"I'd be more excited about this "confinement" if you walked around in your underwear again." The scoundrel smirked, sitting on one of the three beds in their residential module. Kreia's scoff did not go unheard.
Meetra was looking out the window, trying to gather their location and its distance from the Hawk when she heard Atton's oh-so-subtle comment. Turning around to face her two followers she gave Atton a frustrated look. He loved making crude comments when Kreia was around; it was among his duties to annoy the life out of her.
"I still do not understand your need for this scoundrel. We could easily hire a pilot who isn't so… dim-witted," Kreia sneered, speaking as if Atton wasn't sitting 10 feet away from her. "Since the officers have allowed us to return to our ship, I shall retire there until you need me. I must meditate somewhere there isn't a fool disrupting the peaceful atmosphere." Meetra nodded in comprehension as Kreia took her leave.
As she passed through the door she added, "I feel we've stayed here too long. I urge you to leave here as soon as possible to continue your journey."
"Always with the vague dramatic statements," Atton observed with his usual annoyance for Kreia.
"Out of the three of us, it's required one of us is dramatic. Though, you almost have her beat." Meetra smirked, crossing her arms.
"Oh, very funny! The Jedi has a sense of humor."
"Surprised you, have I?" She laughed, walking across the room to sit on another bed.
"Constantly. What do you say we go explore? Telos isn't too great, but at least it beats this room."
"I half expected a suggestive comment from you, Rand."
"Well, I wouldn't want to-"
"No-no, don't ruin the moment." She smiled. "Let's go explore."
They left their module, looking around at the dull metal area around them. Most of the nearby rooms were residential, which was unfortunately boring. When the two companions entered the entertainment module they were immediately aware of two bounty hunters conversing outside the Czerka Coporation.
"This can't be good," Atton said lowly. Meetra reached towards her vibroblade, but Atton grabbed her arm, "Don't. They haven't seen us yet, and starting a fight isn't something I feel up to at the moment, at least if we can avoid it."
"Then what should we do? It's likely that they've gotten a hologram of me. We haven't exactly been under the radar," she whispered back.
Atton thought for a moment, resisting some thought from escaping. "How about we walk casually by and see if they recognize us?"
"I'm getting extremely tired of fighting everywhere we go," Meetra sighed.
"Think of it as practice," Atton suggested. The two bounty hunters looked over at the two, feeling themselves being watched.
Atton muttered a curse. "Okay, I have a plan. We're two newlyweds exploring the galaxy."
Meetra raised an eyebrow. "Oh really?"
"Would you rather tell them you're the exile?"
The two bounty hunters seemed to end their conversation and began walking towards Atton and Meetra. Atton put his arm around her shoulders and began to walk. Meetra brought her hand to his back and attempted to play along.
As they walked, the two bounty hunters kept their eyes trained on the couple. "I don't think they're buying it, Atton…" Meetra said with clenched teeth.
"Promise you won't kill me," Atton replied quietly, eyeing the bounty hunters.
"If I don't, they will," Meetra pointed out.
Atton sighed and brought Meetra close to kiss her. Meetra was taken aback, but let the kiss linger for a moment to assure its realness. Once the kiss was broken, Meetra stared at Atton feeling a strong urge to continue kissing him. There had been tension between them since the moment they met, but Meetra thought she had to abide by her former Jedi training that did not include romance.
"They walked past us." Atton observed, attempting to sound casual.
"Good." Meetra paused, "We should probably get going then." She let her hands fall back to her side. Atton nodded his agreement, and the two walked in silence to their temporary apartment.
