She watched his posture change and made a face people she busted out laughing, she held her sides before stopping after a minute and held a hand up

at ease in not your average queen, I don't care how you set, you only set like such if it is addressing me in front of my council or in a meeting which we are not....as for the jedi part meh, wouldn't call myself one I just use the force and have mastered it

She said and sat nack and gave a chuckle shaking her head gently, that was a first for sure, she waved her hand at his offers as she gave a kind smile

no need you might need it...however....does get lonely time to time at my house and when I go do mercenary work...i could use a partner...hows that sound for payment....i can guarantee half of the cut each time hell I'll pay you even

She offered to him, she looked to the r4 unit again as she smiled and looked back at the flashing lights

are we hearing the planet?

 

[Avin Starfire]

Avin, slumped back down into his chair and looked over the consoles.

"Yeah were about 10 minutes out, just changing onto the last hyperspace lane now."

Avin spun his seat back round to face Stardust "If you'll excuse me, im gonna go back and change into something less, um covered in blood. Ill think over your proposal while I do."

He spun his chair round and stood up making his way back to the rear cabin. It took a few minutes before he came back out to the cockpit again.

He smiled nodded towards Stardust and sat back down. "I think I will take you up on that business offer. Though it might be a while until im back up to full strength."

"30 seconds till hyperspace exit, stand by."

The ship shuddered and they were all shook forward as the ship dropped out of hyperspace. Before them was the planet of imahalyan.

perfect only ten minutes

She looked over to him as she gave a nod and watched him leave, she looked forward...this group did trouble her more then it should...they had some motive...she wasn't about to let them hurt her people however..she looked back to avin as she turned

no problem I'll make sure you get perfect medical attention, food, and water, in fact after we land first place we are going to is the medics

She looked back as they rocked then came out above the planet...a beautiful blue...green...and occasional tan of the rocky places and deserts

well here is home for me

A traffic control came over the radio, stardust held a hand up as she spoke

this is queen raxis, I'm bringing in a friend clear out private docking back 1-1 and 1-2

A minute of silence before they confirmed and gave the clear

 

[Avin Starfire]

"That'd be swell" Avin replied

Avin stared out through the view screen. The world was a beautiful sight and a welcomed one furthermore. The expanses of green and blue brought about a courteous change of scenery to What Avin was used to.

He allowed Stardust to give the access codes and clear them for landing. As he got his coat and hat ready.

"Oh yeah you will want this back" Avin said, sticking out Stardust's westar blaster.

She gave a smile as she made sure everything got through, she looked back to him and gave a smile as she shook her head

a gift let's call it, besides I got another set I can use

They landed in hangar 1-2, stardust stood and got out first as the ground crew came up, she waved them off as she looked around the place

alright come on let's get ya to medical

She said hopping off and landing on her feet waiting for him, when hed jump she'd lead him to a hospital and get him checked in quickly and to a room

 

[Avin Starfire]

Avin sat in the shining white hospital room. His hospital bed facing parallel to a window displaying the spanning continent below. They had probably been at it for about four or five hours now and most of Avins pain had relented. Hell he had even managed to squeeze a couple hours of sleep in during his time under treatment. His hair had been cut and washed as well as his beard shaved off completely.

He had taken time to think over the past several days. He was still confused, how or why this undercover order would care about him. Was it true that his father was related to this or had they just been targeting anyone and tapping their searches on the library. Even more worrying was the fact that they were sith in the old capital, the streets of corruscant normally flood with Jedi how had this group managed to build such a large facility and keep it hidden from any authority? And then there was his new partner. The queen of the planet he now resided on. He owed her his life and yet she wanted nothing in return but a partnership. She was probably the best thing to happen to him in a good couple years. This could be his break to not only track down his father but also wondered whether she would check for all the force stuff in him also. He tried to squash the wishful thinking as the doctors entered back into the room for his next set of treatment.

Avin awoke the next morning feeling as good as new. As he looked around the room he saw a fresh set of clothes placed on a table next to him, though they were new and didn't belong to him. He got dressed and ate the food left on the side for him, it tasted a whole lot better than his usual low budget dry rations. The fresh meats and breads gave off a glorious smell. He finished up and made his way out of the room looking for someone who could direct him to his personal clothing and equipment. After all white robes didn't exactly suit him.

She left him in the expert care of her doctors, she left and went to her house and to her personal office, she sat down in thought tapping her cheek, this...sith group was hunting people down....though for what reason she wasn't sure but some of her people had been connected to it

As the hours past she could soon only think of her new partner she had....the group obviously wanted him for some reason...why she didn't know at all...however he was a kind man one she... definitely wouldn't mind keeping around....

