Ben was far too busy running his hands over the new expanse of skin, murmuring nonsensical endearments into her ear, than to notice anything less than the entire forest coming down around them.

Which, well, they were close to doing.

Or a couple of trees, at least.

It was really too bad Tahiri's attention was completely focused on kissing a trail along Ben's jaw -- the part of it that wasn't too busy going crazy about his breath against her ear, anyway.

Which was why she wasn't paying any attention to her danger sense, or she'd have realized one of the trees was crashing down on just the right trajectory to --

She didn't have enough reaction time to be indignant at the the circumstances, unfortunately.

Ben had time for a strangled little "ack!" before the tree came crashing onto them.

Tahiri was going to be both very, very annoyed and very relieved about this later.

Right now, though, she was a little too, oh, unconscious to be either.

"Tahiri?" Ben asked blearily, groaning as he opened his eyes a few minutes later.

It took a few seconds longer before Tahiri stirred and let out a tiny groan of her own, though she didn't open her eyes yet.

"Who hit me with an asteroid?"

"I did," he said, blushing furiously. "Or we did? There was a tree."

"Figures." Now she opened her eyes and glanced around; the clearing was kind of a mess now. "Oh, Sithspit, did we do all that?"

Any second now their relative state of undress would catch up to her. Really.

"Yeah," Ben said. "Are you okay?"

"My head hurts a little, but I'll be fine. Stupid trees. And a picnic sounded like such a good idea," she grumbled. Not that they'd touched the food. Tahiri reached out to touch Ben's cheek. "You're okay too, right?"

"I'm going to have a lump on my head the size of a small forest moon, but I'm mostly just embarrassed," he said, looking into her eyes. "You're sure you're okay?" His hands slid down her arms to check for himself.

His eyes were so fascinating. "I'm here. You're here. We're both --" Not fully clothed at the moment. Shh. "Still alive. I'm sure, I really am."

He gave the tree a good Force-shove out of their way and bit down on his lip--hard--as the headache that gave him threatened to take the back of his skull off.

"You better be okay," Tahiri said instantly, noticing his reaction. And now that the tree was out of the way she could sit up again -- which, ow. That hurt too.

"Just not a good idea to use the Force right then," he admitted with a tiny wince as he sat up as well. "Well. That was...different."

Tahiri leaned over to kiss his forehead. "No kidding. Um . . ." She glanced down at her jumpsuit and started to button it back up. "It was nice? Until the tree."
