Re: Coruscant's Underworld
├óÔé¼┼ôAre doors too ordinary for you?├óÔé¼┬Ø Lishra sat up in the bed, pulling the worn sheet around her. She paused. ├óÔé¼┼ô├óÔé¼┬ªcould you teach me how to do that?├óÔé¼┬Ø she asked, eyes wide with wondering. Her dark curls, heavy with water, hung limply over her shoulders. ├óÔé¼┼ôI mean, like, climb buildings and vault walls├óÔé¼┬ªand steal, and..kill people n├óÔé¼Ôäó stuff├óÔé¼┬ª├óÔé¼┬Ø She trailed off, crawling across the mattress in her blanket cocoon to the pile of clothing Lex had dumped on the covers. It took some maneuvering to keep the sheets around her and sort through the clothes at the same time, but she managed.
A few quiet moments passed. Lishra pulled a pair of obnoxiously colorful pants from the clothing mound. ├óÔé¼┼ôI didn├óÔé¼Ôäót think you├óÔé¼Ôäód come back,├óÔé¼┬Ø she said softly, folding the pants over and placing them neatly on the side. The young woman laughed nervously, remembering her earlier anxiety. She├óÔé¼Ôäód slunk out of the shower and burrowed under the sheets to wait. And wait, and wait, and wait for what seemed like far longer than just an hour, twisting her hair fretfully and counting the minutes. She was completely dependent on Lex, and they both knew it. She suspected he disliked it as much as she did. Even in the skyscrapers, she'd never depended on anyone else. ├óÔé¼┼ôI know you don├óÔé¼Ôäót want to be here, and├óÔé¼┬ªI don├óÔé¼Ôäót really know why you came back, but you did. So.├óÔé¼┬Ø Lishra met his eyes, one corner of her lips turning up in a shy smile. Her eyes shown with honest appreciation. ├óÔé¼┼ô├óÔé¼┬ªThanks.├óÔé¼┬Ø Her eyes lingered on his face a few moments too long, tracing his strong jawline, the perfect curve of his upper lip.
Clearing her throat, Lishra ruffled through the clothes again, smoothing wrinkles and folding everything, placing them in stacks. Old habits die hard. She finally chose a pair of dark rugged pants and a green, long-sleeved top made of some sort of clingy mesh material. Putting them on under the sheets was a challenge, but she did it. Rolling out of the bed, Lishra donned a and fastened a belt around her hips. ├óÔé¼┼ôOk.├óÔé¼┬Ø She stood, barefoot but clothed, and looked at Lex expectantly. ├óÔé¼┼ôHow do I look..and smell?├óÔé¼┬Ø
