The young one knows the rules, but the old one knows the exceptions.

[Khepri]

Sitting atop what seemed to be a mound of dirt was a short, stout Gand. His surface was brown and bumpy, like the carapace of a beetle that had lived too long, his eyes a solid grey and his mouth concealed my a rebreather that hissed with the rhythm of his breathing. It was a quiet morning on Bovo Yagen, only the rustling of leaves and the occasional noise of a small animal could be heard in the distance. It was bliss for Khepri, a place where he could relax and focus on his study of the force. Every so often an individual would land nearby in search for supplies before they continued their voyage or even worse, land due to injuries inhibiting their travel. More often than not Khepri would aid this individuals when they came. They were the only sentient interaction he knew for nearly a decade now, and even in search of peace he cherished times where he could speak to others, learning knew things.

Raising a pipe that seemed to be made of scrap metal to his mask he would insert its tip into a small hole. Twisting slightly a grind and his could be heard faintly as his pipe attached itself to his rebreather. Breathing in deeply it allowed him to smoke his various herbs without fear of oxygen entering his lungs and killing him. Tilting his head to the side Khepri pulled the pipe from his mask, the faint sounds of a starship clearly being heard over the silence. It seemed today he would have another visitor, he thought as he exhaled, a plume of smoke jetting from the outlet valve of his mask with a loud hiss.

Sensing the force swirling around the individual with the ship he knew one thing. Not only was this person force sensitive, but they were trained at least to some extent in its use. The presence was not overtly dark, though it clearly did not feel as pure as the Jedi would like to believe themselves to be. It was odd, a mixture Khepri felt very rarely in the force, perhaps even similar to himself, though this presence was, smaller.

Tin'tinag gave a light gorn to herself as the ship came in for a landing, a small plume of smoke coming from the starboard engine, "[member="Petal"], remind me never to never try anything in Imperial space again, kind of forgot about their whole hate for smugglers, more so Twi'lek once since they are at war with the CIS". With Ryloth under the Confederacy's control, the slave trade being broken many Twi'leks had joined its ranks and as such the Empires already xenophobic nature was just elevated, making it rather had to do anything under their gaze, more so when looking like a Jedi.

Slowly, but surly, with a bit of a rough clunk the (freighter type) touched down, the engines winning as they powered down, the ramp making its iconic hissing sound and steam was released from vents and valves. An orange/yellow Twi'lek stepping out of the battered ship, dressed in a black and grey Jedi like robe, the woman walking around the side of the ship, giving a quick look at the damage done, "hmmm, looks superficial, can probably beat it out and have her flying in a bit..". Her sentence came to an odd pause as sometime seemed to tick at her mind "do you feel that, some force presence... on this world"?

The Twi'leks eyes scanned the surrounding jungle area with a curious look, trying to get a feel for who was there, and why, this planet did not offer much aside from seclusion. Was it some Jedi master? Perhaps, the signature was that of the light side, and strong too... this could turn out to be interesting.

[Khepri]

It was two, not just one it seemed, the force permeating from them both more strongly now that they had landed. One however was clearly stronger, more focused, but the other still held within it a reservoir of potential. Neither however were beyond what one would expect from a Padawan, a real shame as it had been nearly a decade since Khepri had stood eye to eye with real power. He was no warmonger, but there was always an excitement that came with the meeting of two individuals truly potent in the use of the force. These two however, would have to entertain him for now.

Moving from his seat on the mound Khepri would pull a metal rod from his brown robe, flicking a switch causing it to extend into a long staff nearly as tall as him. Using said staff to aid his walk through the dense vegetation he would slowly approach. Taking several minutes, Khepri would emerge from the treeline, hardly in sight as his robes and skin seemed to blind in with the background of greens and browns. "Hello!" Khepri called out with a deep, metallic tone as if his voice had echoed within his rebreather before finally escaping. Shambling forward, prodding at the ground with his staff as he walked, Khepri played the guise of the crippled old man perfectly for even if he was capable of much more, this pace pained him much less

The ship they traveled in was quite obviously beaten, possibly having seen action not too long ago. "Have you been forced to land? I don't get many visitors around here" Khepri said with a hint of curiosity, most likely wondering why they seemed to have been attacked, and if their attackers would follow them here.

[Petal]

look nervously at [member="Tin'tinag"] how to respond but does calm down a bit and stops hiding behind her captain while [member="Khepri"] looks weak petal knew not to take a person at face value. he did seem hower to be a kind person and wasn't looking at them like most male humanoids.

 

[Tin'tinag]

Tin arched her head in an uninterested manner at the approaching figure, she could feel their force power more clearly now, it was strong, but at the same time it felt like it was waning a bit, or not at the full strength it could have been, "Who's dis". Turning fully round her Twi'leks eyes rested upon a Gand, like most of their species having a respirator on to deal with other planets atmospheres, but from looking flat on she could see the man was rather old, maybe in his 50, using a cane to walk.

