Quote: Wanted Wisps (11) : Small, wispy orbs are floating through the city. They can be found during the day but are far more visible at night. They seem to bob along a few feet off the ground and sometimes flicker in and out of sight. They are warm to the touch and seem to be somewhat magical in nature. Anyone can gather them in their hands; they do not quite feel solid but cannot slip through fingers or escape any container. If you find one of these, you must return it to the merchant. If you do not roleplay with him, it will be assumed that you returned the piece to hi anyway; there is no way to keep these. Please see this post for information on turning in the Wisp and claiming your prize.
He did not quite understand why she'd taken it so hard, it wasn't like they'd been super close... right? Maybe? Mourite worried on his bottomlip in thought. Okay, so he'd lied. They didn't know each other's civilian names, so really they lied to each other anyway. As he'd said, it was a survival mechanism. Did she have to take it so hard though...
Mourite glanced at Dinara and sighed. He just did not know enough about her to make a good judgement call. Which... was probably part of the reason why Dinara got upset. Hng, interpersonal relationships were so complicated.
"So find a wisp and maybe we can get into the dome, yeh?" he said, putting on an air of excitement and curiosity instead of the muted depression trying to drag him under. A new start, that's what this could be. Yeh! It would be fun.

Dinara stared at him and just shook her head. “Fine. We’ll find a wisp. We’ll get into the dome and then.” And then what? They’d magically fix all of this? She’d magically stop being both furious with him and hung up over him? Doubtful but…
...It would be great if that would happen…wouldn’t it?
Her shoulders slumped and she nodded after another long moment. ‘Yeah. That sounds like a good idea, Mourite. Lead the way.”
...She’d been following him for this long anyway...why not a little bit longer.
"Do you know what they might look like? Other than the drawing on the sign? And how does one...catch a wisp anyway. Do you have a net?" Do you ever think things through? Ever?
More importantly...did she? "If this takes longer than tonight..I'm afraid you'll have to do it on your own, just saying.

She really didn't have to come along. She could have just gone away with that shitty little attitude of hers, and Mourite would have been just fine but here they were. Looking for wisps. That they may not know what they look like or how to catch them. Does he ever think things through, indeed...
"Then we see what's inside. Maybe die. Maybe get some cool s**t. I dunno, Dinara, it's not like I plan things before I do them. I was thinking maybe I could eat the ******** thing or, here's a nice idea, catch it with my hands," he shot at her, wiggling his fingers at her.
Dinara would be the death of him. Yes.
"You are free to leave whenever you feel like it, Dinara, I ain't keeping you here," he said, turning down an alley to look for little floating orb things he only had a drawing off. "I'm guessing they're small little floating balls of light? That's what was on the sign, anyway. Probably won't look like a youma or anything... unless they can also glow these days..." So what if he didn't really know what youma looked much these days. He tried to stay away from the beasties! They weren't exactly happy to be around agents either, okay!

“Well that much is obvious.” Dinara muttered, scoffing slightly at the idea of Mourite planning something. Obviously that wasn’t something that ever happened. “And if it goes through your hands? If it isn’t even real? What if there aren’t any?”
...What if this is all just a stupid dream and he wasn’t even there to begin with and she was just going utterly crazy.
...Oh. Well. Now that seemed like the most logical explanation and the page suddenly sighed. “No idea. Maybe they glow. Maybe we’ll find a wisp and get a genie in a magic lamp and get three wishes. Obviously I’ll get two of the three, but I might listen to what you want and think about giving you the third.”
Maybe.
She looked around, still walking with the lieutenant, her mood sinking slightly. If this was just a dream, maybe she shouldn’t be so...rude. Maybe she should take whatever time she could get with him. With Kanan.
…Her Kanan...

He raised a brow, amused. "Oh, so you'd be the one to rub the genie out, I see. Didn't realize you were into semi-phenomenal cosmic powers living in itty bitty living spaces," he said, amusement in his voice. Mourite chuckled, shaking his head a little and patting her on the head. Probably an overreach, but he just... couldn't help it.
There was a flash to his left and Mourite froze, suddenly on high alert. He looked around, looking for a flicker of light.
"There," he said, pointing at a flicker of light bobbing in the air around a corner. Okay so he could only see the flicker of light and not the blob thing itself but hey! It was a start! See, Dinara, he wasn't completely incompetent! SEE!?

“Who wouldn’t be into them. They have power and a home...what more can a girl want?” Dinara felt...rather sassy. Like all of her anger, all of her feelings just...had built up to a point that she couldn’t quite control them any longer. Besides. If this was a dream...it didn’t matter.
She followed where his finger was pointing and pursed her lips. “It might just be a lightning bug? Flickering light doesn’t mean it’s going to be a wisp, but...okay smart guy. I’ll follow your lead. Catch me a wisp with your bare hands. Prove to me how manly you are.”
She hoped it would bite him. That would be funny.
There was a part of Dinara that hoped the light really was a wisp...because that…
It just seemed so neat. She liked adventure sometimes after all.

Mourite flashed her a wide grin and ran over, launching himself forward. He skidded around the corner and grabbed for the little bit of light.
His fingers closed around the wisp with a whoosh of sound. The Lt tumbled over and landed on the ground, hands clasped tight around the little fluttering light.
'HAH! Got you!" he shouted in excitement, looking backwards for Dinara. "I have one I have one! See it's not going through my fingers, hah!"

It wasn’t attractive, and it sure as hell wasn’t ladylike, but Dinara snorted, covering her mouth with her hand as Mourite made an absolute fool of himself. “Good job. I‘m so proud of you.”
God, she wanted this to be real. Wanted him to actually be here and for them to be...doing whatever this was. Wisp hunting or whatever.
Walking over to him, she held out her hands. “Now, give it to me so I can get in, and then go catch another one, Mr. Jar handed Jedi…” She paused and burst into laughter. “Oh my god. This just means you’re Jar Jar! Some hero, Kanan!” She was happier now though, that much was obvious.

Stars, the sounds that came out of Dinara were the most unladylike in the world and it was so hilarious. Mourite broke into a laugh, the amusement infectious, and he placed the wisp in her shaking hands.
"Darth Jar Jar, thank you very much!" he couldn't even really hold it against her; it was just too funny.
All they needed was one more, then was back to the dome bubble thing for the merchant.
Which, as it all but BLINDED HIM by floating in his face, was not hard at all. Orangeish Sherbert I'm at WC if we wanna finish up!

Dinara took the wisp with a pleased expression, nodding. “Darth Jar Jar it is. Now, come on! Let’s get going before the strange bubble pops or something. We have the wisps...I’ll race you!”
She wouldn’t, because she would lose...and most likely trip but. The sentiment was there. And..maybe tonight really wasn’t so bad after all. Dinara was still mad though.
...at least a little.
