Marcus Solusar looked down at the PADD in his hands in silence. He was heading back to Earth on today's transport. At the present time, he was standing in the departure section of Utgarde IV's main starport. But at the end of the matter. He was unsure if he wanted to leave. He had not expected to find here what he had found. Kameron had been right, all along in saying that Kadian Paris was everything that Marcus had been wanting in a woman.

Lieutenant Kadian Paris regarded the man before her. "You ready to go?" she asked softly, as she looked up at him. She knew he was leaving as they had been discussing the matter the previous evening over dinner and then some more while in bed together, Solusar had not expected Paris to be a wet and wild bedmate but then he had not been looking for one either. He had wanted a woman who knew herself and what she wanted.

Solusar knew that Paris had left quite an indelible impression on his brother. He was unsure as to the details of the matter but he wanted to know more about the matter. Alas, now they were too late as he would be leaving shortly.

Solusar inhaled softly. "Yeah," he answered as he sighed softly. He turned his attention from the PADD over, to the face of Kadian Paris. She looked unhappy while she lifted her chin. She was shorter than Solusar was, and smaller as well. "Did you consider any thoughts about the offer that Kam made to you?"

"I did," Solusar answered. "I've gotten tired of living on Earth." he regarded her. "I dunno Kadian. I don't know what it is about Earth." he sighed softly. "I can't explain it." he then shrugged, almost as if to say it had not been a major concern for him to deal with at this point in time.

"You hate Earth. It's too built up. The cities were too large and the natural areas were not what you wanted." Paris commented as she regarded him with a gentle smile. "Utgarde Four, however... Has what you want. If you wanna go for a hike. You can take a shuttle and go anywhere on the planet... You could also lay claim to names for some locations... Solusar River, for example." as she slowly grinned at him. "Maybe even the Solusar Sea. I know a lot of places on Utgarde Four aren't named as yet," she added.

Solusar regarded the woman next to him. "I need to go back to Earth and deal with things. But I'll be back. Then, I want to walk along an unnamed beach with you. Just the two of us... So we can go camping together. I want to get to know you better." He added.

"Y'know. Dad said that if I was unsure then I was to end this quickly." Paris commented. "But... Will you be back?"

"Yes. It'll take me a little time. But I'll be back." Solusar paused as he looked at her. "If you want me around. Then, I will be," he commented.

"You sound like Kam." Paris paused before she let out a smile. "Kam was right about you," she admitted. "Especally on Christmas eve. That was memorable," she added.

"Kam learned his lessons well. But I can't take credit for another man's work." Solusar responded as he looked down into her baby blue eyes. "I can see why you think so well of him," he commented. "But Kadian. I'm not him," he said quietly.

Thats when the call went out over the com system. "Now hear this, now hear this... Flight Two Two six of Trans-spaceways will begin advance boarding now. All first-class passengers please make your way for boarding."

"Thats you." Paris regarded him. "You'd best be going," she added in a soft tone. She lifted her chin as she regarded him. Solusar then kissed her on the lips, a kiss that she returned with one of her own. This kiss lasted a few moments, but then their lips parted with a soft pop. "Take care, Kadian." Solusar reached down, picking up his small bag in the process. He then turned away from her, before heading over to the security station. He went through the security station before going aboard the small ship.

Solusar located the single room that was his for the trip back to Earth. He settled in before he decided he would climb into the bunk to get some sleep. He also wanted to pass some of the time sleeping, he hated to travel, he often found it to be very boring.

Paris stood for a moment longer. She sighed softly before the zafting woman turned and departed the starport. Paris suspected that he would not return. She let out a soft sigh as she went on her way, in silence.