"Why yes we have had some... engine problems nothing to much, though I could understand why not many people come here, this place is almost all jungle or water", a planet where only exiles or other people wanting to avoid others would go. "My name is Tin'tinag, your friendly system freighter captain, and eeeeh Jedi I think, who may I ask are you"? Though usually a sarcastic cocky tease Tin knew when to talk politely, at such a person of high age and grand force strength was worth the effort.

[member="Petal"] l [member="Khepri"]

 

[Petal]

"i-Im petal just petal." a warm and friendly smile come across her face with also a slight hint of surprise due to the [member="Tin'tinag"] being even more polite than normal.

[member="Khepri"]

 

[Khepri]

Stepping closer Khepri could clearly see the separate individuals now, twi'leks. They were to most races, beautiful, graceful, elegant, exotic. To Khepri, they tended to be trouble. They were known to him to get themselves in trouble and if they didn't get into it themselves, they still managed to be followed by it. From the damage that was apparent to the ship it was clear that these two were no different, shrouded by danger and misfortune. "A pleasure, I am Khepri" he spoke, calmly stopping only feet from the duo, placing his staff firmly in front of him, clearly leaning against it to hold himself stable. "Jedi are not a common sight in these parts, especially those of an alignment of a, darker shade. Tell me, why have you come so far from your temples?" Khepri asked, reaching out with the force to probe both of their minds with subtlety, only seeking to pry from them if they were speaking truthfully to him.

Raising his staff he pointed to the freighter with a tilt of his head. "Your damages are manageable, though I would consider following me home, I've collected quite an assortment of parts that might aid in its repair. I have been here a long time, and there have been many crashes to scavenge from." Khepri turned without hearing their reply, slowly trudging through the dirt as he had before, though at a slightly faster pace. Not even bothering to look if they followed he would engross himself once more into the jungle, knowing that even if they didn't follow now, they could at least sense his location and find him.

[member="Petal"]
[member="Tin'tinag"]

 

[Tin'tinag]

Tin could not help but feel a small account of everyone having only one first name, "Oh darker shade, so you noticed, but I would not call myself a grey in any term.... how about dim, I am a dim light, [member="Petal"] here though is not yet trained so I guess she can be called a grey in some sense". She had tried to distance herself from any dark side faction or traits, but unfortunately with not real master or code to follow her old tendencies kind of affected her force alignment, most of which were a bit dark. "As for why I am here, well I was apart of The Jedi Order, but that fell out of existence when our grand master vanished, and came back as a darksider looking to purge us from the galaxy under some pretense of 'making up for lying to us'. Whats more the man said he wanted to bring peace and order tot he galaxy but returned to the temple with an ultimatum, join his new dark order of die, ironic no"?

She followed the, what she assumed to be a exiled master around the ship, keeping a close eye on the man as he observed the craft, "The damage is not to much, but I would like to replace the worn parts to make it a little more space worthy, though tell me, how have you collected stuff over the year? or have others landed her like us, just in a more destructive manner"? It would not come as a surprise to the Twi'lek if the planet had it's fair share of crashes from people trying to escape certain things, or as a bumping ground for trash, as [member="Khepri"] turned around and left Tin could only give a slight shrug to her crew mate before following the master. "So, what a person like you doing here? not many people make homes of uninhabited planets like this ones without a reason".

 

[Petal]

grey?.... dark?... light? petal was confused petal heard of Jedi and Sith but to her, they were all just these living myths [member="Tin'tinag"] said something about her being a Jedi but what that really was petal didn't really know or wish to be nosy and now [member="Khepri"] was calling her one. all this was over her head but there was one thing petal did undersaid and that was parts and lots of them and maby a droid to fix up she always wanted a little droid friend to build up to be a companion and a protector. *looks up after being lost in thought and notice tin and khepri were slowly going into the tree line* "C-Captain w-wait for me"

 

[Tin'tinag]

Tin turned back with a small smile on her face to the pink Twi'lek, "not to worry I ain't going anywhere fast", she remarked, continuing to follow strong force user back to him home, the place washed with the force. She had a strong feeling that the two Twi'leks would learn a lot today, after all they rand their own working hours.

[In the following days Tin mainly focused on learning force healing from the Jedi master, combing with the knowledge already obtained from Rianna Ar'klim-Organa, along with his skills in Tutaminis a very interesting skill for those who did not wear armor]

[The next few weeks mainly detailed the learning more into Shein and Niman light saber forms, being the ones mastered by the rouge Jedi the first being one she already knew the latter a new skill to be added to her array of present styles, during said time her use of force healing being used, maybe a little to often]

[The last of the training passed down by [member="Khepri"] was the skills of force weapon and body, bot ideal for a Twi'lek in more ways then one, though with the two months coming to a close the two force agreed that it would be best to depart from the planet and return to work, thanking the rouge Jedi

 

[Jax Vandal]

A bead of sweat ran down Jax's face as entered the planets atmosphere. This was gonna be rough even for him. He pulled on the stolen ship's controls and closed his eyes as he came closer and closer to the ground. The shipped shuddered as he hit foliage. The smuggler clutched his lightsaber in his mechanical hand and locked the movement settings. Scavengers would literally have to pry it from his cold dead hand. He smirked at the ridiculous thought just as he hit the ground, and everything went black. Barely alive his unconscious body lay slumped over in the cockpit.

