RP with Aeryn Sun.

[stuck_mynock]

Atton staggered upstairs, singing something which sounded suspiciously like a drinking song, one arm around Aeryn's shoulders to keep himself standing, the other clutching a bottle of Tarisian Ale. He shouldered open the door to his room, kicking it closed and giggling, slightly insanely.
"This is my room. I apologise for the mess."

"You would" She prodded him in the chest.

"You have the ego of a Nebari."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"You do realise I have no idea what any of this stuff is?" Atton laughed. "You might as well be talking Tusken."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Well I have no idea what you are saying most of the time either."

She glared at him for no particular reason.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"That's probably for the best."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Why?" She suddenly became suspicious. "It's not dirty is it?" She furrowed her brows.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"No, just complete and utter rubbish."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Not to me it isn't." She say quietly. Before looking vaguely surprised at herself.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton drew his head back slightly, giving her a slightly shocked look and remaining completely silent.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"I didn't mean that." She glared.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Didn't mean what?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"What I just said. I take it back." She had noticed the shocked look on his face.

She was mean, she reminded herself. A nasty Peacekeeper.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Remember the discussion about being devoured we were having earlier?" Atton asked quietly. "I'm not going to devour you, so if you could drop the hard soldier act for ten minutes or so and tell me what you meant, I'd appreciate it."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

Aeryn is slightly taken aback by his bluntness, everything is fun and games with Atton.

She stood up, already on guard. It was hard to ruin a lifetimes training.

"What makes you think it's an act." She located her pulse pistol on the floor and strapped it in.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Nobody is like that. Not even the Sith. And besides, you said yourself, somebody close to you died. Completely hard soldiers don't get close to anybody." Atton raised his eyebrows, standing up as well, the room looking slightly darker and him unnaturally tall as he does so. If Aeryn's very observant, she might feel a flicker of something, nearly stifled.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

Aeryn is usually very observant, but her temper, blinds her recently.

"Well I lied." She laughed.

"You didn't think I was serious surely?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

That irritates Atton, and he can almost feel the walls around his mind flickering because of that irritance. A couple of pieces of furniture begin to shake, then stop as Atton quickly closes the walls again, cursing inwardly.

"Yes, I did, and I still do."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

Aeryn looked questioningly at the furniture, but put it down to her imagination.

"Well you're wrong."

She almost spat this last bit at him. She didn't want anyone getting close to that part of her life. She wouldn't have even admitted it if she'd been sober.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Does it matter? The point is you're not the you're not the hard, invulnerable person you seem to want to make yourself out to be and I wish that just for a moment you'd drop the act." Atton growled.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Well perhaps you should just keep wishing." She was yelling now.

She couldn't help it. She simply couldn't let him believe she was a good or vulnerable person. Every time she met Atton she ended up fighting with him.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Well perhaps you should ... should ..." He raised his arms and made a noise of frustration. After a few moments, simply because he could think of nothing else to do, he gritted his teeth for a moment and pressed his lips against hers. Not the most effective way to win an argument, it has to be said.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

Aeryn was not in the mood for this, not now. All the reactions he had been dreading earlier took place. First she pushed him off and then twsited his arm behind his back.

"Don't frelling touch me." She hissed. She hadn't noticed, but she was shaking and slightly out of control.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Right, perhaps the wrong way to end an argument," Atton almost yelled. "Now let me go."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"No" She said stubbornly, keeping a tight hold on his arm.

"Not until you've calmed down." She certainly didn't need to calm down.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I'm perfectly calm, thankyouverymuch," Atton snarled. For a moment he considered just lashing out with the Force, before realising he'd have no idea what would happen if he did that, and would undoubtedly end up hurting either Aeryn, himself or both of them. "You're the one who's angry. Is the idea that you may just be vulnerable really that awful?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Shut up!" She yelled, twisting his arm further. She didn't want to listen, didn't want to listen to him. Her grip had loosened slightly, despite the harder pressure.
