Exploring

"We trade off some fo the excess crops we grow, fish that can go since this far out some of the larger fish are able to be seen. The deeper creatures that are stronger and more dangerous. We can catch them and drag one back here, there scales go for a lot of credits, there are some of the other creatures as well as some of the bigger things. On one of the islands we have encountered a passive and shy Har-Ah-Da that we can see as it sleeps and sometimes wakes up to move around the islands. We have found some of their shells and teeth, very valuable."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat had no clue what half the creatures the woman was talking about were, but if she knew one thing, the bigger they were, the more valuable they were. Unfortunately that also meant they tended to get hunted to extinction...which meant that they were even more valuable. Yeah, these people probably made enough to survive. And possibly then some.

Junko was looking at all of it here, she was unsure about some of the creatures that might be a danger. The creatures that Junko had seen before here though and on the planet. She knew about a lot of them when she was walking and looking down at the course the padawans could use to practice the force itself with a small look on her face. "This all looks very nice and it is good you do manage to trade even if it is hidden and you don't make it known. I hope you will accept a hand to work with the Silver jedi if only in secret. We could set up for the temple to offer trade as well as some of the new equipment that is long lasting."

Kat nodded and felt it appropriate to speak, "They pay and trade fairly. They're good allies to have." Or maybe that was just the Princess. But, if the Ike was anything to go by, the rest of the SJO was very amicable indeed.

Junko was thankful for that, fostering good relations and trade, work. Working together to better improve what they are doing.... she could also get some of these fruits they were showing on the island. Stuff that didn't grow in the interior of the continent and grew this far out. The jedi master was thinking about where they stood and she looked out. "That can be acceptable, we are going to be looking to make sure everything is secure. We don't want to endanger the children but it could be something that we will be able to surprise them with food wise."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat continued listening in silence, eyes searching their surroundings. She was still surprised at how well they'd been able to make do. Not exactly on a level of poverty or technological disadvantage, they weren't at the cutting edge either. But, perhaps a small community such as this could prosper regardless of that.

Junko could see that Kat had someting on her mind but there wasn't a lot happening yet. There was more work going int what they were developing for themselves here. To show off the higher reaches and she couls ee the mountain where the tunnel came out and was guessing much like the other statues she could see that the cavern with the statue had been there. On the edge of the island and still fitting so it was like a circuit aroud them everywhere. A small look and her hands clasping together so they could keep walking through the mountains. Standing tall as the whole other side of the island came into view. "This is where most of the children do not go, there are remains from others who have come here, tried to make things on this side of the island but we have learned to stay away on our side using the natural border of the mountain."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

"What's over there?" Kat asked gazing out across the rest of the island. Nothing good she imagined. But, when and entire population refused to venture out there...well, Kat wanted to venture out there...

The larger red haired woman stood looking at it. "It is largely unexplored by us, the larger and more dangerous creatures are on that side of the island as well as several tombs and structures. An old military outpost the sith tried to make before they were torn apart by some fo the creatures, an old attempt at a second village to cultivate the land but it didn't work out well and there is a small lagoon with a couple of beached ships. We stay on our side of the island and most of the predators sty on theirs as the pathway over it rather perilous to try and get over. Cliffs and jagged rocks that will make your hands bleed."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat nodded. As much as the idea of searching the tombs and abandoned structures appealed to the woman, she wasn't as eager to meet a vicious creature that was capable of killing trained Sith. She enjoyed living.

Junko looked at Kat and there was a chance as she spoke. "Well we at least know where we shouldn't go. Can we meet any of the others in the village. I imagine they might have questions and concerns. We don't want to just be something they wonder about and come looking." Jarl gave a small look when she was looking at everything here. She was leading the way and the small farm had an old jedi there as the human male was looking at some parts of it. "This is the elder of the village."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat watched the old man as he tended to his work. She reminded him of one of those wise old elders from childhood stories. The kind who seemed completely harmless and kind, but then turned out to be a total badass when trouble came knocking. Well, if the man was a Jedi it was certain that he could take care of himself.

Junko was looking as they descended and the man spoke seeing them. "Welcome, welcome, the children have been wondering when the strangers were going to be coming around." He said it with a small grin on his face and was presenting the farm itself where the different ptches had food and everything that they could use here on the island. He had even some fresh bread with a nod towards them.

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat nodded back and smiled, silently giving her thanks. She looked at the crops that surrounded the farm, a respectable growth. She wasn't much of a farmer but, she would've guessed at a good harvest.

Junko was walking while here on the farm she could see plenty of this area of the island and how they were getting everything. There were more children moving around. Getting interest on what they had worked on, getting interest in seeing the visitors as there was an area they were being directed to. Junko helping the older man as he walked with a cane and it was large tables meant for them to get to all eat together as a community.

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat helped them all set up for their meals. She pushed her weapons out of the way, ensuring they were on safe as she moved around to push together tables and moved chairs to their place.

Junko looked at the people there as they were all getting set up and in terms of a lunch it was looking at some of the things here. She was looking to find a place her and Kat could sit as they finishes up getting all of the tables and chairs ready. It was like a small community area to sit and eat here. The others were all going down and she had a small look on her face.

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat stood next to her charge, intending to sit next to wherever she did. The people had slowly begun to fill the tables that had been set out, the whole village apparently showing up for the meal. 'Almost like a party.' the bounty hunter thought to herself.

Junko was looking at it here so that they might be able to try it, she wasn't entirely certain about the food when they were bringing it out. She had a grin on her face though seeing more of the food until she smirked. "This is very nice to see." She could see more of it for themselves when she finally arrived there. Junko touched the silverware as she spoke. "I've had family gathering likes this just everyone coming together for meals is a fun experience might be easier in a small village like this."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat sat down and politely waited for the food to be passed around, taking some for herself before passing it on to the next person. "Lucky you." the woman responded, "Family meals were nonexistent for me...and if they did happen they usually were very unpleasant."
