Yetty sighed. He walked back to his room, too confused to think. So Aaro loves Treemara.. And that's the reason she betrayed her mentor. Nothing if what he said, or did. He gave a small laugh. "What use am I then..?" He muttered just as he went into his room. He stripped off the suit, but was still in his hoodie and jeans. "What use am I indeed?" He stated one more time, before sitting down on his bed, he needed to think.

Sam went to the engineers, along the way thinking, ”Where did people’s manners go?” sad that he didn’t receive a thank you. He wasn’t a slave anymore.
“I fixed it, just so you know,” Sam told the engineers in a maudlin tone.

[Archer]

"Pretty good, I suppose. You?" Teelan said, trying to be as nonchalant as he could.

Once Jack had finished listening to that music, he switched over to an even older artist, Willie Nelson.

[The SheoDovah]

Once the random song had ended, David loaded up another song. An ancient one called Bhomine Rapsody by a band called Queen. He started to mime to it after it reached a certain point and ended up singing to it. He was unaware that Jack was in the same room.

[Justice knight]

Adam and Sam
It seemed the boss man wanted him.
"Oi! You two! You know how to perform a space repair?" He called.

Aaro
A good ten minutes passed as the two O'Sekra spoke.
"S-so you saved me?" Keema asked Aaro.
---
Teelan
"Better than most nights," Kaleem nodded, "We've got a patrol today."

[unokitsune]

"Actually, Keema, one could argue that it was you and your brother who saved me. I didn't want to see either of you two hurt. You have the most amazing brother, Keema. I'm going to let the two of you talk and catch up for now." She did felt happy, geuinly so. But she still felt guilty.

Aaro was more than happy that Treemara got to reunite with his sister, who very nearly died from long term exposure to the cold. She backed away from the two to stand in the door way. What could she say, that Zzruh wasn’t dead that even though she betrayed Zzruh to save Treemara and Keema, she also betrayed them by making sure Zzruh still lived? She felt doubt, and dread, at the same time. She was happy that the two O’Sekra were alived, and words couldn’t describe how good Treemara made her feel. She felt like she was going weak…going soft but was she always this way? Zzruh had affected her in such a way, he had been her identity, her only identity and her new identity for six long years. Her mind, her emotions, they were mixed. She still loved him despite the fact that he’s a monster and would always be. She kissed him while he lie injured in that snow, it felt… scary yet so wonderful. And then Treemara, who openly allows her to love him despite not knowing her for more than a day.

And yet Treemara somehow held some kind of command over her. Is that what she wanted, to be commanded? No…it couldn’t be that. He let her be the Alpha then…and he seemed to like it. Why could an O’Sekra be so nice? Zzruh was right, they burned the Zandri worlds and their cities, they continued this war with their High-Military minded minds. Hundreds died within the first hours not but twenty years ago, one score and all Aaro’s life. Now the number was in the hundreds of thousands, but Aaro couldn’t figure out if that was a collective number of both races, however her and Zzruh had contributed to that number significantly in their own right. What if Zzruh held her like Treemara did, offered it for free? Would she still be with him right now? Well she would anyway had that mine not gone off. Could he still love her like that? She didn’t know why she still thought of the man, the monster, the murderer. But at the same time she saw him as friend, family, and unrequited lover.

Treemara was O’Sekra, the enemy in this war. Yet despite him being the enemy, he cared for her freely. Why did he care for her so? Why did he make her feel this way? She was Zandri, yet he made her feel like she had family for once…something she hadn’t felt in nearly a decade. She killed so many of his kind in the six years she had been apprenticed to Zzruh, that she didn’t know if it was right. He may be a soldier, a grunt for the O’Sekra force and fully capable of killing, but like his sister he was nothing short of Kindhearted. Kind? Could she be that way? But killing…slicing necks, beheading, causing guns to lock up…it was all she knew. Yet she could sing too, thanks to her mother, back when she still loved her, loved Aaro. Would this war end? Could it end? A superior O’Sekra officer, leader of this base, lies dead at Zzruh’s own hands. He killed the [&@%!] to rescue Aaro and took both Tremara and Keema with him, having them frozen to near death and tortured, at least until Aaro awoke.

She awoke to Zzruh, who saved her, and held him for what she believed to be the last time and told him she loves him. But all he could think about was the killing, and he had no qualms about torturing those who got in his way even the innocent. And that’s where her views had differed from his. It was possibly the hardest thing she had to do, to choose between her true morals and the man she thought she loved. She betrayed Zzruh, one of her own race and her mentor, to save the lives of two enmies who were nothing but friendly with her. What was wrong with her? Why did she save two O’Sekra when she had killed hundreds on the field of war, bloodied the very snow that she used to impale them. Snow Singing…it wasn’t supposed to be this way, one misunderstanding lead to this war and lead to the Zandri loosing so much in history and homes that it was so painful. Aaro was a traitor on both sides, and the worst part of it all…was that there was a strong possibility that no side could forgive her if she told the truth. All because of her love for two men, One a fellow Zandri who loves murder and the other an O’Sekra, enemy but the kindest man she’s ever met.

