WHO: Altair Kallig & You!
WHERE: Risa!
WHAT: Vacation!
WHEN: During the Risa Event
WARNINGS: None! Will update if this changes.

[A - Markets]

He had to visit eventually- searching for supplies that would be useful once they returned to Agra 10, but also searching for some items not related to survival alone. While wandering, he kept his senses reaching far, feeling the peaceful emotions of all around him while he wandered- while also keeping an eye out for anyone familiar, be it only slightly so, or very much so.

The Sith was determined to at least enjoy part of this vacation while they had it.

[B - Gardens]

Chiss were not made to handle heat- even mixed breeds like himself. Altair didn't know what his family had been before his parents, and his grandparents, but he knew they could not all be fully Chiss- logistically, it was impossible. Aloysius had been a pureblood, Altair was sure, given how the Empire had been even more anti-alien back in those days- but then, it had been nearly two-thousand years since Aloysius had died so if there was pure Sith blood in his veins, it was so diluted it might as well not be there.

Still, the Chiss in him was indeed not good with heat- and as such, he found himself down in the glowing gardens, where it was cooler.

He could be found wandering about with a sketchbook and pen- drawing the different plants he saw. Having grown quite fond of the medium of paper and pen.

Every now and then, he'd also find a bug or two, and stop to fawn over it- even picking some up to inspect the creatures more closely. One could think him insane, given that he would speak to any bug he wasn't familiar with in rather the way one would speak to something utterly adorable.

"Why hello there, aren't you a beauty..." and "Oh, look at you... Don't think I've seen one like you before... Care to hold still while I draw you?"

Even on Agra 10, he'd been a bug lover. Here, with the relative safety, he felt okay to let that show just a bit.

[C - Meditation]

Risa, being what it was, was perfect for it.

Anywhere it was nice to sit down- places with pristine nature, a somewhat less traveled path with benches, down on the beach- he could be found in deep meditation, cross-legged, and breathing.

Speaking, too, when he thought himself alone enough- reciting the Sith Code as he always did, when he felt the need to meditate, clear his head, calm himself.

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion...
Through passion, I gain strength...
Through strength, power-
Through power, victory-
Through victory, my chains are broken-
The Force shall free me..."

[D - Wildcard]

(Come up with a scenario of your own! Altair can be found here and there on Risa, just exploring, shopping, relaxing...)

Yes, I suppose so. Maybe you can get more help so you don't always have to be there.

[Hux pointed out a few outfits that looked like something Altair might wear.]

Maybe. Until I do, I can manage on my own.

[With or without help, he won't be leaving the hospital.]

Oh, those are nice... [He picks the outfits out, considering them. Yes, definitely his style.]

Guess I should feel happy about not being one of those Sith who insists on being covered in armor. Or I might be very frustrated indeed.

Indeed. The Knights of Ren had always made a mess of the ship with their bulky armor and boots. [He wrinkled his nose at the memory of that.]

It looks like we both found a new set of clothing.

Sith are very particular about the way they present themselves. One of my former allies on the Dark Council seemed like he was near constantly sealed inside of his... Even as a ghost he was armored.

[He hadn't needed to be. But he'd wanted to be remembered as a symbol.

All Darth Marr had achieved though was losing the respect Altair had once had for him.] The closest thing I had to wearing armor was Aloysius' mask. But I only wore the damned thing once or twice.

[...] Have I ever mentioned him to you? I really can't remember.

[It's been a while, he supposes.]

And I suppose we did, yes.

I'm afraid that a lot of my energy is spent.... Let's do a lunch then head back...

[Hux said reluctantly once they were outside the shop carrying their bags. He had wanted to do more, but he didn't think this would cost him a lot of energy.]

We could just go back now, if you'd prefer. No reason why we can't have lunch at the hotel.

[Much as he liked being out and about, he didn't want Hux wearing himself out entirely too much. With the heat being hard on the both of them, too, they could both use some rest.]

....Are you sure? I really wanted us to do a nice dinner or lunch out.... I didn't mean to ruin that.

[Hux said in a hesitant tone, as he berated himself for being weak.]

We don't need to be among other people to have a nice lunch or dinner. We just need each other.

[He can tell Hux is beating himself up about it, but there really isn't any reason to.]

Had I been in your position, gone through what you have, would you be disappointed if I had asked to return to the hotel to have lunch there? Or accepted that I was angry with myself for needing to rest?

