𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 - 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭
Tumblr media
Hello hello my lovely birdies! It's Tuesday today which means I am now back with a new small playlist for the week! But first things first! How are you doing? How was your weekend? Did anything exciting happen or maybe did you try anything new? I personally took the weekend to relax! Went out with some friends, got myself some nice meals throughout the day and then crashed uninterrupted the entire night hahaha I think I deserved it after working so hard the past few months! Talking about that...
Do you guys remember the project I told you all about that I was so excited for? Well! Here it comes! Official drop is on Thursday but I believe it's ok to share it with you already-
I'm officially launching my own makeup brand!
[𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬]
It's been a long way to it, but finally it's done and ready to be launched and I know this might not be what many of you expected BUT I am super excited for it! I'm very passionate about fashion and makeup is a really important part of it too! First drop will be a small collection of gel glitter. Do you ever go get some nice glitter makeup and it turns out its just sticky gel with one single layer of glitter at the top? Or maybe you're deceived by those beautiful stock pictures and when you have the real thing the glitter is barely in the mix? I'm tired of it too! So I've I've working hard on creating my own glitter gel that not only isn't a complete disappointment but also goes well in all skins! If you've noticed the pretty glitter make up on my pics lately, that's it! That's my Popsynote.
I'll be talking more in depth later on with the official post but I couldn't keep it a secret anymore LOL Please support me in this new journey if you want and can and hopefully together we can grow and make more new awesome things!

ANYHOW! It's been a second since I last shared music! I try to always share new releases because that's the best way to get into some new artists and/or update you if you maybe missed something that dropped recently! So today's playlist is exclusively September releases. Autumn has JUST arrived too and I think starting a new season with new music is just the right way to do so!
I don't want to make this post longer, so I'll be leaving now! I'm on my way to meet with some friends yet again- This time is business related though! But I still hope to have fun and a good day and I hope so do you.
Remember to take care of yourselves, stay warm and hydrated and don't overwork your body and mind too much! We'll see each other soon, alright? All the love! -Yura ♡

Hello! Can I get 13 with Kazuha, Gorou, and Xiao please? Thank you in advance!
Note: I hope this good I haven't written a multiple before! I've seen a bunch of romance lately, so just gotta chanel that into my writing lol. I also apologize for lateness, I was sick. I also would like to make a quick apology over messing up characters as I've never played the game and just listen to voice lines.
Kazuha
It happened on your first date. You didn't know what to expect when it happened.
The date had been going smoothly. You both had been enjoying yourselves and it was the perfect first date.
You ended the event not too far into the evening. Of course you had known this man for quite some time. He isn't a busy man, not normally anyway. But this time he did have some place to be. He was a traveling samari and heard of trouble Liyue and wanted to help.
So he was leaving for awhile. Even as this being your first date you knew you loved him.
So of course you had to give him a kiss before he left late that evening.
At the restaurant you had spent your evening, you thought over how it was supposed to go.
You had never really kissed anyone before, but you knew you wanted to.
He had paid and was already saying goodbye to you when you decided even a small peck would do. You simple closed the space between the both of you and placed a small gentle kiss on his right cheek.
His face heated up a bit but continued as if nothing happened but his speech sped up. You finally say your goodbyes too as you both leave the restaurant.
This made you hope for some kind of future.
Gorou
The puppy general had been your friend for awhile. Stuck by your side since childhood. You've seen your friend grow and change and he's been with you through your changes as well.
So it wasn't a surprise when you started to catch feelings. You'd notice how happy he made you. How his little tail wag when he saw you when he was off duty. It started to make you think he might have feelings aswell.
You decided to test your theory. Now of course you hadn't immediately gone to kissing him. No , no he is just incredibly dense. You've tried other things before, almost straight up to the point of just stating that you were madly in love with him.
So you planned it out, right at the end of you hanging out together you would give him a little kiss on the cheek.
So that's what you did. Right as your lips touch his cheek in a good bye kiss way his face heats up immediately, his ears perks up and the rest of his motions stutters in the middle of telling you goodbye.
