Soon she would have some answers, at least she hoped. The last time she spoke with a Jedi teacher, she felt like she had more questions than answers she was seeking; she had some, but not enough and because she did not wish to continue down the Jedi path, she felt like things abruptly stopped. She couldn't understand why he couldn't have taught her more, did it necessarily mean she would have to be a Jedi? She did not think so, just enough to help her strengthen her gasp on the door that seemed to keep swinging open. It wasn't her abilities were appearing on impulse, she was finding the more she practice to control herself, as the holocron taught her, the more incredible things she could do. Incredibly, dangerous things.

However, when did it stop? Did it stop?

The Jedi would know, they had to know.

Her thoughts had clearly drifted as the anticipation to arrive to the Jedi world of Ajan Kloss kept creeping back into her consciousness. She tried to focus on other things such as organizing her tool box to centering herself in the Force. However, as she focused on the latter, there was an uneasiness, a warning, like the rough waves of Corellia's arctic oceans were pulling her out to sea.

Quick! Thalia grab my hand!

Thalia gasped as she opened her eyes as she heard the warning chimes of the hyperdrive, alerting her they were exiting within seconds. She jumped to her feet in urgency, she was not supposed to arrive for another couple hours as she glanced at the timer and the chrono. Before she could override the system, the ship's emergency systems activated, thrusting the ship out of hyperspace and jetting Thalia backwards from the momentum. The alarms quieted as Thalia groaned, rising to her feet to look out the viewport to the unrecognizable world. The girl sat down and looked at her coordinates, finding the situation odd and began to enter in the coordinates for the Jedi again, however, the computer rejected them, in fact it seemed her entire hyperdrive was malfunctioning. "Kriff."

She guided her ship down the the rocky, terrestrial world, circling the space port before finding a place to land and to get some answers about where she was at and how she could get some parts to fix her ship. There were only a few huts that lined a beaten road, out of what she could see, the one that looked like it had some life was the pub and all she could do was scoff as she seemed to have found a smuggler's haven from the rest of the galaxy. She was not enthusiastic about being ripped off for some every day parts.

He let the man fall as the blade entered his lung, then burned it's way to the man's heart. Death was sudden. Painful but quick. He could feel as man slip away and rejoin the the force. The man's vessel now empty, he carried the body to a an old growth tree. Moments later, he set the man down near the roots. Concentrating, he stretched his hand and arm out. Took hold of the tree in the force, and lifted it, roots and all. With his other hand, took the man by the collar and slid him into the hole below the tree. Then slowly lowered the giant plant. Sealing away his kill.

His task done Castus took a breath. A deep inhale into his nose and slowly out of his mouth. He looked around, only now realizing the sun had slipped away, leaving long shadows all around. The sky rumbled, the sound of a ship bursting from atmo.

Castus looked upward and searched all around, until he could see it. "freighter ? Perhaps another smart mouthed pirate ?" He smiled and then looked back to the tree. "Perhaps a friend of yours ?" He asked, expected no answer of course. Then he returned his attention to the ship as it circled and then drifted into the space port.

He didn't know yet why, but he could feel a ripple in the dark side. He couldn't put his finger on, but something, or rather someone, was on that ship. Knowing full well there was only one watering hole on this rock, Castus started to make his way to the pub.

It was nightfall when she exited her ship, have contemplating to just stay on board until sunrise since the only place that looked like it was still open was probably the only place one could get a hard drink within a thousand parsecs. On the plus side if there were anyone with parts liquoring it up, perhaps her sweet talking could get her a reasonable price on parts. She checked to make sure she had her blaster at her side anyways.

Her steps seemed to be swallowed up by the night and the deeper she entered the small port, the more she felt uneasy. Uncertain of what the feeling was stemming from, she quieted her thoughts about being in a new place and if trouble stirred with the locals, well, she would be able to handle herself. However, that uneasiness was something more than nerves, she felt caution and her steps slowed as she approached the pub.

Don't let it scare you.

The voice returned and Thalia eyes narrowed, in self protest, "I'm not scared." she mouthed to herself as she entered the pub, immediately met with the whistles of drunks. Just annoyed? Just annoyed now. She met the voice in response.

Thalia went up to the counter, drumming her fingers on the wooden ledge for a moment before needing to yell out at the bar tender who seemed to be preoccupied by jokes than service. He did not say a word only letting Thalia speak, "Who here is selling parts? I need them for my ship." she more demanded than asked. The bar tender chuckled and started to walk away.

"Not until sunrise, lass!"

Her shoulders dropped with disappointment even though she was certain herself she would not get parts until morning.

...call him back...
