*19 BBY, Kiros*

We woke early in the morning to work. The sun rose over this beautiful planet, sending warmth over my face. Nowadays, my helmet was off rather than on. I liked the fresh air.

Work was over by midmorning. We decided to split up and do whatever we wanted for the day. We would go home tomorrow morning and await our new mission. I stayed with Detta, and we tramped around a large city, taking in the food, art, and more. I enjoyed her company. The sun radiated beautifully off of her violet skin, bringing out her freckles. Once it began to get dark, we went to dinner someplace. The food was simple, but very good. We had bought a small amount of alcohol to enjoy together. The stars had begun to shine in the night sky before we finished our drinks.

"How was your drink?" Detta asked.

"Delicious." I replied. "But-"

"But?"

"I like the taste of you better." I leaned over. Detta met me halfway and pressed her lips to mine.

"You're a flirt." She rolled her eyes. We paid and left the restaurant, headed back to the main camp.
