*Morgan waited for Terra to wet her own hair and sit back down before taking the shampoo bottle and getting to work on the older girl's hair. She made sure to be as thorough as possible without scrubbing too hard. She also didn't want to do a bad job and leave part of Terra's hair dirty! Her face even hardened with concentration at one point, before finally she deemed her work was satisfactory.*
Done!
*She stepped back, let the water rinse off any shampoo on her hands or body, then let Terra have room to wash the shampoo out of her hair.*

Terra giggled and closed her eyes as she felt Morgan's hands on her scalp, and she had to admit, this was actually kind of relaxing. Soon Morgan had finished and Terra stuck her head under the water to rinse, and once she was done, she turned around so that she was facing Morgan."That was fun."She giggled a little.

*Morgan watched with a smile as Terra rinsed out her own hair then turned around to face Morgan. When she said that that was fun and giggled, Morgan giggled with her, then, seeing that Terra was still sitting, she stepped forward and sat in Terra's lap, wrapping her arms around the older girl's neck and snuggling against her.*
I love you, Terra!
*It was such an innocent statement, full of joy and affection, but a brief moment passed and suddenly Morgan didn't feel as happy. She shrank a little in Terra's lap, then looked up at her, a little crestfallen.*
I wish you didn't have to leave so soon...

Terra smiled when Morgan sat down in her lap and hugged her, and she wrapped her arms around the girl in turn. When Morgan said that she loved Terra, she smiled and gently kissed the girl's forehead."I love you too Morgan."She really did love the girl, which made it that much more difficult for her knowing that she had to leave. Morgan was like a sister to her, a bond that had grown strong during her time on Felucia.
She sighed and held Morgan tighter."I know...I wish I could stay longer..."Even if her stay got extended, she would still have to leave eventually, and she couldn't afford to put off her training on Corellia either. It didn't make having to leave any easier. Of course, there was always the possibility of a return visit in the future, too."I promise I'll come back, Morgan. I'll come back to visit again."She smiled down at Morgan.

*Morgan was happy to hear that Terra loved her too, but it only made the fact that she was leaving soon that much sadder. When Terra's hug tightened, Morgan rested her head on Terra's shoulder and also somewhat tightened her hug. Yes, Morgan also wished Terra could stay longer... but Terra had stuff to do, she knew that. She looked back up at Terra when she promised to return one day and managed to force a smile, before resting her head on Terra's shoulder again.*
I know... and I hope you do soon.
*Morgan remained snuggled against Terra for a few moments before looking up at the water flow without removing her head from Terra's shoulders and sighing.*
I could sit like this forever...
*She really could, the water was so warm and soothing, and Terra was just so comfortable. As that innocent thought passed through her mind, another one appeared and she giggled a little. Without moving, she raised a hand and, using the Force, made the soap levitate toward her. She carefully placed it in her open palm, then she sat up in Terra's arms, carefully bringing both hands around in front of her to hold up the soap between them with a grin.*
... but we still haven't soaped up yet!

Terra nodded again and held Morgan tightly, also hoping that another visit to Felucia would come sooner rather than later. One way or another though, she would come back to visit Morgan again, no matter what happened.
She giggled when Morgan said that she could sit like this forever, and Terra was thinking that she probably wouldn't be opposed to that. Sitting here with Morgan in her arms under the water was actually very relaxing and an opportunity to continue to bond with her.
She noticed the soap floating towards them and giggled when Morgan mentioned that they hadn't soaped up yet."You're right..."She scooted back a little bit."You want to wash first or should I?"

*Morgan giggled when Terra said she was right, then, after Terra scooted backward a little and asked which of them should wash first, she stood and grinned.*
I will!
*She let the water run over her body once more to sufficiently soak herself, then stepped out and soaped herself up, before stepping back under the water, making sure she gave herself a thorough cleansing. Then she smiled and stepped outside of the running water, picking up the soap and holding it out to Terra.*
All done! Here you go!

