AU: Alderaan

Ibani has not only made plans, she's made PLANS, plans for supplies, transport, the ideal location, ideal weather conditions, and several other factors besides.

Excessive for a picnic? Probably. It could even be excessive planning for a picnic that, energy and mood of all participants permitting, might include seduction. Ibani does not care.

Besides, she might as well USE that enormous patch of wilderness that came with the title of Lady Kallig and that nobody's allowed to build structures on for SOMETHING, right?

She's slipped into Milliways in the hopes of finding Ben.

Ben eventually shifts in the water, lets go of the use of the Force that he's been keeping up to maintain the floating, and starts gently treading water. He puts a finger on Ibani's lips and smiles, letting his eyes shift to the shore.

Ben tries to remember what Bail had told him about Alderaanian wildlife, and fails at the first hurdle. That's definitely a young predator, though, and Ibani's concern is probably right.

"We should probably go save the rest of our picnic," he observes, but shows no inclination to start yet.

Ben sends out a gentle call through the Force, just a hint that the predator in question probably wants to head this way. Then he lets go of Ibani and dives under the water, only to surface much closer to the shore, where he can stand up to his chest in the water.

"I don't think I blame them," Ben says. He wraps an arm around her shoulders as they watch the tiger pad off into the trees.

"I think we're probably safe from further interruptions," he says now. "She'll give us a wide berth."

Ben stretches in the sunlight, though it's entirely possible that his skin shouldn't take much more exposure to UV radiation than it already has, and when he returns to the blanket he'll pick a place that isn't in the direct light.

"I could go for some wine," he agrees.

There are a few more possibilities, but they're just variations on a theme already explored.
