(( by Atreyu...great song. ^_^))
Jade had indeed had a long night. He'd had quite a bit to read through and between that and worrying over his sister and making plans for the attack on Mygeeto, he hadn't gotten much sleep. He was, however, still up at 4:30 am for the morning shift change. He had decided to take the shortest route today...which was not, surprisingly, the turbolift.
The maintenance tube would have been more than a little roomy for Jade to get through since he was so thin, but his height kept him bumping his head on the top of it. Reaching the junction he wanted, Jade lifted the grate and pulled himself out.

Sunomi had a rather poor night after finally getting back to her shared bunks with the rest of her squad she wound up spending three hours breaking up a near fist fight over a bunk. As her alarm started ring she noted in the back of her head that she had gotten a mere hour of sleep when she awoke at 4:15a.m. She slowly woke there others up telling them to got to the training room after breakfast and showers before she herself hopped into the shower. By 4:39 she was pressed and polished and stepping into the turbo lift towards the bridge. With luck maybe she'd convince him to come to breakfast with her.

By the time Sunomi had reached the bridge, Jade had walked the little way down the corridor to the bridge and was already busy talking to the commander on duty. As expected, there was little to report, and Jade nodded to the man. Turning, he was about to speak to one of the midshipmen when he saw Sunomi enter. She looked about as tired as he felt. It seemed that neither of them had had a very restful night. Striding over, he folded his arms across his chest lightly, a small smirk forming on his face.
You look well rested Captain...
He mused, his eyes showing how mischievous he felt.

Sunomi smirked as jade joked "Very, you?" she asked noting his own tired look as she glanced at him and then across the deck as she saw sever officers turning to look at them. Crossing her arms under her breasts she chose to simple ignore them. "So, up to anything that would interfere with my devious plan of wooing you over a cheap Sith rations breakfast?" she asked smiling slightly.

Jade sighed and shook his head a bit at her statement, giving her a look that said it might not have been the best thing to say.
I'm not up to anything particularly important at the moment, no.
He said simply, not seeming to let her words get to him, though his eyes stated something completely different. Turning he motioned the commander over.
You have the bridge for now, I'll be back in an hour or so.
He stated. The man gave him a curious look, but a feeling seemed to radiate from Jade that made the commander recoil slightly and he nodded his head.
"Yes sir."
Nodding, Jade motioned for Sunomi to lead the way.

Sunomi fake glared at jade. "Don't look at me like that." she said walking up to him and poking him in the chest. "I'm simply asking you to a meal." she smiled when jade finally agreed pulling him into a hug just after the commander pulled back and sunomi started dragging him to the turbo lift. "Now come on we don't have all day." she said pulling him behind her into the turbo lift as the tuned and she pressed the button she saw several of the bridge crew smile or look stunned see just giggled. "I don't think their that sad to see you go."

The poke, he simply glared at, but the hug, he recoiled and stepped swiftly into the lift. Once the doors had closed, he removed himself from her grip and rather forcefully straightened out his uniform.
Captain Sunomi, may I inform you that I didn't appreciate that display at all. I will not have you make a fool out of me in front of my men.
He warned, his bloody gaze making his appearance steely. It was obvious that it had made him more than a little embarrassed.

Sunomi set her jaw and traded her own glare with jade before setting her face into a pout. "Oh, lighten up, you act like a man thrice your age." she said sighing "Look I very much any of them cared and if they did who give a damn. Your still their commander they'll still fallow you." she said plastering a stubborn look on her face and on hand on her hip.

Chuckling at Sunomi's glare, he shook his head.
Perhaps, Sunomi, it doesn't bother you, but I run things a certain way, and actions like that can undermine my command. Besides...it DOES bother me.
He said simply, blinking at her, all traces of what little anger he felt gone.

Sunomi crossed her arms under her breast. "Yes, sir" she said bitterly looking away from jade. "I was going to invite you to my men's training, sir, but I'm sure your to busy, Sir. To work on improving your Hand to hand fighting, sir." despite her tone she was rather hurt by jade reaction and spent the rest of the turbo lift ride looking at the floor.

