The bustling city of Iziz was always a fun place to be around, the sights, smells and tastes of the Outer Rim all rolled into one neat little package. From the stalls and cafes one could experience food from across the Galaxy, it was amazing and a place that Yvain was upset he could not visit more frequently. Food was a passion of the Jedi Master one he wished to enjoy more but alas his responsibilities to the Jedi and the Galaxy came first.

The little green Jedi had made his way through the Market and into the small drinking establishment, The Bantha's End. A light stone coloured building with an eloquently designed image of the backside of a Bantha hanging above the door way which made the Jedi chuckle as he passed through the doorway. He had arranged a table with the owner a day before and the scruffy looking Ithorian pointed towards the set back booth in the corner when he noticed the tiny Jedi.

Pulling himself up onto the seat he shuffled himself round to one side giving ample room for his two compatriots who were yet to arrive, one was a fellow Jedi, one had once met upon Taris, the later a Mandalorian who he had not personally met but knew of through his connection to Jedi Councillor Voran and the fact he too had served in the defence of the city planet. They were all here to discuss the early forms of co-operation between the two sides, though their collective history had been difficult in the past, they both now faced a very real and dangerous threat coming from the Outer Rim. Perhaps with a collective enemy to focus on the two sides could reach an understanding.

Vraes would arrive on Iziz. His medical treatment after Taris hadn't been as complete as he would have liked, the Outer Rim wasn't very stocked in bacta or kolto like core or gifted with wizard healers like Yavin. The skingrafts on his body had been healing slowly, at best, though he was back in armor and back in duty.

Arriving outside the Bantha's End, Vraes would key in an alert, then another one, before entering. According to Voran, there had been a powow with the two other Jedi he was set to meet here, one he wasn't invited to. He was sure to tease her about not inviting the brute. Entering the bar, his contact wouldn't be a hard one to miss. A green gremlin type creature that had clearly been fed or put in water.

All eyes in the bar would turn to the new entry, the world of Onderon having had a long history with the Mandalorians, this was a less than ideal place to meet. Regardless, though, Vraes would do his part. Continuing on to the booth with the Jedi, Vraes would come to a stop before the table. "Master Yvain, I take it?" he'd ask. "Master Voran coming? Or is it just us and the bearded one, Master Berand." He had tried to learn the names of those he fought beside.

He knew the purpose of this meeting and it would be a very long road for the Jedi if they wanted to pursue it.

Yvain watched the hulking brute enter the bar, it was pretty easy to see that this was the man he was here to meet. Unlike his other Jedi brethren on Taris he had not had the opportunity to meet or see the Mandalorian which had helped them try and repel the Sith invasion of that poor planet.

After a few short moments of everyone looking at him they soon went back to there drinks, food and conversations leaving the Mandalorian to make his way to Yvain, nodding at his greeting he smiled. "And you must be Vraes, it is a pleasure. I believe Master Berand may be indisposed as well so we can start just to the two of us. Please take a seat." He said gesturing to the position in the booth opposite him. "Any food or drink, my treat." He offered before calling the waitress over.

Vraes' helm would scan the room once more before the harness holding his axe was unclipped and laid across the seat beside him. "Were you able to make it out on our ships? Or did you secure transport of your own?" Vraes would ask. He had spent most of the exfil and some of the time following it in recovery on the Yaim.

He would rest both forearms on the table, his hands clasping together. "If I start drinking, we'll have to do dishes tonight." The Mandalorian said with a laugh. There would be some visible discomfort to the Mandalorians movement. When the waitress arrived, Vraes would glance over to her. "Just water for now.. or a fruit tea, if you have it."

Once she took both of their orders and departed, his visored gaze shifted back to Yvain. "So Master Jedi.. I'm sure I could guess the point of this meeting, but I would rather hear you voice the purpose."

Yvain's exit had been rather pedestrian compared to his compatriots, after leaving the scene of his fight the Jedi had made his way to the undercity and a rather nice noddle and toad bar. The Jedi had spent about a day hiding out/eating whilst the major part of the invasion was finished, before sneaking away onboard an outbound freighter, the joys of being small. "I was able to secure my own thank you. Though I left a little later than the rest of you."

The waitress arrived and the hulking Mandalorian ordered some tea which made the Jedi Master laugh a little. "Corlamon Water and do you have any frog legs?" "Yes, fried, boiled or steamed?" "Fried always fried." Yvain replied with a big smile before turning back to Vraes.

