Faith sat on her bed, quietly listening, drowning out all sounds but their voices, it wouldn't be long before they were in their own world and no longer
concerned about where she was. Faith smiled.

And soon with the all too familiar warm smile across her face as she reached over to gently touch his face. Had if nothing else left him feeling a slight spark
of warm sense of life wash over him. Faint at first it had almost felt so alien to him ....so surreal and strange specially given the depth of darkness or
malice he alone knew he'd committed. His time alone away from her and his family had if nothing else spawned such adverse reaction from him that he had to
force himself to forget and leave it all behind once he was in her presence.
That if only for now with her could he find what little peace that could be had and he was not about ready to let it go. So instead giving in to the moment alone with her Ronin then just stood there. Eyes slowly close and taking in the moment, breathing in a sight of contentment of just being home. "I'm glad you are home, I missed you, and it will be nice to have someone warm to sleep next to tonight." To which her comment had all but put a sly smirk on his face as he slowly open his eyes. Reaching over to pull her close he then spoke. "....i know what you mean...seeing however much i traveled the vastness of space.....ain't nothing or nowhere else i'll rather be but home... with you...Faith." Then in a seem change of pace her mind had somehow turn away as did her gaze as Ronin did take notice. That he simply fell silent and listened.... "Ronin, we do need to talk about Faith, and...." after a slight pause she then continued on speak. "how she is, I think she's fine, but.....its hard to know." To which reminded yet again of the challenges and burdens he could only imagine they had to endure. With him being who he was and all the time he had to spend far away from them..The strain it would have on her having to basically raise Faith mostly on her own had been all but hard on him too.That as she stood there Ronin couldn't help but reach over and draw her closer in his arms. Letting her feel and sense his strength and warmth wash over then encompass her fully for a moment. Expressing to her without words the depth of what his very heart and soul wanted to say, if only he could show her. "....I know...so much time has passed since....and soon our little girl would have to grow up....be who she is to be....and i can't lie....that scare me more than any battle ....hurt me more than any wound could...." Then slowly he loosen his hold on her and let her be if only in fear of burdening her more that she had already been. "Come, I"m tired" She said as Arianna then held out her hand as continued, "And its been a long cold winter without you." To which with a smile and in one quick move he then had her up in the air in his arms. "Oh i see well....as it been a long slow cold walking death for me to be parted with you too. So tell you what....hmm." He then kissing her gently on the cheeks before he continued on speak. "I guess be time then that perhaps? Take care and see if i can't drive away that winter chills out ?Let me for tonight be here to hold you close....perhaps warm you still with my love." He then with her in his arms slowly made their way back to their quarters to spend some alone time together.

Faith listened to the sounds of the house, she heard to door shut on their room.
Slowly she smiled, they were involved....she got up and walked across the floor in her stocking feet, picked up her shoes, and slid out onto the balcony of her room, the darkness with its ability to hide ones shadows, and the air which hung damp due to the lateness of the hour. She breathed in deep she sat on the railing, and pulled her shoes on. Without a moment of hesitation she rolled off the railing headed for the ground, with little skill she rolled over and landed on her feet, in a kneeling position. She waited and listened further. Nothing..nice. Faith got up and walked off toward the village. |

Arianna smiled, to listen to his voice once again in person, rather than the messages, sent over long distance. To feel the warmth of his touch, rather than
having to remember it from the last visit home, his being so near, rather than the last shirt he wore when home, she could finally wash that one.
To feel emotion and longing once again stir with in herself made her laugh, she felt alive again. There were certain emotions that only Ronin could bring out in her. Things that were only reserved for him, even when there had been temptations along the way. "Yes come and hold me close, and chase away the chill, and let me see any new scars you have that I may kiss and wish them away" |

