Niall awoke with a start, his grey eyes opening wide. He could feel his heart hammering in his chest as adrenaline surged; thankfully, he was healed enough that this was not quite so concerning as it might have been. The surroundings were unfamiliar...
No. Wait. It was his room.
Taking a deep breath, Niall felt his heart rate slow. How many times would he wake up like this? How had his own room become so unfamiliar to him?
After a moment, he smiled, realizing the other reason his heart rate had slowed. A familiar scent. Slowly, he reached out towards the other side of the bed...

Looking over, there was a blonde heap opposite of him on the large bed. Her usual grace was absent, but her blue eyes were open, her lips pursed as she was looking at her husband.
Her hand accepted his own.

Heap or not, she was beautiful. Niall smiled as their hands found each other, his skin warm against hers. With all the time in their lives that they had to spend apart, he cherished every moment they had together. Like this.
"Good morning, love." Niall's voice was just the slightest bit raspy from disuse. "Did you sleep well?" His grey eyes traced over her, noting the pursed lips. "Have you been awake long?"

Aly shrugged. "Just a little bit. Around the time you awoke, I think." She smiled at him, though it was a tired smile. "Jedi senses, baby."
She stretched, though her hands still held his.

Niall took a breath as Aly stretched, eyes admiring. He sat up, abs visible flexing, to do a stretch of his own, likewise still holding her hand. "Of course." He murmured. "Jedi senses, forever allowing you to get one up on your husband." He flashed her a quick grin.
Squinting, he looked around the room; with his hair mussed, he had a slight resemblance to Jared Foekiller. It was the same room he'd had as a child, but as a very serious child, it was indistinguishable from an adult's room. Neat and orderly, dressers and bookshelves. A closet with his capes. "It's strange. I've spent so little time here the last fifteen years. I'm fairly certain the last time I'd spent more than a week here, you and I were sneaking away from the dinner table to play hide and seek."

"Of course." She smiled widely, and turned around, onto her stomach. Her eyes glistened as they settled on his abs.
She glanced around the room. "You know...a part of me thought your parents would give us a more proper wing after we're married." She smirked. "Though there's certainly some magic here." She smiled at him, slowly sitting up on the bed. She was clad only in an oversized T-shirt with Foekiller on it, quoting "With family, everything is possible".

"Yes. Fond memories. And new ones." Niall gave her a smile, one hand brushing up her bare leg... but only for a moment.
He shifted, putting his back against the headboard, awake, but not quite ready to leave bed, his hand finding hers again. "Yes, I rather thought so, too. But everything's been so busy. The attack, the war, my recovery, this business with the houses." Niall grimaced, some tension visible in his jaw, in his shoulders.
He glanced at Aly. "Would you like a wing? I'm sure I could make it happen. Design it ourselves, just for the two of us?"

"A wing? Sounds lovely, but also...permanent?" She scooted closer to him, her fingers tracing his latest scar, critical eyes checking its progress.
"Is that what you want to do? Move home?" Her blue eyes started sparkling. "Become a senator, perhaps?" She has expressed her thought on his political career multiple times now. Maybe one day it'll stick.

Niall held his breath as Aly's fingers traced his scar, on his chest, just below his old one. It wasn't as bad; a faint pink circle, steadily fading. Unlike his old one, which was a faint white mark over his heart, it might someday fade entirely.
"Permanent..." Niall echoed, smiling gently. "That is rather the sort of thing I had in mind. I mean, even if we're not always here, a home to go back to, well, it's a nice thought."
He grinned, leaning forward for a quick peck on the lips. "Hah. Senator Niall Organa?" He pursed his lips, considering silently for a few moments. "What about Senator Alysele Organa?"

Aly's face....didn't fall exactly, but she did seem to start staring away. "Maybe. Well, having a home here would be nice. As for senatorship..." she let out a long sigh. "I don't know if I'm ready for that major of a break with the Order. What happened..." she shook her head. "Was wrong. Doesn't mean me storming away is the adult and correct answer." She smiled at him, and leaned up to give him a peck. "Marrying you was, of course, the correct choice. But the rest...is more complicated. You, on the other hand, could do a lot of good on the Senate floor without being shot at."

