Tuskers Tuskers's Profile »

another saga

*Tuskers wakes in his ship Meli. He can hear Red, his protocol droid, hovering nearby.*
"I'm alright Red, relax."
Yesterday, Tuskers had run accross another bounty hunter. The fourth that had tried to take his life recently. He wondered why he was so popular?
So popular, Tuskers had become that now he's suffering from both blindness, and he's lost his connection with the Force.

Without warning, Tuskers heard the hatch open letting in the fresh sea air from outside.
"Meli, I asked you not to admit anyone. I need time, not visitors."
The ship hums at him, but because of his loss of connection to the Force, Tuskers cannot tell what she is saying.
"Red, who is it?"
A female voice answers his question. "Tuskers, it's me. I heard you were in trouble again."
"Leena?" Tuskers stood up, wondering what he did with his shirt. "Leena, is it so good to hear your voice. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Tusks. I heard you were injured?"
Tuskers holds his hands our, a brave jesture. "Leena, do I look harmed? In one piece, I am."
Leena touches her fingers to his nose, which makes him jump. "Liar. You've lost your eyesight, and you eyesight, and if rumor has it true, then you lost your Force Powers also."
Tuskers frowns at the beautiful Twi'lek. "I am sure that it sounds much worse than it really is. I've been perfectly... OUCH!" Tuskers hops on one foot, after being kicked in the shins.
"I think I told you about lying to Twi'leks. We are experts at reading body language."
"Okay, sweetheart, I surrender." Tuskers holds out his hands to show his acceptance.
"Tuskers, I've heard something else, that you... have another relationship? I understood that we were to be together."
"Aeron? We're old friends, met up many years ago. We're..."
Tuskers feels Leena's hand on his cheek, caressing. "Tuskers, you are not going to lie to me, are you?
"No, Leena. We are old friends, and we've been having fun. However, I'm not in love with her. She's just a friend. I'm in love with you, my dear Leena."
"Then we shall be together again."
"Leena?" Tuskers asks, unsure what she means.
"Tuskers, we will board the Whitestar, and we shall fly away from here."
He chuckles, "But Leena, I thought that you loved the beach? I never forget how happy we were the first day here, raising our glasses in toast of the new club."
Leena runs a hand down his arm. "And we will have more fun times. Just not here. This place holds too many other memories, too many other dangers."
Tuskers glances around, as if his blind eyes could see... "No more dangers? I don't know that it's possible, but I'd do anything. And, Leena, I'll do anything to bring your heart back to mine."
Leena smacks his shoulder, "You know, if you would have come after me, you foolish man, you would still be with me. Let's have Red pack your belongings, and let's go. We'll stop by my home, and see where we go from there. No more trying to save the Galaxy, no more picking fights, just Love, and happiness."
"I've done my bit for King and country, I'm weary of this fighting Leena. Take me where you will, I'm with you. My eyesight will return soon, and possibly my Force Powers. But, your warm smile is what will brighten my remaining days."

Tuskers, Leena, and the protocol droid Red gather up Tuskers belongings from Meli, and from his cabin. He considers leaving a note, but he doesn't know what to say, or who to say it to. There are too many words...
Once they board the Whitestar, Leena sits down at the controls, and the ship takes off.
"My story here has drawn to an end."