RoninWendigo |

By that time as the two of them made it thru the door and the faint click of him shut it behind him. Did he come to pause for a momment as in the background he
couldn't help but sense. The faint tug of his sense being quarter and draw towards Faith room ....a silent reminder that seem something was definitely up.
That a choice was placed before him....where in on one hand he could stay and attend to his wife or go check up on Faith one last time.
Of which hard as it was for him to admit, that he somehow chose to stay and be with Arianna. Thinking back on Faith reaction to his fail attempts to be and act like a father to him. Ronin thought perhaps it be best to let her be for now and just pick up on things tomorrow. And so by all means, turn his attention back to Arianna.....seeing the smile upon her face....take the moment to listen intently to her voice as spoke ....holding her close . Slowly moving to take the steps to lay her down on their bed.....take in the very sight, sound and feel of having her there with him. Rather than having to contend behind the usuall shot communica they had when he was away. Spending those cold lonely night alone by himself despite all the temptation that came his way. Given all the other ladies that he came across in the diffrent ports of call his mission lead him to....once again feel alive....filled with the emotion and desire only she could bring out of him.Which in turn he gladly and willingly shown her and no one else.... "Yes come and hold me close, and chase away the chill, and let me see any new scars you have that I may kiss and wish them away" She then said as he faintly heard her laugh as he slowly felt draw to her yet again showering her with kisses. "...hmm...i just might....just see if i can just do that and pick up where we left off last....drive those chill well away...be as we were in our tower...." Drawing close to lay by her side Ronin then with a sly smirk adds. ".....and as for your tempting offer my dear....i wouldn't have it any other way that to be attended by you and you alone...thought i might have a few scars in me that last...mind you...that are well...a bit out of the way for me reach."

The darkness was a welcome, and quiet as she walked filled her with calm.
Slowly she neared a point in the path, where she turned off toward the woods, there was a Jedi training run in there, and often she could find friends just hanging out as well. Slowly she walked she could hear them, ahhh toward the cave tonight...interesting. Faith came through the trees and faced her friends. "AHHH Faith you made it, here take a taste" Faith smiled, and took the offered bottle, smiling, she quickly took a drink, "not bad, better than juice" "Thought you were in for the night" Faith looked round, "My father's home...he and my mother will be.....distracted for a while" The small group laughed at the comment. "How long this time?" Faith squatted down, "No idea" "So what did he smuggle to you this time?" Faith looked up, ok so it was a small lie he wasn't a smuggler, but a Sith, and Faith had seen clips, and articles, and....a news feed about his life, and how he lead it...yeah that was something she would tell these guys....she laughed, they'd piss their pants. "Don't know, we haven't talked much, that will come tomorrow...I"m sure" Faith hung out for a few more hours, "Well gotta head back, school in a few hours..." Slowly she walked back, she thought about a few things as she walked...and instead of jumping back up to her room, she instead slipped onto the porch, and curled up in a chair, watching for the sun to rise. |

It was then given the chance be with her alone again in the privacy of their own bedroom he then began to relax a bit. Slowly letting go of the tension and
darkness that seem to somehow clouded his mind as of late whenever they were parted. Yet now back in her presence he was quite a different man, with the dark
brooding sinister look in his eyes seem have faded. Replaced by a more calm, concern and loving one that had all but only had his attention to her.
He then slowly walked to the side table to put away his cloak, weapon and gear before lay beside her. Hands then reach out to pull her close he then tried his best to ease her worries or cares. If only for a moment, keeping close watch and attention to her as he could. Thought the thought of his daughter as he sense her leave the confines of their home still worried him so. He none the less let her be and have her freedom be herself till next morning. When he'd hope to address the matters of her and what he hears she'd been up to of late... But for now her mother was his priority.....as he held her close spoke. "Now hmm....where were we? Ah yes...." He then with a sly smirk began to trace kisses down her forehead towards her lips. Savoring every moment he had with her with all earnest....knowing all to well the uncertainty the life he lived had. Had all but weight heavly in his mind and yet for now....these were things he choose to keep to himself. As his hands then slowly reach over and began to move up her spine towards her shoulder. And began to with the aid of the force ease the tension she felt slowly..... "....My queen needs attending and am more than willing to accomodate whatever she so desire or need of me to do for her...." |

Arianna Darklighter |

Arianna smiled and whispered, "Queen am I...well then my lord, come here and serve your Queen" Arianna reached out for Ronin, draping one of her arms
around his neck, and placing the other on his cheek, as he kissed her forehead Arianna waited for his lips to brush hers.
The night drifted away and the warmth of their love melded them together as one. Arianna could feel the muscles of his arms, and back, old familiar scars she traced under her finger tips. Arianna took great delight in Ronin being home words were not often necessary, for as much as she could say, she could feel his love each time he touched her, or held her close. The chill of many nights alone slowly melted away, the jade green eyes that she loved stared back at her, softer than the first time they had met, a little older as well, but the way he looked at her, always made her blush. "I have missed you dearest, I"m so glad you are here" |