Carefully, Niall nodded. "I understand." He said. Soothingly, he ran his hand up and down Aly's back, fingers stroking through the fabric of the oversized t-shirt.
His own gaze went distant, his hand still moving along Aly's back. "I would prefer not getting shot." He said wryly. Then he sighed. "There's just so much still to do. No doubt we have to prepare for the next war."
Niall frowned thoughtfully. "But Vera may be ready to handle it. Captain Vera, now. She tried to play it cool, but I think she was impressed." A quick smile, and then back to a thoughtful frown. "Senator... may be where I can do the most good. I'm not sure." He took a deep breath, broad shoulders rising and falling, as he considered.

"A senator in a cape..." she smirked, a cat-like smile. "There's a picture for the next senate calendar, I am sure." He giggled, then placed a small kiss on his chest, enjoying his warmth.
"She certainly deserved it. I am sure she'll go far. If she can stop herself punching the quartermaster." She recalled the incident. Not that Vera was wrong in her opinion, but the expression of that opinion...not a favored military approach.
"I am sure you would. Most Senators are quite removed from the people, but you are..not. You would look out more for the people of the Republic, and those outside of it. And your military career would not hurt, either."

Niall murmured pleasantly, taking a breath as Aly kissed his chest. "Mmm, just a cape? That's something we could discuss..." His arm settled around her shoulders, briefly squeezing her against him. Seemingly through healing, Niall was definitely more muscular than he'd been even five years ago.
"As a senator should." Niall frowned thoughtfully"And the chance to help guide Alderaan... we've been through a lot, as a people, as a planet. Two Sith invasions in as many decades. I remember both of them." Grimacing, he pulled Aly a little closer, comfort for both of them.
Tilting his head, he looked at her. "If it happened... could I give you a position, at least? Chief of Staff, or something? If that's too uncomfortable that's fine," Niall gave her a comforting nudge, "-but I could use your official support as well as unofficial."

Aly fell silent. "I would prefer not to." She smiled at him sweetly. "I would prefer to be my own woman, you know. I'll support you, and join you at any relevant functions, but...as much as I push you to do this, YOU need to do this, if you want it to work." The blonde Alderaani has indeed changed, it seems. At least, compared to her younger self. "Yeah, this poor planet, our home...The wars have taken their toll. Or is it only one war?" She shrugged. "It is difficult to tell, truly."

Niall smiled. "I do know. And I understand. It will be enough." He pursed his lips, considering. "Well. It's not something to be decided before breakfast, anyway. And certainly not before kaf."
He sighed. "Good question. We might count it as two, or more. The Sith might count it as one, with the time in-between invasions as a mere interlude." He shook his head, tension returning. "We can't let it happen again. Not a third time."

"True....but then, we would have to get out of bed." She reached up to nibble at his ear. "Mhm...stupid sith and their stupid maths." She murmured into his ear.

The nibble got Niall's attention; his pleased murmur was a little louder than before. "Well, if my beautiful wife wants to stay in bed a bit longer, who am I to object?" He turned to face her, bringing his lips to hers. No longer a peck, this kiss was firmer, more lingering.
He pulled back, his grey eyes glinting as they met her blue. "I can hardly believe our first anniversary is in just a few days. It feels like it was just yesterday that we were married." His smile grew. "We shall have to do something special for that, won't we?"

Aly's lips were eager to meet his, her form melting into his. She was careful around his scars, but in general, hugged him fiercely.
"True...it seems like it was both yesterday and an eon ago." She smiled fondly. "Oh? Have you had something in mind?"

"Hmmm..." Niall's grey eyes went distant, even as his hands settled on Aly's waist, warm and strong. "I have rather a lot in mind, actually. The challenge is pairing down the list. What to do, what to do..."
He tilted his face towards hers, grey eyes glinting again. "I should like to spend some time at the Festival together, certainly. But then, Galactic Commando Nine is available now, you know." His smile grew. "And after that, well, perhaps something in line with my last birthday? That was a rather enjoyable night."

"Oh? Well, we can do all of them. It is our anniversary, after all." She leaned into him, her fingers gently tickling his side. "The Festival for sure. This one is pretty significant, and I'd rather keep an eye out and see who is going to marry the twins. Would prefer to have the planet in safe and sane hands, you know."
She gave him another peck. "Hm, well...GC9 for sure, we can check it out as a date. As for your birthday...."her eyes twinkled. "I am sure we still have the costumes lying around...somewhere." She let out a low, throaty laugh.