[member="Khepri"]

 

[Tin'tinag]

Well it seemed that Tin was not the only person to crash land on the planet, yes hers was as not as rough as this new person but it seemed this place was a popular crashing sight. "Petal go fire up the ship, I'm going to check this place out, wouldn't want to set the forest on fire now would we". Giving a small smile to the Pink Twi'lek mechanic. Tin'tinag now heading towards the crash site, keeping a feel out in the force for whoever was onboard, soon coming to a slumped over man, unconscious and decked out in some sort of armor. "Ouch that looks like a bad crash, lets see if you are still in the realm of saving".

Reaching down Tin placed her hand against the mans chest, slowly letting the force run through his body, "hmmm, difficult, but I have a feeling I can handle this". Utilizing the force the yellow Twi'lek began to slowly heal the mans wounds ever so slowly, mending bones, skin and blunt force trauma.

[member="Jax Vandal"]

 

[Jax Vandal]

Jax gasped suddenly awoken, and feeling revitalized. He forgot where he was momentarily and grabbed hold of a Twi'lek with his mech arm. With a swift movement his lightsaber flashed on and was at her neck. Coming to his senses he let her go and holstered his weapon. Realizing she must've saved him somehow he apologized, "I'm sorry about that. You startled me, I thought you were a scavver." She was dressed strangely. Jax hadn't encountered many Jedi, so he couldn't place the style. He extended his hand to shake.,"I'm Jax" He smirked thinking about the fact that he had beaten death yet again.

[member="Tin'tinag"]

 

[Tin'tinag]

Tin did not flinch when the saber came out, if needed she could adsorb the blades energy, though what seemed interesting was the face the man used a saber, but did not seem force sensitive. Had he stolen it and was on the run? the planet was not far from Alliance space, or did he obtain it in another way, 'interesting indeed'.

The man eyed her for some time, probably looking over the scantly dress she currently was wearing, after it it got humid on the jungle world, herself extending an arm to shake. "Well it is interesting to meet you Jax, call me Tin'tinag, so, what may I ask lead you to crashing here, and with a lightsaber"?

[member="Jax Vandal"]

 

[Jax Vandal]

"I was being chased by raiders they must've wanted my ship. This is a family heirloom.", he gestured to the weapon. ,"Figured I would do it more justice using it than locking it away in some safe." He wasn't technically lying about the saber, but this was definitely not his ship and the previous owner was definitely not a raider.

[member="Tin'tinag"]

 

[Tin'tinag]

Tin raised an eye brow at the mans statement, wondering why raiders would be around these parts. "Raiders hu" she was a little sus about the man, she had been a rather professional smuggler in her days and thus had the knack to known when people where not telling the whole truth, but she did not sense any ill intent from him. After all not like her own record was clean, best let thing go for now, "well what ever the case your here and with no ship, guess better start making some log cabins then" she remarked in a sarcastic tone. There was a high chance that Jax would ask for a ride, but it was fun to tease around an see how they reacted before saying yes.

[member="Jax Vandal"]

 

[Jax Vandal]

"Do you have a ship i could hitch a ride on? I could call someeone to get me but my nav systems broke and i have no idea what planet this is." He looked at [member="Tin'tinag"] smiling he didn't know what it was about this Twi'lek but something was off and he liked it. She carried herself like someone with a chip on her shoulder reminded him of his friend Jakobi on Coruscant.

 

[Tin'tinag]

"Oh you want a ride? well I would how much you willing to pay but it is clear you do no have much to offer, though perhaps there is something of value on that ship you have". At the very least she wanted to make some profit off this little event, maybe some spare parts to sell at a market place later on. "I will take you back to the ship, in the mean time I will have my crew mate salvage what they can, you able to walk"? She assumed her healing had done the job but it was best to make sure.

[member="Jax Vandal"]

 

[Petal]

[over the days of training and the odd fixing up of things, petal was able to learn a bit about the history of the Jedi and Sith as well as finally gain the ability to use it she was nowhere near the prodigal [member="Tin'tinag"] was but she was able to use them for to sharpen her scenes as well as also do some minor first aid with it tin also try to teach her how to use it in combat but petal found it hard to use her abilities to do harm yes shes killed people but there there was just something about useing the force like that.] [she also was able to fix/upgrad a small mouse droid to help her with salvage and repars on the ship]

"Petal go fire up the ship, I'm going to check this place out, wouldn't want to set the forest on fire now would we".

*gives a small laugh* "I don't think master @Khepri wouldn't be very happy about that"