[They're both reasonable men. So listen to him being the voice of reason. Altair doesn't want Hux to feel down when they've had a nice time shopping together already.]

No. I would have wanted you to rest.

[Hux automatically responded when Altair had placed it in that view.]

Alright then....we can have a nice lunch at the hotel and just enjoy each other's company.

[Altair was glad it got through to him. The last thing he wants is Hux beating himself up, and he already knows he does that a lot. But not on his watch.]

That we can. [He smiles.]

Though I always enjoy your company, Hux. No matter what we do, so long as we do it together.

[Is he flirting? Yes he is.] Besides, I've gotten to walk next to my handsome boyfriend all day and now all the way back to the hotel, too. I'm a lucky man.

[The comments earned a smile from Hux and he placed a hand alongside Altair's cheek.]

Keep this up I'm going to be blushing in public.

[Hesitantly he brought his hand down to wrap around Altair's feeling a little brave about showing such a public display. But people do this on dates, right? He wanted to make their date as memorable as possible.]

Can't have that. That is a sight I'd prefer to have to myself.

[Even as his own purple blush spreads just a little. Though when Hux's hand moved down to hold his, it spread further- to his ears, down his neck.]

Though I guess the way I look when I blush you're going to have to share.

[.....And now he could feel himself blushing. He cursed inwardly at himself.]

I suppose it's more official now.

[Cute.

Altair can't help but smile. And maybe it's a sight he doesn't mind sharing after all. It's still for him.]

I suppose it is. Though you know we can take everything about us as slow as you'd like.

[They'll move at Hux's pace.

Altair can wait.]

I know. You keep reminding me, but I wanted this. This is a civilized place with other people around. Not some abandoned place we are trying to put together again.

..... Do you think we can get a holo of us together before we leave here?

[He could feel himself blushing more at such a cheesy request. But it would be the only thing he had of them together and he wanted it.]

[Hux has a point. Who knows what waits them back on Agra 10.

Being themselves, somewhere more civilized, and being able to enjoy each other's company like this, out among other people.

It's a chance he doesn't think will come again soon.

And in the back of his mind there is a concern that maybe the Agrii will put them all on the ships and he and Hux won't be able to see each other in person.]

Of course we can.

[Something of the two of them together, that is only Hux's and only his. He likes the idea of that very much.] I do hope to be with you so often you get tired of my face anyway though.

I seriously doubt I would get tired of your presence. You respect my space as I do in return for you.

[His smiled broadened some more.]

I suppose if we were to be the type of couple to grow frustrated with each other's presence, we'd have done so some time ago.

[They have been a couple for a while, after all.] It has been three months and a little over a week, after all.

[He's been keeping track. Days and nights on Agra 10 might be different, but he's still kept track.]

I doubt I would have also invited you to move in with me as well. It helps that you not only respect my space, but you treat me as an equal. I'm not used to that.

[He couldn't help but chuckle at the statement.]

Someone's been keeping a tally.

... If anyone other than the womp rat drenched in grease shows up, I'm going to have to have a pleasant chat with them about how they've treated you.

[And by pleasant chat he means reduce them to cinders.

When Hux comments on him keeping a tally he blushes a little more, averting his eyes.] I suppose I have. Each day I've shared with you has been precious. I want to treasure each and every one. So...

I'm going to have to remember that one. I have a long list of names to call him, but that's a new one to add. Your offer is flattering, but I eventually took care of most of them.

[He squeezed Altair's hand in response. They then entered the hotel, much to Hux's relief as he was pretty exhausted.]

Had I said what I truly want to call him, I think the Force would simply censor me.

[A slight joke, but Altair's hatred of Kylo was true. It's been sometime, since he's felt anger that intense. So he'll carry it with him until he needs it.]

I don't doubt it. Still, you know you can rely on me should you need me for anything.

[Regardless, Hux laughed at the joke.]

I'm aware and it's always good to know this. Let's go ahead and place our order in and head to our room.

I love it when I can make you laugh.

[He likes the sound of Hux's laughter. He can't help it.] Yeah...

[The topic of food does worry him a little. But he's sure they can find something light. Neither he nor Hux are the type to eat a lot after all.]

You're the main person that is lucky to hear it then. It's not often I allow myself to do so.

[He studied the menu they were given and while most seemed to be too rich in tastes and filling or just too much food....he did find a few meals that seemed to be light enough for them.]