RoninWendigo |

In silent anticipation of her response Ronin had appeared somewhat passive than usual. Seem being draw by her smile and the warm breath of air from her lips
brushing so close to his ear. In a seem taunting whisper that no sooner had it been spoken held his attention..
"Queen am I...well then my lord, come here and serve your Queen." Which with a sly smirk he then slowly moved ever closer to her side ever so gently. "Lord eh? Well you truly are my Queen ...would like nothing more than to serve and adore you the way you truly meant to....so tonight as you are mine....i am your beckon call to do as you ask of me...." Guided with but the deep emotional bond the two shared, he couldn't quite help but feel his cold hearted killer exterior melt. With every touch of her hands, reaching back out to have one her arms drape round his neck while the other on his cheek. Had all but slowly embolden his heart, as he then trailed kisses down from her forehead to her waiting lips. which in time, lost in her touch and the warmth of holding her close in sweet embrace he could truly say he was indeed home. As the night pasted and drifted into blissful memory, chased away all the doubt or fears he once had in her absence. Beating out the frigid cold void that seem to have lay hold or sway of his whole being. Only to be replaced by the very warmth, calm and soothing feeling he could find nowhere else but in her arms...in the midst of their union. Could he seem to feel life slowly flow into fiber of his being...making it so that he could not help himself. As hands slowly began to reach out to encompass her whole form... with such gentleness and care so few dare to have know....strong arms and back cradled her in such a way as to give in to her every demands. Shifting ever so slightly to allow her fingertips to clearly trace each and every scar both old or new on his bare skin. As in return his lips tried to traced away, ease every bit of tension and pain she had in their parting. In that very moment Ronin couldn't help but feel such contentment, calm and delight in just being home with her. In which no words seem to suffice or do justice for what that very moment meant to either one them. Lost in that moment, words seem to slowly loose their meaning none the less and seem to be not necessary.For being the man he was, Ronin let his love for her be know to her in every touch ...closeness of their union together whike he held her in his arms. And soon enough together the chills or longing sadness of the night before slowly melted. That in the heat of passion he felt for her, his hand held her and those soft deep jade green eyes gazed upon her form. Ever so lovingly with eyes for her and only her....slowly softening in time than before....though in them the unmistakable sign of time and burden of his ordeal to keep her slightly show....a bit older yet certainly a bit more wiser.... captivated Arianna in such a way would seem that. Arianna own eyes could help but reciprocate and gaze back at him with the same intensity or one that could rival his for a moment. Yet as time passed his gaze ...the way he looked at her had all but made her blush. "I have missed you dearest, I"m so glad you are here" She then came to say just as he smiled and replied back as he reached over to brush some loose hair of her face. " ......as have i dear....more that you'll ever know .....so much so that i would want nothing more but you..."

Faith watched the sun as it peeked above the horizon, she could see the dew on the grass across the field, and it was slightly cool this morning. She stretched
out, and careful as a cat moved each of her limbs.
Slowly she stood and exhaled, another day she thought. She headed inside, carefully she opened the door, and listened, no one up. She made her way into the kitchen, and began looking for breakfast, she had two hours to get to school. She grabbed up a piece of fruit, and headed off to her room, she needed to clean up, and change her clothes. She tried listening for movement in her parents room, so far there had been none. As she stood in front of the mirror looking at herself, she noticed her hair as disheveled, she looked at her dresser, "brush" she whispered, and the brush flew from the dresser to her hand. Yeah she practiced when she could, Tia had taught her basics when she was younger, and then well as she got older the more complex things. But yet she could not decide did she want to follow that path, or do something else. So much to think about, so much to consider, it was so easy to just hang out with her friends, and not think of any of it. She looked to the timer, and headed to the shower. |

