That was probably the most intense action that Ezra and Sabine had had so far in their relationship. The boy had indeed shown his repentance by giving his girlfriend multiple peaks of ecstasy, all the while she enjoyed forcing him to hold back until she was done.

Nonetheless, by the end of the night, Ezra was reassured that Sabine had forgiven him for ignoring her and now their relationship was stronger than before.

In the following days, Ezra ingratiated her even more by keeping the other promise and bringing her in the workshop as he worked on creating another cloaking device for himself. For the two lovers it brought back memories of months before, when he was teaching her how he built his unique lightsaber, creating a melee weapon able to fire like a blaster. That period was the one when they actually became aware of their feelings. They would enthusiastically talk about the argument at hand, but whenever they found themselves touching or brushing each other the atmosphere became increasingly embarrassing.

And worst of all, Jaral was waiting for them every time they finished to tease them both and making them turn red like tomatoes. Though, in the end, it did help them to figure out the truth.

Now, however, it was only the two of them, officially in a relationship, and while they worked with due diligence on the project, they openly enjoyed the chances to touch each other, since that was a relatively private space. It was certainly a good way to build up excitement for the night whenever they knew they had the cabin for themselves.

It wasn't all nice and dandy, however. Jaral, for example, spent more and more time on the Liberator, specifically between the control bridge, her own fighter and Darvos' cabin. After they met the Inquisitors, Jaral became more and more involved into planning the route of the fleet, as she had some experience dating back to the Grand Inquisitor hunting the Ghost the year before. Of course she also asked for Ezra's opinion more than once. All the while they both had to keep themselves sharp with constant training and providing the necessary maintenance for their armors.

And in the midst of all this, Jaral had also officially received the rank of Sergeant, which was a cause for a small party aboard the Ghost.

Two weeks later the episode on the medical station, and after more than a month spent faring in space, the Phoenix fleet finally made its first stop into a proper spaceport: Garel.

Using different spaceports in the capital to hide the various ships, the fleet was able to conceal itself. It was a long overdue pit stop. Staying so long in space had got on the nerves of most of the personnel, even the Ghost crew.

Jaral used the opportunity to spend two days finally customizing a bit her A-wing, with Sabine's help. She had it painted with various blue motifs and, most importantly, a blue nova on the tail.

Once that was done, she joined the Ghost crew for some time off.

One morning, the siblings were in the hangar bay, making some long-range target practice with the blaster rifles under Rex's supervision.
