[lightthedarkness]

[She reached up and pushed some of Rei's hair from her face, she smiled, hugging herself closer to Rei.]

I'm really happy it was you too, Rei-chan. I know no matter what this place throws at us, we can handle it together. I'm really happy that I got to have my experience like that with a woman I so deeply admire.

[incandescentfaith]

Mmhmm. I'm glad for that, too.

[She had intended to remain chaste, of course, but this wasn't to be, apparently.]

I guess...we should probably start accepting that during moon phases this will happen again. So, we can at least prepare better, next time.

[lightthedarkness]

[Usagi knew that they were going to eventually have to talk about what they were and weren't comfortable with, but right now she was just exhausted and the heat inside of her was finally nothing more than a simmer.]

Yeah... [She looked up and smiled.] But I don't mind that so much, Rei-chan. [She scooted up and pressed a kiss to Rei's nose.] We'll... discover all of this together.

[incandescentfaith]

[Rei wrinkled her nose up, but smiled all the same. Affection was going to take a lot of getting used to...]

It will work out. And we'll figure it out. It'll be good for us, probably.

[lightthedarkness]

[She nodded and then snuggled closer to Rei.]

We will figure it out... but later. You wore me out. [She mumbled and was just about to go back to sleep.]

[incandescentfaith]

Mmm. Yeah. Same...

{Rei has no objections to this plan, and begins to drift off as well.]

July Sanguis Cycle

[erranthero]

[It's difficult coping with the cycle, even with friends willing to help. It runs so counter to the Jedi way of life, and her own way of carrying herself, Code aside. She hates it, because the heat and aggression and possessiveness are just so hard to manage, and ultimately it's why she winds up prowling the streets in the early evening. Not doing much, just walking, hunched over, moving from place to place to keep from sitting, or keep herself from staring at someone.

Of course, there's nothing good enough to stop that. She pauses, eyes catching those of a pretty blonde girl...maybe a couple of years her junior, locked on hard. A part of her screams to go talk to her, but the rest of her freezes in place. Staring at someone you don't know on the street directly in the eyes is bad, and it's worse when your cheeks are starting to turn blood-red...

And it's even worse when you just start laughing.

Sorry, blondie.]

[lightthedarkness]

[Usagi had seen the other woman and blushed, she was really pretty and had been caught staring. Then the other started to blush too... and then...

Okay, actually the laughing was... new... and a tad bit disconcerting. Was she alright? Usagi went over to her.]

Hey um.. are you okay, miss?

[erranthero]

[Kerra continued to laugh a little, trying to turn her head and not meet those blue eyes, mostly ashamed of getting caught...]

Oh I'm alright. Just kriffing peachy.

[Running a hand through her messy mop of short brown hair, she huffed.]

Sorry, though. Didn't mean to stare. Kriffing moon cycle.

[lightthedarkness]

Um... no... offense but you don't sound peachy... [She offered gently as she offered a gentle smile.]

Do you wanna talk about it? I have to deal with a pretty bad moon cycle too, so I get it. Lots of people seem happy about their moon cycles but I'm... not.

[erranthero]

That's a bit of a tall order, blondie. But if you want to listen and have the time, it's probably better than bottling it up.

[She gets it. A lot of people struggle with this problem. May as well be open about it.]

[lightthedarkness]

[She held out her hand to Kerra.]

I don't mind. Do you wanna talk it over something to drink? We can go to a cafe if you want? And my name's Usagi, what's your name?

[erranthero]

Cafe's fine. Good one just around the bend, I think.

[Kerra takes it, folding a calloused hand with scarred knuckles around Usagi's.]

I'm Kerra. 's good to meet you.

[lightthedarkness]

[Usagi sees how rough her hands are but doesn't think much of it, every woman could be any sort she wanted. She did wonder why they were rough but that was a question for later.]

Lead the way, Kerra-san. [She smiled.]

[erranthero]

[San. Okay. Japanese, like Mikan...

