GESB: Cursed Pride adventure

[Darth Revan]

When Silver uttered the word "father", Parker hooked onto that. Keeping his voice calm, he continued, "Yes your father. He's here, here on the ship with you. You're safe here, with your father, with Morgan. Picture your father. Picture him there with you. He'll keep you safe from whatever you see. He'll protect you from whatever attacks. Nothing will hurt you."

[Midnight_Huntress]

She listened and pictured him there with her. The memories began to receed back into the dark where she had left them. Slowly and one by one. She shook her head once more before slowly opening her eyes to the room.

[Darth Revan]

Parker looked into Silver's eyes as she opened them and smiled, "Hey, there you are. Welcome back beautiful."

[Midnight_Huntress]

As she focused, she seen Parker before her. She had been breathing a little heavily from fear, but looking into his eyes helped. "Parker." she said, not a question but a statement.

[Darth Revan]

Keeping his voice soft, though unable to hide the excitement, Parker replied, "Hey. Yeah it's me." He stroked her hair, "You gave us a scare for a moment."

[Gaz]

Morgan heard Silver's voice and said, "Welcome back, darlin'. Glad to see you still with us." He put a hand on her arm.

"Look who's awake," Asda said as she came into view. "Take it easy, Silver. You lost a lot of blood. We're giving you a transfusion right now. Nearly done though."

That was when she went back into doctor mode. "I want you to tell me how you feel."

[Darth Revan]

Parker moved away from Silver to allow room for Morgan and Asda. He took the time to recollect his helmet. He left it off and just held it at his side.

[Midnight_Huntress]

She laid a hand on her Father's which rested on her arm, and then she looked at Asda. "I feel drained, tired. A littls sore, but otherwise, I feel okay." she told her.

[Gaz]

"That's good to hear," Asda said. "You'll have to take it easy for a few days so you don't rip the stitches. The transfusion will be done in just a few minutes."

"Gotta promise not to scare me like that anymore," Morgan said with a chuckle.

(I'll post more after I grab lunch)

[Darth Revan]

Parker sat back watched Silver conversating with her father. He was happy she was conscious and wanted to give her time to just speak with Morgan. He wanted to replentish the grenade he threw, but he didn't want to leave Silver's side; nor did he show any signs of wanting to leave. He sat back with his arms crossed and a warm smile on his face.

[Gaz]

Morgan used his other hand to grab his communicator.

"Gaz," he said, "how are things up there?"

"Quiet so far," Gaz said, "and that makes me nervous. After a caper like we just pulled...quiet concerns me. Too many things happen when it's quiet."

"Did you send the info we grabbed to Cortex?" Morgan asked.

"No worries," Gaz replied, "he'll send it back when he's certain it's clean. Should be soon. By the way did I mention..."

"Yeah," Morgan interrupted, "you did. They won't be coming after us. They were too busy with the distraction and they never got an ID on the Pride. Shuttle was disguised, couldn't be traced to us."

"Well," Gaz said after a moment, "we're gonna have to stop at a mid-planet to re-fuel and re-supply before we head back to the bar. Just letting ya know."

"Took a long time to get to that point, didn't ya?" Morgan said before he put his communicator away.

He turned back to the others. "Mid-planets are sort of the equivalent of the middle class. Not as crowded and high class as the Inner Planets and not as out there as the Outers. Hope you don't mind a brief pit stop."

[Midnight_Huntress]

"It wasn't intentional, I promise." she smiled. She took a couple of breaths to stop the small dizziness she had. While her father talked to Gaz, she turned her head and seen Parker and smiled softly.

[Darth Revan]

Parker returned Silvers smile. When Morgan addressed them his face whipped back to his normal serious soldier expression. He stood, placing his hands behind him in the "at ease" position and said, "Not at all sir. I request to stay with Silver. In case trouble shows up, I would be able to protect her in her fragile state."

[Gaz]

Morgan blinked for a second and said, "You really don't have to call me sir. We're kind of...outlaws. We keep it loosey-goosey."

Asda raised her eyebrows as she got ready to remove the transfusion equipment. "Did you really just say that?"

Morgan paused for a second and said, "Um...yes. Yes, I did."

"Promise me you'll never say it again?" Asda asked.

"I can safely guarantee that," Morgan replied.

"I'm taking out the needle," Asda informed Silver, "but I need you to lie there for a bit longer."

[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver laughed at what he said and then nodded her understanding to Asda. She didn't feel like she could get up just yet anyway.
