A meeting of minds

[Asaraa Vaashe]

People could accuse Asaraa of being many things, but unobservant wasn't one of them. The woman glanced over at her new friend, one brow arched up at him, "Nice...but maybe not too nice?"

silence types "we try to stay on his good side, last guy who got on his bad side ended up in pieces...not pretty"he scratches his neck nervously hoping he didn't freak her out

Asaraa Vaashe

 

[Asaraa Vaashe]

"Ohhh," Asaraa looked around at the soldiers milling around the barracks a mite more nervously before she glanced back at Silence raising one of her hands. "I promise to be on my best behaviour."

[member="Silence"]

 

[Zerrak Windwalker]

silence smiles and types "well that's good and you've been good so far i'm sure you'll be fine, i just hope none o em get any ideas or ill break there arm"

[Asaraa Vaashe]

The togruta glanced around and smiled, "I'm pretty sure they'll all know to keep their grenades to themselves," she assured him, she really wasn't trying to cause a fight, not while she was on a diplomatic mission.

[Zerrak Windwalker]

silence nods and chuckles before patting her shoulder before typing "hope so"

Asaraa Vaashe

 

[Asaraa Vaashe]

The Togruta grinned back at him, "If not, well that's what I have my guardian trooper for isn't it?"

[member="Silence"]

 

[Zerrak Windwalker]

Silence grins back before typing "well its worth having something to guard"

Asaraa Vaashe

 

[Asaraa Vaashe]

Asaraa nods her head, giving the man a smile, "Well, having something to fight for does separate us from the thugs. Probably a good thing there."

[member="Silence"]

 

[Zerrak Windwalker]

silence nods as he types"buts its not always the right thing to fight for" before rubbing the scar across his left eye

[Asaraa Vaashe]

This was the second time the man had made a comment like that and Asaraa couldn't restrain her curiosity any longer. The young woman glanced around cautiously before sidling closer to the trooper, her voice cast low enough to avoid eavesdroppers, "Do you wanna talk about it?"

[member="Silence"]

 

[Zerrak Windwalker]

silence nods before typing "if you'd like" after looking around

[Asaraa Vaashe]

Asaraa looked around at the other soldiers scattered around the barracks as she shifted over to sit next to Silence on his bunk, offering the man a smile. "You've fed me, saved my life and gave me a drink, listening is the least I can do."

silence sighs before typing"when i first joined i was ordered to go to a village it was a normal sweep to check for rebels but then...my superior got hit with a rock someone threw he told me to execute the man and as i said...i follow orders my superior wasn't happy enough so he told me to kill the family so i did as for the scar on my left eye its from a scrap with fellow troops i got in the burn is from when i joined "silence looked down sadly remembering the whole ordeal

[Asaraa Vaashe]

Asaraa could feel the earlier jovial mood slipping away from her, like a wave ebbing from the shore. Hesitantly the young woman reached out to rest her hand on [member="Silence"]'s shoulder, her hands closing softly as she squeezed his shoulder. "Doesn't sound like it's been particularly easy," the woman allowed, "and it's obviously eating at you. Is there no-one you talk to about this, soldiers shouldn't be killing civilians like that. It's our job to protect them, not hurt them."

 

[Zerrak Windwalker]

Silence types"then you havent met my squad "he looks up at her with hatred in his eyes

Asaraa Vaashe

 

[Asaraa Vaashe]

The Togruta could only stare at her new friend in confusion, "Waait, if you don't like them then why not leave umm, request a transfer out of the squad or something." She stared around with suspicion, her blue eyes narrowed with suspicion, "It doesn't sound like this is the greatest of places for you."

[member="Silence"]

 

[Zerrak Windwalker]

silence chuckles "my superiors hate me that's why they put me here" his eyes soften when she looks at him and types again "sorry"

Asaraa Vaashe

 

[Asaraa Vaashe]

Asaraa shook her head, sympathy dancing across her eyes as her Lekku brushed across her shoulders. "If your superiors hate you...and you hate your squad...what're you still doing here?"

[Zerrak Windwalker]

silence typed "they give orders i follow how i was raised ive been heere since i was a toddler"silence grabs a bottle from a bunk and chugs it fast trying to keep his mind off it
