The empty corridors echoes, the fast, heavy, wet footsteps and the wet robe makes a coarse hissing sound as it sweeps across the smooth floor.
He had only just heard, they had only just landed when a friend had told him.
He was leaving a muddy trail behind him as he semi ran corridor, he apologises as he runs past a cleaning droid, turns a corner and reaches Tianaras room. He stops, or at least that is what he was trying, but his wet boots slits a couple of inches before he grabs a hold of the door frame. Trying to rearranges his tunic he knocks on her door.

"Who's there?" Tianara's voice sounds somewhat muffled, then footsteps are heard through the door, as she walks across the room.
"Never mind, I'm coming..." There's a slight clicking sound, then the door slides open. She's dressed in her undertunic and pants, and is drying her hair with a towel - which might explain the muffled sound of her voice. As she sees Track, she smiles faintly.
"Track, I didn't know you were back?"

Track stands tall as the door opens and can't help but smiling.
"Well I only just got here..." He first notices now that his boots are soaked and muddy and his tunic is still dripping. "As you can see" His smile faint as bit as he looks down.
"I Just heard, and - I wanted to check up on you and see if you were alright..."

Tianara nods with a little smile.
"I've only been here a few hours myself..." She reaches up to her still slightly wet hair, tousling it up a bit.
"At least I had time for a shower" She grins and looks down at his rather scruffy looking appearance, then steps aside, allowing him to enter her room.

"I've had a shower... I've been having a shower for almost two weeks now" He looks down upon him self and sighs. "Erhm..." then out of the blue he begins to haul off first one boot then the other and then emptying the water from them, after that it's his socks turn. "Like that" He smiles and enters.

Tianara blinks astonished several times, unable to find anything to say.
"Yeah...like that..." She looks down at his wet socks, and shakes her head slightly.
"You might consider one of those where you actually apply soap to your body. Might do wonders" She smiles slightly, then closes the door behind him.

Track smiles and is about to sit on her bed, when she asks about a shower. "Well can I? - I mean use yours?" He takes a few steps towards her bathroom.

"sure - actually, I'd prefer it to having your muddy behind on my bed" She folds her arms across her chest and looks at him.
"There should be fresh towels in the closet in there" She folds the towel she's holding once, and hangs over the back of one of the chairs in the room, then sits down on the bed.

Track smiles as he walks past her and takes of his robe, there's a muffled splat sounds as it lands on the bathroom floor.
He turns the water on and starts to undress, finally in the water he asks. "So... are you alright?"

Tianara lies down flat on her back on the bed, and places her hands behind her head, looking up at the ceiling.
"All right, I guess. Well, to be honest, I don't think everything that's happen has sunk in yet. I mean, I only just got back a few hours ago, and while on Jandoon, there weren't really time to stop and ponder what was going on. Haven't even visited Kian yet"

Track, scrubbing his mane in the shower, ponders for a few seconds.
"Yeah of course, if you haven't have got the chance to get it all a little distant, everything would seem to bee fine, dull but fine"
What a stupid question, you could have come up with that answer yourself, Nerf herder!

Tianara nods, then realizes he can't see it.
"Yeah, dull is a good word I guess - tired too" She smiles a little while looking down at her toes, wiggling them a little, enjoying the fact that they're out of the boots for the first time in weeks.

After a few moments of silence, Tracks voice sounds again from the shower.
"So... How was it.. out there in the field?" Tracks head pops out of the shower curtain, to look at her.

Tianara doesn't seem to notice that he's looking at her. Her toes has become uninteresting again, and she's turned her eyes to the ceiling once more.
"It was..." She hesitates and the ever so familiar wrinkle is visible just above her nose.
"I'm not quite sure... it was... everything happened so quickly, there were hardly any time to consider our next step, everything we did was instinctually" She bits her lower lip.
"Those Jedis Track... they're not just Fallen anymore - they're completely mental..."

