((*cackles* MEI's going to smite me, you know... just because I'm the only one in a hopeless plotline at the moment. Oh well. *evil grin* Lania's been determined to be Obi-Wan's wife, so perhaps I can find a way to get a character in there to torment them...))
She paused. "I've spent my life against emotion, selfless, uncaring to what I wanted. I'm a Jedi Master, dedicated wholly to the lives of others. How can I justify this, if it will destroy you?" She traced her hand across his forehead, allowed her touch to glance across his face. "It's against everything I am."

"And yet it is something we've been drawn into," He said, shutting his eyes slowly. "willingly as well." He added.
"We've chosen this." He muttered to her. "Haven't we?"

"Mh-hmm," she murmured, head rested on his shoulder, and strange emotions threatening to turn into a wave and wash her away to be tossed in a storm she had no idea how to handle. "A shame, really."

"I guess." He agreed. He held her close, savoring this feeling as he did likewise and placed his head on Taania's shoulder.

Taania allowed the moment to linger for a time, but finally sighed. "A shame that the universe doesn't accept things like this to happen," she murmured. "I will most likely be expelled from the Order, as you're not a Jedi. And heaven knows what your Master will have to say about this."

Raze nodded. "I'm sorry." He said. "I know I've probably made your life worse by complicating it." Raze sighed as he gently played with her hair, feeling a knot in his stomach.

"There's weights on both side of the scale, certainly," she agreed quietly. "I could easily shut you out, finish this mission and return to the Order as if nothing had happened, force myself to be the Jedi Master again. And I wouldn't have to fight to do that either. And then... I could allow this-- as I have-- allow what I was to be destroyed, become whatever this being is now. And what if everything I followed before was a lie? What if I returned, only to find that I had let go of something more harmless than otherwise? Nothing is too small to change the entire future, and this conversation could easily completely put us into two different paths." She reached over to take his other hand, rubbing a circle on the back of his palm with her thumb.

Raze nodded, it was a wise statement. "I understand." He said. "But what do we do? We will have to choose eventually and when that time comes there will be no turning back." Raze looked down and smiled slightly at Taania's gesture. He took her other hand in his free one and gave it a small squeeze.

She smiled lightly. "Yet, in a manner, have we not already chosen? You were willing to give everything for me, you still sit here and care. Our options cannot be put off for long-- either we find a way to part, and no longer care about a couple days that changed everything, or... we destroy everything we were." It was the Jedi Master that spoke, Taania finally had control of her words and voice again, speaking clearly as she normally did-- or had, once.

Raze nodded. "I know my choice already." He said. "And I will not leave you. What you do is up to you." He looked at her gently, noting the way she spoke as like before, more controlled.

A flicker crossed her face, then she smiled. "Not all who wander are lost, and not all those lost are alone," Taania said, cryptically. You're a fool, Taania...
I know. But an honest fool I will remain.

"I know." He said, understanding what she meant. He also caught the flicker on her face. He pulled her into an embrace and held her there for a few tender moments.

She sank into his arms for those moments, savoring what she knew she shouldn't have had to have. "I shouldn't allow this," she murmured. "I know I shouldn't. I'm better than this."

Raze leaned forwards and placed his mouth was close to her ear. He whispered a few very special, very beautiful words in and leaned back. He smiled gently as he waited for Taania's reaction.
((Hey, hey... you stop that right now! no quoting Ani))

((Who, me? NEVER! *grins* I'll just assume you told her you loved her, in one way or another...))
Taania grinned slightly impishly, and said, on a whim. "I know." She wrapped her arms loosely around his neck. "You know I love you too," she whispered back gently.

"Of course I do." He told her. He gently kissed Taania on the forehead and when he leaned back we was smiling broadly. He knew that if he was to die that it would be alright with him because he was here like this with Taania.

"Oh, well, then we're all right," she said, slightly amused. "Because I have absolutely no intellegent response for this." She touched him lightly on the forehead, a hint of a smile on her face. "Really."

"Then no response is needed." He tolded her. "Just- just stay with me. Stay in my arms." He kissed her on the top of the head and hoped Taania was as happy as he was.

"I can do that," she allowed, letting herself sink into his arms, and remain there, pieces of her mind tormenting her for how it had happened to push her into that situation, and the rest of her relieved that for once, she could just sit there and feel safe. For just a moment, to let her hair fall over her shoulders to cover the scars, and let herself melt into another's embrace.
Just a moment.