It takes him a minute as you wait for a proper response sweetly smiling. When he does finally get out of shock he acts as if nothing happened but was still very red in the face and makes a quick get away.
You sigh, hoping you get through to him. But knowing him there's still a chance you might not.
Xiao
You had only met him recently but he had this mysterious allure to him. All though he only spoke of darkness he was your light. Brightening you day as he went on with his life.
To be honest when you first met him you thought he was some angtsy asshole. But his words spelled truth and hurt. You had grown to care for him deeply in his pain. You wanted nothing more than to see him get some relief from what hurt him so.
But you didn't expect yourself to be the presence that brought him light as he did you. Will his words spelled distrust, it did turn out he had also deeply cared about you and trusted you.
Which is why he ended up kissing you. It had been a later evening while he didn't enjoy the time he sure enjoyed your company. Suddenly he pulled you in for a kiss, his lips were soft and the kiss was gentle. This had completely shocked you coming from Mr. King darkness. But not matter the fact you had leaned in. Unknowing to the fact that you'd soon date.

everybody business
Tumblr media
     THE NEXT DAY has been even more dull than the last, and you know you have to do something besides your repetitive sulking.
all you can think about is suna.
had he slept well? had he eaten? where was he, anyway?
what are you supposed to do next?
your phone rings, and after a rushed bit of thinking and a few rings, you decide to answer.
“hello?” you tiredly raise the device to your ear.
"hey," answers kita. "you haven't been answering any of our calls."
"ah, sorry." you rack your brain for a lie. "just been busy."
"hmm," kita thinks, perceptive as always. "well, i was hoping if we could meet up."
"i don't think i can, sorry-"
"(Y/N)," he says sternly. "i know you're not busy."
you stay quiet. kita isn’t as close to suna as his two underclassmen are — the miya twins — but he knows much from the way they’ve been acting recently after every time he brings up the middle blockers name. if they’re having problems with him, then you were bound to, too.
"i'll pick you up in the afternoon, and i'll text you the details." he instructs. "please take care of yourself."
kita ends the call, but your phone hangs limp in your hand.
when was the last time suna had said those words to you?
Tumblr media
"I'M SORRY FOR picking you up on such short notice," kita apologizes as he holds the door to the café open for you. "i have to go back to the fields after tomorrow, and i wasn't sure when the next time you'd pick up the phone would be."
"sorry," you look down in embarrassment. "i'll try to answer."
he brushes it off as nothing and the two of you situate yourselves in front of each other at a table near the window. he excuses himself to get your order, only taking a few short minutes to return with two disposable cups.
you open yours and the familiar scent of sweet tea wafts into your nostrils.
"you remembered?" you ask, surprised.
"of course," he laughs lightly. "you were always drinking tea on the colder days of practice."
you smile as you look down at your tea, drinking the hot beverage in short sips in-between your conversation with kita.
"tell me, what's on your mind?" he asks, knowing that a 'how are you?' wouldn’t quite get him the answer he was looking for.
"i… don't know.…" you answer, looking back down at your cup.
"i'm not asking who's in the wrong and who's in the right," he reassures. "i just want to make sure you're okay."
his words alone are enough to make you realize that you aren't okay, and you decide to confide in kita.
"i'm not sure." you answer. "i'm not sure how i'm supposed to be feeling."
he nods, not wanting to interrupt your flow of emotions.
"it's like, one day, he cares about me — not that he doesn't, it's just that on that particular day, he's showering me with affection — but the next, he's giving me one-word answers and disappearing off to god knows where, not answering my messages or calls and coming back in the ungodly hours of the night."
kita's surprised, but he tries to hide it to not make you worry anymore than you already are.
"and he left yesterday, after telling me he didn't have anything planned for the day… and he still hasn't come back."
"have you tried contacting him?" asks kita.
"same old," you mutter, referring to your unread messages and missed calls. "he hasn't replied, or seen anything.”
