A warm day in Naboo

[Frannykins87]

Alisha had a million thoughts in her head as her YT-2400 approached Naboo. How did she manage to land on Tatooine at precisely the right time to save a 12 year old boy and a Jedi? Also, a JEDI?? Of course, Alisha heard little of the Jedi on Tatooine, and what she heard was something she dismissed as propaganda. Once joining the Rebellion, however, she didn't hear much more except that they were trying to re-establish the order and fight the Sith at the same time. She admired them for that, can't have been easy being the most wanted beings in the Galaxy. A bit like the Mandalorians, she thought. Well, since Jaleer was on board, today was her chance to find out more. She couldn't deny she felt curious about the young man. He seemed so much more mature than his age would suggest, and Alisha wondered if that was a thing with all Jedis. He also seemed calm..and Alisha had a glimpse of his power when escaping from Tatooine. How can someone just....wave his hand and..well do what he did back there...She thought to herself, in amazement. In addition, she thought he was pretty cute...Alisha blushed a little at that very thought, and giggled softly to herself.

Her chain of thought was interrupted as she led the ship through Naboo's swamps and grassy plains towards the city of Theed. It was mid morning, and it looked like a lovely, warm day on the planet. Alisha quickly checked in with the city's flight control officer, and waited a few minutes for them to carry out their security checks.

"What a a beautiful planet" She spoke softly to herself, taking the few minutes to take in the planet's natural environment while she was waiting for permission to land. As Alisha was used to seeing just an endless desert, she found the planet's grassy plains, swamps and lush hills particularly stunning. It made her feel peaceful inside. During the brief wait, however, Alisha also saw the remnants of the recent battle. Fallen ships here and there, empty craters and space junk spread out around the planet's surface.

"The Sith just HAD to spoil this planet too.." Alisha said again, with annoyance and disdain in her tone, a frown on her face. The way the Sith just seemed to come and destroy everything in their path made Alisha angrier than she thought she could ever get. Her frustration was only temporary, though, as she heard flight control again.

"Rebel Alisha Dawnstrider of Tatoo Squad, you have permission to land, please direct your ship to hangar 279. Welcome to Naboo, Ma'am"

Alisha's face relaxed again. Her ship now approached the floodplains leading to the city of Theed, and as she was flying over the cliff on which the city was built, which to Alisha looked very impressive, she spoke to Flight control.

"Roger that, Flight Control, will do" Alisha said, cheerful once more, quite grateful to hear a friendly voice that distracted her from the thoughts of war "And thank you"

As Alisha finally landed the ship, she switched all the engines off, and stepped out of the pilots chair. She took a few moments to free her hair from the pony tail, and lets them lose all around her shoulders. She then walked towards the living quarters, where she last left the Jedi.

"Hey, we just reached Naboo. Is Ronat still sleeping?" She asks while stepping in the quarters, without thinking of what the Jedi might be doing in the room.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer had been in the living quarters making sure the kid was sleeping an for two other completely different reasons than making sure Ronat got a peaceful sleep. One was checking the wounds he got on Tatooine since they couldn't make a stop to a hospital the young sage had to rely on the force to make sure the wound was healed. Since he got two one on his stomach and right arm the young Jedi decided it was best to remove his brown cloak and jedi robes only the top his pants were still on even though the sage had been raised in a small village were everyone was family he did know not to get naked in someone else's ship.

Which brought too the second reason he had decided to be in the living quarters so that he could think of what he was doing, the sage understood that his presence was a danger to the cute girl that saved him, and the young kid he brought with him. Though the sage blushed at thinking about the cute girl even if she was slightly older the sage realized that now wasn't the time to be thinking about a cute girl that had saved him, but it was unclear if he should even be near her and Ronat. He is unstable though nothing has happened the fear of his other personality doing something to the two made the sage afraid, yet it seemed she was on his side which meant she was either a rebel, someone friendly to Jedi something that is very common to find but not on tatooine. Hopefully she was a part of the rebellion they needed all the people they could get yet the sage shocked his head still wondering about his situation, he wasn't to meet with his master for a little bit so the sage knew that wouldn't be a issue.

