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.

"They won't hurt us," Ibani replies, certain. "If absolutely necessary, I could take control of their minds, though I don't like to do that."

"I don't want you to have to do that," He takes out their lunch and also some maps so they can figure out where to go next.

"I shouldn't need to. They feel like even at their most aggressive I could calm them, not like Tu'Kata."

Ibani helps Cassian plan their route and clean up after lunch.

[childofrebellion]

"That's good. Are all the animals more aggressive on Korriban?" It seems like they must be even the ones that aren't trained.

"The ones I ran into were," Ibani replies. "But the Sith and the Valley itself have altered the inhabitants over thousands of years. I'm not sure anything that lives there is strictly natural any longer."

"The Valley, it would get into your head, drive you mad. The Empire didn't dare station soldiers there for more than a few months at a time. Force sensitives could keep it out, with effort, so we were safer."

[childofrebellion]

"It sounds awful," And like the kind of place that would grind you down.

[last_kallig]

"It was," Ibani explains. "I could usually feel it, an almost whisper, a faint pressure against my mind."

She shudders. "It wears on you, even if you can keep it out, wears your down."

[childofrebellion]

He gives her another tight hug, "You're safe here."

[last_kallig]

"Yes," she hugs him tightly.

"Leash, Ash!" she tells the dog, who rushes joyfully down the hall to fetch his leash!

"Shall we see what there is to see?"

[childofrebellion]

Cassian laughs at how Ash runs off, teaching him to get his leash was one of the best lessons, "Yes."

[last_kallig]

Ibani attaches the leash, then grins hugely. "Then let's go!"
