Summary
So Kerry lays his hand on his thigh while V is driving, and it's less asking for permission than politely warning the merc about what is going to happen. V dares a glance towards him, meeting only a devious smirk and a nod towards the road ahead.
“Of course,” mutters Johnny from the backseat, disappearing before V has the time to wonder if that's what he had meant when he said Kerry was a menace behind the wheel. -

Summary
V rubs his face, sits a bit straighter on the bed, forces himself to cut his shame-panic-anger to the core, make it shut up -make it all easy again, make it so maybe they can forget the moment their evening went to shit and just pretend everything is ok again.

Summary
Crickets start to chip as the sunset approaches, and Venus yawns, licks the salt from her lips, sees Johnny's eyes follow the movement.

Summary
The sand is burning hot, but Kiraia is used to it.
She's used to the winds full of dust, to the pale walls of coarse stone, to the round courtyards, half buried with sand, to the sun that burned her cheeks forever, to the Sand People's bellows, to the ratwomb's infected bites.
She knows how to gather water from shadow, how to dress in with only rags, how to make shoes from Bantha's skin, how to steal from the Jawas.
She knows how to survive the desert while owing nothing more than scars, white skin, bad luck, and a warm hand to hold at night.Kiraia now travels with a speeder, a lightsaber, the support of the Republic army and of the Jedi Council.
But her hand hides a chill that not even the burning sand slipping out her fingers manages to drive away.
And Kiraia asks herself if dying between the dunes wouldn't have been better.