"oh." kita raises his eyebrows slightly.
he doesn't know what to do, but it doesn't seem like you want anyone else to get more involved than he already is.
"yeah," you sigh, playing with the cup. "but thank you for this. i really needed it, even if i was too stubborn to admit."
"it's no problem." he smiles, always selfless.
that is a quality you always admire in kita. he always puts others above himself, making sure they get what they need one way or another.
he was much more subtle about it when someone could be as stubborn as you, but he knew he needed to be upfront.
"so, what are you gonna do now?" kita asks.
before you can answer, a familiar voice speaks up.
"oi, kita, is that you?" aran exclaims. "and (Y/N)!"
"hi, aran." you smile.
kita offers a similar smile, and aran pulls up a chair to your table. the three of you end up reminiscing on memories and catching up, losing track of the time completely.
the sun begins to set when aran notices that he has to get home, leaving you and kita outside of the cafe. he insists on walking you home, and you oblige on the short walk to the empty apartment.
he drops you off at the complex door with a wave and a few words of reassurance, and you feel much happier entering your humble abode than when you left it.
after kicking off your shoes at the door, you enter your shared room and change. though suna was still on your mind, you want to hold onto the good feeling that kita has given you. there are people that care for you.
your phone begins to beep rapidly at once, startling you enough to drop your earring. you curse as you pat the floor down for the small piece of jewelry, exhaling a breath of relief once you recognize the small golden glint among the yarn on the carpet.
you place it on the counter, rolling your eyes as you pick up your phone.
tsumu :|
5:48 P.M.
Hey!
You've been ignoring all my calls and texts, and the ones from 'Samu, too!
5:50 P.M.
ARAN JUST TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED!
Me and 'Samu are taking you out today. End of discussion.
5:51 P.M.
'Samu says he's not coming if you don't answer, hurry up.
me
5:53 P.M.
i don't like the club.
tsumu :|
5:54 P.M.
Took ya long enough!
Who said anything about the club?
me
5:54 P.M.
then where are you taking me?
tsumu :|
5:54 P.M.
5:56 P.M.
I promise you'll have a good time!
It'll be like a small get-together with us and the old volleyball team!
you think for a second. where did suna usually go if he wasn't out at practice or with his friends?
me
5:57 P.M.
fine.
tsumu :|
5:57 P.M.
You won't regret it, promise!
you sigh, turning off your phone. guess you had to get ready again.

October Favorites 2020!
Hello!
i'm going to start bringing these favorites of the month from my deviantart to here on tumblr. Hopefully you will find something good out of the things that I have been liking recently, please leave in the comments anything that you have been liking this month ( books, manga, anime, tv shows...etc) I have been a little uninspired for a while, but I'm still working on a few new digital art pieces as well as continuing my painting hobby, so there's a lot of content on the way!
okay so on to the things that I've been liking this month.
So if you've seen my latest digital art " who's baby is it?" I have been delving into web toons which I have not read other than mo dao zu shi since I watched the anime and It just suddenly stopped after season 2. I thought reading the web toon would answer some of those questions  i had. It lead me to reading a bunch of webtoons all in the shounen ai category for some reason...lol. and I've been really liking some of the stories, Until this point web toons never really interested me since I've been reading manga since I was younger , so i've been used to just seeing the black and white pages of art, since web toons have coloured pages, it makes me appreciate the effort they used to colour every panel, so a lot of work went into these so i appreciate it for what it is even if the story inst great.
let me preface by saying that even though i'm delving into BL, i've been exposed to yaoi ever since I was in high school by one of my best friends, she lent me her favorite anime which was " gravitation" and all remember was wanting a man that was like yuki...lol. don't we all?
since then I have been reading some yaoi manga...only ones that are NOT predicated on sexual violence and abuse, which I know is prevalent in this category, I just don't like it and the message it sends, so i avoid that all together.
unless of course it has a particular message it wants to convey, not glorifying it. if that makes sense.
okay so here are my recommendations, i'll give a very brief summary of each of them
Manga/Manhwa:
----------------------------------------------
Who's baby is it? 
