A Commen Gratitude Shared

Darben Skirae was unsure at first if he should. But, when he thought about it...he never had thanked [member="Rex Taff"]. He stopped off in the markets, where he waited patiently. He had let Rex know where he could find Darben. He hadn't brought Renla along however, but had let [member="Stardust Bloodstone"] know that he had gone out for the day. Renla still needed time to grieve.

In a hand he had a fruit which he had not taken a single bite out of. For inside, he was grieving as well.

Rex was busy in one of the CIS labs building another special Rakghoul droid much like his one Crow. He had already made 7 and he was just finishing this one up, he wasn't sure who to give them to at all. While working on it he actually thought about [member="Darben Skirae"] and realized he hadn't heard anything from the man since the bank robbery. Maybe he could give this one to him as an apology gift of not saving Mia. In any case he would need to figure out were darben was if he ever wanted to see the man again. Finishing it up, he painted it blue for the CSA and set to a holo recording he had of darben's voice. It would only listen to Darben and no one else. Sighing "Well Crow now we need to find Darben."
 
Darben remained by the stall. That was till he caught sight of...something rather peculiar. An odd looking droid, and someone familiar by it...Yes, it was [member="Rex Taff"]. But as he saw them, he realized he had no idea how to approach. Plus the droid looked rather menacing, even with being painted blue. So he just kind of stood there, watching them from by the stall. Just thinking over what he was even going to say once Rex and the droid thing reached him.

Wandering with the random streets of a random town, Rex was wondering if he would ever find [member="Darben Skirae"]. Wandering with the two rakghoul droids, the one he had named Crow, painted silver and purple, the one he had prepard for darben. He wasn't sure what he would find on this backwater planet but one of the perks of being the head of science of the CIS was that one could have informants. One had tipped him off that Darben had been seen on this planat in this town. He knew the locals would be scared at the sight of the droids, so he had set them both in friendly mode. So of the more brave children were playing with the droids, he laughed at the children playing with them. Both of them acting like very friendly dogs.
 
Darben kept his gaze on them. And noticed it was in fact two droids with [member="Rex Taff"]. And...they were acting like dogs? Some children played with them, and he felt a bit more comforted despite their looks. Huffing, he stopped leaning against the stall in the marketplace and started moving through the crowd towards them. "I...uh hi..." He mentally facepalmed himself. "I...I wanted to thank you...for all you did in the...you know, the thing." Just mentioning the thing was making it a bit hard to thank Rex, as every time he thought about it he thought he might breakdown right there on the spot.

Looking up he sees [member="Darben Skirae"] coming towards him. He said hi and then tried thanking Rex for saving him from the bank robbers. Rex even with his smallish amount of force empathy could tell the man was going to break mentioning it. So Rex went up hugged darben and said "Come on lets go some where, out of sight where we can discuss it." Turning back to the droids and the children, he said "Now crow, make sure you and your friend play nice with the kids okay?" He was making it out to be a big deal, when really both droids would do whatever he said. Continuing to be friendly and playful as he walked darben to a cafe and sat down.

"I'm sorry I came to find you darben but I felt like you deserve an apology about mia, what happened to her, it shouldn't have, she was my comarde and I swore when I left the chiss I wouldn't allow an ally or comrade fall if I could do something about it." Rex was in tears "I am sorry darben I wish I could have done something more, to help, to do anything. But I couldn't even find you or star for the past month." He looks a darben tears in his eyes "I failed you, I failed mia and I failed myself."
 
Darben Skirae gave him a slightly confused look, then nodded. This would be something to speak of not in public. At least not in the middle of the crowd. He sat down where [member="Rex Taff"] led him...then was utmostly surprised. As Rex went into tears, Darben did too. They seemed to break into tears at the same. "Rex..." he tried to say in between as Rex continued to apologize. "Rex, I-" Then Rex said he had failed them. "Rex! You failed no one!"

He was shocked at himself, for having gone that far. He collected himself, with a tired sigh. "She knew that it could happen...it was her job to try to save me. No one could have...could have known that would happen...I messaged you to thank you, not end up with both of us sobbing...okay?"

Rex looks at [member="Darben Skirae"] still in tears. "I know she knew her job, but I made a promise to myself not to let anyone die on my watch." He couldn't stop himself yet "But I still failed myself and you Darben, I let someone die." Stopping himself for a second to be less hysterical "I told myself I wouldn't not only that but I let some who was important to someone close to me died, and then I nearly killed the person holding you prisoner." Looking at the ground "I nearly gave in to blinding rage all because someone died, that is how I failed you." Final saying "I am sorry Darben but I will always feel like I failed you and myself that day and for that I will never forget and use it as an example so I will not fall." Then looking back at the crowd of people still around the droids sighing. That is when a waiter came up and asked for there orders "Can I please have a tea and a cake, I assume you Darben will take a coffee with milk and a cafe to?" After Darben had said his part to the waiter, Rex would turn back and ask "So how is Renla handling it, I know she was close with Mia?" Waiting for Darben to speak he would whistle the droids over again.
 
