Chuckling slightly at her teasing, Jade moved aside as she 'showed him how it was done'. Good, another weapon he'd slipped away from. Really, he hated guns...they were cumbersome and inaccurate and so impersonal. If he was going to kill a person, he wanted to be in close range...it was the only way he felt any remorse for the life he took. He'd learned that the hard way. Feeling he was done, he glanced at the time.
Alright Sunomi...that's it for me. I have to get back to the bridge before slaving away at the plans for Mygeeto tonight.
He wasn't at all thrilled with the prospect of dealing with the attack on the planet, but really he had very little choice but to do so. Putting his hands in his pockets, he fingered the small book that rested there in one pocket and the cylinder that rested in the other.
Would you like to meet again later today?
He asked casually. In all reality, the fiery woman had gained more than a little of his attention in the past two days, and he was feeling more and more curious about her by the day it seemed. Anyway, what harm could a bit of time spent together do?

Sunomi sighed as jade said he had to go and nodded perhaps a little to quickly. "Alright I suppose I'll let you off the hook this one time." she said as if it was some major ingagement he was skipping out on. "But I'd better see you at lunch mister!." she said attempted to stifle a grin as she pointed her finger at his chest. Finally she let the grin widen out and dropped her finger. "Have a good day." she reached up and grappled his collar so she could kiss him on his left cheek before disappearing from sight before jade could react in a flurry of laughing.

Shaking his head, the crimson eyed man chuckled at her actions. Well, she certainly did like to joke...something he didn't find himself doing very often lately.
Are you sure you weren't born on Corellia?
He teased as she dropped her 'threatening' finger. Jade quirked an eyebrow and smirked a bit at the thought. If she had he might never have joined the military at all...he'd have been far to infatuated when he was younger.
Oh I will. I always enjoy tormenting....I mean....guiding....my crew.
He replied to her next statement. As she grabbed him around the neck, and subsequently pulled him downward, and planted a kiss on his cheek, Jade both bristled and found himself extremely amused by her actions. Watching her dart off before he could really react to her actions Jade simply smirked and shook his head, shrugging slightly at the crew member who had stopped to look, baffled, at the scene. Feeling even more amused at the man's surprised reaction to his simple shrug Jade walked off chuckling silently as he made his way back up to the bridge.

Sunomi much to her dislike found herself writing reports for most of the morning while her troops took the day off. She finished polishing off her performance report at eleven twenty and she was diffidently grateful for the break as she stood up and stretched her sore back. She left for the bridge a few minutes later still debating on her last report one she had already put off far to long. She apologized quickly as she bumped a large rather surly looking Deveronian woman and slipped by her taking refuge in the turbo lift to the bridge. As her body slagged she began fretting again about her report "What would she say about jade?" she asked her self as the turbo lift began slowly. She couldn't see him immediately as she shoved her worry down and plastered a smile on her face before stepping out onto the bridge.

Veera grunted slightly as some smaller human woman ran face first into her. Glaring daggers, the dust-brown devaronian woman simply grunted and went about her way. Obviously that had been Jade's new 'pet' she had just run into...at least, she fit the description. Not bothering to give it a second thought, she headed to their ship...no doubt Kuuto would be there soon.
As Sunomi reached the bridge, Jade and a slightly shorter devaronian male stood on the command deck, apparently speaking. The Devaronian's horns were long and curved back in two graceful waves over the back of his skull, his skin a deep red. The two seemed to know each other well, since they gesticulated as they spoke, both seeming adamant about their point of view. Jade, folding his arms across his chest, seemed to shoot a death glare at the devaronian, who then proceeded to laugh.
Only a few of the newer crew members seemed to be bothered by the spectacle. Jade didn't seem to notice the looks, nor did he seem to overly mind the red tinted man laughing. No, instead he simply shook his head and chuckled a bit before putting a hand on the man's shoulder and walking up toward the lifts. Only then did Jade seem to notice Sunomi there, and he managed...what could only have been construed as....an embarrassed smile. For Jade, however, that was only a lopsided smile. Walking up to her, the devaronian looked her up and down, sizing her up. He was only a bit taller than Sunomi, putting him between the two in his size. Grinning, his sharp teeth glinted white as he chuckled.
"So this is the little bird who's caught your attention Hawk? Hmm, I suppose she's pretty for one of your race...but I don't think that's..."
...That's enough Kuuto...get out of here devil, before your mate tears my ship apart waiting for you.
The man, Kuuto, simply laughed and shook his head.
"Oh, I see...I see...You always were strange that way War Hawk....I doubt I'll ever fully understand you."
Turning his green eyes to the woman before them, Kuuto bowed slightly and took her hand, kissing the back of it.
"And you must be Sunomi? Don't let this old war hawk trouble you...he's just a sack of bu.."
Kuuto...
Jade warned. Huffing slightly, the devaronian smirked and turned to face Jade once more.
"Well, it isn't my fault you are...I was just telling the truth. Beside, if you won't treat her right, I will...."
He said with a wink to Sunomi and a lopsided smirk. Jade bristled slightly, his eyes narrowing.
Hmph, I know you're version of 'treating someone right'...and I would prefer you didn't.
His voice, though calm, held a hint of ice behind it.

