First Reply Hiking through Emotions

Dantooine was known to be a peaceful, farmland world, having some ties to the Jedi in the past but none that were present. Lily thought it would be a good spot to enjoy some time away from the High Republic, wander through the rolling hills and take in some fresh air. It was a good chance to see how things work on the far opposite side of the galaxy and a location free from faction ties, at least for now. A chance to let her thoughts wander and if she felt the desire, even go explore ruins that were tied to the Jedi. See how things were thousands of years ago. Lily was enjoying the crisp morning air, it was warm due to the late spring climate but there was still a slight chill from the breeze that didn't make things feel too humid currently. Her hike was going well, it was several miles at this point. She wasn't working too much of a sweat but seeing the green hills and the noise of animals roaming around.

There was a sense of idyllic-ness to it all.

Adjusting to being newly single was not as easy as Lily thought it would be. She was feeling a new loneliness that wasn't something that the Echani had thought about until now. Lily had never thought that she was someone that would crave the comfort of having someone around all the time, but not having that now. Lily could understand more why people jumped from one relationship straight into the next one. There was an addicting sense of needing to be loved. "Really demonstrates how much mother loved father if she never moved on after all these years, I suppose..." Lily thought aloud to herself as she continued walking.

Then she paused and looked around, figuring out where she was.

"Hmmm... This is bad... Really should have brought a map or something with me... Was the town that way...?" Lily paused, pursing her lips as she struggled to remember which direction she needed to head back in. One would have assumed a straight line, but Lily knew for certain that she didn't walk in a straight line to get where she was. "Really let myself get distracted on this one." She sighed, clearly her thoughts were overwhelming everything else out as she frowned to herself and crossed her arms over her chest.

No, she could work this out. Right? She could get back to her ship... Right?

Dantooine. An unremarkable planet out in the middle of this vast galaxy. Good for farmland but not much else. Not to mention a neutral world so to speak. Well at least neutral enough to Irulan and that of Sikarra. Irulan had come here to begin personally scoping out the planet in hopes of what possible operations could she set up here. The vast rolling hills and valleys of Dantooine could do with a possible outpost out here. Where Sikarran smugglers can operate from if need be. But to properly survey the planet, Irulan would need to head out to the more remote areas and not stick to the towns and villages.

Irulan along with two servants had elected to go on a small trek out into the outer edges of the town they were staying at. Her servants of course were carrying the necessary supplies and Irulan herself was holding a small scanner to begin mapping out the local area. On the scanner, green dots marked points of possible outpost locations while red spots marked unoptimal ones. In truth Irulan had been so engossed in this data collecing that she did not hear her servants call out to her.

With a perhaps ungraceful and comedic timing, she bumped into the Echani woman causing herself to fall onto the floor. The scanner fell out of her hand and Irulan's servants rushed to her. "Highness! Are you alright?" one of them asked.

Irulan brushed herself off, simply nodding "Yes..I am. Ugh this dress though is dirty unfortunately." Then she turned to Lily. giving a small smile at the woman. "My sincere apologies. clumsy me." she said in an elegant tone.​

Lily was scanning the horizons around here, trying to see what looked familiar and where the settlement could be. She hadn't walked far enough to have it disappear from her sight, though with the hills and the aimless wandering. It could have very possibly hidden itself behind a hill that Lily had climbed over. Tapping her foot a little nervously, she felt someone bumping into her and blinked in surprise since she hadn't expected to walk by anyone out here. It was fairly remote and certainly an easy location to get lost.

"Highness?" Lily muttered to herself, even more strange for there to be nobility to be out this way, but seeing the dress not suited for hiking and the way that this royalty spoke and held herself, Lily was not unsurprised that this was someone of royalty. But it was surprising to see them out here. "It is all okay, I am sorry to hear about your dress though. I did not know that Dantooine had royalty?"

The Echani was falsely assuming that any royalty out here would be native to the world, it seemed far to random a setting for an off-world royal family member to come visit. "Lily Decoria, pleasure to meet you." Lily gave a small bow as she politely introduced herself to the other woman. Offering a polite but warm smile to her lips.

Irulan looked at the Echani woman up and down for a moment as if she was examining her. Her analytical mind racing to try and find any identifying marker to an organization or a faction. But no..nothing. Just an outfit meant for the outdoors. Irulan did relax slightly, as she gave a small smile at the apology. At least the other person was kind enough to offer an apology. She then would give a dismissive wave at the comment about Dantooine having royalty.

"As far as I know, this planet has no royalty. No I am from Sikarra. A trading world. I came here to see if I can forge a trade relation with a couple of towns on this planet. Unfortunately the town I am staying at needs more time to reach a decision. They suggested I go on an exploration of the outskirts, until they reach one. Which..." Irulan gestures to the wilderness "This planet is much more verdant and green compared to my home world."

It was a little white lie. Sure Irulan did talk to the various locals about trading and such But her true purpose was looking for a spot to construct a smuggler's outpost for her spice trade. Alas, seems such a thing is temporarily paused now that someone else is out here in the periphery of civilization. "Princess Irulan Al-Zahir, Heriess ti the Queendom of Sikarra. A pleasure to meet you Miss Lily, Are you by chance a nature lover? Judging by your outfit, you came here equipped to handle this better than I."​
