Often called the 'Lover's Triangle' for the trio of waterfalls feeding in to a triangular gorge, the Idalani area is a picture-perfect place to spend time with that special someone, with a beautiful exotic backdrop and countless rainbows dancing across the sky. (+2 Speed)

"Perhaps," Xyshari said, shrugging.  "I've personally always found them... striking.  I think that's the word I want, at least."

"So, you like my eyes," Lana stated plainly.

"And many other things, but... I'm sure that our connection has made more than a few of them evident without me breathing so much as word."
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

"It has," Lana said.  "...but our moments before we found ourselves here were also telling me things that we both liked, such as the feel of your fur against my lips and skin."

"In all our time together, that was the first time I think more than just our lips touched," Xyshari said.

"It's also one of the first moments we've had in a while where one of us hasn't been nearly dead or heading off into something the other couldn't predict or protect them from..." Lana said, shifting from foot to foot.  "Do you remember what I said when Arcann tried to get you to surrender?"

"You said, 'I don't know who you are, but my ally would never surrender.  I appreciate the warning, however.'  When I commed you after my first fight with Arcann, your exact words were, 'Tell me you're still alive.'  I... couldn't tell if you were relieved or irritated at my response," Xyshari said.

"Ah, right.  'Alive?  Yes.  Intact?  ...mostly,' you'd said.  I could feel you shaking through the Force, and if I'm honest, I was feeding off of the adrenaline that I could feel through our bond," Lana said.  "It made running rather challenging."

"Not as challenging as getting back up on my feet and running through the control spire after Senya fucking
threw me like that..." Xyshari said.

"The lightsaber wounds were worse though," Xyshari said, and Lana nodded.

"I heard you screaming before I even registered my own pain," Lana said.  "Mostly because you couldn't see me, I'm guessing?"

"Remember, Valkorion had just tried to tempt me into using his power by saying that death was all but certain for you," Xyshari said.  "The scream was mostly reflex.  By the time I realized it was my arm--a second later--I knew you were fine."

"Yours was infinitely worse," Lana said.  "The pain from it had threatened to cripple me, but I knew that we had to push through.  I did what I could to help you, but eventually, the pain became too much for me to bear."

"You hid it better than I did," Xyshari said.

"And you had no troubles at all swinging your lightsabers around a mere hour after I'd received my injury," Lana pointed out.  "While I felt what you were feeling, I did not experience the wound myself."

"That makes sense," Xyshari said, settling down at one of the tables.  She winced as the fabric of her tunic pulled against the wound.

The brief hiss of pain that she heard from Lana indicated that she, too, felt the pain from the fabric pulling against the lightsaber wound.  All Xyshari could do was look up apologetically and indicate the chair next to her.

"Maybe after everything settles down, we can both get these wounds tended more properly," Xyshari said.

"I would not be opposed to that, after we finally settle everything with Theron," Lana said, a slight note of vitriol creeping into her voice.

"There are other things you wouldn't be opposed to doing--maybe even before we find him, right?" Xyshari asked, a lopsided grin on her face.

"You're impossible."

"Maybe if you weren't saying it with that adorable scowl-smile on your face, I'd believe you," Xyshari said, chuckling as she pulled Lana's chair closer.  "But, at the same time..."

"You don't want to rush things, and I don't blame you," Lana said.  "You've wanted to make sure that this wasn't going to just disappear."

"Unfortunately, Valkorion has been right about one thing so far," Xyshari said quietly.

"Oh?" Lana asked.

"When he was... showing me what had happened, and I told him that I'd loved someone before, he told me that, given time, love would seek another," Xyshari explained.  "I never mentioned that the one I loved was you.  I let him think it was Doc at the time."

"Well, we found each other," Lana said, leaning forward to catch Xyshari's lips in a gentle kiss.  "It... may have taken some time, after everything that had happened, but... I'm glad that we have each other."

"Me, too," Xyshari said.  "Now, if only Grandmaster High-And-Mighty wouldn't have tried to be so smug when she and Marr were training me...!"

"She was getting all preachy; 'Light side' this and 'Trust in the Code' that," Xyshari continued, shaking her head in frustration.  "Marr finally had to step between us and tell her to stop; I'd made my decision, he could see that.  I'd done what I needed to do in order to survive, and moreover, I was... happy."

"She didn't care for that," Lana ventured.

"I'm pretty sure that, if things ever went back to the way they were, she'd try to hunt me down and bring be before the Council to have me answer for my 'misdeeds'," Xyshari said, shaking her head.  "So what if I fell in love?  So what if I got attached?"
