Return from the blue

[Avin Starfire]

The door swung open, Stardust stood less on edge this time, in normal clothes and a lack of sorrow hung in the air.

"It's rude to be too early!" Avin stated as he leaned up against a wooden support beam.

He popped open his case and slipped a Cigarra into the corner of his mouth and lit it with a match.

"You ready? Need someone to come and look after the kid? Had breakfast? This could take a while." He exhaled the smoke over his shoulder and shook ash into a dead potted plant.

She gave A smile now listening to him as she shook her head, indeed she had improved a lot determined

hahaha well you have a point there

She said as she stepped out and closed the door as she watched him light the cigara up taking a breath

I have a trusted servant that is watching the child, breakfast I've already ate m and I have more in me

He sat with intent and tried to relax his figure as they conversed.

"In that case, let's get going, I didn't bring a speeder so I hope you don't mind the walk unless you've got one of your own up here. At least it will give us time to discuss how exactly all this will be fixed?"

He inhaled smoke once more allowing it this time to freely flow into the air as they stood on the hilltop. The sun now rising over the easterly landmasses that made up the Imahalayan continent. The Rays struck down through trees of the forests and gazed across the sea. Hopefully, it would hold out but for a day.

She gave a smile as she started on the path

I don't mind walking at all, as you said it'll allow us to discuss how to fix everything

She looked out to the rising sun as she felt the rays if warmth rush over her body as she sighed and closed her eyes inhaling the air, out to the sea she could see that it was holding though dark clouds gathered

They set off back down the winding hill path towards the city at a reasonable pace, the quiet that ensued for the first two minutes broke as Avin opened his mouth

"So where do we start?"

As much work as he had done the night before after leaving Stardust he still had no clue where they were in the long term.

It was quiet now, the two making their way done the hill the city before them coming to life, she looked to avin and sighed

to the space port and then to the prison moon....the council must be released and I must speak on my grievances to them and apologize

It was the first step something she needed to do, she could only hope that they'd accept her sincere apolgizes

 

[Avin Starfire]

He nodded, she really had gone all out on imprisoning them. Still, they were alive which is better than some of the rumors traveling around.

"Sounds good, there shouldn't be any resistance to this right? The order doesn't have any real power here right?"

His hands slipped down to his belt and checked his blaster was fully charged and his comlink was still receiving.

Luckily for them, the path wasn't too wet even with the evening's downpour, seemingly most had been absorbed into the nearby terrain.

She glanced over as She gave a nod, she was unsure herself but last she knew the planet operated it...least she hoped so

we should be ok, last I knew the prison was operated by my people, just the first order has a embassy here is all...that and you know

She had her sabers and westars on each hip, she never went without them at all as it was habit to go anywhere with them attached to her hip

They carried on for another good ten minutes before reaching the final stretch into town.

"Guess after this council thing we might want to go and let the order know their embassy might be closing. Though I'm not sure if they would dare with a retaliation especially with most of their resources focused on pushing back the dominion and Alliance."

Avin threw the butt of his Cigarra onto the road and snuffed it out with his boot.

She watched the space port start approaching as she could see the many ships coming to and from different places carrying many different items on board

we must tread careful, even though they are focused else where they won't hesitate to send a force to make a example of us for others

She looked to her parked shuttle and started making her way to it as she looked back

we'll take my shuttle up make it more official

 

[Avin Starfire]

He checked his collar and smartened the jacket he had on before heading up behind Star into the shuttle

"Sounds good, guessing if we lay low they won't care about the council being brought back. Furthermore, once they are back the economy and society should start to pick up again!"

He minded his head stepping into the shuttle's main room and found himself a seat.

"Though if they do come back looking to make an example I'm sure we could send a request for help from the dominion, they can't be too far out?"

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Avin Starfire"]

Being so talk she had to actually duck to get in the shuttle and then found herself a seat as she looked over to him and thought for a moment

once they are back a close eye will be kept on them, first what they need to do is quell the rebels that has spring up since they've left

She said and sighed as she bowed her head

they are quite far and as I've heard they have lots if troubles, but we have commenor and the dominion and others...we can have help

 

[Avin Starfire]

He grasped the seat as the ship shuddered to life, engines spun up and the humming of sub-light kicked in.

"Ah, you're the boss! I'll leave you to the global politics!"

It had been quite a while since Avin had checked the goings on of the galaxy, it tended not to bother him too much. Always finding to avoid attention, a side must not be taken.

She braced herself as she felt was ship rock as they took off and started for the moon, it would be matbe a 45 minute ride toward the moon

hahah and don't forget that...reminds me...are you still my guard?

She was curious hienstly as he had said nothing about that and wanted to confirm for herself

 

[Avin Starfire]

[member="Stardust Raxis"]

He thought to himself for a few moments before crudely answering.

"That depends on how long I stick around, but for now I'd say so. Ya know as long as I get a fancy title and a bit of land and all!" Avin's demeanor lightened at the end of speech clearly back on side.

"But yes, for now, you can count me as that if you want. Though this time I may actually be able to defend you from any threats and not you me!"

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She couldn't help but start laughing as she gave a smile nodding

alright sir avin starfire defend of her lady's health owner of the plains

She said ironically still laughing as she brightened up as well as she nodded

I'll count that you always has a job and house here never revoked it from ya...and yea hahahah might actually keep me safe huh

 

[Avin Starfire]

"Owner of the plains, ill add that to the title from now on! hahaha"

The shuttle shuddered again as it changed into an approach vector

"You know, you should really get these engines looked at, this is meant to be a royal shuttle after all!"

He chuckled again and checked the time before his face changed to the serious.

"So what's the plan when we touch down? I'll probably let you do most of the work so just let me know if you need anything?"

[member="Stardust Raxis"]

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Avin Starfire"]

you better and each time you come in you announce yourself as such! Hahah

She felt it shudder and frowned as she nodded

believe it or not I have not used this in some time, been flying myself

She said as she then got a neutral look

simple I give them my name the code for authorization they take us down there and I use my queen powers to grant them pardon

 

[Avin Starfire]

He listened, the plan seemed simple but these things always had the ability to backfire on him.

"Well should be easy walking then! Let's just hope there is no hard feeling from the council!"

Avin shut his eyes for a few moments as the ship started its final holding pattern, a few mutters came from under his breath before another shudder hit the ship and the pilot started to request final procedures.

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

She looked down in shame as she sighed, she knew she was in for a mouthful....

yea let's hope I'm not killed right away, I'm sure there not happy with me but maybe i can make it up

Once the ship started in and landed Stardust stood and looked back as she changed her demeanor so she looked more royal

keep behind and watch around got it

She came up to a guard who greeted her, she was curt and requested access to the high security area where the council was held and provided a code before the long ride down started
