Exploring

Junko was looking at where they were and it wasn't a camp or protected area but she could see where they would be able to make an area and keep it safe. Junko was focusing th force around them to obscure the two of them. Letting the force energies hide them from the sight of others. She wasn't going to ease Kat with it, she knew she mgiht not take all of the assurances from the jedi princess. Instead she was working on it and leaned against the tree picking up an apple for later just in case. "Alright, I'll leave an illusion up for a layer of protection." She sat there leaning her head against the trunk to go to sleep.

Kat nodded saying, "Sweet dreams Princess." which was followed by the crunch of her biting into the apple. The cask of wine sat next to her in the grass, vigilantly watching alongside the bounty hunter. She didn't intend to get drunk in any way while she was on watch, that was just plain dumb, but that didn't mean she wouldn't take the occasional drink.

Junko was letting her mind drift away as she went to sleep, waking up when her chrono beeped to give a small idea. So she could let Kat sleep when she was looking around with a nod of her head. "Alright, you get some sleep, the sun should be up in a few hours." There might not be a way to know where they were but the chrono was for the planet itself which made it easier and she could see the moons of the world. Junko took out one fo the apples and shined it on her robe before taking a bite. The canteen with the water there for a small sip and she was interested in seeing what else they might have to discover here. The orchard looked like it was nestled at least in some of the lower areas of the island.

Kat nodded and yawned, rubbing her eyes, red and bloodshot with tiredness. "Alright, wake me if something happens." she said, leaning her head agains the tree and closing her eyes, the light the pierced the tree's canopy disappearing behind her eyelids.

Junko gave her a nod as she was letting the woman go to sleep and she remained there looking at everything around the orchard the small box canyon. The soft glowing lanterns were a beautiful sight to behold though and it gave her a few thoughts. She could see the As-Aki flying around and glowing when after a few hours the first hints of sunlight appeared stretching across the sky and it was coming over the mountains. Junko didn't automatically wake her up but she moved to the edge of the small bubble her had created for the two of them. A little illusion zone where they couldn't be seen without skill from the outside. She could see the island more and it was very very green.

Kat began to surface from the depths of her dreams. The bounty hunter reached her arms above her head and stretched, a quiet yawn escaping her lips as she did so. Shaking her head, she wiped away the sleep from her eyes with her hands and looked around. She saw the Princess a little bit away, in what the woman guessed was meditation of some sort. She never really knew, the Sith hadn't exactly taught her that...quietly she stood and began to stretch her other limbs, not wanting to disturb the Jedi.

She could look at it and feel the force around her and here on the island itself. The sun was up in many of the places itself until she turned around and looked at Kat with a nod of her head. "Morning." She said it holding the apple and took a bite as here in the sun there was more to be seen and a few of different colors until she presented areas for them to go. Into the island and the other trees towards the sounds of waves and well she could feel a small humming in the distance.

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat nodded and greeted the Jedi in response. She walked over and took a place next to the Princess, casting her gaze across the island. She stood and listened to the rolling thunder like sound of the waves crashing against some far off shore, and watched as the clouds seemed to part before the waking of the sun. "Its quite a lovely place you've got here."

She gave a nod of her head with that, sticking around here was an option and the island certainly seemed beautiful... Though Junko had a small grin on her face. Wanting to see what they had going out and into the interior of it when the green trees opened up to some small fields and different orchards. A garden that had been made leading into some fo the deeper areas of it. She wasn't going to risk some things they might have but she pointed for Kat to some of the small areas with a shed and tools. "Someone was here or is."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat looked in the direction of the small shacks and sheds. "Think the ones who made the tunnels are the ones who made those gardens?" It was a question that Kat didn't really believe would render the answer she hoped for. Others on the island...that seemed far more likely.