'So you awake or asleep like the kid?' Jaleer said in his mind hoping that his other personality would respond, yet after a minute it would seem that the sage had a moment to himself which was rare for the young Jedi.

Completely unaware of the approaching Alisha the sage stood up and looked at his arm and stomach, though he wasn't very muscular his training had given him a lean and slightly tone body, though not a six pack the sage was tone enough to be able to tell he worked out. Looking at his scared stomach an arm the sage saw several of the old scars which he gave himself as he tried to teach fellow padawans how to heal with the force having two scars on his stomach, his chest old burns from 4 years ago and now a scar on his right arm just between the two bones, it would seem the young Jedi had little care for what happened to his body. His right side would be facing Alisha when she walked in not looking in her direction or using the force to sense his surrounding he would be taken completely by surprise when she walked in.

 

[Frannykins87]

Alisha stopped and froze for a moment as she walks into the living quarters, blinking at the sight of the topless Jedi. Alisha blushed quite a lot, even considering her tan skinned, and looked on the floor for a second.

"Ehm, sorry, didn't m-mean to barge i-in.."

Alisha said feebly, but trying to hide a small grin that was spreading across her face. Obviously she wasn't used to having people on her ship other than Xzig, never mind a young man topless..Quite a nice change, however, Alisha thought in her head. The Jedi wasn't in no way a weakling, and clearly worked out. But then Alisha thought of his injuries, and gathered the courage to look at him directly, and spoke to him with a certain amount of concern in her voice and expression.

"Are still hurt? We can try and find a medical bay or something. There is bound to be one in the city.."

While she waited for his reply, she couldn't help giving him a quick stare. But Alisha was also surprised to find his arm sort of healed on its own.

"Though your arm sure is healing fast..how did that happen.." Alisha asked curiously. Of course, knowing very little of the Jedi and the Force, she had no idea.

 

[Richie B.]

When Alisha spoke it caught the sage off guard looking at the young girl he quickly realized that him being shirtless was making her embarrassed, using the force to pull his robes towards him the Jedi put them on to cover some of his body but didn't tie it around him so they only covered his arms, most of his chest and stomach. Yet when Alisha looked at him, she will see that he was blushing just as much as her an just like her even though he was tan it was clear the Jedi was embarrassed it wasn't every day you get rescued by a cute girl, get half naked in their ship than she walks into the room you were in, though that was all clearly accidents. Yet any young teenage with hormones would blush thinking of everything that could happen, yet he didn't want to be rude an rubbing the back of his blonde hair and his padawan tail which was laying on his right shoulder with his uninjured left hand.

"N-no I am sorry this is your ship I-I shouldn't have well.. ummm done that when you could just walk in." Not sure how to describe what he did the sage would just refer to it as 'that', which only caused the sage to blush more if that was possible but it would seem Alisha was worried about his health which touched the young Jedi.

"No I am alright do not worry." Seeing she was also blushing gave the sage a bit of a boast in his confidence moving his right arm so it was in front of him an using his left hand left up the robes revealing the wound, what was left of it at least.

"I guess you don't know a lot about the force than? Don't worry not many do well you see those that can use it have the ability to use it to heal themselves and others, though it isn't like magic and there is a limit to how much we can heal but with it. If you want to know more of the force I can teach you maybe somewhere away from my sleeping friend I don't want to wake him when he deserves some sleep for helping to save my butt on Tatooine." Jaleer offered the little lesson to Alisha for two reasons one it would help get him more comfortable with her and second simply because he likes to teach though the sage has only taught other force users he was up for teaching anyone.

 

[Frannykins87]

Alisha looked on astonished as Jaleer half dressed..without really moving at all..She felt her jaw dropped slightly in fact, and despite the fact that she was still blushing, she composed herself when Jaleer offered to explain.