Sunomi smiled as she spotted jade speaking quickly and energetically with a deveronian man she took short notice at jades semi grin before the deveronian man blocked her view and started speaking to her. She blushed slightly as he finally greeted her specifically bending down to brush her hand with his lips. "Yes, I'm sunomi, Kuuto I take it your name is?" she said slowly as the man continued. She couldn't help, but grin as jade huffed dodging around the alien man she slid up beside jade slightly brushing his side almost innocently as she stood beside him. "So," she said addressing the deverionian. "I suppose your mate would be the rather irritable woman a brushed up against on my way here. no, would she?" she asked slyly. "She seemed rather annoyed as she was heading this way I think you may like to leave." she said pursing her lips slightly. Well, it's not a complete lie she thought to herself slowly.

Jade tensed almost imperceptibly as Sunomi brushed his side slightly. The devaronian, however, noticed and chuckled. This didn't last long, however, seeing as once sunomi mentioned Veera, he furrowed his brow, excused himself, and hurried off. Turning to Sunomi, Jade simply shook his head and sighed.

Sunomi chuckled as jade looked to her. "Don't worry jady she's not actually coming this way." She smiled at him and grabbed his coat sleeve. "But I felt it wasn't a poor Idea to have him leave so, I came up with a little white lie, now." she said pulling him along slightly to the turbo lift. "It is lunch time and I think we should get some things and go back to your room." she said pulling him into the turbo lift before she finished. "So, what do you think?"

I'm thinking I don't have much of a choice...
Jade grumbled as he was nearly dragged into the lift. Once inside, he wrested his coat sleeve from Sunomi and straightened his uniform.
What an annoying woman you are....honestly, my sister has more manners than you.
He griped, as he dusted off his coat slightly, patting out the wrinkles.
As for Veera....I'm not worried about her. She may seem to have a bad temper, but she's a decent person.

"Oh, quit being so difficult jady." she said standing up on the tops of her tip-toes to give him a peck on the cheek. "So I misread your glance, So I'm not a emphatic as you." she slid over and kissed him on the lips. "Besides." she pulled back and leaned against the back of the lift walls. "I want you to like me. If I turned on the manners it wouldn't be me." feeling the turbolift halt she glanced at jade before brushing past him. "Well, come on I don't know what to grab you."

Jade sighed dramatically and shook his head, pushing his glasses up his nose slightly. This woman became more and more trying by the moment. What was he going to do with her? Oh what was he going to do with her and her annoying little nicknames for him? Folding his arms across his chest, Jade simply followed her out of the lift and down to the cafeteria.
I told you Sunomi, I don't normally eat much before the evening meal.
He replied simply, coming up beside her.
Anyway, it doesn't matter how you interpreted my look. I've been told before that I'm difficult to read, so I'm not worried about it. Just know that I've known the two of them for quite a few years now.

"Well, I'll just have to help you with that won't I." Sunomi replied to his statement about not eating much with a raised eyebrow. "And of course your hard to read your like a glacier." with a grin she slid her left arm around his waist and snuggled up against him while they were still alone in the hall. "But, I'll get you to warm up jady if it's the last thing I do." She laughed before disentwining from him before he threw a fit and sniffed the air. "Well atleast something their serving smells good. And you." she said pointing a finger at jade. "Are getting a full plate and eating it."

Jade huffed slightly and shook his head at her comments. Like a glacier, yes, that sounded about accurate. Most people thought of him as cold...well, he was....normal human emotion had never been one of Jade's strong points. He didn't understand them well, and he didn't try to emulate them...in fact, he rarely felt them...at least, according to HIS knowledge he rarely felt them. The most emotion he'd felt was around Sunomi, and that was typically irritation...or something. Yes, it was most certainly irritation.
You're the most insufferable woman I know Sunomi.
He stated, his voice flat, only the tiniest hint of humor tinging it. He doubted that he'd eat much of...what ever it was they were serving. It smelled decent, but he wasn't hungry. This was the cause of his obvious light weight. Upon reaching the mess hall, he followed Sunomi over to the food station. It appeared to be some form of soup...vegetable perhaps? Not the worst thing for a lunch, he supposed. Grabbing a bowl and spoon, he passed the sandwiches and went to find a seat.

