This... this was why Lass was so happy Laera was her fellow padawan and partner; she was so cute, so sweet, positively adorable. The kiss brought a smile to her face - even if the burns made the smile hurt, it was worth it - and briefly turned the saber off before reaching up with her off-hand to grab the little ring on the front of the collar, pulling her head down slightly so that it was a little easier to give her a kiss, right between the anchors for her lekku.<br/><br/>"Don't beat yourself up about it; I'm pretty much the only one in recent years to bring the saber with them, and there's nothing wrong with wanting a first time to be special," Lass said softly. "We'll both make our sabers together the first chance we get, alright? We'll make sure that saber of yours is the best it can be!"<br/><br/>The woman that was her partner certainly raised every instinct in her that begged to protect someone, for she certainly was someone worth protecting. Her lightsaber came back on in a flash, and she made her way to the wall of ice with determination in her eyes...<br/><br/><hr/><br/>After what felt like forever - seriously, how thick was a wall of ICE to a giant overheated plasma blade? - during which she was essentially privy to a sauna mixed with a shower and bath that left both her and Laera soaked to the bone, the ice finally overheated and blew out, clearing the rest of the way. Her purple blade cut through the steam and fog before she gave a little twirl of her blade and went to holster-<br/><br/>Woah, the emitter was BLAZING hot! Thankfully she noticed before she put it in the holster. Seems the saber was capable of handling the overheated blade... just not cooling down from it fast enough for normal use. Noted: make a rapid-heat-dissipating emitter...<br/><br/>"Yep, both of us have our crystals, Master Sydeer," Lass replied, holding up her saber with a red-hot emitter. "Need a new lightsaber emitter though."<br/><br/>Finally deciding to risk warping the emitter by sticking it in the snow to cool and store it, Lass was... a little surprised that they were going to be going to the frontlines now. Then REALLY surprised that she and Laera were going to be given what - if she could remember correctly - were middle or higher CO ranks.<br/><br/>"Wait, a week ago I wasn't even allowed to have my own lightsaber because I might hurt myself, now we're going to have leadership roles over a bunch of clone soldiers?" Lass asked a little incredulously, arms crossed and frown right in place. "Sure, yeah, totally seems like a natural progression... but we don't have much of a choice now do we? Glad I at least brought my tools...<br/><br/>"Also can we PLEASE hurry to the ship? I'm freezing, and I mean that very, VERY literally!" she hissed at the end, considering that she and Laera were both quite soaked and thus freezing.<br/><br/>She'd get the burn cream on her own, or maybe Laera could snag some for her like a sweetheart...