Kerra leads the way quietly to a little outdoor cafe, settling down in a chair and ordering a cup of iced something. Nothing specific. And Usagi's drink is taken care of too.]

...So. I guess, before I start launching into anything, how long have you been here?

[lightthedarkness]

[Usagi tapped her chin in thought.]

I guess... maybe three months, more or less? At least since the festival with the parade, in any case.

[erranthero]

Long enough to've had some bad moons, then. I'm sorry, you seem like a really sweet person.

[Kerra makes a face, staring down at her hands.]

Just, so you know, I was staring because my moon's going on right now, and it's pretty bad this go. Not like the first one, I basically blacked out and don't remember that one at all.

...Forgive me for that.

[lightthedarkness]

Ah yeah. I've had way worse but it was never a monthly problem. [She blushed when Kerra explained why she was blushing and glanced away.]

There's nothing to forgive. [She smiled as she looked back to Kerra.] I'm flattered, and I don't blame you. Staring never hurt anyone, right? [It's when it's acted on that becomes difficult.]

[erranthero]

No, but I should be better. Jedi aren't supposed to act like that, or this.

[Nervous, jumpy, afraid to offend.]

Girls are a bit of a weakness of mine. And boys. But I've not really had a ton of opportunities to act on it until I woke up here. This planet's so weird, and it's really gotten under my skin.

[lightthedarkness]

Jedi? What's a Jedi? I mean, besides you being one, obviously.

[Affraid to offend, yes, but that's because she wants to try and befriend everyone.]

Well, that's okay to like both! Is that why you're upset, you don't think you're any good at it?

[erranthero]

Warrior monks trained to use The Force. A...kind of energy that gives us supernatural powers. We're sometimes called Jedi Knights. From what I know of Earth, we're a lot like your idea of them...assuming I haven't misjudged you as an Earthling.

[Kerra sighs and leans forward a little.]

I'm bad at controlling myself, and I should be better. But I'm also afraid that if I don't let myself go here, when I return home, I'll never have the opportunity again. Jedi are supposed to be above emotion, attachment, anger, fear, lust, all that. Because we're out there to protect people. So, we have to be that example.

[lightthedarkness]

AH no no, not misjudged.

[Not the whole story, but not misjudged.]

Um, if you don't mind my asking, you're human, right? Even if you're a Jedi? Humans are emotional beings, you're basically trying to be more than yourself. And that's okay, but being just human is okay too, isn't it?

Does being a Jedi mean you should hurt yourself, though?

[erranthero]

Completely human. Though, not from Earth. My dimension, world, reality, whatever you want to call it has developed interstellar travel. I've been to dozens of planets.

And, no, not entirely. Being a Jedi doesn't mean hurting myself, it means being better. For other people's sake.

[And here's the rub.]

...See, where I'm from, things are really bad. A group of evil people who can also use the Force, called Sith, have pushed the galaxy onto the brink of collapse. There's no time for me to have any sort of distraction.

[lightthedarkness]

Oh... I'm sorry, I guess even if different dimensions or galaxies or... yeah, whatever you wanna call it, that kind of thing never ends either. There will always be darkness where there is light. I think it's amazing that you fight them, Kerra-san.

But why does... why does stopping yourself from feeling what you want to feel make you a better person? It just... kinda sounds like the more you're denying yourself the more you keep focusing on it.

[erranthero]

Because that's how the Force works, Usagi. The Force isn't good or evil, it's just the Force. Giving in to emotion, letting your self control slip too much can lead down some dark paths. If I let myself slip too much, then the Dark Side of the Force can start to hold sway, and I'd become more like the Sith.

[She shrugs her shoulders, and just spits it out. No reason to hide it, and it feels good to let some of it out, even with a relative stranger.]

I've already spent two years waging a one woman war against the Sith. I've nearly tipped over the edge a couple of times, done drastic things to stop them. So, I have to step into anything slow, just to make sure I don't become a problem for everyone around me.