"Well thanks, I guess I have no idea what you Jedis can do and I am curious to know about it..but..well.." She shuffled her feet slightly, blushing again, and looking to the floor for a split second, then back at the Jedi..

"Only if you don't mind that is, I definitely do not want to pry...and I am pretty sure I am not force sensitive!" Alisha gave a little chuckle at that. She was not one to want for power, in fact, she was rather glad she didn't develop any force sensitivity.

She then gave the Jedi a half smile, still looking rather sheepish. But then it occured to her she didn't really tell him much about her.

"Oh and by the way, I am a rebel, so I won't be claiming any bounty"

She grinned, hoping her sense of humour might make things a little easier. She still felt awkward, but she was glad Jaleer was alright, and was looking foward to getting to know him.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer thought it was cute how shocked and amazed she was when he got himself dressed though the sage wasn't one for showing off it felt nice to see someone actually impressed with what he could do. An though the jedi wouldn't admit it he liked how she looked when she blushed and was embarrassed, finding the whole shuffling feet thing to be kind of adorable. Of course that didn't mean Jaleer was any less embarrassed though a bit more confident now the blushing Jedi gave Alisha a pleasant smile hoping to show he didn't mind.

"Its alright most people on Tatooine that I have met didn't know a lot about force users so don't worry. Besides force sensitive or not I would enjoy the talk, besides its the least I can do for you saving me from those bounty hunters back on Tatooine." Giving Alisha a small bow when he mentioned the fact she saved him, the sage was a person that once he is indebted to you that he will make sure to return the favor plus his mother beat that into him when he was younger.

When she mentioned she was a part of the rebels the sage visibly relaxed, sighing out of relieve that the girl was working with the good guys and maybe that meant they could work together in the future hopefully. Smiling at the girls joke it and he laughed a little bit a good natural laugh but it didn't last long.

"Well that's good to hear I was afraid a sweet girl like you might be the end of me." The sage laughed a little bit at his own joke but than stopped and blushed a bit realizing he just called her a sweet girl, and only prayed that it wasn't over stepping his boundaries and looked at the ceiling of the ship for a minute before remembering that Ronat was still sleeping.

"Almost forgot lets take this conversation somewhere else." Pointing at Ronat the Jedi spoke softly to Alisha hoping she got the idea and would lead them to another part of the ship where they could talk more about anything really, Jaleer was sure he wouldn't mind talking about anything as long as Alisha was interested in listening.

 

[Alisha Dawnstrider]

Alisha smiled and nodded at Jaleers bow.

"No problem really.. I mean, it was really lucky I just happened to land there at the right time..."

Alisha could see Jaleer was relieved to know she was a rebel, which sort of made her feel better too.

"Well that's good to hear I was afraid a sweet girl like you might be the end of me."

Alisha chuckled and blushed again, tilting her head slightly to the right, and raising her right shoulder closer to her head.

"You're too kind.." She says softly. It was kind of nice being complimented, Alisha wasn't used to it, but it was a good confidence boost.

Alisha then nodded at Jaleer's suggestion, and looked at Ronat, that was sleeping on the sofa at the back of the room. He looked so peaceful, Alisha could not help but smile at the boy. But she became a bit sad as well. A boy like this should not have been alone on Tatooine..She got closer to the him and gently patted his head. She then turned back to Jaleer.

"Well he will be sleeping a while, I don't want to disturb him either. We could always take a walk around Theed. It looks like a beautiful city"

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer knew luck had nothing to do with it the force helped him but in what way was still to be determine, the sage was glad to see his compliment was well received or at least he believed it was received well. This was of course judge by her blushing something that caused him to smile big like a kid who just got a cookie it was one of pure joy an the sage at first didn't realize he was smiling but when he did he tried to calm down and tried to make a facial expression of being happy without coming off like a weirdo.

