They kissed and enjoyed each other's touch for what must have been hours before they both slipped into a somewhat-peaceful rest.  As soon as Xyshari was aware that she was no longer awake and was dreaming, she reached out within the Force and anchored herself to Lana's calming presence.

Whoever would have thought that she would find a Sith's presence calming?
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me

Don't put the blame on me

"I'm here, my love," Lana's voice finally reached her, wrapping Xyshari in a blanket of warmth and comfort.  Xyshari wrapped her arms around her, hugging her tightly as she breathed in her scent.

"It's been a while since we were able to dream like this, hasn't it?" Lana asked, placing a hand in Xyshari's hair and rubbing the back of her neck.

"We haven't dreamed like this since before everything with Theron happened," Xyshari said, her mood souring for a few moments.  "I figured that, tonight, we could go somewhere... nice.  That we both have fond memories of."

"Oh?" Lana asked, but the scene before them changed before she could ask what Xyshari had in mind.

They were back in Raider's Cove, in the same shop that they'd set up in when they were taking care of the Revanites.  Everyone else had left the room, and it was just them--both Lana and Xyshari could hear people talking outside of the shop.  They'd kept their voices low when they talked.

"...so whose idea was it that I was the captain of a cannibalistic pirate crew?" Xyshari asked, and Lana couldn't help but laugh.

"It only took five years for that question to surface?  I'm surprised," Lana said.  "I wanted to go with something more mild--Howling Tempest, and definitely not cannibalistic.  You can blame Theron for that--he argued that nobody would believe that a cannibal could be a Jedi."

"That would explain the looks when I tried to explain that I wasn't a cannibal," Xyshari said.  "If I'd known it was your plan, I wouldn't have brought my medic husband with me.  I'd have brought Lord Scourge; he probably could have passed as a bloodthirsty lieutenant to a cannibal pirate captain," she mused.

"That wouldn't have worked..." Lana began.

"I know; in order for it to work, there could be no proof that you reached out to me," Xyshari said.  "Still, I could have settled into the role a little better with some form of a heads-up."

"That I won't deny," Lana said with a bemused chuckle.

"But I suppose now is as good a time as any to come clean about something that... bothered me--was bothering me, and still is... to a point," Xyshari said, lowering her head as she looked away from Lana, almost like she was ashamed.

"You don't have to worry about my opinion of you changing, my love," Lana said.  "What was bothering you?"

"What Master Satele really said to me, after Yavin--after she named me Battlemaster," Xyshari said. "She told me that she would be keeping a closer eye on me after that because she sensed a darkness in me. The nerve!" she said with a growl. "The woman sends me to fight the damn Emperor, and expects me to be a paragon of light after being his toy for countless months."

"I would have been fine if she would have left it at 'sensed a darkness in me', but she had to take it to the fact that she could sense that I was forming a Force-bond--" Xyshari continued.

"So I wasn't the only one," Lana mused.  "Darth Marr made the same accusation of me."

"When he asked you if falling for a Jedi was wise," Xyshari said, and Lana nodded.

"By then, as I'm sure you're aware, our bond had already formed and was cemented," Lana said.  "I do not know if you were aware of it at first, but when we parted ways, the only thing I could feel through our bond was an overwhelming sadness."

"I was realizing I didn't love my husband the same way I loved you," Xyshari explained.  "But I was equally unsure of how to... tell him that.  'Hey, I know I said forever, but now I'm kinda bonded to this woman who happens to fight for the other side but I don't give two fucks about that, can we just...?' is harsh, even for a Jedi."

"I never meant to put you in such a situation, my love," Lana apologized, but Xyshari shook her head.

"He picked up on it eventually.  'You're acting like you're missing someone, and it's obviously not me, since I'm right here,' he'd said to me," Xyshari said.  "The only words I could muster were, 'Was I that obvious?'"

"He gave me a kiss on the cheek--probably the most reserved kiss he'd ever given me--and said, 'Hey, even I find her crazy eyes attractive.  Just don't forget the good times we had, all right, Gorgeous?'  I'd like to think that, if he's still out there, he'd be happy--and he'd still be a good friend," Xyshari said.

"He said I have 'crazy eyes'?  My eyes have always been this way," Lana said, perplexed.

"So... they're naturally yellow?" Xyshari asked.  "With a hint of red?"

"My connection to the Force that I had even as a child," Lana said.  "Perhaps my exposure to the Dark Side as a child changed certain things about me before I was aware."
