Like I said, it was done in bits and pieces over time, but I think the result is well worth it”</em><br/><br/>She couldn't help but put her hands on Kari's back.  The soft warmth of her skin sent chills through Allia's body, the hair along her skin standing straight up at attention.  A tightness grew in her belly as she ran her hands along the soft muscular lines of Kari's body, following the story in the art.  "Oh my god Kari, words can't describe how beautiful you are, the colors and the story mixed so well into the curves of your body are simply breathtaking."<br/>Allia realized at that point that no matter how she wanted Kari, that her friendship with the woman and the closeness to her was more important than sexual desire.  She spent what seemed like an hour running her hands over Kari's back, tracing the lines and following the story.  Finally letting Kari know that she's always going to be here for her as a friend and as one of her commanders she gave Kari a tender hug, slipping a soft peck on her cheek before excusing herself knowing that Kari had a briefing planned for the crew later that afternoon.<br/>She left Kari's quarters, a soft smile on her face and a warmth filling her body as she realized how close they had just become.<br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/>Dropship Black Sun, outbound<br/>Mech Hangar Bay<br/>1 January 3145<br/>Tagged:[/b] Moshe, Damien<br/><br/>Allia settled into her favorite spot on Gheistwulf's shoulder, the only place on her mech besides buried in it's compact cockpit where she felt calming forces at work on her body.  The conversation with Moshe had gone much the way she had expected.  He would comply with her requests regarding his training and his mech, mainly because he wanted to remain a part of the unit and he knew this was the only way.  He didn't like it however, and that was her problem.  How could she train someone who apparently didn't want to be doing what he was being told to do.  Regardless of it being a military organization, Mercs had a tendency to be pig headed and rash, which never turned out well in the end.  The worst part was that Moshe was rash and unpredictable, which was an even worse combination in a unit built around precision and surprise.<br/><br/>As she sat quietly on her mechs shoulder, doodling quietly on the pad of paper she carried around in her cargo pants, she couldn't help but notice Damien walk into the hangar bay.  She smiled, her grin twisting her face into a wicked smile.  Her devious mind running wild as she thought about all of the events of the day and how she hadn't had a proper chance to 'unwind'.  She kept her attention off of him as he walked across the bay, scaring the young technicians with his demeanor and stature.<br/><br/><em>"Lieutenant Rowe, I believe you owe me an elaboration on Moshe?"</em><br/><br/>Allia rolled her eyes, not wanting to rehash her day for Damian, but she had promised.  "Fine, but you have to come up, I'm not coming down."
