Recuperation

[Caid Centurion]

Central Hub
Cardea Medical Center

Caid entered the small cantina casually. Having only just returned from a rather extended period of time away from Sullust following a rather fateful meeting with Nubica Felidae, the Rogue had pushed beyond exhaustion and delirium. Fortunately his two day return journey had been...restful to a degree. There was never any shortage of reading or personal training to complete.

During his childhood on Dathomir and subsequent life as a pirate and military officer, Caid had learned the true quality of a routine, effective training regimen. It was not the pace of his life that ever truly challenged him, but it was the effort required to struggle against decades of ingrained hatred of force users. One did not simply...cease to hate the havoc that the Force seemed to play on all life. It was, in his former estimation, the single greatest cause of the galaxy's strife.

Now though...well...be it through brainwashing or the forceful opening of his eyes, Caid was beginning to see things in a different light. So...for at least the next several hours, Caid merely wanted to drink, eat, and allow his brain to drift away from all concepts of the Force or the strife of the galaxy. He'd never been blind to the tragedies imposed by individuals like his ancestors. He just wondered...if he was destined to end up just like them in the long run.

That was the full reality of his hesitation towards learning the Force at all.

Taking a seat at a booth near a rear corner where he could see the entryway, Caid waited for the server droid to wheel over before ordering an Ale.

"Hi there!"

The rather cheerful voice would attempt to draw the patron's attention with a cheerful greeting and a rather perky smile. To say that the woman radiated cheerfulness was putting it lightly, she practically thrummed with it.

Hair braided in two thick plaits down the side of her head gave her a rather odd youthful look, wisps of strawberry blonde hair escaping to feather the sides of her face. Her eyes were a bright brown, and she wore blue shorts, a white button up blouse, and had a dark grey apron wrapped round her tiny waist. A small datapad was in her hand, and she held her finger over the screen in expectation.

"Welcome to the Lucky Lady!" she beamed, "I'm Kaile, what would you like to start off to nom on today?"

Whereas Caid was expecting a server droid, he was rather surprised to see [member="Kaileann Vera"] making her way over. Truth be told, Caid didn't really encounter a lot of bubbly servers. A large part of that reason was because most of the establishments he frequented utilized droids.

Somehow, he could tell Kaile was going to be 'perky' before she even opened her mouth. When she did, Caid could only smirk slightly. "I'll just start with an Ale please. I tend to prefer food that I cook for myself." True statement. Maybe he was paranoid?

Nah, cooking was just a decent, non-violent stress relief. It was like meditation but way better because, you know, food.

"Just the ale?" Kaile looked rather surprised. Granted, this was Kaile, and she really enjoyed grubbing down. "Not even something to snack on?" it wasn't that she was trying to be pushy, just genuine concern over the state of hunger the viridian eyed man may be in. Working at Yum Bunnies taught her one thing, menfolk were always hungry. One way or another.

And they could chow down a big platter of spicy Nuna wings in no time flat!

She gave a quick tap of her datapad, the ordering app displayed registering his previous order for ale. She went about handing him his napkin and cutlery. "Got some amazing Twin Sun Nuna bites!"