She felt like singing…to clear her head. She held that false smile, and decided it was best to allow brother and sister to catch up. “I’m glad to see you awake Keema, I’ll let you and your brother talk, I think that would be best. Treemara I’m stepping outside but I will not leave the grounds, I’m still feeling a little hot and would like to get some air.” That wasn’t a total lie, she did feel this way, but she was avoiding talking how she truly felt now. She needed to get to know herself again. She would always be a fighter, but Treemara brought something out in her, made her feel…but was that weakness, could she be allowed to feel? To feel something more than Lust…to actually feel, with her heart that was in so many shattered shards right now.

She walked outside, despite protests from some O’Sekra guards. Yet she remained in the courtyard, where she decided to sing. And the song she sang, sounded something like this. The lyrics were somewhat different though, and her pitch was slightly higher and more angelic.

Hidden:

Waiting to see if Justice says Cyrill can see in the zero g room or not.

[Imp]

"A repair in space?" Sam asked, hoping it meant the same thing as on his pre-master's pirate ship.

[Justice knight]

Sam
"Yes, as in repairing in space," The chief said.

Cyril, Jessica and James

Hidden:

Sorry, my bad.

Cyril couldn't actually go in, but there was a window.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"Okay," Aaro heard Treemara say as she left, "Don't wander off."

[unokitsune]

Aaro while she was singing made two snow sculptures one of Treemara the other of Zzruh.

"I used to have...my world figured out.
And now it seems turned upside down.

I used to have a plan
Of where to go ahead.

Walking in your shadow...
Wanting but never seeing you smile

But when you took my hand
I felt as though I could understand

And when I began to fall, you came and picked up
By your side I could stand tall, I thought I had it all..."

It was like she was dancing to a music in her head, and while she was singing the statue of Zzruh returned to snow.

"But here I am again...
In the same mental state...

Yet I'm finding...all my views distorting
And someone else who cares

In his arms he holds me
I feel calm it's so exuberanting

I find myself short of breath
Whenever I'm in his arms

Yet I feel so lost being free
Would he tell me, if this is me?

My heart is shattered, torn asunder
And here I feel like a big blunder

He's so nice, just so kind...
Will he ask me 'Will you be mine?"

[p-sto]

Cyril noticed the couple going at each other in what was supposed to be a public space. He pushed down his feeling of embarrassment and knocked on the window to let them know that they weren't alone.

[Imp]

"I've done that before," Sam stated.

[Justice knight]

Adam and Sam.
"Can you show him how you do it?" The chief asked.

Aaro
A few O'Sekra were stealing quick glances at her.

[Musicman247]

James pushed further from Jessica as he heard the knock. "[&@%!]!" escaped his mouth as he hit the red button with his foot, turning off the zero gravity. He fell the few feet to the ground, landing on his feet.

[Imp]

Spoiler:

Eh... I'm not sure I can...

[Justice knight]

Hidden:

It won't matter much.

[Imp]

"Absolutely," Sam said, eager to help out anyone in anything.

[Crepe the Ashlander]

Spoiler:

What would be a suitable thing for my character to do now? Are we still on the ship? Or is he part of a plot anywhere

[Justice knight]

Sam and Adam
"Good," The Engineer said, "Should be simple but we're low on manpower- right I just need you two to check out one of the long range scanning devices, it's broadcasting an anomaly."

Anything really, he's still on board the ship.

[unokitsune]

Aaro had been dancing with the snow when she wasn't singing. She had to continually make Treemara's in different poses for the dance steps. When she ran out of room the statues would turn back to snow so she could start again. Her finishing move was to twirl, her hands inside the snow statue's arms, of Treemara, like a gentleman allowing the woman he dances with to twirl and finish. She then moved the hands to wrap around her and she smiled, oblivious to the O'Sekra glancing her way. That's when she opened her eyes and wondered out loud. "Do O'Sekra men even dance?" She asked blinking.

[Imp]

"Show me the way, please," Sam said.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
There was an awkward cough from the O'Sekra.
They then broke into a magnificent routine of twirls and spins.

Sam
"It's on the upper hull," The Chief said, "Airlock is next to the bridge, I can't show you- we're too busy here."

[p-sto]

Cyril chuckled softly to himself when he saw the couple fall to ground. He opened the door and said. "I'm sorry to spoil your fun but there really are better places for such activities."

[Imp]

"Understood," Sam said, slightly dissapointed in himself for not following directions clear enough. He made his way to the area.
