Felucia's Open Terrain

*Morgan's meditations were light, so she knew that Arela and Terra had awoken. She hadn't yet intended to stop her meditations just yet, but when she was suddenly tackled off the mat and onto the floor, she yelped and braced herself, only to find herself pinned under Ch'lonna. The Felucian girl let out what equated to a giggle and Morgan grinned before suddenly shifting her position and forcing Ch'lonna off of her, rolling over and pinning her down. As she trilled with surprise, Morgan grinned in triumph.*
That's what you get for trying to surprise me!
*Morgan then sat up, letting the child up, then was again tackled. Morgan squeaked then only giggled as she wrestled with the Felucian for a few moments, until her mother appeared and made a few noises to call them off.*
~That's enough, children, you needn't spend all your energy before your morning meal.~
*Ch'lonna released Morgan and apologized to her mother, but Morgan only smiled and started to stand up. Ch'lonna's mother approached them, and the arm behind her back was the only clue Morgan needed. She got up and approached the woman, holding a hushed conversation with her, despite the fact that Terra wouldn't understand Felucian anyway. Morgan turned around, her hands behind her, and Ch'lonna's mother discreetly placed the dress in her hands. Morgan then started to take a few steps toward Terra, grinning mischievously.*
So Terra, Mrs... Ch'lonna's mom would like me to show you something...
*And then she pulled the dress from behind her back and unfurled it, holding it apart so Terra could see the entire thing. It was a lot like Morgan's, only larger of course, with some small differences to set it apart and be unique. Morgan managed to peek over the side so she could watch and wait for Terra's reaction...*

*Morgan grinned as she watched Terra's face light up at the dress, then as she took it and donned it, twirling and asking Morgan how she looked. Morgan giggled.*
You look pretty!
*Figuring the Felucian who made the dress deserved to hear the praise, even if she could likely read it in Terra's actions, Morgan turned around and explained to her that she really appreciated. This elicited a response from her, one Morgan turned to translate to Terra.*
She's really happy you like it, and hopes you'll take care of it as well as I do mine.
*Morgan giggled, then had more to say.*
Oh! And she also says she'll have a little food for us ready soon. It's not like what we're used to having for breakfast, it's mostly like veggies and roots and stuff. Maybe a little leftover meat if we're lucky.
*Morgan went to sit on the edge of her mat, this time letting her feet dangle over the side. Ch'lonna sat down next to her, looking out-of-place but wanting to be included somehow. Morgan wasn't sure what else to say, but maybe Arela had more questions. ... or...*
So, Arela, do you remember anything else yet?

*Tracking down Morgan's father had been easy. Obtaining permission to head into the jungle for a bit had been even easier, much to Morgan's surprise. So Morgan led Serena to the edge of the jungle, outside the base, having stopped to pick up Lokay the tailring along the way. But Morgan didn't take her out into the jungle just yet, giving Serena a sideways grin.*
Watch this.
*She then looked back toward the jungle, sending out a signal to her akk Rush. It wasn't long before the beast came bounding through the forest, stopping just in front of Morgan and sitting on his haunches, looking happy to see her. Morgan giggled and looked at Serena again.*
Look familiar?
*Morgan then went to wrap her arms around Rush's neck and snuggle against him, waiting for Serena's reaction. If she grew up on Haruun Kal, she should know what an akk was. Seeing one was a different story, especially if she'd never been in the jungle, but, well, Morgan would probably find out in a moment.*

*Morgan grinned at Serena's surprised and impressed reaction, though the question of how Morgan had tamed him almost made her frown. That would involve talking about her trip on Haruun Kal... along with some details about her connection to the planet. For now, she could probably dumb it down, and only give the necessary details...*
Well, when I was on Haruun Kal, he tried to attack us, but I, well, I'm good at making animals be friends with me, so I got him to calm down and bond to me! His name is Rush! You should let him get your scent so he knows who you are.
*Morgan nudged him forward, and he got up and all fours and took a couple steps closer to Serena so that he could lick at her and get her scent.*

*Morgan giggled when Serena said that was great, then shook her head when asked if she had other pets. Then paused. In a sense... Not completely, but in a sense. So Morgan only grinned playfully and nodded.*
Sorta.
*Turning towards the jungle now, she looked back over her shoulder at Serena.*
Ready to go?

*When asked where they were going first, Morgan thought about it for a moment, then shrugged.*
Let's just walk around a bit, and we'll see what we can see!
*And so Morgan led her onward, pointing out all the various flora and sometimes fauna they came across. There weren't very animals they came across, mostly just insects or a tiny reptilian sort of creature that tended to travel in groups; they were usually best left undisturbed, as Morgan quickly pointed out. Morgan even took her to the cliff overlook, letting her take in the view far below. Morgan didn't yet tell her about the cliff being one of the first places they visited, as well as it being the beginning of her first journey through the jungle, but maybe later she would.*
And here is one of my favorite places. Well, a little bit.
*And now they were at the lake, the closest one to the base, and one of Morgan's favorite swimming places, as many would know.*
I have more favorite places, but they're farther away, but this one's close so it's good too. Do you like swimming?

*Serena's enthusiasm about swimming was making Morgan grin, and the lake near her home sounded interesting. If she loved it that much, well, that was something they had in common and could build a friendship off of pretty easily. But if she loved swimming that much... Morgan had to wonder something else. Another "test," if one would. Well, not so much a test as it was curiosity, but regardless...*
Wanna go swimming now, then?

*The near-instant response made Morgan grin; maybe Serena and her would be even greater friends than she originally thought. But there was some slight hesitance and Morgan started to frown. But then she asked if Morgan minded if she swim without a swimsuit, and Morgan's only reaction was to stare in awe for a moment. Finally... Morgan had found someone after her own heart! Well, not quite, but it was still quite awesome to find someone else who shared her tastes. Oh, and her expression was probably a bit strange, so Morgan shook her head and put on a grin.*
Not at all! I mean, that's what I do all the time!
*She giggled, then, a silly thought coming to her, she grinned mischievously.*
Race ya!
*Morgan realized she had a bit of a handicap, considering she was only wearing her dress, but perhaps having to coax Lokay off her shoulder made up for that a little? Probably not, but Morgan was out of her clothing pretty quickly and jumping into the water. She giggled as she paddled around a bit, then turned to face Serena and grinned.*

*Morgan giggled as Serena did and exclaimed that this was great, something Morgan agreed with entirely. As she paddled in place, she considered initiating some sort of water war, but, seeing as Serena was a self-proclaimed swimming enthusiast, Morgan wondered if Serena had any ideas of her own.*
Know any water games?
