Private A Peaceful Stroll (Ask)

Tags: Kalic Daws Kalic Daws
Location: Orellon II, Karlish Hangar

The capital city itself was bustling with civilization as usual. A sea of faces that stretched as far as the eye could see, and the whines of repulsor engines reverberated the streets. It was a pleasant enough day so far, or days in Rath’s case. Ever since his service in the Eternal Empire expired, Rath practically took a vacation of sorts. At least, that’s what Rath put down as his reason for not staying with the military, when in reality Rath felt like he must reach out further than the Empire is willing to find the long lost Warden Knight, Ta’kir Glimmer. So far they’ve either been chasing trails or coming no closer to the answer than they started.

Garbed in a dark leather jacket with a long-sleeved white shirt underneath it. Rath’s steps on the ceramasteel flooring were light despite the boots that he wore, and what was he doing? Simple, he was grocery shopping. Why? To replenish the pantry on his ship for the trip he was planning to make. Orellon II was perhaps the last planet that the Eternal Empire influenced while Rath intended to go outside of the Empire’s domain. Everything seemed to be so simple, for Rath developed plans of how to go about it and so far the plans have been coming along pleasantly. The only downside was that Rath had to forsake his armor and rifle, but was able to keep the sword and the signature Ace of Spades that Rath tends to favor.

The blaster remains holstered at his left thigh as the young man picks up a muja fruit with one hand. His yellow eyes linger on the fruit as a memory recalled of how he used to consider muja sauce to be like a dessert when Rath was a child. Granted Rath knew to focus on the essential foods to sustain himself for months. However he didn’t see the harm of allowing small luxuries in the mix as well. To most people, Rath appeared to be an ordinary traveler. Neither of his clothes held symbols of the Eternal Empire, and frankly Rath would be surprised if anyone recognized him since Rath was never dispatched to Orellon II before. However, the Force tends to thrive in chaos and interject a new variable, or rather a new encounter of the unexpected.

As Rath puts the bundle of fruit into his basket, he could hear the voice of a child close to his vicinity. A young zabrak boy with his parents was looking over the meat department. Both of the parents appeared to be in distress as they were debating if the price was worth the meal. Budgeting money always was a pain, even in the military since the personnel had to be at least an officer in order to live comfortably with themselves. Still the scene brought Rath’s attention to the next thing on his list, and frankly he found himself a bit stressed after viewing the prices just to get something decent.

”The prices are a bit high around here… must be either running low on supplies or maybe they increased the price to gain a bit more profit out of it.” Rath muttered to himself as he restrained a sigh.
 
Kalic must have been out of his alchemized mind! He was in the capital. The Eternal Empire capital. Why was he there... he didn't know. It was yet another vision that lead him here. Yes, Loreena Arenais-Valhoun Loreena Arenais-Valhoun had said it was probably best to not worry about them as much, and Vidalu Na'an Vidalu Na'an might not be too happy of him chasing these down when he didn't really understand what was in the vision, but he couldn't just ignore them, especially when for once they gave him something to work with. He just knew something would be happening here soon. With him was Jee, who continued to remind her friend that this was a bad idea.

"I know, Jee, I know. But.... I just need to be hear for something." The droid gave an annoyed whistle as she followed. For Kalic's part, he was wearing a cloak and carrying in an attempt to hide who he was. If he just looked like a blind guy, people might ignore him. Now though, he just kept walking.

Things were coming along swimmingly despite the small hiccups in prices. Rath got what he needed to sustain himself, but as he finished paying for the food. Rath felt a distinct presence in the Force. At first he thought that maybe a Black watch Operator was nearby, or perhaps it was just a civilian that was unknowingly sensitive to the Force. It happened from time to time, but just when Rath was about to dismiss it. The presence had a sense of familiarity. A familiarity that Rath had not sensed since the time when the rebels attacked one of the Empire's shipyards. His expression remained unchanged, but he honestly hoped that presence didn't pick up on his.

Rath took a deep breath as he cloaks his presence in the Force with the others. If the rebellion was going to launch some attack on the capital, then Rath was severely underpowered as the only weapon he had was the pistol. Not so much in terms of armor like he usually wore in the military. Even the typical uniform had armorweave to protect the body, but Rath wasn't so fortunate. He gathered his food in the bag before he walks out of the streets. Sure most enemies Rath had faced in the field only saw him with a helmet on, but this guy didn't see the world like normal people did. Honestly Rath wasn't sure if cloaking his presence was enough to avoid Miraluka's eyesight.

Yet no sooner had Rath stepped out of the store, his eyes found it's way over to a hooded figure. Sort of hunched over and all things considered to be blind from how the guy was walking. Rath's mind came to a number of things, reporting it to the closest authority, dropping an anonymous tip to an officer, or to straight up confront the rebel about a potential attack. However, from how crowded it was, an open conflict no matter how he went about it would potentially hurt people caught in the cross-fire. Still, he had to make sure.

Rath weaved through the crowd of people, and it wasn't until he was pretty close to Kalic before Rath purposefully revealed himself to the Miraluka as he spoke.

"Need help getting somewhere sir?" Rath asks, maintaining Kalic's persona of a blind man, and at the same time Rath catches a whiff of something foul. It was faint, but it was there. Rath chose not to point it out, or at least not just yet. Of course he notes the droid next to Kalic which more than likely would be able to see him approaching them. However he chose not to really hide himself too much.
 
Kalic stopped when he heard the voice. He could see who they were, and he could barely spot their force alignment. Great.... It was him. He looked over, and Jee soon let out an angry flurry of Binary. Kalic would just raise his hand, making the droid stop, if begrudgingly. He looked over at Rath, still keeping up his blind persona. He didn't know how much he should say, but he figured he also wasn't being captured yet.

"I honestly don't know. I just know I'm supposed to be in here." He wasn't really lying either. All he knew was something would happen here. Just not what.

The droid understandably spewed a series of angry beeps at Rath’s approach. Granted he never revealed his face to them, but Rath’s presence from the corruption in his eyes to the sinister aura in the force that resides within him. Kalic however, raised a hand to hold his droid back to some degree. He answered that he was mysteriously drawn here, and Rath honestly couldn’t fathom as to why. The Force can be an unpredictable force that often drops whisper to lure sensitive people to the wrong place.

“Is that right? Well try not to wander in the middle of the streets. Some of these people won’t bat an eye if they knocked you over.” Rath advised as he really wasn’t lying about that. Very few people would even stop to toss loose credits to those who beg for food and clothes. Much less for the elderly folk. Well, in Kalic’s case he wasn’t so elderly, but Rath wasn’t going to spoil that bit. His voice lowers to almost a whisper to Kalic.

“Be wary when the Force pulls on you. Sometimes it lands you in far more trouble than it’s worth.” Being drawn by the Force was something Rath heavily frowned upon. It was that churning energy of chaos that continued to fester throughout the galaxy for a millennia. The young man wasn’t sure how sensitive Kalic really was, but if anything Rath advised for the Miraluka to tread carefully when it came to the Force.
