Psychopathic.
Irritable.
Unpleasant.
Anti-social.
These were all great ways to describe one Jorath Baylor and yet on this day, against his own preferences, he would add another word to this list.
Dependable.
When Jorath had promised his partner and friend a vacation following what could be described as one of the single worst missions that either of them could ever have hoped to be involved in, he had meant it and upon arranging the trip, he would prove himself to be something of an above average listener.
Lillieth would have preferred to be on a beach on Corellia? That was fine. All it took was a few calls to be made and a large sum of credits to be paid (which aside from a suit of armor he commissioned and a modest sum for hi smother, he never spent) and the Crusader had booked a destination away from the worries of the Sith Empire and it's crusade against terrorists, rebels, and the Jedi... Except for you know.. The fact that the two had carried out an operation in which they murdered countless Gungans, executed a terrorists, and broadcasted their faces across the galaxy.. But this was a beach! So in his mind he had done exceptionally well and he wouldn't hear otherwise.
As their shuttle touched down in front of the rather ornately designed beach house which he had rented for them, Jorath would patiently disembark from the shuttle, carrying any and all luggage simply because.. he was... him and it was sort of expected. Of course once said luggage had been deposited safely in the rental property, he would step outside into the bright sun, finding it curious in that instance how pale he had become... He really did need to get out a bit more.. Focus... Focus.
And there they would stand, on a private section of one of Corellia's famed Golden Beaches, one of the wonders of the core worlds and something that he thought would properly make up for what he had done when he signed them up for the mission that had taken from a jungle to a chapel along with earning both of them a few injuries which were admittedly a little less than pleasant but that wasn't on his mind now.. What was on his mind.. Other than the fact that he hated beaches mostly due in part to the sand that he had spent most of his childhood around, was the fact that he was almost certainly due some praise.
"So... Pretty good? Am I right?"
It had better be good, at least he thought. It had taken him from having a rather significant bankroll to nearly being back to where he had started from.. Ah the problems that came from pairing up with rich girls. Oh well. It'd probably be worth it just to have a situation where Lillieth had NOTHING to be unhappy about.. Not even as someone far off in the densely forested regions of the forest was watching the two of them, completely outside of the range of conventional detection... But surely that couldn't be a problem.. At least not immediately... Right?