Tumblr media
- “a man named yi yun wanted to be an actor and is part of an acting company for several years and still was not successful, apparently it was because he was born with really bad luck, so to change his life perspective he decided that he wanted to be a surrogate father and donate his sperm to a surrogate mother in order to have a child that is his blood. So he and his child were living happily together through yi yuns work periods and suddenly there is a man that claims he is the child's actual blood related father and wanted to take the child into his custody.”
please read the summary I have in my fan art, I've wrote my thoughts on this manhwa.
To be or not to be
Tumblr media
-  “A company president diagnosed with cancer and died has been transmigrated into his favorite novel, where he was reborn as the antagonistic emperor that the main character defeats in the end, on top of which the main lead is currently the captive of said emperor, so in order to survive he will do anything to protect the protagonist and make sure he stays alive inside the novels universe.”
oh to be or not to be that is the question...lol. it really is. currently is is one of my favorites, I like how modern day people  can look at the acts of history and modify certain things so that it would less likey repeat itself for the worse, we need this sort of mentality at this moment...
Social temperature
Tumblr media
- “Song Yuan is indifferent when dealing with people he is an elite student at T- university as a science major, one day his friend started to question his sexuality and set him up with a month trial dating app as a joke, as soon as he went to delete the app on his phone, he was suddenly matched with a boy named "Mu", who turns out to be his classmate/ rival in his science program, his named is Xaio Mu , he is an exchange student abroad and got into this elite science program, hoping to meet new friends he approached song yuan and proceed to converse with him only to be ridiculed by him saying that he wears too much perfume and it made him sick so then he became the class social outcast.But after using the app to converse with "Mu"...song yuan became curious as to what he is actually like...using the fake name and bio of " Andrew " they start to get to know each other more.”
omg , this is triggering for me, since Mu is basically me a few years ago when I was also in a medical science program minus the talking on tinder thing lol, I felt as though everyone in that program was in it for themselves and I didn't not like the how people think they are entitled to everything...that's why i'm not in it no more.lol. there are a few plot holes in the story that I don't really get but other than that I really like this story I read the chapters that are out so far like 3 times cause I'm waiting for the rest to be translated. I also actually read the Novel by the same author of the manhua called " social outcast" so if you just want to read it in text format please read that novel instead, I like the novel up to a point and then it didn't really make sense after wards..lol.
so i can't say that i recommended it completely. Also Mu's character design I really like, thus i'm going to make a fan art of him soon...omg he's so beautiful, i'm in love lol.
Salad Days  ( tang liu zang) 
Tumblr media
- “This is the story between a young innocent ballet boy and a passionate, determined boxing boy. The two met at the children’s palace, and since then, they have grown up together supporting each other. May there be hardships, may there be obstacles, yet they never stopped pursuing their dreams. The beauty of the salad days is the sweat from the hard work and the bonding of friendship. Although they have completely different paths set up for them, what never changes is their beautiful friendship.”
wow this story so far is really beautiful, I was in ballet for 3  years so it was slightly relatable to me, I feel like the over all message is that people sacrifice a lot for their dreams and if you are very passionate about it, there's no on that can really stop you, the only one that can stop you is you. I can't wait to see this story progress further  
K-dramas:
------------------------------------------
it okay to not be okay - this probably has been mentioned as everyone's favorite, but rightfully so, I really like ko mun young's character as a person who seems like an assertive and powerful woman, but is suffering from a social disorder. and how moon gang tae has to not only deal with mental patients at his job but also his older brother being autistic, he himself is suffering from mental illness. this drama is  something not a lot of dramas portray in dealing with mental illness and how the patients/ loved ones  are feeling when watching them go through it all. I liked the story and the message  and it made me cry in every episode, so fair warning...have tissues beside you as you watch.
itaewon class- I was not going to watch this because of the mixed reviews but I did any ways, and it was really good, a really good depiction of how money and power isn't the end all be all , and being happy  is really the best revenge you can get, it also addresses racism and prejudice on one character and sexism on a trans-gendered woman. I also think this is a story that protrays something that really hasn't been exposed to in k-dramas specifically. It depends on your morals and what you understand so far in your life wether you would like this drama or not, so i understand the mixed reviews that it gets, but for me it was a really good story.