And soon enough with great care ...gentleness....Ronin made good in spending as much time he could with his wife. Making good on his promise, letting the
passion he felt for her warm and comfort her the rest of the night. In such a way that would appear by the end of it all Ronin had all but exhausted himself .
Soon falling into a deep calm sleep that he somehow not have for quite a while, laying by her side. Hand wrap round her back as she then lay her head on his
chest.
Yet all this while his sense and thought had kept in silent watch over Faith...with the beast given some leeway or freedom. To wander about in the shadows and shadow her on the side. When it would seem as he slept, unbeknown to Ronin something that happend next came to the beast attention. Faint and seem insignificant it would appear that somehow. Faith had appear to exhibit some innate ability of control over object as his father had. One which if it were in a diffrent circumstances....would have been a point of pride and joy for him, not that the mere fact she had her was not such and event. But then again on another side...this would no doubt help complicate thing..... |

Arianna Darklighter |

Arianna shifted in her sleep, feeling Ronin by her side, she reached out ensuring he was still there. She did not dream this night, she felt exhausted, but in
a good way, she felt exhilarated, and her skin tingled, so much life had he brought to her. She could feel herself smiling.
Then a sound caught her attention, someone in the kitchen, had to be Faith. What time was it? She did not want to open her eyes, it would mean having to get up, to give up the warmth the closeness, the feeling of connection. It was inevitable, slowly she opened her eyes, and could just make out the ruffled look of Ronin's hair, the scar on his forehead, the curve of his jaw, she couldn't help but smile, she swallowed and just looked at him while he slept. Ahh but was he sleeping, or listening. |
|||
RoninWendigo |

