Interlude

by Aerena 'Relentless' Kolene

I give a long, slow breath of satisfaction. It has been a restful and relaxing three - almost four weeks for me and the wife. We have spent time getting a lab set up for Kualia - which included the parts to build a small personal droid. The plans allowed for a few different configurations so I am curious to see which one she decides to build. We also made time to talk to Weha about his research project and if he was able to gather more information since we had to go back to Spacer's Tear again and had another run in with the purgil. He was very excited and was able to get some sensor readings while the adults were busy staying at a safe distance. Zaye and I discussed the future for our family and whether we wanted and needed a planetary base or if it made more sense to stay on the Starrise Falcon. We were not able to come to a decision as there are still a lot of variables to consider - not the least is whether we want to stay on this planet or not. We also tackled the subject of continuing to take the kids with us or finding a boarding school or other caregiver situation, but we both felt there is too great a risk as any hutt would love to grab them and use them for leverage. Fortunately we have a solid team we are working with and they will continue to get an education while we are traveling and working. Though maybe not the education we planned.
 
It wasn't all work however. We did manage to find time to have some nice family dinners and at least one time for a lovely soak in a hot tub that is behind Zaye's house. I knew there was a reason I married this woman! While we relaxed in the warm waters we played twenty questions with our past. There is still so much for us each to know and learn about the other. I shared more of my past on Corellia - from my dad's death and having to move in with my aunt. I also shared some embarrasing stories about my invisible friend and why there is still a stuffed animal that travels with me. I gave Zaye space to listen without requiring her to share. She has shared so much over the last two months as we have been in very high stressful situations and some of that has been related to her past coming to haunt us all.
 
We did talk a little bit about her step-father and what are some options for handling that. Every time Zaye shares more of her past I can see Vanya's eyes glint and know that plans are being made to take over the Ponua Kajidic or maybe assassinate Grakkus the Hutt. Neither Zaye nor I are sure that is the right option, but we are also both smart enough to know that when it comes down to it, we may not have another option. There has been a lot of talk over the past month which does not really fit in what I would normally call a relaxing holiday, but there are times where getting things said when you are not being shot at helps to solve problems. Well, maybe not solve them, but at least clear the air and make sure we understand where the other person is coming from. I have to keep reminding myself that for as long as I have known Zaye, I don't really know her. We are getting closer and we are opening up more and more to each other and I keep being very glad that she said yes.
 
Time to relax and just be us is really important for our new little family and I am really glad that we had this time. I then heave a deep sigh while I wonder what the next week will bring.
