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...)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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.]

[Years at home with an angry Sith Lord slamming food down in front of him and telling him to eat hasn't really changed the fact that Altair prefers hoarding food to eating it. Still, the meals Hux found should be light enough and small enough for them both to tolerate.

Honestly, having lunch by themselves a place they could truly relax was preferable though- eating out may have been a bit too busy at any rate.

He's looking forward to some time alone with his boyfriend.]

This may end up being a better idea after all. I'm not sure how I would have handled eating at a crowded restaurant.

[Hux admitted once they were in their room. He placed the bags down in the corner and slipped his shoes off before sinking into the sofa.]

I think so too.

[Unlike Hux who sank into the sofa, Altair went to fetch two glasses of cold water with ice cubes- one for himself, one for Hux. He then finally joins him on the sofa, handing the glass over. Hydration was important.

Especially for them who couldn't really handle the heat.] ... I should have dressed down more before going out...

[He's more tired than he expected too.] I've been to worse places like when I went to Tatooine, but...

Thank you....

[He grateful took the glass of water and downed it in two gulps. He really needed to be more careful about hydrating himself. He didn't realize how thirsty he had been till Altair handed him the glass.]

Between the two of us we weren't properly dressed for the weather. Granted, I could never dress down to what some of the people were wearing...Too much skin for my taste.

I agree with you there.

[He takes a sip of his ice water, before setting it down so he could lean against Hux's side, just a little, closing his eyes to just enjoy the moment.]

I like this though. Had we dressed for the weather, I couldn't use overheating as an excuse to lean on you.

Who says you need an excuse?

[Hux smiled and pulled Altair close to kiss him. He remembered their first kiss from before where it had been more hesitant. He felt bolder now with how everything was going especially since they were in the privacy of their own room.]

[He would have said something, really, but then he was being pulled closer and Hux's lips pressed to his and all he could do was give a pleased hum, as he shifted a little get into a more comfortable position as he kissed him back.

It was hesitant, but he moved an arm up around his neck as well, to keep him close- and show that he certainly didn't mind this. It was easy to pull away from should he wish it, though very much there.]

[Hux held Altair close and closed his eyes as Altair returned the kiss, savoring the moment. While it may have only been three months and assortment of days...it felt like a long time. The two had put a lot of work into their relationship to make it work.

Between the two of them they weren't nice people....yet toward each other they were able to be themselves and not worry about what consequences could happen. Hux was okay with that.

They remained close together until a knock on the door reminded them about the food they had ordered. And only reluctantly did Hux get up to go retrieve the food.]
