Feasting! (Day 7 Mid evening. Camp!)

[Silas Myles Pearson]

That was a rather boring answer, but one that he should of been expecting. Corvin despite the way he looked at Farissa didn't see the type for girlfriends. "Well, that makes sense."

"Here I was looking forward to stories about cute nurses too," He frowned suddenly. "Wait, are there even cute nurses?"

[Farissa Kho]

"Sometimes? Depends on where you end up, really," Farissa shrugged. "I guess there aren't plenty of cute nurses out on frontier worlds."

[Byron Mik]

Byron replied, "Well maybe we should refrain from harassing poor nurses, cute or otherwise, just doing their jobs."

"Why don't the more experienced Knights regale us with stories of their adventures in the field, then?"

[Farissa Kho]

"Oh... Corvin's stories are much more exciting than mine. More like the type of stories you guys want to hear too, I bet. Daring encounters with the Sith, epic lightsaber fights, grim and gritty action."

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"Oh." Silas' eyes gleamed with interest, though he was half certain Farissa was teasing poor Corvin. Sometimes you just have to follow the cute girls play though. Especially when she helps you practice.

"Could you tell us one of your cool stories then, Corvin?" Silas asked with a hopeful smile.

[Corvin Zell]

Corvin scowled, equally divided between the pretty knight and the enthusiastic youth. "Exciting stories?" He growled. "If you think crawling on your belly through mud for a week to avoid Sith patrols is exciting, then yeah, my time was full of excitement."

After a moment, he sighed. "Well... okay. There was one time, we knew some big Sith hotshot was gonna be landing. Problem is, we didn't know when, only that it was going to be at night."

He stirred his stew a bit. "It was a landing platform in the jungle. Sith troopers did sweeps, but not after it was dark. So, me and Master Kleben camped out in trees on either side of the platform. There was a base right there, remember. Then, every night, we'd climb down, set up a bomb, and wait nearby with a thumb on the detonator."

He smirked. "But then, the Sith didn't show. So we had to disarm the bomb, and climb back up the trees. Couldn't hide it well enough that the troopers wouldn't spot it otherwise. Sith didn't show up until the fourth night we were there."

He shrugged. "Plan went off without a hitch. Almost. Cracked the ship in half. Master Kleben held off the troopers while I went to make sure the bomb had taken out the Sith." He smirked. "Hadn't, of course. Came at me with one of those damn double-sided lightsabers." Another shrug, then he took a fierce bite of his stew.

[Byron Mik]

Byron was enthralled with the story.

[Ares Pax]

Ares listened with an open mouth, spoon halfway up, he was so enthrralled.

[Farissa Kho]

Farissa listened with great interest too, as she did find it exciting herself.

"See... told you Corvin got the stories you boys are interested in," she chuckled as she saw the reactions of Byron and Ares.

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"People actually wield those?" Silas asked a bit amazed at the prospect. "They always seemed a little silly to me, like you would end up cutting off your leg by accident or something." He glanaced at Ares, at least he was sure Ares would lose a limb iif he tried. Ab's was strong but not all that graceful.

But then, maybe he should be worrying more about Valee?

[Ares Pax]

Ares finished his spoonful of food, and he put it down. It seemed he wanted to say something, he opened his mouth several times, but closed it. Unlike his usual self, his usual confidence gone.

[Corvin Zell]

Corvin scowled. "Whatever. It was just a job that needed doing, and that was the best way to do it."

He looked at Farissa, his eyes narrowing. "Alright. Your turn. You know it is." He said with a smirk.

[Farissa Kho]

"Hey," she felt a touch snubbed, "I use a double-bladed saber, Silas." Farissa added in a haughty sniff.

As Corvin directed the attention to her, she gave a dramatic sigh. "Ah, well, I suppose I have to. It is how it is. Let's see..."

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"Really? I suppose that must mean you're really graceful then! "His eyes sparkled." Can I see it sometime?" They might be a bit strange, but they were still cool.

Noticing Ares, look and the emptying bowls, Silas rose to his feet. "So, who's ready for pudding then?" He asked as he moved over to the dish the other boy had brought along. Waste not want not, right?

[Byron Mik]

"Hey," she felt a touch snubbed, "I use a double-bladed saber, Silas." Farissa added in a haughty sniff.

As Corvin directed the attention to her, she gave a dramatic sigh. "Ah, well, I suppose I have to. It is how it is. Let's see..."

"I kind of want to learn how to use those... but I feel like I might need more practice with it," he said with admiration.

[Farissa Kho]

"I should show it to you guys sometimes," she gave them a wink.

"As for my story of daring, let's see... well, there was this gala on Corellia. This was before the peace treaty was signed. And there had been threats made on an important person - I can't really divulge the details on who. Anyway, the party happened on this pleasure barge, and there I am all decked out in fineries and this dress that was as flimsy as paper to blend in with the crowd while also keeping an eye out on anything going on. Our suspect makes a rather dramatic entrance; I'm talking jetpack and guns and everything going on. No subtlety whatsoever." She chuckled at that part.

"And so there I see that I need to act now before anyone gets hurt, and much to his surprise I hurl myself at him; knocking both of us away from the barge and out into freefall. So we're like fighting over the flight-controls and fighting off eachother at the same time. We both end up with a 'soft' crash into a large park-lake, so as you can imagine my dress is pretty much fading history at that point. But lucky for me that gave him enough of a distraction that I got to beat him up for a few moments until he yielded once we could stand in the shallows." Farissa shook her head with an amused smile. "The CorSec forces were there pretty quickly to handle the rest of the situation and arrest the guy."

[Byron Mik]

"Jedi Cop approves," he said warmly.

[Corvin Zell]

Corvin paused, his spoon halfway to his mouth, as he imagined the scene. In detail.

After a few moments, he chuckled. "See, kids?" He said in his gravelly voice. "Told you she'd have good stories, huh?" Shaking his head, he brought the spoon the rest of the way to his mouth.

[Ares Pax]

Ares took a long while to get past his imagination, but he finally managedd it.

"I..I think I know a story." He coughed. "It's not mine. I don't have any stories in my life. But..my parents told me this one." His voice was even as he spoke.

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"Dissolving dresses?" Silas murmured thoughtfully. No, the kid didnt get any terrible ideas at all from that. Still it was a cool story, even if it gave him ideas that were far from appropriate, and left visions of blue booty dancing in his head.

"But that is a really cool story!" Silas offered excitedly trying to make up for his earlier slip of the tongue, his eyes turning to Ares. "Why don't you tell it then? It would be fun." The young man said, as he started to pass out the bowls of 'caramel' pudding.
