Time: A few days after the conclusion of this thread.
He needed a drink, not to get drunk, but a drink. Maybe two. Not only were the negation field's effects amplified, compared to his first visit all those years ago, but the reason for his setting foot on the ysalimiri homeworld for only the second time in his more than forty years squeezed a dull ache into his heart he had believed himself to be done with. It made him a tad queasy, a mite subdued, which led to nursing an ale in silence while pouring over the memory of the day he had met his now-late wife, and how it had went. It was a humour piece, and the fond remembrance could manage to lift his spirits.
He fished a trinket out of his pocket, two halves made whole in pursuit of the gun he was so rarely seen without. It was that pursuit that had brought them together, and introduced him to the family, the clan to which he was bonded, whose name he carried, to his last day and... Force permitting, beyond. He turned the trinket over and over in his hand, reclining in the chair, ale within reach; he couldn't bring himself to separate the two halves. Though they had long-since served their purpose, apart they would still call to one another. Together, they would always pull the bearer in the direction of the Lonesome Gun he wore at his side.
There was no telling where Rekali would go next, but the decision had been made to part ways with their lands in the territory of the United Clans, the sale of the moon that was the clan seat having been completed while he was en route to Myrkr. What happened with the academy, the ports... was of little concern to him now, but word had it the jungle moon was in the hands of neither Jedi, nor Sith, nor Mandalorian.
His private clan home had always been on Dathomir, anyway, but it would be seeing less of him. Now he would more than likely be going with the interstellar winds, wherever his niece lead. A phase of life ended, another began. What shape it might take was a mystery, but he had never feared the unknown.
He wasn't about to start.
