"Right now though? Valery's probably off dancing with her husband in there. I'm sure you'll be able to find them easily enough, unless you want to wait for things to die down."

Phobos took the words of Reina and held them in high regard as exact instructions. She sat outside the place where the makeshift dance floor had been prepared, just like had been suggested to her. She didn't want to barge in and interrupt Valery Noble's evening, so waiting for everything to wind down seemed like the most appropriate thing to do.

The Ashspawn had drawn her hood back up to hide her flame. She'd reveal it in time, but she didn't want to spook anyone leaving this party. Surely a stranger with a fire on her head was weird, even as Reina had assured that she didn't look that scary. If she could reach some sort of understanding with this rebel group's leadership, maybe she could be introduced to others in a manner that didn't have her needing to frantically explain what she was. Not that she even knew what she was, but that was besides the point. Phobos knew she could heal people. That was something that these freedom fighters could use.

And it was the least she could do as someone who didn't fight. So she waited for Valery Noble to be available to speak.

The music still lingered in the air as Valery slipped away from the floor, the red fabric of her dress catching faintly in the soft lights. Her smile lingered, a trace of warmth from the dance and their moment together, but with Kahlil pulled aside by someone else for the moment, she had taken the chance to breathe.

A drink would do her good.

On her way toward the bar, her steps slowed. Someone waited just outside the flow of the party, tucked against the edge as if not quite ready to step in. The hood caught her attention first, then the way the woman seemed focused more on what was happening within than on herself. Valery tilted her head slightly, orange eyes studying her in the low light.

Rather than pass by, she altered her path and came closer, her tone warm, "You've been sitting out here a while," she said gently, pausing a few steps away so as not to crowd her. "Are you looking for someone?"

"Are you looking for someone?"

"Ah, yes, sorry," Phobos responded, quickly straightening her posture and offering a bow. "I was looking for you, I believe. Valery Noble, correct?"

She was clearly a warrior. Even in a dress, the Jedi Master carried with her a strong aura and the scars of battle. It was a bit intimidating. Phobos wondered if a warrior would be receptive to the aid of one who did not believe in violence. Then again, there were Jedi who did not pick up weapons, so this momentary concern was likely unfounded. Just the little doubtful voice in the back of the Ashspawn's head.

"Miss Reina Daival Reina Daival told me that I should speak to you about volunteering my talents," she stated. "I'm... not a fighter, but I am a capable healer. I wish to offer those talents to relieve the suffering of your people here."

Valery's expression softened as she gave a small nod. "Yes, I'm Valery," she confirmed, her smile lingering as her gaze settled more fully on the young woman before her.

"A healer," she echoed, "That is exactly what we need."

She shifted her weight slightly, the red fabric of her dress brushing as she folded her hands loosely in front of her. "When word of the Hidden Path began to spread, most who came to us wanted to fight. It is the instinct when faced with Sith and the destruction they leave behind. But the truth is, healers are just as important as any soldier or Jedi. Without them, we cannot keep going."

Valery took a small step closer, her voice calm but sincere. "If you are offering your talents, then I would gladly accept them. You will make a difference here."

"If you are offering your talents, then I would gladly accept them. You will make a difference here."

Oh. Was... it really that simple?

Phobos had assumed that this would be a much more laborious process. After all, this was a complex rebellion operation. She'd have assumed that it wouldn't be as easy as just walking up and asking to join. Not that she was going to complain. Phobos didn't exactly have a background to check.


"Thank you," she finally continued, offering a respectful dip of her head. "I hope that in the coming days you will find my skill-set to be satisfactory to your needs. You may call me Phobos. If... I may, though, you... have much experience with galaxy as a Jedi Master, correct? This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but..."

Slowly, Phobos steeled her nerves and pulled down her hood, letting the mane of fire on her head free. They needed to know what she looked like after all if she was going to be helping them regularly.


"Have you seen others like myself before in your travels?" Phobos asked in a reserved tone.

It was worth a shot. May as well see if this experienced Jedi had seen another of her kind before. Though the Ashspawn was skeptical if anyone in the galaxy ever had before.

Valery's smile held as she inclined her head in return. "I have no doubt your skills will prove valuable. Healing is never wasted here, and I will make sure you have the chance to put those talents to use." With the upcoming plans to strike at enemy targets, she knew it was going to be invaluable sooner, rather than later.

When the hood was lowered and the fire revealed, Valery's orange eyes widened just slightly, though her composure remained steady. She studied Phobos for a moment, the faint shimmer of the flames reflecting in her gaze, before she shook her head. "In all my years traveling the galaxy, I have never met another quite like you," she admitted honestly.