Terra took the soap from Morgan after the girl finished washing herself and stood up."OK."Smiling, she lathered her hands and quickly washed herself, stepping under the water when she was done. After making sure she had rinsed the suds off of herself, she replaced the soap and grinned at Morgan."I'm done now."She wondered if now would be a good time to get out and dry off. If Morgan wanted to snuggle some more though, they could still do that too."Do you want to go and dry off now?"

*Morgan stood and watched Terra soap up and rinse off, then returned the grin when she announced she was done too. When asked if she wanted to go dry now, Morgan didn't even need to think on it as she shook her head.*
Not yet!
*She giggled and stepped under the water again, tilting her head back and closing her eyes as she let the water run over her, then tilted her head forward and opened her eyes to grin up at Terra.*
The water feels too good to get out so soon!
*And should Terra agree, Morgan had left her enough room to join her. Morgan quite enjoyed showers simply because they were so relaxing, and while she tried not to take too long in the shower, she definitely liked to stay in one as long as possible, especially warm ones like this.*

Terra giggled and nodded in agreement, figuring it would be just fine if they stayed for a little longer. They still had time left, after all."OK. Come snuggle."She sat back down under the water and beckoned Morgan to come sit down with her for snuggling. Now with all the washing out of the way, they could have some uninterrupted snuggling time.

*Morgan was glad Terra agreed to stay longer, and thought snuggling was an even better idea. When Terra sat down and beckoned her, Morgan eagerly placed herself in Terra's lap and wrapped her arms around her neck, snuggling into her. She sat there in silence for a few moments, then sighed.*
I wish we could sit like this forever...
*She'd already said something similar, but it was worth saying again. She felt she meant it pretty sincerely as well, with how relaxing the water was and how comfortable she felt in Terra's lap under it. Obviously, she didn't literally mean she'd want to sit there forever, but she could sit like this for a pretty long time. Time she knew they didn't have, which made her sigh again and snuggle closer against Terra, wishing again she could stay longer.*

Terra sighed softly and nodded in agreement."Yeah...I know what you mean..."She too wished that she could stay sitting under the water like this forever. She held Morgan tightly in her arms, knowing full well that their time was running out but she didn't mind spending it like this. It was sad that she would have to leave but she knew that she would return one day. She had made a promise after all...
Sighing, Terra leaned down and kissed Morgan on the cheek."I...we should get out and dry off....I....I'll have to go soon."She swallowed, trying to get rid of the lump in her throat. It was almost evening which meant the shuttle would be ready soon...

*Morgan was glad Terra knew what she meant and continued to snuggle against her for many more, silent moments. Nothing even needed to be said, really; what even was there to be said? This was bonding enough, just the two of them sitting quietly in each other's embrace under the flow of warm water. But then Terra sighed and, after kissing Morgan's cheek, again suggested they dry off, repeating that she would have to leave soon.
Morgan could feel the sadness within Terra; mixed with the sadness from within Morgan, it was difficult to fight back the tears. Her grip on Terra tightened a little and she shook with a sob as her eyes started to glisten. Morgan understood, Morgan knew that Terra would have to go back to finish her training and perform other duties, but even then she couldn't prevent her childish impulses from taking over, as she pried herself from Terra and gazed into her face.*
Please don't go, Terra! I, I know you have to go but why now? It hasn't been that long!
*One benefit to being in the shower right now? At least Morgan's tears wouldn't be as easily noticeable.*

Terra sighed and almost burst into tears when she saw how sad Morgan looked, but she managed to hold them back as she placed a hand on Morgan's shoulder. It felt like just yesterday that she had met Morgan and become friends with her, all that time seeming to have passed by in the blink of an eye. She almost wanted to try and see if she could extend her visit for a few days or something like that, but she knew that couldn't be done. She had to leave for Corellia very soon, and she couldn't just put her duty to the Order on hold, even for Morgan.
She squeezed the girl's shoulder."I don't want to leave...but...I h-have to."She then stood up and turned off the water, summoning towels for the both of them from off the rack, now unable to stop the tears from falling.