Great wonderful hole he'd just dug himself Jade thought bitterly as he watched her. --Hell hath no fury...-- he thought and sighed.
What I said was not to elicit this kind of reaction Sunomi. I very much appreciate your friendship, but....you have to try to understand my position. I am a newly deemed commander, fresh from the Republic. I've had to work around more than one problem due to these men not respecting the authority I've been given by this military. The only way I've managed to make it this long is because they fear me to a degree and because I notice their problems as soon as they arise and stop them early.
He rubbed a temple lightly and collected this thoughts once more.
This isn't to say that you cant tease me...though it tests my patience at times...or be yourself around me, but I DO ask that you monitor some of your more flirtatious actions while in front of my men. Your men...I don't command them, you do, I will not interfere with that, but...what happened up there was....to say the least....embarrassing. Something that I'm fairly sure you wouldn't appreciate were the tables turned.
Jade did his best to explain his reaction, but his cynical and pessimistic side told him that it would be useless, falling on deaf ears. As the lift slowed to a stop, Jade looked over at her for a moment.
I would like to join your training, however. It's been a while since I've used those skills.

Sunomi slowly nodded. "I'm sorry I over reacted it just...well it hurt ok. I know that's no excuse for being, well, acting like I did. I'm sorry."she said to explanation still not looking at him. She glanced at him as she started talking again and snorted. "I've walked in on my second in command in bed with one of the other members of my squad I hardly doubt you could do anything more embarrassing then that." she said finally looking jade in the eyes and hesitantly smiling at him. "So, no hard feelings?" she asked hesitatingly as the lift slowed and he said He'd love to join them. "Good," she said smiling "I need a sparing partner."

He nodded and motioned for her to go first as the door slid open. The smell of food wafted through the corridor toward them as they exited. Honestly, Jade wasn't the least bit hungry. He never was one to eat breakfast, but he would at least have some fruit just to appease Sunomi.
What time are you planning on this training then?
He asked as they walked down the corridor and into the mess hall. More than a few people looked up at the new comers and even more as friends were nudged to see that Jade was actually here in the morning...to date an unheard of happening.

Sunomi took in the smell of the mess as she entered not that recongnized the smell of the food, but it did make her stomach rumble. "Well, I told them to meet in the practice room and start training so their probably already there." she said smiling lightly until they entered the mess proper and noticed all the crew men staring at here. "What did I grow a third eye." she joked to jade gesturing subtly to the crewmen.

He chuckled slightly and shook his head.
Why would you ask such a question, it's not as if we're being watched by the crew while they're supposed to be eating or anything. You see, if they WERE, I could send them all off to their duties now and...
He said loudly enough for the people around them to hear, many of whom swiftly returned to their food. Jade smirked and chuckled a bit.
It wasn't you they were looking at. Not specifically anyway. It was me. I've not eaten breakfast on this ship yet, so I'm an unexpected appearance.
He said quietly to her as they reached the area with the food. Jade was content to pick up an apple and an orange, then was content to wait for Sunomi.

"You must be very hungry com lunch or do you just eat in your room?" she asked as she selected a hand full of fruit and a cup of coffee before turning towards the table. "If your interested me or byonce could teach you a little on the laser rifle while we're down there." she said finally taking a bite of out a sugary fruit from Muunilist. "How much time do you think you'll have to visit anyway?"

Jade chuckled at her first comment.
If you haven't noticed yet, I don't eat much Sunomi. My main meal is dinner actually. What I'm eating now is typically my lunch, and I skip this meal.
He informed her, tossing the apple up and catching it repeatedly as he waited. When she was done, he headed over to a lone table and sat down starting to peel the orange.
Actually, I would be interested. I was trained in CQC...melee and hand to hand...and not heavily in long range. I've never had an eye for long ranges when it comes to weapons. Even blasters are...troublesome for me.
He admitted. As much as he didn't like it, Jade wasn't perfect at everything.
As for how much time...and hour, two tops. I would rather keep it closer to the hour mark, however.
Was his reply as he took a section of the orange and ate it.

Sunomi nodded as she took a bite out of the sugary fruit. "I generally eat a fairly light breakfast myself." she said taking a sip of her coffee before smiling at jade. "Well, it's nice to know there is something I can teach you I was beginning to think you were a god among men." she laughed before shaking her head. "Hour is fine." she said slowly "As long as you come back after lunch. I will turning into a grade A shot in no time."

Jade chuckled slightly as he continued eating.
I am hardly a god of any kind, Sunomi.
He replied with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
Besides, I doubt you'll turn me into an ace shot at anything. I'm quite bad at using long ranged weapons, and I don't particularly care to learn much more than I know.
He added simply. Why? Honestly, he preferred the close combat...one got to know your enemy better that way. You had to have wits and speed and accuracy...you always had to be ahead of your opponent in close quarters, with a blaster or rifle, you didn't have that. It lost the intimacy.

"Well, maybe I want you to be my god." she said blowing a kiss in the air at jade before grinning impishly at him and sticking her tongue out. "Nonsense jade you simple need the proper, encouragement."she said giggling slightly and eating the last chunk of her fruit and downing the last of her coffee. "Ready jade?"