She went to bad after checking on her child then went to sleep, she woke up as she made her way down to the hospital to check on him, she had new clothes sat out and the old ones thrown away, she talked with the head doctor, then as if she sensed him she turned her head to look and smile as she walked over

good to see you up again how do you feel?

 

[Avin Starfire]

"Well I feel that better would be the understatement of the century. Your doc's did a real good job at fixing me up."

Avin looked over at the senior medical team and nodded in their direction. His attention then moved to Stardust. Her mannerism's were calmer and her appearance was more regal than before. After all she was the queen. Still it was good to see what felt like his only friend in the galaxy right now.

"How are you? After all you did most of the hard work back there"

[member="Stardust Raxis"]

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

hahaha well I said I'd get the best to help you and I try not to lie much

Indeed she was calmer and her appearance more relaxed, she reached out with the force then stopped, he was definitely force sensitive. She smiled

me? I'm ok just some high calorie food and sleep and I'm ready for another round

She said and laughed before patting his shoulder

now I'm sure you want to get dressed in your own clothing, not to mention i promised you a drink and good food and I happen to know a place...if you want
[member="Avin Starfire"]

 

[Avin Starfire]

A small smile crept across the corners of Avin's mouth.

"Don't worry about the clothes I'll come by and pick them up later. Besides I could probably do with a style change, who knows how long I have kept that get up." Avin laughed

After a few moments thinking over it Avin realised it felt relieving to not be wearing his weighty chest plate and heavy leather coat.

"I'd love to, I haven't had good drink in almost a week now and I couldn't let you break a promise now could I?"

[member="Stardust Raxis"]

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Avin Starfire"]

She looked to him with a sweet smile briefly that changed into a normal smile as she gave a nod

style change is usually good I mean for me I've only seen you in one outfit hahahah so can't really say if I notice a difference

She gave a bigger smile and looked away with a small almost shy chuckle? One may have hard telling, she looked back up and waved him to follow

ok well follow me then

She said as she started out and onto the street, she was greeted by a few people as she bowed and said hello, she contiujed down the street

you know I'm not gonna lie I am quite curious about you, your force sensitive, extremely for that matter, not to mention this group that had you

She said then thought and waved her hand

but lets ignore them rught now is the time for rest and relaximg

 

[Avin Starfire]

He shrugged he almost felt out of place here yet some how he had finally found someone who looked out for others, and past the bureaucracy of the Alliance or the Jedi orders. She reminded him of the people he had met at lotus, yet it seemed they also shared similar ideas on how to help the galaxy.

"Uh... Yeah sorry" Avin was caught off guard whilst staring for what could have been awkwardly too long as he pondered. "Right behind you!" and he set off to catch up with Stardust.

He caught up as they exited through the main doorway, Avin stood awkwardly behind what he remembered was the queen within this world. Talking of the world Avin stared off into the distance distracted by the vibrancy and brightness of Imhalayan. The air was clearer and the sun actually touched street level in stark contrast to Corruscant or Bespin where he had spent almost the last 6 months running supplies between. here in the peach capital of the world even the air had a sent of sweetness and freedom to it.

He continued alongside her as she spoke. Her mention of the force made him think more into what all this meant. He had never been a believer in ancient religions or fancy sabre weapons. Though after his encounter on corruscant he could not deny their effectiveness. Force sensitive? That was what Elijah had told him about during a set of drinks on Monastery, something to do with his connection to the force.
Avin would pry deeper once they had reached their destination.

"Yeah well, you know what they say; There is a distinct lack of peace for those in our trade." He laughed and carried on walking alongside her.

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

not gonna lie but that is a real as the truth gets

She commented on what he had said, they didn't go far, they arrived at a nice little cantina, in which was to say it was very cleaned and seemed to not have any shady figures in it, she led them to a seat as many greeted her before she got to a corner seat and sat down

order what you like

When he looked at the menu....hed see a wide selection of drinks most of the specials being a peach or fruity fype...as for food a wide variety would show as well, seafood, steak...and what you'd usually find

[member="Avin Starfire"]

 

[Avin Starfire]

Avin skimmed over the menu. He could smell the food being cooked and grilled not far away in the cantina's kitchen. He had always loved seafood. Though spending most of his time on ships or in the cities Avin's main encounter was fish pastes and frozen steaks.

