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.
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.
"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.
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.
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."
Which, well, they were close to doing.

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

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