"No the gardens look maintained, the tunels are old. If there was someone here still this would be a good place. THe ocean wouldn't leave salt water to ruin the ground. But it also isn't so far in you can't access it." She was walking with it and could see no people but the soil in some places was freshly turned with other parts that were harvested and drying out in the sun that they would have set up. "We'll just have to look and see if we can find anyone."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat let out a disappointed sigh, "Of course...lets just hope they're friendly." The woman began to trek her way down the path towards the distant gardens, blaster at a low ready. "How do you wanna handle this if we find someone?" the bounty hunter asked. She doubted it'd be to go in blasters blazing.

Hmm she was thinking about it.... the best way would be looking to make sure it is not a dangerous situation and be friendly unless things go really bad really fast. "Non hostile at first would be a good way to go, not a target and not someone wanting to attack them but we shouldn't be without a guard." Junko was more careful now in some cases but she could not turn away the idea for being good. She continued forward along the path that was there and the first sounds of people coming around she could see. A small river leading out towards the ocean with a large muddy area that had poles and ropes. Another area here when Junko pointed it out and some of the children who were training on it. Force leaping from pole to pole.

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat stared at the children jumping from the tops of the poles to the top of another pole. "Are...those...Jedi?" the Bounty Hunter asked uncertainly. Partially because she had no clue if that was something Jedi actually did and because how in the void did these Jedi even get here? And how had [member="Junko Ike"] not known about them? Bizarre seemed to adequately describe how Kat was feeling at that moment.

Junko was looking at the children and everything around them here. uncertain about it really. She had known there were places the jedi went, known there were places like this but the Altisian jedi were tricky at times. They had managed to hide a location from a galactic army... which required a super weapon to be built to find it. She was unsure though. "I do not know, the Altisian jedi are very good at hiding things and places. The enclave they had on Belsavis stayed hidden for centuries and took constructing a massive battlemoon to try and find it... and it still failed." The eye of palpatine was massive and nineteen kilometers as a sphere is no real joke weapon wise or soldiers.

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

"...so these guys are on our side...right?" Kat seriously hoped that these ones were on their side...blasting children did not sit well with her at all. She didn't want to get any closer either, for the same reason. She didn't know if the kids were in fact murderous little buggers, and she was definitely not about to risk it. The kids seemed harmless enough though. No dark scary garb of a Sith...at least that she could see. However, [member="Junko Ike"] would certainly know better than herself.

Junko was fairly certain that they were on their side or at least not against them as the children stopped standing on the poles and someone arrived. Standing tall with white hair in thick braids and green eyes. "Who are you." her voice came out and was full of authority as Junko could see the lightsaber with a look to her holding her hands up. "I am jedi knight Junko Ike." The jedi seemed to think about it when she was there and Junko motioned for Kat to introduce herself when they turned to look at her.

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

"Kat'Lariah Syphex...just your friendly neighborhood bounty hunter...not a Forcer by the way." she said, her grip on her carbine tightening. It was still pointed at the ground, the red headed woman not wanting to appear threatening, but she was on edge...the woman did have her saber out after all. And for the most part, bounty hunters had a pretty bad reputation...one Kat hoped wouldn't get her killed today.

The woman shrugged and while still looking at them she eased up in her body... eyes were still stern and like that of a guard saying one screw up and bam.... smack to the face with a lightsaber. "I am Grandmaster Jarl of the Altisian order. We do not make a habit of having visitors in our sanctuaries." Junko was listening and that was what she had been hoping for here at least. A lot of work, a lot of interest until she spoke. "We followed a map from the Altisian's in the archives, it led us here through the tunnels." There was a small look but the woman seemed to ease and relax. "Yes we left that in case jedi needed our aid. This island is hidden from the others, only those who know the path can find it and not get lost in the tunnels."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat's grip on the carbine when the woman mentioned that they were in an Altisian Sanctuary. No need to kill younglings today thankfully. Thebounty hunter stayed silent, deciding to allow the Princess handle the talking. Besides, [member="Junko Ike"] knew better what they were there to do. Kat was just there to make sure neither got hurt.
