Unbreakable Bond- Star Wars Jedi: fallen order

Chapter 12

       Aurora stirred awake as she felt Cal move suddenly. She mumbled slightly and rubbed at her eyes as she woke up. "Hey, wake up." She heard Greez say. "Can we talk?" He added and Cal glanced at Aurora, checking to see if she was awake.
   
       Aurora was slightly embarrassed that Greez went to wake up Cal, only to find her also in his bed. Aurora quickly shook it off and nodded at Greez and they both got situated to sit.

        "I don't know what's going on between you two and Cere. I assumed it was with a bunch of Jedi stuff. But I don't think this is the right time for it." Greez stated as he sat down next to Cal.

      "It's not any of your business." Cal said and Aurora gently grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down. "Cal." She spoke softly "I thinks it's my business. We're all in this together, aren't we?" Greez asked and it tugged on Aurora's heart, Cal just looked away from Greez. Aurora and Cal made eye contact and she nodded reassuringly.

      "Hey Cal....Aurora. I made a mistake and I almost got you both killed. I'm sorry." Greez spoke softly and was genuine with his words. "I mean we all make mistakes, right?" Greez said and laughed lowly. "Well maybe not you." He added as he was met with silence again.

       "Hey, why don't you cut her some slack? I'm not saying do it for me but you three are the best thing that ever happened in my life." Greez pauses before continuing.

       "Before you came along, all I cared about was a tight hand on a stiff heater....That's uhhh, a game turner."

"I know what it is." Cal spoke as he looked at Greez.

       "Cal life is not a game. Before you three, all I cared about was myself. Easy money. Now, it's different." Greez stated and waited for them to say something. When there was nothing but silence. Greez got off the bed and walked out.

        Cal sighed and his shoulders slumped a little. Aurora leaned against him and rested her head on his shoulder. "I already know what you are thinking." Cal mumbled and Aurora smiled slightly. "I don't think you do actually. However, I'm curious to hear what you think I am thinking about." Aurora said

      "I assumed you would not want to talk about it or...I don't know." Cal spoke truthfully and Aurora hummed softly.

       "What are you actually thinking?" Cal asked.

         "I think..." Aurora paused and sighed. "that this, our conflict with Cere, is getting in the way and it is affecting Greez. Even though we didn't know that before, we do now and we need to take that into consideration." Aurora stated calmly and Cal sighed.

       "I also think that we need put these things aside and make our environment better. Greez can tell we are pissed and that Cere is angry. We don't have to talk to her yet but eventually we do. I'll do it but only for Greez." Aurora finished and Cal laid back down.

      "That's not what I expected you to say."

"I guess I'm full of surprises." Aurora said

       "We have a few hours left, we should go back to bed." Cal suggested and Aurora nodded as she laid down, going back to sleep.

       Aurora was sore but, her and Cal continued walking. They both were on kashyyyk, making a journey to the top of the tree of...something. Aurora wasn't listening to Cal when he explained to her what was going on. She was extremely busy thinking about how adorable he was when talking.

      They were on some built wooden platforms and Aurora leaned to look over the railing. Her eyes widened in horror as she realized how high up they were. "This is crazy." Aurora mumbled, looking over at Cal who was checking the stormtrooper he finished off.