Walking around Theed with her sounded like a good idea an the sage nodded his approval of the idea to her, looking back at the kid Jaleer was glad to see he was sleeping the little kid deserved it. Walking with Alisha out of the ship he realize his robes weren't closed and tied them together to close it, the young man didn't want everyone looking at his scared body.

"It is a beautiful city I hear but after the Imperiums attack there was a lot of damage but they have been fixing it." The sage didn't want to burst Alisha's bubble but hopefully the city still looked nice even if some of it destroyed or damaged.

Once they were away from the kid the sage would decided it was the best time to answer any of her questions about the force if she was a part of the rebellion is will need to know these things in case she has to fight a Sith or work with a Jedi.

"So any question about the force? I'm no master but I do know a few things." Jaleer offered hoping to talk with her as they walked even if it wasn't about the force the sage would be happy to just hear her soothing voice.

 

[Alisha Dawnstrider]

"It is a beautiful city I hear but after the Imperiums attack there was a lot of damage but they have been fixing it."

Alisha nodded, Remembering the scattered remains she saw as they approached. She was trying to stay calm, but thoughts of the Sith annoyed her again.

"The sith seem to have this habit of spoiling anything they come near to.."
Alisha replied, as a grave look appeared on her face for a few seconds. With a casual flick of her hand, she pushed her hair back behind her neck, and as the two walked out of the ship into the fresh, clean atmosphere of the city, Alisha's face brightened up again. She took a deep breath, feeling a pleasant breeze running through her face and hair, and couldn't help but smile.

"But they haven't spoiled everything.." Alisha says to Jaleer, Still smiling. Looking at the young Jedi made her blush slightly again, so she turned her head forward once more, making their way through a busy, but seemingly safe, city. It felt relaxing to be able to talk to someone, without trying to hide her intentions, and without having to worry about much else. It was a welcome relief from the last few chaotic months.

Alisha turned her head to Jaleer when he offered his knowledge on the force.

"Hmm.." Alisha thought for a moment, still walking but at a relaxed pace.

"well I know very little of your order in general..what is the force exactly..I mean.." she lowered her voice slightly, just in case. She knew the planet was technically neutral but it never hurts to be cautious, in her mind.

"You seem to be able to do amazing things just by..waving your hand..it can't be as..easy as it looks, can it?" Alisha smiled sheepishly at Jaleer, feeling a little awkward to ask such questions. But she was genuinely curious, and by now felt that Jaleer wasn't the type to judge, which made her feel grateful, and comfortable enough in his presence to be open.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer agreed with what Alisha said the Sith have destroyed a lot during their regime but with the Rebellion starting to grow and the Jedi gearing up for the attack it seems the tide might be turning, but when they walked out the sage couldn't help but stare at the sudden change in Alisha's mood when they got off the ship the Jedi could better appreciate her good looks.

Which caused him to blush seeing her smile having to turn forward so he could not just stare at her for too long, the Jedi couldn't help but smile himself feeling Alisha's calm and happy emotions would do that to him. An when she asked him to explain a bit about the force and his order though he wouldn't call what he did amazing an blushed a bit at the compliment.

"Well my order as you might know use the force for many things such as healing wounds to reading minds, moving things with our mind we like to say with the force anything is possible yet don't let it fool you. We are not all powerful warriors it is very draining to use the force. Now for what the force is well its a energy field that connects and binds everyone together with the force we Jedi an other that use the force gain their strength but it is not a tool but rather the force does and will control someones fate. But why is beyond me yet we Jedi understand this an allow it to control us knowing that it will help us with our ultimate goal for peace." Jaleer said though it might seem silly the sage hoped he explained it correctly and didn't come off as a raving fool.

Deciding maybe he should try something though it might come off as weird or going to fast it was the best the young Jedi could do for a pick up line, oh if only Cappi was here maybe he would be able to help him. The older Jedi did say he would be his wing man an the sage was sure a wing man would be good right about now.

