Hope you like it so far, please review!
Saray lips turned down in a frown as she realized that she was mistaken. The thought struck her like a bullet in the heart: 'I can't........ I can't go back there....... no..' As hard as she tried to keep her hardness, the feminine side got the best of her. Tears started to form in her eyes , and as hard as she tried to fend them off, she knew she was crying. Her tear stained face turned over to Boba, hoping he was not watching. The cold gleam of his helmet was turned towards her. She quickly turned away and wiped her eyes and took a breath of reassurance. 'I'll survive. I was just....... overwhelmed......'
Boba saw her cry. He saw her tears, seen her sudden sadness. He realized with a bit of shock that he had wanted to hold her, tell her that it was going to be okay. To comfort her. But none of that weakness was visible in her anymore as she sat by the fire, observing her claws with extreme care. She stared into the fire, stared into the crimson and orange, her eyes seeming to glow with with the essence of it. And he just sat there across from her, thinking of how much a fool he was. 'Getting softer..... for a bounty..... look at me, what an idiot I am.......' Out of curiosity and an impulse, he asked her, "Where did you get those claws from? I've never seen anything like that." She looked up and looked at him for a little while. "These? Oh, just a strange sort of genetic mistake. For the better." She turned her dark gaze to her talons, sliding the lethal weapons back into pockets of skin. He thought to himself, 'She definatley is getting to me,'
A silvery glow lit the forest and the surroundings as Saray sat on the grass, concentrating and trying to think. 'I'm so confused. What am I supposed to do?' she thought. What she needed was a solution. An answer. She was lost...... confused..... slightly baffled. She turned her head slightly and saw Boba from the corner of her eye. 'And to think that Boba Fett is to be involved as well......' She suddenly heard him say, "You okay?" She looked up at the seemingly menacing figure, in full armor, battle damaged and hardened, and she wondered how one such as him could be anywhere near to caring. She replied slowly, "I'm fine." and turned back, expecting him to go away. But she was almost startled as he sat down next to her. He said, "Really? You don't look fine to me." Her helmet concealed the slight smile she gave to him as she said, "Really, it's nothing, just some dreams." She sat motionless for a little while, aware of the bounty hunter's presence, before letting herself get up and go back to the makeshift camp that they were to stay at temporarily, leaving Boba.