"Well I guess that's the kind of woman it takes to love you." Sunomi replied with a wide grin to Jade as she accepted her own bowl of soup and followed jade. Picking a seat seeming at random their position left them out of sight of the rest of the mess. She took a deep sniff of the soup before taking a tentative taste, yep vegetable she thought to herself as she swallowed the spoon full and then patted the seat right next to her. "Well, come on jady I want to snuggle." she said laughing at him as she took in another spoon of liquid before finally appearing serious for the first time in a while. "If I'm really bothering you I'll stop." she said looking down into her soup for a moment.

Jade simply blinked at her as she patted the seat beside her. Snorting derisively, he took up a spoon full of the soup and decided not to reply to that particular statement. Yes, she was really starting to wear on his nerves.
Yes, Sunomi, you are wearing my nerves thin. You're very lucky I happen to enjoy your presence. I'm not a kind person, Sunomi, not accustomed to dealing leniently with boisterous young women, nor am I a 'warm' person who takes to emotions as....unbalanced....as yours.
He stated simply, his red eyes boring into hers with a look that could send most men cowering. It wasn't intentional, not consciously anyway. It was Jade's built in protection device...his sister had the same look, a look that could tear right through a person if their will was weak enough, but it was the red color of his eyes that added the extra effect...that and his aptitude with the force. Aunna, however, had her piercing blue eyes that could send chills. Either way, the Borgonias had a powerful protection when something or someone got to close to them, and Sunomi was the target of Jade's at the moment.

Sunomi lowered her head farther as jade snorted and began hunching her shoulders it was coming she new it. She was trying so hard to make him feel happy that the fact she was doing quite to opposite almost felt like well, getting hit with a stun baton was the only thing she could remember that felt anything like it. "Jade...." she said weakly bringing her violet eyes up to meet his before flinching away from his near glare and looking back down to her soup stirring the surface with her spoon saying quietly to her self "I'm sorry." before bouncing to her feet and turning away from him. "You'll have to excuse me Admiral Borgonia, I just remembered something I needed to do." she lied as she rushed away like she was on an errand even shoving her way between to troopers as she made a bee-line towards her bunk, hopefully it'd still be empty with all her colleagues down planet.

Huffing lightly, Jade watched as Sunomi looked more and more defeated, but his temper had gotten the better of him. It wasn't until he had finished his diatribe and she apologized, swiftly excusing herself, that he groaned and put his face in his hand, the two soldiers she had shoved through looking over at him questioningly. Feeling their look, Jade brought his face up to gaze at them, his glare cutting through the two men like a hot knife through butter. Immediately they scampered away.
What was he going to do now? One part of him, the cold and distant majority, told him it was better off this way...he wouldn't hurt her any further, and she wouldn't hurt him. There was, however, that hidden part of him, the part he tucked away years ago during his youth, that told him he was just hurting them both by acting this way...that things could turn out differently than last time. Typically the stoic man would have ignored this more sensitive side, but...seeing her act that way, hurrying off to cry alone...it won out at last. With a sigh, he took both bowls and put them with the other dishes left by the soldiers to be cleaned later in the scullery.
Shoving his hands in his pockets, he made his way back to the lift and leaned against the wall. What was he thinking, going to talk to her after hurting her like that? He must have been insane. He had every right to feel the way he did, and he hadn't been lying to her, so why in the galaxy had she been so hurt? He just couldn't understand it. Feeling the lift slow to a stop, he stepped out and into the corridor. Turning, he headed to where the team's bunks were. There was little doubt she would be there, and with a half attempt to use the force to find her, he did indeed confirm her whereabouts. Stopping before the closed door, he rapped on the metal door with his knuckles.

Omi stared with watery eyes at the under side of the bunk above her as she laid sprawled out. She knew this was stupid hardly worth this amount of sadness over such a thing, but it didn't seem to matter what she knew at the moment only what she felt and was she felt hurt. She could here the rapping on the door and quickly brushed off some of the wetness from her eyes before moving towards the door. Once at the door she touched the panel next to the door. "Who is it?" she asked in a somewhat strained voice.

Sighing, at first he didn't think she would answer, or perhaps she didn't hear...but then he heard movement. Stepping back slightly, he heard the com open and her strained voice. He'd really put his foot in it this time, hadn't he? Groaning inwardly, he sighed a bit before replying.
Can I come in Sunomi?
He asked simply. Expected answer: no. Hoped for answer: yes. Chance of receiving hoped for answer: 10%. Shaking his head, Jade fiddled with the collapsed spear in his pocket, running a thumb idly over the grips on it as he waited.

Omi pressed her for head as she listened to what she quickly realized was Jades voice. Biting back a sob she prepared to tell him no, tell him to leave, but when she keyed the comm she couldn't tell him to go and instead said nothing until she choked out a quite squeaky yes before sitting on a near by bunk with her back to the door. Sitting and waiting she tried desperately to dry her eyes so jade wouldn't see her as she was and sagged down hunching her back and shoulders as she waited.
