there were nightblooms in the east

Arha found herself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling for  far too long with the rush of her Mothers-Within all but quiet in the dead of night.  As much as she commanded herself to sleep, it would not come, and she rose, slipping from her bed and pulling on the pale blue nightgown and robe she had purchased not five hours prior.  Half way down the ( Read more... )

Suddenly, a Neotank scuttled close by, the four legs easily maneuvering around in the sand, only slowly down when it noticed someone else was in the same area as itself. A small figure peaked from the top.

Lash gave the woman a wave, not knowing her name, but the memory of her hair and otherworldly eyes hard to miss. She didn't see many people out at this hour besides herself.

"Can't sleep?"

"It is a long night," Arha admitted, frowning at the tank for a long moment. "You are Lash and in Rogue Squadron, no?"

Oooh she knew her name! It kind almost made her feel a little bit guilty for not knowing hers. Almost.

"Yeap, that's me!" she beamed proudly, giving the tank a small knock. "What's your name?"

"Arha Masaari, Rogue Three," Arha murmured and then flashed a smile. She did take pride in being a pilot, as it was one of her favorite things now that she had been trained in the basics. Improvement would come in time, but she was always training, save for this week.

It made her feel more odd to not be training.

"Oh that's right you're a pilot too!" Lash grinned back, finally jumping out of the tank and into the sand, before trying to shake off the excess from her sandals. "I'm so excited to be part of the Rogue Squadron, it's going to be nice to shoot things in planes!"

Lash, your love of violence was showing again.

"This is true, I am a pilot." Her expression shifted to very amused. "We will have much combat flight in the simulators before we hit anything outside of them, I think. But yet, eventually, we shall 'shoot things in planes'. I am pleased you find the unit acceptable. I am, too, excited about being a pilot."

"I never really got to fly back at home much," she explained. "I was a Commanding Officer and most of my time was spent ordering armies around and building weapons of mass destruction." She scratched the back of her neck before continuing. Tact wasn't her forte.

"I've been wondering, are those blue eyes something all the people on your planet get? Whatever planet that might be."

"They are the mark of a Fremen," Arha said quietly, "and indicative of total Spice Melange addiction. If you spend enough time on Arrakis without proper filters, you inhale the drug known as Spice, which is a powerful narcotic that is mind expanding. I was fed Spice as a child so that I would have the Fremen blue eyes that are so necessary to blend in among the natives. In a word, no. Not all on my planet have such eyes as mine. Only the Fremen."