Track head disappears behind the shower curtain again. He shuts off the water and the his arm returns in a quest for a towel, he finds the closet opens it and retrieves a towel.
"What?!" he pushes the curtain away and steps out of the shower with the towel around his waist.
"I mean I know that some go, nuts, for a while after leaving, but what do you mean mental...?"

Tianara shrugs.
"Well, I guess mental is a bit harsh, but... They've definitely passed the point of no return. We tried talking to them, and then... I'm not even sure what went wrong, but, suddenly, we were in the middle of a fight. No warning, nothing"

"Well it does sound like their mental..."
Track looks down at his towel and then on his wet pants. "Can I borrow a pair while mine drys?" He gathers his stuff and tries to hang some on the shower curtain bar and some on the sink to dry.

Tianara supports herself on her elbows, and raises an eyebrow at Track.
"You want to borrow my pants? Not to be rude, or anything, but I think I'm slightly more...skinny than you are..." She smiles, a bit shyly. After all, he's only wearing a towel at the moment.
"And besides, I think those pants of yours need more than drying, before they're wearable again. Washing, for example"
She gets up from the bed, and looks inside her closet.
"I doubt anything in here will fit you, but feel free to take a look" She steps aside, allowing him to look into the closet.

"Well Thank you" He walks to the closet ad dives in.
"Do you have any better ideas than me borrowing you pants, beside the one, with me walking around the temple in just a towel?" He just grab the larges pair of pants, which is quite small for him.
"Don't worry I'll change to something clean when I get back to my room" he worms himself into the way to small pant, and removes the towel. 30 cm of leg is visible below the bottom of the pants.

Tianara covers her mouth with her hand, trying to hide the amused smile on her lips.
"They... suit you?" Her eyes wander down his legs, and she nods.
"I especially like the hairy, white part down there, you know. Quite...stylish"

The wet end of the towel flick towards her thigh. "White hairy part, I shall give you white and hairy, so what if your pants have boot cut?" Track throws the towel at her.

Tianara only just manages to jump out of the way, when the towel comes flicking at her. She giggles - and forgets to duck when the towel suddenly comes flying through the air. She pulls the wet towel away from her face with a snort.
"Boot cut? No my friend, I'm just 30 cm shorter than you are!" She grins at him.

He grins. "By the force, they're tight!"
"Is it just 30?" Track laughs and sits beside her, as he does that, the zipper unzips. "Holy! I'll pay if I tear the stitches apart!"

Tianara has only just sat down beside him, as the zipper clearly demonstrates -how- small the pants really are. She falls down flat on her back on the bed, while laughing out loud.
"Don't worry about it - seeing you like this is worth a new pair of pants..."

"Well I'm glad you're having a laugh" He says with a stern look, but the laughter is still sparkling in his eyes. He slpas her hard on her thigh.

She rolls away from him, but is unable to contain the laughter. She moves her hand down to her thigh where he slapped her, and rubs it slightly - but is still laughing. In fact, tears are beginning to trail down her cheeks. She rolls to her side, so that she's facing him, and curls up into a ball. Finally, she's able to stop herself from laughing, and is now trying to catch her breath again.

Track moves an inch or so away from her while she is laughing, and then carefully puts a hand on her knee when she stops again.
"Are you alright?" he asks in a low voice.

She nods slowly, still trying to collect herself. She rolls closer to him, snuggling closer, clearly enjoying the feeling of being safe again. Her eyes are closed. She's still so young, not a child anymore, but not fully grown either.
"Actually, I've been better"

"I can imagne..."
He carefully places his hand on her shoulder an sqeezes a bit.
"Hey... watta you say about, going to see Kian, when the tunic's dried a bit?"

Tianara opens her eyes and smiles a little.
"I think that sounds like a good idea" She keeps still for a few more seconds, enjoying the feeling of his hand on her shoulder, then sits up with a smile.
"Though, maybe you should consider changing clothes altogether, seeing as it's not only wet now, but also muddy"