Anime/ TV shows:
---------------------------------------------
I don't have any anime recommendations this month mainly cause I have not been watching any, but there are some that i might watch soon  so I will list those below, let mew know if any of you have seen them and should I be watching them.
- Nobelese
-yasha hime ( inuyasha  new series)
-Haikyuu  new season
-heavens official blessing ( same author of mo dao zushi) - just started watching
-scum bag saving system- just started watching
Music :
----------------------------------
so I have just been listening to a lot of OSTs,
I really recommend the itaewon class soundtrack, all the songs are so good!
my favorite on is " crush- No words "
also my friend has been sending me NCT  and super M practice  videos so I've been listening to their music as well, please listen to make a wish by NCT U, it has been stuck in my head and I cant get it out...lol.
------------------------------
that's all for this October faves summary. please comment below if anything interested you for the month of October, I would also like to read your recommendations as well, please also take care of yourselves especially now with all that's escalating in the world.
take care!

So I know you've talked about your eye scar but what about those wicked scars on your legs? Mind sharing the story (if that is what they are?)
“Ah, those scars are from back when I was partnered up with Master Fisto for missions. Pretty early on, in fact. It’s quite a tale, and not one I’ve told many others about. At least, not in full…
We had been assigned to a search and rescue mission for a group of troopers and a Padawan who all went missing in a large cave system. They had been chased into the caves by a droid attack force and were cut off from the rest of their group. Upon our arrival, it didn’t take long for Kit and I to find that the Padawan had lost their saber outside the cave’s entrance, meaning they were likely stuck in there with no way to escape without outside help. Now, the particular planet we were on had a tendency for sporadic tremors. This made our job that much more dangerous, and only made those we were looking for more likely to be dead. But in the depths of the caves, we could sense the Padawan’s flickering presence. There was no time to waste. We began our search through the tunnels, staying near to one another as our comlinks lost signal the further down we went. We followed the Padawan’s force signature until we found a trail of multiple footprints… clone armor footprints. Feeling hopeful, we quickened our pace down the path the clones had taken. Then suddenly, we felt a large quake. We stopped in our tracks, waiting for the tremor to pass and bracing for the possibility of the tunnel collapsing. Within moments, the shaking ceased, a few pebbles from the ceiling falling to the floor. Kit then remarked that it was likely that a previous tremor had blocked our lost friends’ escape, and more would surely follow. We picked up pace again, eventually finding a large blocked-off area just as Kit had suspected. We wasted no time carefully removing rocks from the path with the force. After many had been cleared, we could hear voices on the other side.
“Hello? Is someone there?” The familiar voice of a clone called through the rubble, his tone shaken and hoarse.
We assured him that we were there to help, and the thankful cries of many more troopers could be heard beyond the rocks. But as their voices came through, nothing of the Padawan could be heard. Kit and I hurried our pace, and as one more large stone was removed, we had cleared a small opening. One after another, the troopers climbed out, each grasping our arms in gratitude and relief. One last clone remained, but he stayed still, saying he needed help with a body. Kit raised a hand to remove a few more boulders, focusing heavily to keep them all from collapsing. I reached in as the trooper handed me a corpse, not one of his likeness, but a small, frail being. It was the Padawan, who appeared to have been shot in the abdomen.
‘We were too late to help them… ‘ I had thought to myself as I helped the clone exit the crevasse, both of us careful with the Padawan’s body on our way out. Kit placed the rocks he had been suspending back in their place to prevent the others from falling, and came over to where we sat with the body.
“I’m sorry, my friend…” Kit spoke softly. Whether it was to the clone, or to the lost padawan, I was unsure. “If we had been here a little sooner, we could have done something.”
“There’s not much you could have done for them, Sir.” The clone responded. “They’ve been gone for about a day now, they died soon after we got trapped.”