"Well the force can even bring two people together if they share a destiny.." Hopefully Alisha will catch on to what he meant even if she didn't the sage wouldn't have the strength to say another pick up line for a little bit, blushing like crazy the sage tried to look at Alisha but will only be able to do that for a few moments before lookings to the other side hiding his face in embarrassment.

 

[Alisha Dawnstrider]

Alisha gave Jaleer a warm smile.

"I see. So I have the Force to thank, then" She giggled softly, and looked up ahead again. She looks forward again, and sees that they had walked out of the open spaceports into the proper city. It was buzzing with life. Vendor stalls at the side of the roads trying to talk up to costumers, people coming and going, and even some security forces patrolling the streets. It was a very different feel to Tatooine. Alisha then realised that she neglected to feed herself the last few days, and was getting very hungry, as well as quite tired.

She slows down and eventually stops, looking around for a cantina or a tavern, or restaurant.

"Ehm, do you mind if we stop somewhere to eat? I'm quite famished...." She turns to Jaleer again "If you don't mind, that is.."

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer turned to see Alisha giving him a warm smile which made him smile also, the giggling did make the Jedi's knees weak but he quickly got a hold of himself and as the two walked peacefully the sage took the moment to extend his senses with the force. Feeling the minds of hundreds of people something that was quite scarier if it was new to you, but the collective feeling was uneasiness the planet seemed to be holding its breath for what will come next after the battle.

Once Alisha began to slow down the sage quickly took notice that his savior was missing and saw that she was behind him, slowing down and eventually stopping when she did the Jedi waited for Alisha to speak. An didn't wait long, once she mentioned she mentioned she was hungry the sage quickly realized that he hadn't done anything to show his gratitude towards her.

"Of course I don't mind, you did save me remember? I owe you my live no matter what you ask of me I will see it that it is done. I am sure you wouldn't make me do something I would regret so any place in particular you want to eat at?" Jaleer said looking at Alisha's eyes hoping to make her move comfortable around him, wish the sage would like her to be.

 

[Frannykins87]

Alisha realised that Jaleer was a few steps ahead, and with a "Oops" hurried back to his side. After he spoke,she smiled warmly at him, looking back at his eyes. Her stomach twisted in a knot again, but not from hunger, it was a feeling Alisha was not used to.

"Are all Jedi this charming, or is it just you? " She giggled again, blushing and turning her head away shyly. But she regained her composure, and looked back at him once more, shaking her head gently and making a dismissive sign with her hand.
"But please, you do not owe me anything. And I definitely won't make you do anything, nevermind something you'd regret."

Alisha looked around her again, her hair waving slightly at the gentle breeze. She noticed a quaint little bar along one of the side streets of the city.

"Well, I have never been here, but how about we try that place? Looks relaxed enough" And she pointed at the place. It seemed a quiet enough place, small, with a few chairs and tables outside, and a few people inside, having their lunch.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer could feel how nervous Alisha was thanks to the force, which made the sage unsure since that would most likely means he wasn't doing something right. Yet once she said he was charming the young jedi started to blush and also looked away though inside he was jumping up and down like a excited little kid.

"N-no guess you just bring that out of me." Hoping that was the correct answer the sage couldn't look her in the eye for a few moments but even though she said he didn't owe her, the sage still felt that way.

Noticing the small bar that she pointed at the sage felt that it would be a nice place to eat at, the day was nice a breezy judging by how Alisha and Jaleer's hair was waving slightly because of it. Though the sages hair wasn't that long it was enough to allow the wind to move it an make it noticeable.

"Well we can talk about the debt later, how about I pay for your lunch I mean, well if we are eating it is what a gentleman should do for a lady." Jaleer say looking at Alisha's eyes once more getting a bit more confident and hoping she wouldn't fight him on this, it would make him feel better if he paid for her meal.

 

[Alisha Dawnstrider]

"N-no guess you just bring that out of me."