*Morgan felt the hand on her shoulder but made no reaction, only continuing to look into Terra's eyes and fight back sobs, shaking with each attempt. She could feel Terra's sadness too, which only gave Morgan her answer before Terra could speak at all. Sure enough, after a squeeze on the same shoulder that Terra had gripped earlier, Terra stamped the finality on the inevitable: She had to leave, even if she didn't want to.
Morgan's head hung even as Terra stood up to turn off the water and retrieve some towels. Morgan didn't even stand for a moment, sitting on the floor, sobbing and sniffling. Then, with a final sniffle, she sighed, lifted her head, and wiped her eyes with the back of her forearm before standing and taking the towel from Terra and drying off. There was nothing she could do, and they'd see each other again someday, so it wasn't like this was the last time they'd see each other.
She was still sad, yes, but she had to get over it. It wasn't easy, which was why she was taking her time in drying off, especially with her hair. There was still a sniffle or two, maybe a sob, but when she removed the towel and looked up, her expression, while clear that she'd just been crying, was as neutral as she could muster.*
Terra, do you have a hairbrush I could borrow?

Terra managed to keep from crying herself, even as she heard Morgan sobbing in the shower. She dried off quickly and wrapped the towel around herself as she waited for Morgan to exit the shower. Eventually the girl was able to compose herself and Terra had also taken the time to try and hold back her tears. This wasn't a permanent goodbye after all, as she would for sure return to Felucia someday, certainly as soon as possible. Whatever she had to do to get back here, she would do it.
She nodded."Yeah...hang on..."Holding the towel around herself, she walked into her room and rummaged around in one of her bags before recovering a hairbrush for Morgan to use, and she reentered the refresher."Here you go. I need it when you're done."She smiled and offered the brush to the girl.

*Morgan nodded and watched as Terra left the room to find the hairbrush, then returned with it to offer it to her, though added that she'd need it when Morgan was done. Her smile allowed Morgan to smile in return as she took the hairbrush, set the towel aside, then went to the sink. ... then climbed up onto the sink due to her small size and sat on the countertop, running the brush through her hair.
Each stroke of the brush seemed like counting down to when Terra would leave, but Morgan tried her best not to think about it. It was difficult, but she managed to put it out of her mind enough to simply get through the brushing without resorting to crying again. When she was finished, she turned and sat on the edge of the sink, letting her legs dangle over the side as she handed the brush back to Terra.*
Do... do you know how much time you have left?

Terra made sure she had dried off thoroughly while Morgan set about brushing her hair and she discarded her towel once she was satisfied that there were no more water droplets on her body. She smiled again when Morgan handed the brush back to her, but it faded quickly as she thought about how much time she had left. Probably not much, though the shuttle crew hadn't given her an exact time to departure, only saying that they would send a message to her datapad when they were ready, probably around the early evening hours.
She shrugged and sighed."Not really...they just told me sometime in the early evening. I...probably still have some time though."She started brushing her hair, trying to get the tangles out.

*Terra didn't know how much time left, only a general timeframe. Morgan wasn't sure what to make of that. She started chewing on the flesh of her left cheek again as she lightly kicked her feet against the sink. Probably not enough time to watch a holovid or anything. Wasn't a whole lot to do right now then... except...*
Maybe we can have a pillow fight or something...
*She giggled with a mischievous grin, and Terra should be able to understand the implications without her having to specify.*

Terra giggled and pretended to think about it for a moment before nodded.."Hm...OK. But I'm gonna win this time!"With a smile, she picked up her dress and started walking out of the refresher, setting her dress down next to her duffel bag. She then picked up one of her pillows and sat down on her bed, waiting for Morgan to come out and join her. This time, Terra would be the victor..
