A Simpler Life
Inner Rim
Kaalia didn't really have a reason to be here. She didn't have a history with this planet, and she wasn't sent by the Ren either. She just needed some time to let some recent events sink in, and she needed to do that alone. A whirlwind of emotions that was kicked up after a confrontation with Ara Ren had left the redhead with unexpectedly fortunate results. It brought the two closer in the end, while she personally found the true power of the dark side within her. From that day forward, she was a confident and empowered person, letting little stand in her way toward gaining more knowledge and power. After all, it was the only way to make sure she wouldn't leave her destiny in the hands of others. The redhead was close to losing her closest friend in those moments however, and she was mentally drained. She walked through the streets of a city she didn't even know the name of, simply clearing her mind and recharging. It'd help sort her brain out and make sure everything was figured out.
Travelling was one of her favorite things to do, exploring new places and getting to know the environment always interested her. It was the only thing left now that she kept from her days as a Jedi, her master and her constantly going from planet to planet in an attempt to teach her. Those teachings were useless to her now ever since she abandoned the Light, however. It had enslaved her, created a weak version of her that controlled her actions. Now that the pretender in her mind was killed, the darkness had freed her from her shackles. These were exciting times for Kaalia, and the thought of it drew a smile on her face. Her emerald eyes observed the sights of the city around her, and her vision locked onto a cantina. A drink definitely wasn't something she'd pass up on.
The redhead made her way inside, and the first thing she did was take in the Force auras around her. None of them stood out, and it actually was something pleasant. If she couldn't pick up on another person strong in the Force, there was a good chance nobody else could pick up on hers. A few faces looked her way to observe the scar at her left eye, but she didn't mind. Kaalia was humored by some of the people, feeling some kind of interest well up within them. It wasn't something that happened to her before. Perhaps it was the confidence? She sat down and ordered a brandy, enjoying the sounds of talking and laughter around her.