He Smiled and looked up to the drink section. He failed to really recognise many of the drinks on the menu, so he was feeling adventurous and decided to let his new partner choose.

"I'll take the Nerf stake with the grilled shrimp and vegetables please."

"And for drink ill take whatever you recommend." Avin turned to face [member="Stardust Raxis"] as he spoke.

 

[Stardust Solus Skirae]

[member="Avin Starfire"]

She gave a smile as she closed the menu down and looked to the waitress

the usual and two peachy ales

She nodded an cleft to get everything ordered, star looked over to avin and spoke

you'll enjoy the drink I have it offmten in fact keep a tank of it back at my house, now then I can tell your curious...so I'm open to questions

She said in a cheerful voice

 

[Avin Starfire]

Avin sat in silence for a few seconds, his face returning to its normal sterner set as he concentrated on the topic at hand. He brought his dark brown eyes up to make contact with her's.

"I guess I have to ask first of all. How did you end up queen of a planet? I mean did you inherit? It seems you couldn't have taken it by force and still have such a peaceful and content population. I mean Imhalayan had never even come to my attention before."

"Secondly, you were curious about me? and I understand the whole business with the prison, well kind of, but you were saying something about the force." He paused "I'm... not exactly an expert when it comes to that stuff so you may need to explain it to me."

She chuckled at his first question looking into his eyes as she looked away briefly remembering that day...

five years ago....in about...5 days....i was tracking a missing friend who usually would run supplies uhh smuggling, he ended up getting caputred...he managed to send message out to us...us be me and my friends he considered family....we tracked him to the planets moon via the coordinates given to us...we needed up fighting through the prison to get to him...after that we found out that a imperial dictatorship was ruling the planet...we planned a attack for about a month before we assaulted the planets capital...

Her eyes went off as she remembers the battle...the blaster fire all around...the civilians that took up arms and fought, the explosions...it seemed to glass her eyes over before she spoke again

we got to the capital and found the dictator held up on the now council building...we fought through it and I ended up fighting and killing him...after I stayed around to help rebuild...when it came time to assist the people in finding a leader...then chanted my name...queen raxis....the emerald dragon of imahalyan...i realized this is what they wanted and I took the mantle up..and the planet has lived peaceful ever since then

She took a minute to close her eyes and rub them...recalling the memories hurt...seeimg all the blood she'd spilled...it was something she hated

you have the potential to use the force...the force is...what connects everything within the galaxy..and certain people can manipulate it...like you saw how I did..without the force i would probably of had to stop every corner....at its simple use one can move a object and let it fall...at its strongest one can lift things twice hell even three times their size if not more...but it takes lots of training to do so

 

[Avin Starfire]

Avin say her reaction within regards to the first question "I'm sorry if it was sore subject, i didn't realise. But im glad you were able to bring peace. No matter what it seems that you have done more good here for the people than anyone by the sounds of it."

As he finished the waitress came over placing the drinks on the counter in between them. Avin picked his up and moved it forwards to clink glasses with Star's. He he nodded his head and smiled before taking a sip. He wasn't expecting the level of sweet and sour that he encountered. The fermented peaches let off a natural sugary taste, yet the aftertaste rushed up to take Avin's taste buds hostage before slowly the effect relieved leaving a fine taste within his mouth.

"What about you? I'm sure you have some questions and we may as well be upfront if this partnership is to work."

She shook her head

I've had 19 years devoted to military work and or mercenary work, I've learned to live with it

She smiled as she picked her glass up and let him clink his to hers, she took a sip as she gave a smile, tasted just as good as it always has been, she looked over to him

I want to know about you...liek you you...and mostly why the group was interested in you

 

[Avin Starfire]

Avin nodded "My full name is Avin Starfire. I joined the Alliance military academia system at about fourteen. I grew up until that point in youth gangs around Kuat. It took me until I was 18 to gain my commission in the navy and I became a frigate warfare officer. I served around the fleet for about six years. I saved up my pay and took all the skills I had learnt from the Alliance and left at 24. I bought my ship and started running freight. I eventually started smuggling and bounty hunting to pay for the next meal."

Avin Looked up as the waitress started to approach with two dishes.

"Eventually, I got in with a bad lot and had to find a way out. So I started volunteering with a group of charity workers on Monastery. They showed me that hope still existed in the galaxy. It was there that I decided that I may go and look for my real family. My mother dies when I was young. Yet my father left us at birth. So I was on corruscant and went to the library to look up any other Starfire's. Next thing I remember I awoke in a cell and I think you know the rest."

The waitress moved to set the two dishes on the table.