Darben Skirae sighed, still trying to hold himself together. He looked over to the pair of dog-like droids playing with the kids to take his mind off of [member="Rex Taff"]'s crying. He waited until Rex was done, then shook his head. "No one could have seen what happened coming. No one could have seen her death. You should need to stay strong, and I mean no offense but can't is gonna get you nowhere. Got it?" he asked to the other. Of course with the aggression part, he knew little of the force and what that could do to someone.

He nodded to the waiter. Then the subject turned to Renla. "She is doing well...Star had a good talk with her, at least I assume so. She saw Mia like an older sister..." And Mia at times had turned out to be a great drinking buddy. Now he was stuck with drinking alone.

Rex looks at [member="Darben Skirae"] unsure what to do about the previous comments. Before finally say "Got it." Then listening some more. "It is good to hear she is doing well, if you ever need help you only need ask." Waiting for the droids to get closer he noticed the group of people had gone back about there daily business fair enough

Then looking as the droids got closer, "Which reminds me, meet my droid companion Crow," he said pointing to the silver and purple droid next to him. "and this one is for you Darben" He said pointing to the other droid painted blue. "I want you to have it." Looking at darben "As you saw it is good with kids as well as can attack a target on command." Then looking at the droid "I thought you might have need of it due to the fact you no longer have a bodyguard." "I have already programmed it with your voice imprint, say it is yours and it will listen to and only you."

Then the waiter returned with their food and drink. "Thank you very much." "Which also reminds me I have also joined with the CIS since you left, I hope you are not disappointed."
 
Darben nodded to him. Then he turned his heads to the droids, which once more looked rather menacing. And then he looked to [member="Rex Taff"], his eyes darting to him and wide with surprise. "Wait...that?" he asked, pointing at it. He was...quite unsure. He did guess that Renla had wanted a pet, but something like this was a bit...much. Then again, Darben was also not one to turn down a gift. "A..All right." He turned in his seat, faced the droid, and spoke...

"Hey there...droid...guess you're mine now. I'll call you..." He glanced up at Rex, then back to the droid with a grin. "Rexy." It was of course more of a joke at first, but immediately the name seemed to set into his mind, it seemed to fit. The waiter came and Darben slowly ate away at his cake. He wished already he could switch out his coffee for a more alcoholic drink, for his nerves. But coffee would do...for now. "I'm not, I don't know much about them any way." Why would he be disappointed?

Rex smiled at the use of his name, when [member="Darben Skirae"] had named the droid. "Rexy will follow your orders now, a rather fitting name for him I think." He wasn't surprised that Darben had no idea who they were. "All good then, well I will let you know I have taken a high position within the CIS."

"In which I have worked with a lot of people and I get to look after the droid and whatnot it is quite fun." Then eating some of the food and taking a drink he said "If Rexy ever needs to be fixed just send me a message I will come and look over him" Looking down at the Rakghoul Droid. Then he asks "So why are you here on this planet anyway?" He might as well ask about the reasoning anyway.
 
Darben Skirae drank some of the coffee as [member="Rex Taff"] talked about the CIS and the droid. Once Rex was done with that, Darben almost choked on the drink at the question. That he had preferred to keep secret. So he did what he did when wanting to avoid something... "So the CIS...what they like? Maybe could set up trade or something?" He put a smile up, a sort of facade. The subject he was avoiding, something he wished to avoid.

Rex was watching [member="Darben Skirae"] and used force empathy to feel that Darben didn't want to talk about it. Everyone has something they don't want to talk about that is something I can understand myself. Hiding himself in the force again after checking it, he went along with the line of questioning.

"The CIS would definitely open for a trade to the CSA, we are run by a Sith Lord however we are an organisation that is for the people. That is my job actually to look after the planets in our care as well as improve the technology within the CIS." Looking at Darben "If you wish to open a trade agreement with them I would more than happy to be present and help your case. But that is up to the CSA. If you can get Kay's permission, I can bring my leaders to the table." Eating some more cake and drinking some more tea. "But it is up to you?"
 
Darben felt good to know this had changed away from the topic of the heist. "Yes, that would be good. Lady Kay trusts me enough to get meetings underway, I can get it done" he said, taking another drink of his coffee. It seemed that his drinking habits had passed to any drink as it was soon gone. He held the cup of...well, nothing now up, and tipped it to look inside. "I need to slow down" he muttered to himself, then got to eating the rest of the cake.

"Very well then when do you want to meet them?" Rex asked [member="Darben Skirae"] finishing off the last of his own cake and tea. "Don't worry about security or anything like that when we go, I will make sure you are able to enter and leave safely." Calling the waiter back so he could get the bill. Waiting for Darben to answer the question.
 
Darben shrugged. Anytime at all he guessed would work for him. The Minister guessed however that it would in fact be when he returned to CSA territory. One day he would end up doing so, yes he would go back certainly. "Once I arrive back to Commenor I can organize a meeting then." He put a hand out, expecting a handshake. Then after that, he would be off.

Rex paid for the food and drink, not thinking about it to much. [member="Darben Skirae"] said once he got back to CSA space. "Very well Darben, I expect a message from you as soon as you are able." Giving Darben a handshake, he says "Don't forget your Droid." Then walking away he would say "Come on Crow we don't have all day" and the droid would bound after it's master as they wandered back to where they had parked the ship they had used to get here.
