managed to get him everything he might have needed. She said if they go through the right door and find a place called Ikea, they'd be set. A couple days of trying and success. So many boxes, and so much furniture. So now Galen was sitting on a furniture and he had place settings and dishes and everything. It was legit a house. It was more house than he ever knew, to be honest.

So, he was sitting with Lucario who was content on doing his own thing.

It was lonely at times. Since starting to associate with people, he found himself wanting to be near them more and more. That was unsettling on it's own. Standing he paces for a minute catching the attention of his Pokemon. "What?" His question was met with a bark. "I know!" He could just go see Leia. He was concerned about her, but she was obviously fine and not really wanting them around. Then there was a honk at him. A growl came from Starkiller as he looked down at the pink bird that he couldn't get rid of. It showed up yesterday, and he couldn't kill the damn thing. Despite his best efforts. "Shut up, you." He rolled his eyes. Then he felt it.

Leia.

His eyes turned toward the door, and just like that there was a knock. HONK HONK Galen looked at the bird. "I hate you." Starkiller approached the door and pulled it open. "Leia." Honk Galen looked at the bird and back to Leia. "I now have a bird that is unkillable." He said with a droll look, while looking towards her shoulder. "How.." Galen looked Leia in the eyes, obviously concerned for her well being. "How are you?"

Now Leia was feeling somewhat defensive, the look she was being given, a stare as if what she said made little sense - but she knew very well it did. It illustrated she was doing what she could, contributing what she could. “Of course- I’m going to take it literally-” Leia tried to counter, her voice raising a little, but there wasn’t a lot of room to argue him yet, certain at any moment he was going to start arguing with her again, about what she should or should not be doing. What it meant to live, here - and what would he know?

She didn't even anticipate his move and when he kissed her she froze, perhaps telling of where her mind was, that, yes she was entirely caught off guard by it - she didn’t even have time to process it before he was just standing there, before her looking expectantly as she remembered to take a breath again. There wasn’t a light-bulb flash where Leia took this moment as some sort of motivation, or understanding. But, there was plenty of silent panic; like she’d always done Leia kept that inside.

Sure. She had some idea how he felt for her - and perhaps she’d done the wrong thing in completely avoiding any kind of conversation to confront the issue, but she’d been injured, and she wanted to address it in the right way.

It seemed an age was passing, and she wasn’t saying a word as they stood there, she wasn’t avoiding looking at him though. “Whatever you think I-” She felt like all she could hear was her heart pounding in her ears; what that was from exactly, she wasn’t sure.

“You’re wrong about whatever it is you think I need-” She was adamant about this, her tone wasn’t harsh, she didn’t even sound angry or upset by what he’d done. It was hard to read much at all on the outside, and on the inside, it’d be a challenge to distinguish one emotion from the other, for all the mess it was. If anything, there was a slight overbrightness to her eyes before she looked away.

“I- should go.” She didn’t think he’d stop her, as she moved past and headed for the door.

And that was that. She was gone. Starkiller did nothing to stop her, other than watch her go from the corner of his eye in his peripheral. She was just gone like that.

Looking to Lucario, he shrugged. "I guess that wasn't the right move, was it." He commented about the kiss. Lucario growled in response, and he laughed lightly. He didn't understand the Pokemon, but he seemed articulate enough to convey his thoughts. At least Galen hoped so. HONK! The flamingo interjected.

With a sigh, he glanced down. "You're still here." HONK! Of course it responded to him, with it's great big beady eyes. "I fucking hate you." He muttered walking to his couch. "C'mon you two. Let pick out one of these movies Barbara insisted I watch." After all he had this television viewer and these weird discs that played motions on the screen.
