Upon emerging through the opening doorway leading into the main flight deck, Sky immediately shifted his gaze onto Pathfinder Ryder standing alone in front of the navigation control board, downed from battle equipment to casual wear. The Ethar-Juson Captain removed his helmet, allowing the dark silver metal to melt away into adjoining together with the rest of his armor. Sky passed between the piloting stations to come up directly behind Scott's backside to loop his arms around the Pathfinder's torso and murmured behind the Ryder's ear, "Bis-saarvi, Ker-o'shai."
Scott's lips brimmed into a wide smile, spinning his head to one side in order to glance from the corner of his eye up to the Ethar-Juson figure. He gently pulled his hands free from under Sky's arms and set down his hands upon the tops of the taller man's wrists.
"Bis-saavri, Sky... I'm kind of surprised to see you down here. Shouldn't you be getting ready?.. Not that I'm objecting the idea of you being here-" Scott was suddenly brought to silence, being unexpectedly whirled around to face up to the tall Ethar-Juson and had his lips firmly pressed into by Sky's silver-colored lips quickly drawing into the motions of a deep kiss. Pathfinder Ryder had momentarily become entranced into the exchange, closing his blue eyes, and wrapping his arms around Sky's waist before gradually pulling his lips away to speak softly, "That was unexpected.. definitely worth the surprise, though." Ryder reopened his eyes to meet into Sky's seemingly glowing sea-green stare. "What's the occassion? Something like a good luck kiss, right?"
The Captain of the Ethar-Juson fleet curled his silver lips into a warming smile, "Preceding the events that shall follow, I have desired to express Vey-kaas with you, Scott."
Scott Ryder cocked an eyebrow into puzzlement, "What is Vey-kaas?"
In Sky's step back, he released his embrace from around Ryder's torso and dropped one of his dark silver arms to his side. Sky lifted his other hand to hold in front of his abdomen area with vertically straightened fingers and palm facing into the direction of his opposite arm. Captain Neyblix's smile slowly diminished with the look of concern becoming unveiled in his eyes, he offered an explanation, "This motion represents the fashion of extending the Vey-kaas to the one I hold devotion for.. you... it is an equivalent tradition to that of a human's confession. Placing your palm to mine means that you accept my offering."
Scott nervously cleared his throat, feeling the heat of anxiousness rising up into his cheeks, "Uh, is this your way for a marriage proposal?"
Sky gingerly shook his head, supplying a wide grin and doting chuckle, "In my study of Earth's customs, the confessions of love are more often appropriate before proceeding with matrimony."
"Oh! I get.." The corners of Pathfinder Ryder's lips lifted into a fondly smile as he raised and pressed his opposite palm to Sky's opened hand. Scott very briefly lowered his gaze onto the Ethar-Juson's hand becoming unraveled from under the dark silver metal rapidly melting away and allowing the Pathfinder to have the feel of Sky's bare hand. The Initiative Pathfinder returned his stare up into Sky's eyes.
Captain Skryonn Neyblix expressed a hint of nervous tone in the making of his declaration, "Vey-kaasu- I love you, Scott."
Ryder expression broadened into a softened look with a doting smile and corresponded reverence, "Vey-kaasu.. I love you, too, Sky."
