It's Late Enough [LA1]

[Daunt]

"Better's not the word. Just more urgent. If you stand me up for whatever reason, I'll take it in stride too and hope for the next time. We both have our lives."

[Dapper Dog]

"I'll be here," she said proudly. She finished the food and rose, "So we'll just take it in stride, no pressure."

Her heart pounded, there was some pressure.

[Daunt]

"Well, some pressure keeps your muscles pumping." He joked to relieve a bit of her tension." He rose as well, to his two metres, looking at her with his gaze of molten uranium. "Any particular way you'd like to finish our flash date with?"

[Dapper Dog]

We should kiss she thought and then said, "A really great hand shake!"

She offered her hand.

[Daunt]

He thought she'd want at least a hug, but if it was a hand shake, it was good too. Different people, different needs and habits. He took her hand. "You mean like ending with a brofist or something?"

[Dapper Dog]

"I guess that works too," she said.

[Daunt]

So it ended with one, not too strong. "See you next time, Lyla. Thank you for making this one enjoyable."

[Dapper Dog]

Lyla pulled her hood up and departed, that was an unexpected encounter and although he probably didn’t know a great deal about her target he could surprise her and he was really intense and cool. Reminded her of her father, it was complicated, just with less wrinkles and lightning.

She needed a speeder though, she had a speeder but things happen and she was certain that would sort itself out quite quickly. In fact she could feel the three waiting around the corner, the Gammorean wanted blood and her cronies just wanted to hurt something. She considered just going for the throat, but bullies were predictable they needed to gloat first…

And it began the Gammorean grabbed her and slammed her against the wall and sneered as it brought the vibro-blade to her face. Hey she needed one of those, she closed her eyes and then unleashed a kick which allowed her to push back and then curled up like a spring as her feet tapped the wall and sprung forward in a surprising tackle taking the Gammorean down to the ground. The weapon clattered on the ground, but soon it flew to her hand just in time to parry a second a blade from one of the cronies. It was like training all over again.

Using the cronies momentum, she easily gutted him as she felt the second one try to line up a blaster shot, but his hands were shaking. This must have been his first time trying to kill, she remembered her first… every little girl needs to murder someone. Maybe she had a messed up a childhood, that would explain a lot about her. She spun and threw the blade right into his chest, she heard him gurgle and then collapse.

Daunt was really nice, and really cool she really hoped they would get to see each other, even if it was a distraction, she liked it. Hunting sounded fun too as she moved to the Gammorean and stepped on her throat and then pushed down until she heard a satisfying crunch. He was probably a good hunter too, he was such a cool guy.

She searched the corpses and there were keys, and like that she had a speeder.
