Vinsoth.
Umalor.


Umalor had always been a historically neutral city in the history of Vinsoth. Which is why the Jedi Order had advised the Mon and Needmo tribes, the two strongest tribes on Vinsoth, to negotiate a peace before their feud became a full out war. The two tribes agreed to meet in the markets of Umalor, were dirty and worn out slaves were separated from their families, sold to crime lords, Hutts and other miscreants. Personally Emil would want to end this disgusting practice and occupation, but she understood why the Jedi were adverse to the idea. Ending a practice that had been apart of the Chevin culture for millennia would lead to instability. Something the Sith could exploit to their advantage. Prepares after this war was over and done with.

She stood, arms crossed and eyes scanning the rooftops for any assassins. She wouldn't be surprised if either of the tribes set up snipers. Either as assurance or to eliminate their rivals. The buildings were primitive in construction, being made out of adobe that had been colored to be a pale yellow.

She was with another Jedi Knight. Who's name was Ciaran Sun. She didn't know the man, but he seemed to be nice enough. Of course, the two families seemed to be taken their time. The meeting was suppose to begin hours ago. Yet neither family had arrived. Tapping her foot, Emil began drawing to past the time-putting the finishing touches on a drawing of a man in Corellian green Mandalorian armor carrying two blasters, heat steaming off their barrels.

As she didn't trust the two families, she wore a light armored vest that would give her a good two shots worth of protection. Of course, she did sigh in relief and put away her notebook as the two families finally arrived, on opposite sides of each other of course. The two leaders, Neema Mon of the Mons and Saartha Needmo of the Needmo, were dressed in ornate robes, along with four Chev bodyguards dressed in golden armor armed with halberds.

The reason they were here was simple. A trading and land dispute. Both the Mon and Needmo said that the slave pens north of Umalor belonged to them, each side having ancient documents, so old they were in printed form, that supported their claim. If one of the families documents was a forgery, Emil didn't know. But she knew that a seemingly simple dispute was bringing the two tribes dangerously close to war.

Ciaran, for all his knowledge seeking and knack for exploration, knew little about the conflict that had arisen between these two families. Much of the intel he had heard second hand from Emil, his partner in this affair. He had never met her before, and had never expected to be sent on a mission of this kind - seeing his skills more suited for infiltration or exploratory kinds instead. It was no matter, he relished the thought of flexing his skills in this arena. He stood next to Emil, stoic, though still unsure of her. He had never been a mission with anyone, sans his former masters. He looked to Emil as the leaders of both families arrived.

Earlier, when they'd met before leaving for the site, Ciaran had made a bungle of introducing himself. As Emil walked up, he tripped over his words. He didn't realize it would be an older woman. Wait, she was a padawan?! He gave a nod of his head as she approached. "Emil, I p-p-presume? It's a pleasure to meet you." He was not immobilized by her attractiveness, but the mere thought of having to be partners with this particular woman made him return to the idiot boy he was all those years ago. He'd done his best to eliminate all emotions he deemed would lead only to the Dark side, but something tripped him here. He removed his hood, revealing an awkward smile, and a slight stain of red on his cheeks. "I'm certain we will make a great d-d-duo." He blurted out. He quickly pulled his hood back over his face...

He shook that embarrassing moment from his thoughts, as he commented to Emil. "I'm uncertain whether either side is to be trusted over the other. It appears each have motives to continue this dispute, regardless of whatever it is we 'accomplish.'" He was only speaking matter of factly, though he could see how someone might regard him negatively. Cynicism was not a trait Ciaran carried with him, though, he knew conflicts were never simply diffused with documents and flowery language. "Something is amiss, though, beyond a simple feud of families, yet I cannot place what or why."

Jade walked over to the others, Night Eyes and Echo besides her as normal. "This is gonna be interesting." She took a deep breath. "Convincing, even talking to them will be hard. I can't even get into the gates."

OOC-Gates?
Nodding to Ciaran, who was either attracted to her or a klutz. If it was the former, he was in for a nasty surprise. Considering Emil was already dating someone and wasn't the cheating type.it was probably the latter, she was probably judging too harshly. Eyeing the two families, who stared at each other for a long while for muttering a greeting. Rolling her eyes, Emil placed herself on a stand, leaning against it. The position of the stand allowed her to stop any attempts to start a scuffle.

Nodding to the new arrival, who mentioned something about 'gates'. She didn't know what the kriff she was talking about, but decided to leave her to own devices. Emil had more important things to think about.

"Welcome, I think you know your here and both agree that a war between both your families will not end well. Not to mention the loss of profits". She said, smiling.

OOC- she can't seem to get in as the tribe won't let her.
Jade gave a sigh and tried again. This time the guard let her though. She heard the other person stating the reason for being there, but would the tribes listen?

Ciaran stood there as the third member of their squad arrived. He was stoic, simply listening to Emil explain matters to the warring families. The families' representatives both seemed to be in thought - one looking like he was about to snap at the other, and the other looking as though he didn't know what to think. It was quite the scene. Neither wanted to give in to what they must have assumed was a sign of weakness. To diplomatically end, or at least halt, further feuding between two arrogant, and proud, families would potentially be seen by both members of the families and non-members as a signal that someone was lesser, one group was pathetic. That seemed to be the nature of many tribal societies.

Ciaran looked to Emil and Jade, wondering if anyone would say anything to the family representatives, or let the reps speak for themselves. He thought better of it and spoke. "If you're worried about pride, then both of you are sorely underestimating the actual problem. A feud such as this presents negative consequences for your civilization as a whole. If there is some way to -" Ciaran was stopped by Neema Mon.

"We cannot let this slide," he said in a deep, commanding voice. The Chevin man pointed a finger at Saartha Needmo. "These deplorable fiends have gone too far this time! They take what isn't rightfully their own and beyond that, they ruin the land!" He sneered as he looked at Saartha in the eyes. "You will give back what is ours! You've taken that which has been in our family for millennia!"

"Easy, guys, let's be logical here. Now, Neema Mon, what did Saartha Needmo take from your tribe?" Jade said calmly and smoothly. Night Eyes shifted besides her and Echo churred on Jade's left shoulder.

"We can start there and debate using that information."

Lightly tapping her foot as Ciaran and Jade began to speak. It was clear Saartha was to be the more....cooperative one, but that mean he wasn't lying between his teeth. Some people were very good at looking innocent while being the perpetrator to a grievous crime. So she tried to not be on Saartha's side too early. After Neema finished his rant, Emil raised a hand, making a breath motion with it.

He didn't seem to listen, as he violently thrust a document towards the Jedi.

"Here, here is my proof! A deed to the land that these whelps have stolen. So old it is in printed form!" He bellowed, allowing Emil to take it. The document....seemed to be real. There was no obvious marks of a forgery, keeping that in mind, she motioned for Ciaran to ask Saartha for any documentation he had.

"Emil, what does it say?" Jade tipped her head. She was getting a headache from the anger and chaos around them.
