Eshan was home and Lily was resisting the call to home for now, she knew that inevitably that she was returning to Eshan at some point. It was too familiar, too much of a safe place where Lily would bounce immediately back into action and try to just find a routine of some kind. For now, Lily wanted to roam, do things that she felt was not appropriate for a Battle Master. Jedha felt a good place for Lily to start her journey, there was Jedi history ties, likely to be some potential Sith Covenants who strayed away from their territory and a chance to just help people seeking ways to better their lives.

Lily was in a new attire, something that strayed from her old Jedi look, reflected the more nomadic life that she was seeing in her future if she was going to do any further work as a Jedi. But also, maintain the look and style that Lily felt harkened back to her Echani roots. The sleeveless cloak pooled against the Jedha sands as Lily crouched down and touched a spot on a pillar that felt heavy in the Force. Psychometry was not something that Lily was particularly skilled in but something drew her in closer as she touched her fingers against the pillar and closed her eyes. For a long moment, there was nothing and then she felt it. Fear, death and screams of anguish. Something terrible had happened nearby and people had fled this way.

Rising to her full height once again, the silver eyes of the Echani scanned around the horizon. The memories were faded but she was not sure how long ago it was that they were formed, it could have been years, could have been hours. "They were heading that way though... That much I can tell..." Lily muttered to herself as she walked. Her thoughts lingered on the fact that she was no longer a Jedi of the Jedi Order, no longer on the council, no longer the Battle Master that she had loved to be. Now she was simply Lily. Lily Decoria, wanderer. Was that truly enough for her now?

There had to be more that she could do. Perhaps just finding people, helping them around the galaxy and roaming the borders of Sith territory to be a nuisance, that was all she needed to be?

 

[Tibera Jessen]

Dust, rock, and frigid cold, that's all Jedah was to Tibera. She wasn't a Jedi, and she didn't find this dustball to be particularly sacred. But, Jedah was a hotbed of activity as of late. Small sects of Sith and Jedi were always squabbling, leaving good people in the crossfire. Good people whose pockets were deep enough to pay for the right kind of protection.

Trouble was, there was little to know organization when it came to the forces on the planet. Tibera has found herself patrolling through a winding path between two villages. Tucked under her chest was a slugthrower, an obvious mark she was some kind of thug.

"What a day, nothing but sun and sand for kilometers around. Pretty sure any Sith around here would die of boredom." She lifted her rifle up, resting it on her shoulder as she continued her route. "Fething Hell, gotta stop for some water soon."

Cold and dry, it was no better than chitholes like Tatooine. Couldn't walk one klick without feeling that relentless sun beating down on you. Only good thing was the cool conditions meant you were being freezedried rather than broiled in your own armor. A quite literally cold comfort...

Tibera sat down on her helmet, flicking a hand through her hair. A flask came out of her hip pouch, letting her sip some wine as she looked over the dunes. Just then, she could barely make out something.

"I'll be blasted," Tibera said, squinting at the tiny dot moving against the skyline. "Looks like someone is actually coming out here!" No telling what they wanted though, not until they got closer.