"Straight to the point, makes things easier. I will speak plainly, the Jedi are currently to weak to fight the Sith head on. I also happen to know that the Mandalorian Clans although growing are in a similar position. I know our two groups have had some rough times in the past. But I am hoping we can work on something mutually beneficial for the future?"

"All the more power to you then. I left some men on Taris to hold parts of the Undercity. A handful, but they know how to blend in and are waiting to be used to retake the planet." The Mandalorian would say after the lady departed. He would then reach to up to remove his helm and set it on the seat beside him. Faint burns were seen on his neck, peeking from beneath his underlay.

"Many of the Clans are fools and don't think the Sith won't try to inhabit our worlds. But the Coalition I represent probably has the most unified strength between them and the Iron Skin Resistance. My people have been too displaced for far too long they have lost sight of who they are. We hope that liberating Concord Dawn and expanding our influence on the Yaim will invite more to our cause." he would pause when the waitress returned and took his tea from her. "Vor'e." he would then take a sip and wince before setting it down.

Once she left again he would speak. "That said, our disdain for the Jedi is... deep. As well as the Sith. We just couldn't have them expanding too close, but it didn't matter. Taris betrayed all of us. The man you want to impress is Srucayr. He is the de facto leader of the Coalitions operations and has ties to many other Clans. Maybe if Jetii helped us out with some of our needs, he would be inclined to aid you in return. After all, he made the first step by sending me to aid in various situations."

Even though the old hatreds ran deep he was hoping that the fact they had not been at war since before Yvain was born would have eased some of the old wounds the Mandalorians kept deep inside. Though from what Vrases was saying that did not seem to be the case. "Then I hope that I can someday soon meet this Srucayr." Yvain replied. "And please send my thanks to him in allowing you help in all these endeavours be they victorious or not. What help do you require, we ourselves are limited in both our resources and manpower. I would dare say that though you are splinted more men and women fly under your banner than our own."

The water arrived and Yvain took a good long sip of the sweetened mixture, a hint of musky herbs drifted through his nose. "I can at least get your recognition, I can convince the Council to acknowledge you as rightful controllers of Concord Dawn and from there I can request similar of the Republic and Free Worlds Alliance. Having such significant political collateral will protect you not only from external threats but allow for more people to flock to your banner."

Vraes would glance briefly out the window. "I am sure that one of these days, you will." the berserker would say as his gaze shifted back to Yvain. "Srucayr is trying to find our kin that have been touched Hod Ha'ran.. the ones with the Force. There are Clans of old that went to worlds strong in the Force, to evade their own kind trying to kill them. We do not know worlds these are, but if you can discover worlds that fit the criteria, we can search them. Beyond that, if needs arise, we can discuss it. Perhaps.. with time, some of you may get to meet the War Priest and eventually, see our strongholds.. I am to be reassigned.. but I will ensure you lot meet my replacement and that they maintain the same quality and effort that I had."

He would remove a small flask from within his chestplate and open it, before pouring some of the contents into the tea. Lifting the glass to his lips, he would take a pull from it. When Yvain spoke on freeing Concord Dawn from the F.W.A, his eyes would flick to the Jedi sharply. "Perhaps you could do that for the Mandalore Sector as a whole? But only once we are positioned well enough to defend ourselves. I am sure the Sith will try to attack the moment we announce our independence and am sure that neither body will aid us if attacked."

It seemed that complex movements were happening behind the scenes within the realm of the Mandalorians, he would need to keep his eyes and ears out for them. "Of course, I see no issue in that. Though I have to warn you, if the succession of the Mandalore Sector is mired in bloodshed. I doubt I will be able to get support from the Council, let alone the Republic and Free Worlds Alliance." The council were on nervous footing when it came to putting the noses of anyone in the galaxy out of line, they seemed to only want to make an effort when it was clear which side was in the wrong. Concord Dawn could be easy but a whole Sector would be hard.

"I would ask, if we support you in such matters, what support could you offer us in return?"

"The Mandalore Sector is filled with pirates and warlords. If there was unified government, I could see your concern or even governing parties. But there isn't. We haven't been whole enough for such a thing in a very long time. So if the Council should know, there are freedom fighters in the sector who want their independence. The Sector itself was claimed by the F.W.A, but it has no representation." Vraes would say as he leaned forward. "We would continue the support we have already been giving. I could see if those that fought on Taris would join into a unit to be used by the Jedi. In time, maybe, that thirty could turn to three hundred."
