With the antiquities seemingly retrieved, Rohana expelled a slight breath of relief. At least they had achieved the main objective; Jedha's heritage would not be lost today. But, so long as crooks like Old Torbie were still operating in the area, there would always be risk and future threats. As...
Feeling the tension in the air, Rohana made a move to act. Time was waning and so was her patience. They had lost the element of surprise; now, there was likely to be fierce opposition, maybe even a trap - Rohana expected nothing less, especially from pirate scum.
"Time for action, gentleman...
This had gone on long enough; having little patience left, Rohana didn't waste much time dealing with the last guard. It didn't take much to subdue him, seeing his other two companions must have demoralised him as there was little actual resistance left in him. With a mere flick of the hand, the...
To say Rohana was feeling flustered was a bit of an understatement. Right now, she was pinned down by the enemy, and quite scorched by blaster fire. Attempts at mustering the Force were proving fruitless and that only served to irk her more. She couldn't focus, not under these conditions. So...
Even with blaster bolts flying, Rohana could hear Teran's snarky retort. Naturally, she was ready with her scathing rebuke. "Oh, forgive me - I was foolish...to think I actually had faith in your abilities. Certainly won't be doing that again!"
Insolent buck; if only his skills were half as...
Lost her voice? How dreadful, truly a great loss - both for her and the greater galaxy. But Rohana would not insult Sakadi by offering pity; it would do little good. Instead, the pale lady focused on the positives. "The galaxy believes you dead; I am glad to see however that this is not the...
For a moment, Rohana simply stared, unsure what to make of this crystalline manifestation; who knew the Force had this much potential, the capability of giving an astral form that something as sentient as a crystal. It was quite remarkable and equally unnerving. Up until this point, Rohana had...
Sakadi looked flustered and for a moment, Rohana couldn't think of a reason why; was it something she said? Did she have the wrong person? No, this was most definitely Sakadi Marathi Sinvala, she'd recognise the purple woman anywhere. This in itself was quite an unexpected surprise; Rohana swore...
"Maybe next time, I should do the talking - Seeing as you fail so miserably at it." Steading the beat of her heart, Rohana worked to center herself. She breathed in, holding the breath before gently expelling out; they got lucky, escaping the way they did. But now the element of surprise was...
"You're force sensitive."
It wasn't a question, so much as it was a statement. Now that they were alone, away from prying eyes, Rohana could take her time and assess this particular situation. Time with the Jedi had honed her senses well, it was getting easier to recognise when and where the...
Teran was a terrible liar; it was painful watching him blunder through his deception. Unsurprisingly, the ruse was quickly discovered. To make matters worse, the two padawans were now in the firing line - quite literally, as nearly all of the thugs now had blasters trained on them. Time to make...
"Options? Such as-" Rohana didn't get a chance to finish the rest of her words. One minute, she was sat opposite Eisa, the next, there was nothing but pure oblivion and the chill that came with it. At first, Rohana was understandably panicked, having no clue as to what exactly had just...
Choosing not to elaborate on her earlier comment, Rohana instead focused on Teran's rather apparent discomfort. Don't tell me the buck's bashful? How unexpected, especially given the boy's earlier bravado. If not the nature of their visit, Rohana would have actually found the thought amusing. If...
Out of all the places Rohana had visited, Ithor was by far the most tranquil. The jungle landscape was reminiscent to that of her homeworld, the Inner Rim planet of Onderon. Years had passed now since Rohana's self-imposed exile; loss had driven her to abandon everything and start anew, to seek...
There was no mistaking it, Rohana knew this woman. "You're that opera singer. You performed on Onderon during the royal gala."
What are the odds she'd run into her here, of all places and that Sakadi was also a Jedi padawan? Truly, the Force worked in mysterious ways - who would have thought...
On this odd occasion, Rohana relinquished lead on this particular assignment. Indeed, it seemed Teran was in his element, stringing this unpleasant 'Old Torbie' along with nothing more than a couple of falsehoods and bluffs. It was actually quite a spectacle to witness; the buck should have gone...
Naturally, Rohana would rebuff Teran's initial offer; already she had said too much, and because of this, the pale lady found herself mentally berating the all but brief lapse in judgment. This padawan was a stranger, there was no need for any sort of familiarity; they just needed to conclude...
Rohana didn't allow herself many luxuries, not anymore at least. But this locket...this locket was something she treasures greater than anything else in the world. She'd surrender her saber before losing this - a family heirloom. It had been passed down for only a few generations now, but its...
Rohana's expression never shifted once. Her face was that of a perfect, porcelain mask; nothing betrayed the utter repulsion she felt at that very moment. She'd never get used to this, the unsightly visage of poverty - she had never known such a life, how could even begin to empathise with it...
Rather than waste her breath on idle banter, Rohana all but rolled her eyes, unwilling to spare Teran even a fraction of a glance. Though the young buck was only three years her junior, Rohana could already perceive a stark contrast between herself and this hoodlum; how bothersome, another...