Upon hearing this, Kit and I both looked on to him in confusion. ‘That’s impossible,’ I thought. And by the look on Kit’s face, he was evidently experiencing similar denial.
“But we had followed their force signature to find all of you.” Kit said in disbelief. “They couldn’t have been dead more than a few minutes. An hour, at most…”
The clone trooper responded, “While I don’t doubt how you found us, Sir, I know lack of vital signs when I see them. You can check for yourself, they’re cold as ice.”
I leaned forward to brush the hair out of the lost Padawan’s face, still not quite understanding what phenomena had led us here.
“He speaks the truth, Kit.” I told him solemnly. “Their body is stiff as stone, they’ve been gone for as long as he says.”
Kit struggled to find words to express his confusion, just as I. But I had my theories, at the very least.
“The force is vast and mysterious, there’s neither a Jedi nor a Sith alive who fully understands it.” I began, thinking through all that I myself knew. “We are taught that in death, there is nothing. There is only the force… Perhaps we may be only partially right.”
Kit looked on to me as I spoke, seeming to understand my train of thought.
“It may be that in death, this Padawan’s spirit remained near, believing that they could help us find all of you in their final moments.” I continued, “It is beyond my reasoning as a Jedi, but what we’ve witnessed can not be denied.”
Murmurs about ghosts began among the surrounding clones, who were all listening intently. But the clone sitting before them remained silent, gaze focused on the corpse in his arms.
“I agree with your conclusion, Nat. I believe the council will have to hear of our discovery here today.” Kit said, still somewhat in thought.
I nodded to him, and looked on to the Clone who held the Padawan. “What is your name, dear?” I asked him.
The clone trooper removed his helmet, revealing his purple hair beneath, as well as a peculiar tattoo on his forehead.
“It’s Andy, Sir.” He looked down to the body in his arms. It was difficult to make out in the dim lighting of the caves, but his eyes appeared red-tinted, as if he had been crying for some time. He spoke quietly, pain seeping through his voice, “…They were my friend.”
I placed my hand on his, attempting to comfort him. He gripped tightly, his hand trembling as the tears welled up in his eyes once more. At the time, I had no words to give that could comfort him further. Kit, too, was silent, allowing Andy to grieve.
It was then that our time of stillness was abruptly cut short. Kit and I both sensed it, shooting a quick, startled glance at each other before moving to stand. Another quake was approaching.
“Brace yourselves, all of you!!” Kit shouted. The clones obliging almost immediately, Andy moving to shield the Padawan.
Then it hit- a powerful, roaring quake that spared no time in causing the rocks next to us to collapse. Kit and I acted, raising our arms to hold the boulders in suspension above us. It wasn’t difficult at first, but the quake lasted longer than the previous one. The walls of the chamber we stood in began to crumble.
“The path to our right  is stable enough to travel through,” I shouted through the clamoring of the deteriorating walls. “Go there now, it’ll lead you to open air!”
“Yes, Sir!” The troopers shouted as they began filing down the cavern path. Andy stood to follow, carrying his fallen comrade along with him. But he stopped, turning back to face Kit and I.
“Sir-” He cried out, “How will you follow?!”
“We’ll manage..!” Kit grunted in response, the weight of the crumbling cave clearly beginning to take its toll on both of us.
I knew we wouldn’t be able to hold it for much longer, one of us had to be able to escape with the others. So there, I made a choice.
“Kit,” He looked over to me as I spoke, both of us visibly struggling, the strain apparent in my voice, “This is not where you fall, you must go.”
“No, Nat!” Kit protested. “You can’t make it alone!”
My eyes trailed from him to the fallen Padawan’s face. At that moment, something in me felt safe and reassured. I looked back to Kit, knowing what needed to be done.
“In the force,” I spoke shakily, lowering one of my arms from where it held the impending demise above me, “I am never alone!”
“Nat!!” Kit shouted once more as I force pushed him and Andy into the safe clearing, both of them flying into the other Troopers.
