Keshani, Nightshade, Trax: Parting Ways?

[Keshani]

Kesh drew back for a second, cursing under her breath. She had had a feeling before - the way he had spoken about her the few times he had before and because of how he reacted to her, but this is the first time he had actually acknowledged of her that she was dead.

"Was she anything like me?" She asked simply

[Trax]

"Based on first impressions, yeah."

[Nightshade]

Nightshade slowly shimmered back into view standing a few feet in front of the group.  He bowed to all present before asking Trax, " Do your plans take you to Karvis in the near future?"

[Trax]

Nightshade's sudden appearance startled Trax.

Geez, wear a bell or something would ya.

"After a stop on Alderaan it does.  Something you think I can help you with?"

[Collan]

It was at this moment Collan joined the comversation.

"Be careful with Karvis. It'd be wise to use disguises. Having had Ch'lana with us places us all on Karvis. The Imperials will be all over it; I doubt my father is stupid so that's where he'll look for me first. Anyone who is my known associate could be in danger."

"Keshani...could I talk with you a minute?"

[Keshani]

Keshani couldn't quite keep the annoyance out of her voice or expression as she slowly turned in the direction of Collan's voice. She was NOT done with her conversation with Trax and all of the sudden the area had gotten WAY too crowded.

She sighed.

"Sure." She said, throwing Trax a look that was pleading to continue this conversation later. It was something she needed to do....

[Collan]

"I'll make this quick, but I wanted to invite you to come with me. I'm going with General Kota to reassemble his militia. Even if you don't to stay with the Allianc me or join formally. We'll be at the Outer and Mid Rim so there's plenty of good places where you could disappear with little Imperial presence."

[Keshani]

She looked confused. "Thanks, but what good would I be in helping to form a militia?"

[Collan]

"It's special operations. We need tech and special weapons," Collan patted his blaster pistol, "Which you are very good at. Your improvised grenades saved us."

[Keshani]

She blushed a bit at that but looked uncomfortable at the complement as well. "Thanks..."

"I'm not sure what I want to do or should do. I'm not so sure I'd be very good at being around lots of people...."

[Collan]

"I know," Collan said, giving her a soft smile, "I wanted to give you that option though. It won't be many of us on the ship. General Kota. Juno. Me. Maybe Niil. It's a small ship. It also have some cool tech that you could look at too."

[Keshani]

It was clear the girl felt very torn and distressed over what she should do. In fact, it occurred to her that she had never really had to make ANY decision about anything long term before - it had always been pretty day-to-day and she was comfortable that way. If truth be told, this idea of committing to something terrified the hell out of the girl and made her feel just as trapped as any cell ever had. She felt her stress level rising and could feel her chest getting a bit tight.

"Um. Maybe...," she said lamely. "I...uh...need to go. I....need the 'Fresher". For, suddenly the feeling of needing to vomit arose and she felt like she needed to escape, suddenly finding herself wishing desperately that someone would just offer her one choice of what to do instead of the seemingly endless string of options....

She fled, more than anything else, away from the others, looking for someplace "safe" to sit and calm down.

[Nightshade]

"I must go to Karvis to resolve a matter of honor.  It seemed wise to travel together if our paths aligned as you may have knowledge of the resistance that would help me.  Of course I am willing to compensate you for this or return favor for favor."

[Trax]

"I already owe you." Trax began.

"I'll do what I can and hope it's enough to repay you."

[Nightshade]

Bowing again, Nightshade replied, "I cannot return to my clan if I cannot find a way to absolve myself of the obligation to the royal family of Karvis.  If you can help make that happen, then I will be in your debt."