And soon enough just like clockwork Ronin slowly awoke from his slumber....tempted to get up to go about with his routine morning meditation. But then again
with eyes barely open he feels her shift in her sleep. Hands reaching out to feel Ronin form and seem reassure herself that he was indeed still there. That
unlike days past, this was not a dream nor imagination....that he didn't sneaked out in the middle of the night due to some untold duty or such that needed
to be done.That for one he really was there for her and his family....that in the private moment and the kind of bond they shared. Ronin seem hard press not to
sense seem satisfaction, exhilaration and life she felt. That it was soon not hard to miss the smile on her face filled him with a momentary calm.
That is until even before they heard faint sound, Ronin had noted that someone was in the kitchen. That in a brief moment came the hesitation of having to return back to reality. To have perhaps briefly suspend the warmth of holding each other close...some the connect feeling. But like all things would appear inevitable , as soon he then feel her eyes open then gaze back at him. Probably just barely able to make out his ruffled hair, visible scan on his forehead as he himself shifted face her direction. Curve of his jaw visible to her now holding back a smile while his eyes barely noticiable slowly open. Seeing her smile openly, swallowing a bit as she continued look at him as he unassumingly slept. As he then unable to hold it back, Ronin slightly began to grin while his eyes slowly began to flutter open. Arm "Well good morning my queen...i would hope last night was err....much to your liking and ...well guess looking at your smile..." He then jokingly pause to lean over lightly kiss her then slowly reaching out stretch his arm a bit. Before reaching down to hold her close and wrap his arms round her . "....for one night I've won over the winter chill that had seem drift between us. And i know time has come that i ....make things right..." |
|||
Arianna Darklighter |
|||
|
"Your Queen is well satisfied, and very warm, and...I don't know sometimes words just don't express everything, but I'm happy Ronin"
Arianna smiled big, he had known she was watching him, she thought he might be awake.
But as Ronin continued to speak he said something that she didn't quite understand, Arianna gave Ronin a quizzicle look, "Make things right?" Arianna pushed herself up and looked over at Ronin, "For what?" It was one thing she never understood. "We have a lot going on, we always have" As much as Arianna did not want to admit it, Faith was a center of concern, finding out what she was doing, and Ronin would help her do that. Life was not the dream she had in mind....."Shall we get up and get going?" " |
|||
Faith Darklighter Wendigo |
|||
|
Faith got ready for school, after her shower and headed downstairs.
She got a few things together for breakfast, and gathered her things together, and waited for the bedroom door to open. She wasn't angry, but she did not know why she felt the way she did, and she knew inside, that one day, it would all come falling out of her mouth. |
|||
RoninWendigo |
|||
|
"Your Queen is well satisfied, and very warm, and...I don't know sometimes words just don't express everything,
but I'm happy Ronin."
Came her reply and soon enough seeing her smile in a way lighten his mood as he then spoke. "....well that good to hear.....as if anything else my queen you might say.....i aim to please ." Then with a a sly grin on his face for a moment before slowly turn to a slightly serious look. As he then continued on speak that made Arianna appear be unsure of with a quizzical look on his face. "Make things right?" She said as slowly pushed herself up and looked over at him to add. "For what?" Seem still unsure as to what to make of his statement...of the depth of his fears and worry. "Well...you know...." He paused a bit lost for words on what to say which somehow she sense and then spoke "We have a lot going on, we always have." To which he then sense her concern as well for their daughter Ronin then slowly turn to sit by the bed. "That we have and if nothing else...it's not quite the life i would have dream or hope for us. But either way....we get by and move on regardless." Then standing he then move over help her up before heading towards their closet to grab some fresh cloths. Putting them on he then passingly hear her moving about downstairs ."Shall we get up and get going?" She came to say as he then reached over to help her up and once back on her feet. Ronin then swung her slightly to one side and as he stood behind her then began . To wrap his arms round her waist as he then gently kissed her on the cheek. "Well alright....just as long i could have you later all for myself back here....tonight." And slowly the pair began to exit the room, hand in hand...so much in love and barely apart for a moment. Come to cross path with Faith he then turn her speak. "Well good morning my dear Faith..." |
|||
Faith Darklighter Wendigo |
|||
|
"Dad, Mom..you two look......" As she looked at them hand in hand, she grimaced slightly, "inseparable as always..."
She could feel her heart rate increase, and then the anger begin to build, she clenched her teeth, she wasn't going to let this happen now. Her eyes narrowed to slits as she looked to the floor, control control....she thought. She closed her eyes, and then reopened them her parents watching her, it made her skin crawl, and she wasn't sure why. Faith half smiled, "I got school....I'll be home later" She exhaled, and shook her head" |
|||
RoninWendigo |
|||
|
Then with a slight hesitation came Faith reply which for a while made him smile as if nothing else. Next to Arianna, she was the most important thing in his
life and one he'd give up anything to keep safe.
"Dad, Mom..you two look......" Her eye then come gaze at their hand as he then slightly squeeze hers then give her a light kiss on the cheek.Which he guess for some other reason made Faith slight grimace as she continue on. And came the uncertainty he then tried hide calmly as he spoke. "Well....you know how it is with me and your mother...." She then continued to slightly show some discomfort and seem strange reaction to the sight of them.For some unknown reason as all he new for certain was that after that little incident when she was little and given. All the time he'd spent away from her all this time Ronin knew she may have harbors some resent meant of him all this time. Yet being her father and given the love he had for her, he couldn't make himself do anything that would hurt her. And soon turning back towards them she smiled then spoke... "I got school....I'll be home later" Exhaling and shake her head as walked away Ronin still unable shake the feeling prompted walk over and silently. Holding her tight came to slip a message in her mind meant only for her to hear or know. ' Anything the matter?You know can always talk to me ....you can trust me can you ?' He then let her go and just stood there watching as she made her move. |
|||
Faith Darklighter Wendigo |
|||
|
Faith smiled and in a low whisper she replied, "Right Dad, I got it"
Then she started toward the door, and with all of her concentration, she thought back at him, "Later" |
|||
RoninWendigo |
|||
|
By that time thought it ate at him that for some reason Faith had somewhat slowly began become cold to him. Not that much the same soft spoken girl she once
was....and for some reason after the near death incident in her youth. That however much he tried to provide her with everything anyone would ever want
to....sacrifice his very life to ensure her safety. It all slowly seem not to matter as she grew up....the more did she became demanding and stubborn to get
her way.
But despite all this he couldn't help it, she meant so much to him and his wife. That he couldn't deny her anything and no matter how she treated him....she was his little angel. As soon with a smile and a low whisper she replied. "Right Dad, I got it" Then slowly as she started towards the door seem deep in concentration about something. Picking up the faint after thought in her mind.....he then decided move forward by her side. Gently reach over to hug her and kiss her on the forehead like before as he spoke "...Well you take care and i'll be still right here when you come back.....then we can talk....just like before ok?" |