I raised my arm above my head once more, the rubble Kit had been suspending falling all around me, and on top of me. The weight of the cavern became too much to hold, and I was crushed beneath.
I don’t remember much from the caves beyond that point, I’d blacked out pretty quickly. But I do remember the distinct feeling of someone standing over me, shielding my head and chest from being impaled.
Afterward, I had woken up on in a medical station, and I was in a mighty deal of pain. Though I was bandaged, I could feel that the bones in my legs and left arm were shattered, and they had been nearly cut clean off in some parts.
“A few more sessions in a bacta tank will do you well, old timer.” Kit said to me as he entered the room, his usual smile carrying an air of relief with it. “You gave me quite a scare, you know.”
I smiled back to him as he came around to sit at my bedside. “I’m sorry, dear. I tend to be pretty good at doing that, huh?” I held out my only good arm toward him, weakly gripping his hand. “Where are we, Kit?”
“We’re in the Ord Cestus medical station, I rushed you and the others here as soon as we pulled you out of the rubble.” He clasped my hand between both of his. “I’ve been given command of this station until you recover, so there’s no hurry to return to battle. Please rest easy for now.”
I nodded to him, laying my head back and closing my eyes before asking, “How are Andy and the others? Did they all make full recoveries?”
“Yes,” Kit responded, “Their injuries were minor, for the most part. Once we got them all fed and rehydrated, they were sent off to rejoin their General on the field.” Kit paused, his tone lowering. “But, there’s something I must discuss with you about our… discovery.” I looked back to him as he continued. “Something happened when you threw Andy and I into the tunnel, something that baffles me even further than our original situation. As we recovered from the initial impact, the dust clearing,  Andy shouted in dismay that he had ‘lost them.’ The Padawan he had been cradling…” He double checked the entrance to the room we were in, making sure no one was around. “Their body disappeared, it was nowhere to be found.”
I gave him a perplexed expression, not quite comprehending what he was trying to say. “Could Andy have dropped them when I pushed you two back?” I questioned, “Were they not under the rubble?”
Kit shook his head, “No, Andy kept a firm hold on them the whole time. Their body is all that disappeared… Impossibly, their robes remained.”
Now, at this, I was even further lost. Their body had vanished through their clothes? The thought alone was absurd, defying all strings of logic.
But then, I recalled the sensation of someone protecting me as I was crushed under the weight of the cave. No one had been standing there with me after I pushed the others back. Could the padawan’s spirit have saved me?
Then I recalled our original intent, “Kit, did you give the council a report on our mission?”
“Partially, yes.” Kit started, “However, at the time, I was more concerned with your recovery. I failed to bring up any of our interesting findings, I felt it may be better to have you with me for that.”
I gave it a moment of thought, something in me tugging at my gut. “I don’t think we should tell them.”
Kit tilted his head to the side, his eyes slightly narrowing. “How come?”
“It’s just a feeling I have,” I continued. “I don’t think they are meant to know of what we found. At least, not all of them, and not yet.”
Kit appeared to be going over his options in his mind, then he gave a quick sigh, “Alright, Nat. I’ll trust your conclusion on this matter for now. But should any suspicion come up, we must confess our findings, ok?”
“Agreed, though I’m very sure we’ll be fine. The council has greater matters to worry about, and so do we.” I stated.
“Really?” Kit inquired, “What matters have we to worry of at this time?”
“I see it in a vision now,” I closed my eyes once more, “Others will be needing medical supplies very soon, and this station is short on transports. When you receive the call for assistance, we’ll have to contact someone else to bring a frigate.”
I looked back to Kit, “I believe our troops on Geonosis will be able to help when that time comes.”
“I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.” Kit patted the back of my hand, smiling again. “Thanks for the heads up, my friend.”
“Anytime, dear.” I replied, “ah, one more thing-”
“Yes?” Kit asked.
My voice was somewhat whiney, but hints of laughter could also be found, “I hurt like hell.”
Kit chuckled, a regretful yet comforting smile on his face, “It’s definitely going to leave a mark.”
