Leverage Cassian AU: Summer Trip - Yukon

[last_kallig]

Before school starts, they decide that a trip somewhere nice and remote can serve multiple purposes. Swimming lessons, survival training, and a place where Ibani can REALLY show Cassian what she can do without fear of witnesses!

The Yukon seemed like a good fit, so that's where they've landed.

"I wish you could too, but you've met people who I consider my family," Since they're the ones that he has left.

[last_kallig]

She reaches out to put a hand on his arm. "I'm glad that I've met them. I wish you could have met Ma'Vena, I think you would have gotten on with her."

Ibani puts the bigger pieces of garlic into the spinach.

[childofrebellion]

"I do too. I would want meet anyone who cares for you," He lowers the heat and starts getting the garlic that perfect golden brown color.

[last_kallig]

"I'd like to meet anyone who cares for you too! Maybe I'll meet all your friends, one of these days." Although an encounter with Elliot might prompt some questions, given that Ibani didn't learn her fighting styles or the way she moves anywhere on Earth.

[childofrebellion]

"You will, but I don't want to overwhelm you," And there's time.

[last_kallig]

"I'm getting better, with people," she says. "I'm not sure why most people are so LOUD in the Force with their emotions."

[childofrebellion]

"Probably because they're not aware that's a space that you can be loud in."

[last_kallig]

"Maybe, but you were a lot quieter than that, even when I first met you," she points out. "You're not as quiet as a trained Force sensitive, but you're a lot quieter than most people."

[childofrebellion]

Cassian shrugs, "I guess its something I learned to do for my work."

[last_kallig]

"Could be, or you're naturally quieter, or both."

It's time to add the tiny pieces of garlic in to cook, so she does.

"There are things I don't know how to explain sometimes," she says. "I could let you see what the Force feels like to ME, but I doubt you want me in your head."

[childofrebellion]

"That was an uncomfortable experience but that's okay. I'll understand what I can," The garlic doesn't take long to cook and he gets the spinach off the stove.

[last_kallig]

"It can be uncomfortable even for a Force sensitive, depending on the other person's mind." She frowns at the memory of what some of her instructors' minds were like.

"I think the enchiladas are almost done!"

[childofrebellion]

"I think so too. Will you set the table?" There aren't a lot of plates in the cabin but enough to work.

[last_kallig]

"Sure!"

Ibani sets the table, humming idly. The line of her warblade is visible in its sheathe down her spine, as she hasn't bothered much with 'concealment' for this trip.

[childofrebellion]

Cassian's grown used to seeing the line of her weapon and understands her need to wear it, he always has a knife on him. He takes the enchiladas out of the oven and sets the spinach down too, "There, all set."

[last_kallig]

"Nice!"

Ibani flexes her shoulders, feeling the blade shift. "Could probably switch my blade to a more convenient position, while we're out here, not like I'm trying to HIDE it, right now."

"Will work well enough for demonstrating most of the lightsaber forms."

[childofrebellion]

"You can do whatever makes you comfortable here."

[last_kallig]

She smiles at that. "It's nice, not having to hold back so much." Ibani pulls her chair out from its pushed in position without touching it.

"Is there somewhere open nearby, where, er, damage is not as much of a concern? Some of what I can do is more than a little destructive."

[childofrebellion]

"We'll look over the maps to see if we can find a good clearing. There's a whole collection here," He smiles, he's getting slighlty more used to the fact that she can do that.

[last_kallig]

"That sounds good! But swimming and fishing first?"

Just wait until she throws a boulder that weighs as much as his truck...

Dinner is good, as it always is in Ibani's opinion.

[childofrebellion]

"Plenty of time for both," After dinner, he starts laying out all the maps so she can get a better idea of what's around them.

[last_kallig]

"This one looks good, pretty open. Looks like some big boulders too, useful." Her grin is mischievous. "Could swim after I do my demonstration? I'll be hot, most likely, been a while since I've done much of it."

[childofrebellion]

"Of course, can cool down in the shallow water and you can get comfortable before doing more."

[last_kallig]

"Makes sense," Ibani replies. "Up here I can show you a few things that are hard on ceilings!"

The dishes don't take too very long, which is nice. It might be a quiet evening, unless Cassian has something else planned.

[childofrebellion]

He doesn't have plans other than doing some reading before an early night so they can make the most of tomorrow and their time here.
