Burning Skies Saloon
Yiski:
*Yiski sighs*
Alright, by the skies, it's been awhile since the saloon been like this. I wouldn't mind if this happened every night.
Papa Paradox:
"The one you recently covered in tar? HA!"
Jen was holding onto Paradox's right arm, she was obviously intimidated by the patrons of the bar. She was humble but not sure how to react, her nervousness seeped into Paradox. Although he didn't openly acknowledge it, he was aware and on high guard.
One of the patrons grabbed her ass as he brushed past her.
She let out a subtle "eep" noise.
Within seconds Paradox twirled around, pushing Jen behind him, He tripped the man who then proceed to slam his face on the bar counter. Paradox grabbed him by the back of the collar and held him suspended in mid air, his volcanic pistol was aimed at the mans chest.
"Yiski, would you kindly tell this man who he has flaked with? Right now I'm deciding whether or not to kill him."
*He cocked the pistol*
Besides the few people who saw this occur, the rest of the bar continued as if nothing was happening.
Yiski:
*Yiski looks to the poor sap who just pissed of Paradox*
You have just pissed of the CEO of the Dandy Lions Trading Company. I'd say more, but I think you get an idea of the man you're dealing with.
*Yiski looks at Paradox*
Let the idiot go. We're having fun and the last thing I want is a dead man on my saloon floor.
RearAdmiralZill:
*Zill Takes the man from PapaP and throws him on the ground. Jun'ko kicks him out the door*
There. Now quit pickin' fights you overgrown teapot. I swear, have a good time for once.
*He pats Yiski's back*
Me and Jun'ko are headed out. Dont worry about the spare barrels. Ill get them eventually.
*One last toast as Zill leaves.*
By the Skies we drink this night. Be merry my men!
*A final cheer follows the two out the door.*
-Narrator-
The cool wind bit ever so slightly at the skin tonight. Jun'ko huddles close to Zill as they made their way to the Port. They were empty, save for the boats docked. His Galleon sat as it was placed. He stood and the memories nipped at his conscience. Zill lets out a deep breath.
This ship brings back more than I will ever know, doesnt it?
It does. I could tell you the story a million times and the pain would never sink in as it does for me.
Jun'ko slowly removes his mask, and kisses his cheek.
I couldnt imagine. But i hope i can lessen it, my Admiral.
I feel it even now.
Let us sleep. We need it after a night like this. *Chuckles*
The two retreat to the back chambers. Jun'ko puts Zill to bed, and she joins him shortly after. She knows its not yet time, and is more than happy to comfort him into a peaceful sleep.

Yiski:
--NARRATOR--
The evening in the saloon went on even with the single unpleasant moment. Paradox was still a steaming and messing with his outfit only to have Jen fix it up again. Other than that, the entire saloon was singing and drkining.
Been awhile since the saloon seen this much good times.
Meanwhile, Zill and Jun’ko shared a nice warm bed on Zill’s galleon. Zill enjoyed the comfort Jun’ko brought him mentally and to an extent physically.
While the festivities continued at the saloon, Roland and Ny-Lee left the theater. Both of them were laughing hysterically and holding their sides.
I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard in my life.
I know. I would like to know how they managed to get a tiger well-tamed enough for that scene.
The two continued to talk about various aspects of the play as they walked through the Garden District. As they walked, Ny-Lee kissed Roland on the cheek.
I had a wonderful evening tonight.
Roland smiled and returned the kiss.
Well, the night is not over yet. I did promise you a surprise.
Ny-Lee giggled.
I believe you’re right. So, what is this surprise?
Patience. First we need to head to the Docks.
The Docks? The surprise is there?
There was confusion and hesitation in Ny-Lee’s tone. It was understandable, nobody in their right mind would take their date to the Docks... unless you wanted to push them off the side. A thought Zill had many times with new engineers. Roland looked at Ny-Lee.
Yes and no. The surprise is somewhere else. But we need to get to the Docks.
The young couple arrived at the Docks. At this time, the Docks were unusually quiet. Ny-Lee was still wondering what the surprise could be as she followed closely behind Roland. The two walked towards the back of the Docks and sees one of the slots occupied, but covered in a giant tarp.
Here it is.
What is it?
I’ll show you.
Roland walks over to the console and presses the button to roll back the tarp. It was a squid. Ny-Lee was shocked.
Is this your ship Roland?
No, it’s Yiski’s. Say hello the Kyllo. And before you ask, yes, Yiski knows I am using the Kyllo for our date. It is why he handed me this package. And no, you will know what is inside as soon as we get airborne.
At this point, Ny-Lee is beyond words and thinks to herself.
A fine dinner, a wonderful show, and now an airship flight. Roland certainly knows how to impress.
Roland jumps onto the Kyllo and offers his hand to Ny-Lee which she takes. Roland runs the necessary checks and takes the Kyllo out of the Docks. Soon, Roland clears Anvalan airspace and they’re high above the clouds. Ny-Lee is so excited she holds her arms out and lets the wind rush by her.
At this time, all of Anvala’s citizens are asleep. Only these two remain awake. There’s a point where there’s no cross-wind to be had and Roland manages to find the point, settle the Kyllo, and kill the engines. Roland walks over to Ny-Lee and hands her the pacakge.
Well, you wanted to know what was inside.
Roland opens the package to reveal two heavy blankets. Ny-Lee was more confused now than ever.
Why did Yiski give you blankets?
Well, first, it’s cold up here. Second, wait.
Ny-Lee wanted to know what the second part was, but at least he was right on the first. It was bloody cold. So the two dawned on the blankets and sat, snuggling each other. Two hours pass of silent bliss. Eventually, Ny-Lee had to break the silence.
Roland, this was the most wonderful date, but I’m still curious as to wh....
Ny-Lee was interrupted by something so charming and glorious, it just caused her to hang her mouth wide open.
I’ve never seen a sunrise like... it’s so beautiful.
Roland smiled.
Surprise.
Ny-Lee looked at Roland’s expression and she felt warm all over despite the cold altitude temperatures.
I’ve been on dates before, but Roland... my goodness, I think I love him.
