Wish You Were Here Then

[Kinsey Calhoun]

“I could just send her away.” Kinsey said as she pulled off Jack’s shirt and ran her hands over his chest. “She’s not stupid I’ve noticed her disappearing when you visit.”

[Jack Ryder]

"She's living vicariously through us. Which I don't quite mind, reminds me of my sister when she was younger." Jack kissed Kinsey's neck and ran his hands through her long brown hair. "And she's discreet. Even if I do believe she thinks when we're in the same room together, that we're going to rip each other's clothes off." he looked into her eyes. "Which isn't far off the mark... especially when you start sending those dirty thoughts into my head."

[Kinsey Calhoun]

“Oh it’s more then just thoughts now.” She replied mischievous as phantom fingers worked their way over Jack’s skin.

[Jack Ryder]

Jack grinned as he felt her phantom fingers on his skin, it was something he had grown to enjoy quite a bit. "Then let's put that into action... " he pulled her closer to the bed and kissed her passionately on the lips.

They made love until the earlier morning hours. Kinsey laid awake as Jack slept soundly next to her. Despite how vigorous they had been she was wide awake.

The bed squeaked and creaked as she slipped out of. Jack stirred but didn’t wake as she pulled on a pair of pants and his t-shirt. Careful moving over creaking floorboards she slipped out of their room and walked down to the bar for a drink.

The area behind the bar was empty so she helped herself to a glass and left a few coins on the counter. She took a deep drink from her glass before refilling it. Jack was right there was something else in the brew and it tasted familiar but she couldn’t place it.

“Weird.” She said taking another sip.

[Tali’Zorha]

As Kinsey was pouring herself a drink, the mysterious woman from before padded down the steps, barefoot, covered in a sheet, artfully tied around her body. "Bar doesn't usually open for another couple hours." she said as she took a seat on the stool next to her. "So you going to share or hog the bottle all for yourself?" giving Kinsey a once over she closed her eyes. "I could be much meaner, but I had a good night and I'm feeling... relaxed. So who in the hells are you and what are you doing here?"

[Kinsey Calhoun]

“I’m K’n’zy and I’m thirsty.” Kinsey said pouring brew in a glass for Tali’Zorah. “What about you?”

[Tali’Zorha]

"Not quite what I was asking, but whatever." Tali said and took the glass and looked at her. "I take it your mate is not actually Xenexian... course, mine is and well... he's still passed out. Never could sleep well after... " she took a swig of her drink and gave Kinsey a look. "You have the look of a woman that spent time in a desert but hasn't been to one in some time. That and you move like me. So what are you? I could read your mind."

[Kinsey Calhoun]

“You could try.” Kinsey countered with a smirked. “Where did you come from? One of the servers said the deep desert but Korba found you on the edge of the pit.”

[Tali’Zorha]

Tali gave Kinsey a sideways glance and smiled. "You asked others about me? Let me guess, they think I'm a witch that's going to curse everyone, right? That I'm a crazy woman..." she took a sip of her drink and sighed. "Jealous and small minded people. Although I am intrigued why strangers would be concerned with someone like me? Beyond the fact that I think you and I have something in common. I have seen some... strange things being near the Pit. Or are you like Korba who with one look at me instantly became obsessed?"
