He watched the two of them wrestling each other in the training room, laughing heartily to themselves and they tangled their limbs together. A small smile came to his lips as one pinned the other, both sets of eyes sparkling.
He hadn't thought that allowing Torian back onto the ship would have such wonderful side effects. When he had first seen the Mando'ad, he had originally thought that it would be a great couple of days, a few romps in the bed, and a few good hunts and bounties. But now...
It had been months. And the Mandalorian was still here. Still in the same room. Still calling him alor'ad. There were countless times he could have bailed, could have left them, especially with the trouble they had gotten into, but he had firmly told them he was staying. He had never revealed why, even when prodded, but he needn't ask. He knew.
He knew love when he saw it.
And Torian Cadera had fallen madly and deeply in love with Reilik Helikias. And to seal the coffin even more, Reilik had completely let himself fall in love with the Mando'ad as well. The two usually were never seen from each other's sides, especially since their run in on Coruscant.
No. He wouldn't think of that. That just brought back sour memories that tainted the happiness that they were all feeling within the peaceful lull of space.
He had to give the dar'jetti credit though. If it hadn't been for Reilik, they would have been executed. He never thought he would have to see the man that had become almost like a brother to him fight his own kind. To mercilessly kill the Jedi that stood in their way and not allowed them to escape.
Reilik had killed quite a few of the people he had once called friends, and had even injured one of his own clan. That still didn't sit right with the man, and it didn't sit right with him either. If he had been strong enough, kept up with his slicing abilities, then he could have gotten them out of there without Reilik having to do much of anything.
When they had gotten back onto the ship, Reilik had flitted back to his room, not allowing anyone in or exiting it himself. The dar'jetii had stayed in there for four days before Torian had convinced him to allow the Mando'ad entrance. And then it had been another day before he had actually exited the room. Ever so slowly Torian had gotten Reilik to forget about that tragice day, and he wanted it that way.
As Torian leaned down towards Reilik's face, their lips centimeters apart, he stood, dusted off his pants, and chuckled, shaking his head before heading towards the door, not saying a word or wishing to interrupt the two.
Besides, he had an agent that he needed to speak with about some urgent news. And their meetings always seemed to drag on one way or another... But always in a good way... Usually under the covers.
I'm such a tease.
Oh yes. He was a tease.

Just a little snippit of thought from Ulic Balios, one of my other characters from Helikias Legacy Revealed. He's the real heart behind the group of misfits that have joined together. If it wasn't for him, they wouldn't survive everything in a sense. His caring nature is sometimes hidden by his crass attitude of his overbearing medic duties, but he loves his entire "crew."