Her tone softened, as she continued, "Why do you ask? Are you searching for others of your kind?"

"Why do you ask? Are you searching for others of your kind?"

"Kind of," Phobos muttered. "Admittedly, I've never actually met another one of my kind. I am... unsure if they even exist. I suppose I just had some... lingering curiosity about the matter. Couldn't hurt to ask."

It seemed like she wasn't going to be making any progress on that front any time soon. Oh well. There was surely something out there, right? There had to be.

Surely.

"Regardles," the young woman continued, "I am ready to begin. And... currently lacking any inclination of which direction I should go. I've not been to this place before today."

Not uncommon with how much hitch-hiking she'd been doing as of late.

Valery studied her for another moment, sensing the mix of uncertainty and determination beneath her words. "If you wish to know more about your people, I can't promise answers," she said, "What I can offer is access. At our enclaves we maintain archives that reach back far. If there is a trace of your people anywhere, it may be there."

She let the thought settle before she shifted, her arms folding loosely in front of her. "As for beginning your work here, Odessen's medical facilities are always in need of skilled hands. If you prefer to work closer to the Jedi, the enclaves maintain medbays as well. For now, you can choose whichever suits you best."

Her eyes flicked back toward the bustle of the gathering, then returned to Phobos. "Soon, though, we will have to bring everything together. Soldiers, healers, Jedi. When that time comes, we might be on the move to help the people who are now trapped within the Core."

The faintest trace of a smile touched her lips again. "Until then, we will make sure you are ready."

"Soon, though, we will have to bring everything together. Soldiers, healers, Jedi. When that time comes, we might be on the move to help the people who are now trapped within the Core."

"I understand," Phobos nodded. "That Galactic Empire, no? The energy they carry, it is familiar to me. I've seen darkness like it in my travels. When the time comes for your people to return to the Core, I will be ready to offer my assistance."

That darkness was more familiar then even she understood herself. She knew it personally. From where she did not know. Yet even so, something about that dark presence filled her with dread. It was like staring into the jaws of death. Was it her own death she saw in it?

Or someone else's.

"I believe I would be better amongst your Jedi healers," she decided. "My talents best reflect that of your kind, less so those trained in medicine."

Valery dipped her head slightly, her expression warm. "Then the enclaves are where you belong. If you wish to work among the Jedi, I would suggest you seek out Everest Vale Everest Vale on Eshan. She oversees the medbays there and has guided many others. You will find her patient and willing to help you shape your talents."

Her orange eyes lingered on Phobos a moment, "I will send word ahead so she knows to expect you. And when the time comes for us to move into the Core, you will be with those who can best support and guide you."

A faint smile tugged at her lips as she folded her hands loosely at her waist. "For now, take the time to learn from her. You will be ready when we need you."

"Very well," Phobos accepted with a dip of her head.

Everest Vale Everest Vale . She could remember that name. Phobos had always been very good at remembering names. All she had to do was get on a transport to Eshan and offer her healing powers. It was, after all, what she seemed to be created to do. Her very body was a vessel for this healing power, the raw living Force given form.

She could do this.

"May I request a shuttle?" the young woman asked. "I must admit I've been relying heavily on free transportation. I have no means of transit... and I suspect I would be a poor pilot."

Valery's smile returned, the expression softening her features. "Of course," she said, giving a small nod. "I will have a shuttle arranged for you by morning. The pilot will take you directly to Eshan, and I will send a message ahead to Everest so she can be ready to receive you."

Her gaze drifted briefly across the room, where the sound of music and conversation still filled the air. When she looked back at Phobos, her tone lightened just slightly. "For now, there is no need to rush off. Enjoy the gala a little longer, hm? You've earned a few quiet moments before you start this next step."

She folded her arms loosely, her voice calm but kind. "There will be plenty of time for duty soon enough. Tonight is about having fun."

She folded her arms loosely, her voice calm but kind. "There will be plenty of time for duty soon enough. Tonight is about having fun."

"That is a kind offer, but I'm... unsure," Phobos stated, rubbing her shoulder. "I've never been good with gatherings..."

She knew the kind of feeling it gave her. That little knot in her... stomach. Strange. Phobos didn't have anatomy, yet she swore she knew what it felt like. Where everything should go. So often she'd go to take a breath, only to find no air. No lungs. Gatherings were something else she had no memories of. How did she even know that feeling?

Maybe she'd bring more questions than answers to a party.

"I-I hardly feel like I'm dressed for the occasion," she reasoned.

Her plain, well worn white dress was not exactly a head turner. It was clean... and that was about all it had going for it right now. It hardly helped that she had little else in the way of clothes to her name.