Alisha blushed again and smiled at him. This time, it was a bright, open smile, it was a smile that was rare for her to use, but this time it was instinctive. She thought for a moment about the Jedi's offer, and nodded, her beaming smile retreating to a softer, kind smile.

"Well, alright, I will let you do that, if you insist. Let's go." Alisha said merrily, and she starts walking towards the quaint little bar. As they enter, Alisha notices a couple of humans sitting at the bar counter, and a human and a female twilek sitting in a corner. She looks around the place. It was not a fancy bar by any means, but it was clean, and the decoration was pleasant to the eye, simple wooden tables and red chairs, with white covers. Alisha spotted a quite table on the right corner of the place, enough for two people to sit in front of each other. She heads towards it and sits down, and beckons the Jedi to sit in front of her. While she waits for the Jedi to sit, feeling quite content, she looks towards the barman, and calls for a waiter.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer was happy to see that Alisha was smiling and was glad to hear she would allow him to pay for her meal it was the least he could do after she spent fuel and risked her live to save his at least that was how the Jedi saw it. Walking with her just a step behind her as the two entered the bar, the sage sensed everyone in the bar an with nothing out of the ordinary the Jedi followed the cute girl to a table on the right corner of the shop.

Sitting down right in front of her the Jedi thought about everything that has happened of recent, an at the moment the young padawan was surprised he was still alive hopefully he would be promoted soon even if his disorder the sage believed he could join the other Jedi that are at the rank of knight. But for now he believed his next course of action should be to attack the Imperium where it hurts but for now the sage needed to enjoy the moment he had with Alisha the cute girl that saved him from the bounty hunters on Tatooine.

"So how long have you been with the Rebellion? If you don't mind me asking, if you want why don't we ask each other questions so we can get to know each other." Jaleer said hoping to have a nice pleasant conversation with her and get to know her better.

 

[Alisha Dawnstrider]

"Well, it hasn't been long, less than a year. I was recruited by Captain Ivellok, not sure if you heard of him, but I think he is responsible for what is left of the Rebellion navy, I think" Alisha replied as she sat back on her chair, visibly relaxed and quite glad to have a normal conversation, away from the troubles of the galaxy. In fact, it was the first real breather she felt she had since..well, ever.

" I was born and always lived on Tatooine before that. I was one of the lucky ones, I had my father, he taught me how to be a mechanic. He has a shop there still, and I helped him with the repairs there. " Alisha's expression saddened a little at the thought of her father. She was very worried for him, and bit her lower lip. It seemed ages that she hasn't seen him, and every time she thought of him there was an unease feeling that he wasn't coping that well.

"I hope he is ok. I was meant to check up on him when I was there. Won't be able to go back there for a while, at least not with my ship. I will check on him when I get the chance though."

Alisha tried to shake her concern off, as she did not want to give the impression that she blamed the Jedi and the boy for not being able to see her dad. So she gave the Jedi a small smile, and tried to look at him straight in the eyes, albeit feeling her cheeks get slightly warm again.

"And what about you? How did you become a Jedi?"

She leaned in again, putting her elbows on the table. She was curious, she had no idea how one becomes a Jedi either.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer listened to Alisha as she explained how long she has been with the Rebels and who was responsible for bringing her in, giver her a warm smile as she continued to talk about herself. But the mentioned that she was there on Tatooine to see her father made the sage realize that he took her away from checking on her father feeling a bit guilty about that and hoped she will be able to check soon.

"Yea I do apologize for interrupting that, but I am grateful I am sure your father is alright if he is anything like you he will be fine." The Jedi hoped to comfort her a little bit but it seemed she wasn't to worried when she decided to give him a smile, than she tried to look him in the eye, the sage made sure to look into her eyes also.

When she asked her question the sage chuckled a little bit since it wasn't the best story but hopefully the sage would be able to make it sound interesting.

