Knock, knock (Day 10 LE)

[Ria'la Tu'roth]

The beach had been great. Fun even. He'd almost forgotten what a night without drinking was like.

Which found him knocking at a certain door . . . pointedly without the two droids who had been sent to recharge.

[Dapper Dog]

Rayne answered, his room was neat and tidy and two bags packed on his bed.

[Ria'la Tu'roth]

Ria'la smiled at him.

"Leaving us so soon? You were going to say goodbye weren't you?"

He leaned against the door frame.

[Dapper Dog]

"I am not a goodbye kind of person, with things settled here need to get back out there and get to work," he said honestly.

"The Empire won't rest."

[Ria'la Tu'roth]

"No it won't. Not after what we've done to them here. And the others have done elsewhere."

He took a step closer, resting one hand on Rayne's arm.

"You going right now, or do you have a little time?"

[Dapper Dog]

"There is a ship waiting but it can wait a few more minutes, Ria'la," he said to the reporter. "Just don't like to stay idle."

[Ria'la Tu'roth]

"Only a few minutes. Well I'll have to be quick then."

He quashed a feeling of disappointment and stepped up to Rayne to kiss him.

"Thank you. You've helped give us hope."

[Dapper Dog]

"It's your people that did the hard work, I simply gave them some opportunities to make a difference," he responded.

"It's only the start, which means there is more work to be done elsewhere." He grabbed his bags and added, "You gave yourselves hope."

[Ria'la Tu'roth]

He received another hug as time available shortened.

"If you ever come back here, you'll know where to find me."

[Dapper Dog]

Rayne smiled and said, "If I ever come back, maybe I won't leave. But first there is an Empire to get rid of."

"Stay hopeful," he departed.

[Ria'la Tu'roth]

Ria'la watched him go.

"As long as there's even just one of us left to fight, there is hope."
