Shada woke up with a blistering headache. A whole Endor Ewok tribe had
apparently decided to wreak havoc inside her brain. With huge humangeous
rocks. She turned over and buried herself deeper into the covers of the
bed. The Ewoks were definitely making her delusional, she could swear she
heard ringing. Yep, there was definate ringing. Shada lifted her head
fractionally and noticed a vornskyr shaped alarm clock. The insistent
ringing was beginning to annoy her, so with an unconscious movement she
threw the annoying device against the hard grey wall. Wait a minute. Gray
wall ? Alarm clock ? She didn't have an alarm clock...
Oh dear Force where was she ?
She opened her eyes again slowly adjusting to the faint light. She got up holding her poor head in her hands. Thank the Force, she had her clothes on, which meant she hadn't done anything that stupid. Now just to find out where she was. The Ewoks were determined to distract her thinking process. Looking around she realized she could be anywhere. The room seemed very ordinary. No pictures or any other clues as to who the room's owner was. She just hoped she hadn't embarassed herself too much last night. She could faintly remember singing and.... table dancing ? This would be the last time she'd let that crazy woman talk her into her a drinking contest. Her brain cells were protesting loudly and her brain felt like jello. The only poritive thing about drinking till you drop was that Josie was probably feeling the same way. She knew the woman well enough to A feral grin crossed her features. The grin faltered quickly since the headache increased with every movement.
« If it isn't our sleeping beauty . » A sarcastic voice came from the doorway. Startled she turned around, slowly, and saw Aves standing in the doorway . She lowered her blaster which had come out reflexively. She breathed a sigh of relief . It was only Aves, meaning she probably hadn't embarassed herself all that much.
« Aves. Loud. Bad. Quiet. Good. » She mumbled, holding her head.
Chuckling Aves sat down next to her offering her a cup of freshly brewed caf. The aroma was alluring and Shada hastily drank a few sips. The headache was thankfully beginning to seize.
« So what happened last night ? » She asked with dread.
« Oh, nothing that we haven't seen before. Y'know the guys enjoyed the show. You'd probably be able to earn a lot of credits with a repeat performance.... »
« Aves. » She groaned. « Stop torturing me and get to the point already. »
« Oh my dear Shada, what's the fun in that ? » He asked laughing. Shada glowered at him as she slapped him in the arm.
« You really do enjoy inflicting physical pain on your fellow comrades don't you ? »
« Just tell me how I ended up in your room ? »
« You started wandering around the ship determined to find someone. You kept repeating that if you didn't find him, you'd never find him. » Aves winked at her. « Makes one wonder who you were talking about, don't you think. »
« Shut up Aves. » She snapped at him, slowly blushing. She usually never blushed, what was wrong with her. Probably the alcohol that was still in her system. Must be it.
« Your room ? » She insisted.
« After making sure you didn't harm anyone during your alcohol induced search, I finally got tired of following you like a lost bantha cub and dragged you in here. Didn't want you to emabarass yourself in front of the whole crew. After placing you on the couch you immediately fell asleep mumbling how my furniture was way comfier than yours and that you'd have to sue whoever gave you the uncomfortable ones. Decided you'd be even comfier on the bed, I let you sleep. See after your performance in the cantina, you acted pretty civilised. »
« That brings us back to the question of what happened in the cantina ? »
« You'll just have to find out for yourself, I'm not telling. Anyway, you have to get ready for your shift. Wouldn't want to let Karrde know where you spent last night. Wouldn't want to give him information that would make my life decidedly uncomfortable.»
« What ? » Shada asked confused.
Aves stared at her shaking his head in disbelief. « Y'know you're one of the most intelligent women I know but when it comes to some things, you're totally oblivious. »
