Welcome to Gaia! ::

The heels of Caledonite's boots clicked against the concreate as he strode down the sidewalk. He'd been a little distracted with things and had lost track of time. With any luck, Dinara hadn't immediately taken off when she saw that he wasn't there exactly on time. But when he rounded the corner and saw a pool of hair, he sighed.

"Dinara." He called softly, hoping not to startle her. Never mind that his energy signature was probably enough to already set her on edge. "I'm sorry. I got a little, distracted with uh- He made a grimace, probably bet not to get into details. "I lost track of time. I'm sorry." Caledonite moved closer, slowly. "Dinara, hon. Are you alright Dear?"

"I-...yes? Of course I did." Caledonite said, confused. Hadn't this been the plan? This is what she wanted wasn't it? The Captain tilted his head to the side, throwing her a curious look. "...I told you I would... This isn't the first time I said I'd be back for someone." He frowned and moved to sit by Dinara, but keeping a small gap between them less she get skitish for space. "I told you I would. If me showing up here every week is what it takes to keep you from squashing your potential, then I'm going to do it. Chaos be damned. "Unlike the other around here. I'm not going to give up on others so quickly."

Caledonite tilted his head, regarding her curiously. "And just... what, are you thinking about exactly?" He flexed his fingers, suddenly unsure with himself. "You will feel weak and useless in the very beginning. Or at the very least, I did. But perhaps that was just because I was drained before hand. It might be different for those who aren't." His gaze dropped though. "You would remember more then I did." He admitted. "I lost almost everything when I was corrupted. I knew a few things mind you. My powered name, who it was that screwed me over. But everything else? Who I was? From things to family... to birthdays... Hell I couldn't even tell you if I had any lovers prior to being Caledonite."

It had all gone up in smoke.

He froze for a moment when she leaned on him, but he relaxed almost as quickly. Though he did make a face when she asked about her starseed. "Din... Do you realize the irony in that? You say I won't hurt you... But I have to hurt you in order to get your starseed." Caledonite sighed, leaning against her. "I don't know what mine looks like you know. But lets see.... If I had to hazard a guess on what yours looks like... I would like to think that its full of warm sunset colors... cool sunrise colors. Sometimes it probably looks like a soft rainbow like your dress. Other times it might sparkle and shimmer pretty metallic colors as if it were glitter." He laughed softly. "I don't know about you, but I think that fits your... how did you put it? 'Sparkling personality'?"

"I can not help you, if you are still Cosmos. People will assume the worst every time, and ask questions later. Believe it or not, I want to create as few problems for you as possible." It would hurt. There was no denying the corruption would hurt. She would be fortunate, if willing, that the corruption would be her choice. Maybe her ache wouldn't be such a vivid reminder.

"Of course I want you to come to my side. As does Marialite. Galaxite will love you as well." His gaze snapped to her then. "I never said you weren't beautiful." Caledonite grumbled. Sure, Dinara might look better with darker colors, but that did not mean he thought any less of how she looked now. "You are beautiful Dinara, make no mistake of that."

Caledonite growled, shoving his hand through her chest when she moved it without hesitation. "I did not want to hurt you Dinara. Do not force my hand like this again. Do you understand me?" He said, closing his hand around her star seed and giving it a swift yank. The Captain frowned, opening his fingers to reveal the star seed. "It is beautiful. Just as you are, My Dear." He said, holding it up for her to see, if she was still conscious that was.

Caledonite grabbed at her when she slumped over. He had tried to warn her. Gently, Cale returned to glimmering starseed to Dinara and almost as gently, scooped her up before jumping up on to one of the near by rooftops. It was probably best to get out of direct line of sight... Never quite knew who was watching in the windows as such.

The Captain laid her down, careful of her head and sat a short distance away. He watched for any sign of trouble, both from the surrounding area, and from her... Just in case something went wrong. "Dinara?" Cale called out softly. "Dinara, I need you to wake up Dear..." He didn't exactly sit facing her, but he had taken a hold of her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

Caledonite turned when she sighed, but chuckled at her dramatics. "It's not my fault you didn't like the description I gave you." He sat patiently as she rearranged herself on him before, resting his head on top of hers. "I have been known to be a bit of a jerk though..." The Captain wrapped his arm's loosely around her, keeping her steady just in case she still felt off. "Mmm.. But did you pester Marialite with getting it? Perhaps I might have been more inclined to show you, had I not known you like sharing that special spark with others..." Marialite was one thing... He could learn to share with Marialite... Others though... Perhaps... Perhaps not. Only time would tell. "Maybe I'm just jealous and want it to myself. Did you ever think of that?"

He chuckled again, picking up his head to look at her. "But did I prove my point?" He asked, brushing hair out of her face. Cale moved to brush the tears from her eyes but Dinara quickly saw to that herself. "Are you alright?" He asked softly. Realistically, he knew that no. She wasn't 'alright'. He had just put her through quite a bit. "I did not leave Galaxite, nor did I leave Marialite. I promised them both just as I promised you. I will not leave you."

"I can think of a few reasons..." Caledonite said, a sly smirk growing a cross his face. "They liked the danger, you like danger... Apparently I'm all of ya'll's type.."

Cale snorted, rolling his eyes. "Put that tongue away before I take it." He threw her a flat, unamused look when she brought up Kanan, again. "I can be jealous of someone you continue to bring up, who might I remind you, has deserted you... while you're sitting in my lap." The Captain grumbled. "I am right here, you know." How rude.

"I was not going to squeeze it. Not on top of everything else. I told you, they are fragile. I did not want to risk it shattering." If he had accidentally shattered it... Caledonite sighed. "Perhaps another time maybe..."

Caledonite chuckled again, leaning back against the edge of the roof and taking her with him. "So I proved a point. Just not the main one." He hummed softly. "Are you sure it is not I that has claimed you?"