"Well you can kind of say I was born into the order, my mother was a Jedi knight during the war, eventually she fell in love an with me along the way she decided to hide out to keep me safe. Well that lead her to Ryloth where I spent most of my live she taught me several force techniques and we worked a small farm in this small village we would also heal the sick of the village but that was over 4 years ago, I go to the village from time to time to check up on it. An pay my respects to my mother she well she lost her live during a slave raid thanks to her, another jedi an I helped a little I guess we were able to fight off the raiders but that was 4 years ago and after that I officially joined the order." Jaleer had basically told Alisha most of his live but he trusted her and wanted her to know that, besides he felt she deserved to know.

"Well that's my story, not the best one but its not the usually story most people join the order because they were found my another Jedi and than taken in if they wanted to become a Jedi. So any other questions I am a open book." Jaleer offered hoping to continue the conversation.

 

[Alisha Dawnstrider]

Alisha nodded and smiled, understanding that Jaleer was trying to reassure her. It worked mostly, and Alisha was grateful, although the uneasy feeling was still there. She tried to push it aside as she listened to Jaleer's story, holding her head with one hand, and the other arm on the table. As a twilek waitress came over, Alisha quietly asked for a couple of menus while continuing to listen to Jaleer, to which the waitress nodded and went to fetch the menus.

Alisha's face filled with understanding and a touch of sadness hearing about his mother. She waited until he finished to speak.

"I see. Well I am sorry about your mother, I am sure she would have been proud of you" Alisha gave the Jedi a warm smile, trying to comfort him in return. Losing a parent was never easy. Alisha lost her mother when she was very young, but she still remembers missing her a great deal for many years after. She still did, it was like a small tug on her heart every once in a while.

Finally the waitress came back and put the menus in front of them both. She politely says she'd give them a few minutes, and with a smile she was off again towards the bar. Alisha picked the menu in front of her and started browsing through it. Glancing over at the young Jedi, Alisha smiled shyly and then lowered her eyes to the menu again. He really was handsome. And kind and mature. Alisha thought, her heart missing a beat, her cheeks warming up. She gulped softly while reading the menu, but then regained her composure.

"Let's see what they've got" She says cheerfully. The food wasn't pricey, which was good, at least Jaleer wouldn't have to spend too much money. She looked around briefly to see if she could catch a glimpse of what other people were eating. The human and twilek were having their meal also, and it looked like they had pretty big portions. Returning her attention to the menu, Alisha speaks a soft "hmm" before putting down the menu suddenly and looking straight at the Jedi.

"Oh but first, do you want a drink? I think I will just order some water for me. I ..err never really had alcohol" And she chuckles. She knows eventually she'd like to try some, but this wasn't the right occasion for it.

 

[Richie B.]

Jaleer appreciated Alisha's kind words and could feel that she understood how he felt it was a sad and good thing in the sages opinion since someone understood where he was coming from but also it was sad to think Alisha went through something like what he did. The sage was also glad to see she had flagged down and waitress it proved she was assertive something the sage liked, add to the fact she was kind, pretty and smart or at least with machines which the sage appreciated since he was clueless when it came to machines.

The sage was thankful that the menus came since he could find some of his face behind it an hopefully cover up his cheeks that were red now, agreeing with Alisha the jedi was happy to see it wasn't that expensive. The Jedi thought maybe he could get something small or be a normal teenager an get as much as possible, but considering he wasn't the wealthiest person the Jedi wanted to make sure he doesn't use up to many credits. Hearing Alisha's question the sage put down the menu and looked at her with a small smile he chuckled and responded.

"I have not the best in my opinion but than again it was cheap, but water is a good choice I think I will have water also." Jaleer said water was something he would drink often when on Ryloth though it wasn't abundant you needed it to be able to survive on the hot planet.

"So how did you get the ship? Did you buy it or did you get it from some other means?" Jaleer said knowing that he had helped another padawan steal a ship on tatooine which belonged to a smuggler though it wasn't his best moment the sage didn't think it was a big deal.
