In Hope of a Mutually Beneficial Agreement (Order of the Grey)

[Veino Garn]

Veino checked the information and ship manifest again. The passenger vessel he had his instructed the others from the Order of the Grey to take should be landing very soon, unless something had delayed the vessel, which was not implausible. The Suarbi system could be a little touchy when it came to space travel at times, with so many different gravity fields at play. The planet's massive gravity well for one, and then the thirteen moons, not to mention ones from some of the largest asteroids. He'd heard it described as being in a very complicated harbor with a conflicting rip rides, and he no reason to disbelieve it, even though he only had the basics of piloting training down. He went through the plan once more.

He would deliver them to the meeting place where the representatives waited, council members Jace Tillian and Navo Takkoo. Two well respected members of the council, and from what he'd heard, fairly reasonable individuals. Not like, as he had heard rumor of from the Ring Defenders he'd had some contact with recently, many of the council members who were staunchly isolationist. They would need to present a tough case to convince the council of any possibility of an agreement. Once the meeting was underway, he would depart for the conclave to recount the events on Cloud City and argue their case on the home front, as well as resolve some loose ends of his own that needed tied up. Hopefully, if all went well, he would be able to return to the meeting with other council members and the Saarai-Kar to finalize the terms of the agreement. He had tried to have the meeting at the conclave, but that was one rule they would not break. No unmet outsiders were to set foot in the conclave, unless they had no objection to having their memory blocked against their will.

He could see the ship now and its landing, cushioned by repulsorlifts and hydraulic supports. He hurried towards its docking station to greet them on their arrival.

 

[Minna]

Minna awoke with the sudden jolt of the ship docking, the hood of her grey robes falling back as she flinched slightly. Frowning at such a rude awakening, the Yodaling stood up as the vessel's doors opened, allowing her to walk out. Initially her eyes were drawn to the surrounding area, slightly fascinated by the planet she had never been on before. After a few seconds of taking it in, she turned her attention to Veino, smiling. "Nice it is, to see your origins." She said, standing a metre or so infront of him.

Shortly behind Minna came William Tarin, wearing his usual leather outfit except this time with a grey cape, which was obviously to make him look smarter and more official; something he struggled at. He too examined his surroundings, then gave [member="Veino Garn"] a smile. "I've seen worse." The man said jokingly, stopping slighty behind and to the side of Minna, linking his hands behind his back.

[Alexandra Feanor]

Whistling, as always, Alexandra came off the ramp and breathed in before coming over to the others, this time in her white robes instead of a shirt and trousers. Still smiling though, as all hint of darkness in her had seemingly vanished upon return from Coruscant the week before. She had not told them why she was different, or what had happened, and whenever someone asked she merely shrugged and said, 'dont worry about it.' Now though she walked over and spoke with a calm and happy tone. "Well, it seems it is time for diplomacy, does it not?" [member="Minna"] [member="Veino Garn "] [member="Hakora Shin"]

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino smiled at them as they filtered down. It was good to see them again, especially after the events on Cloud City. Now, no matter what happened, he'd have a team of people he could trust, and depending in the situation, the entire order of the Iensaarai to work with. He didn't think there would be many tropes now. He nodded at the words from [member="Minna"] and shrugged at what Willaim said.

"As have I, with Teth coming specifically to mind." He turned around, gesturing with his arms to include the whole city, "Welcome to Yumfla, the biggest, and pretty much only, city here on Susefvi. As for origins, I grew up an eight hour speeder ride away, across the sea." He gestured in another direction, where bird cries could be faintly heard and a low thundering. He nodded to [member="Alexandra Cinthra"], "It is, yes, except, I will be practicing it elsewhere while you handle it with the delegates."

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

Alexandra stretched and shrugged at the answer she had received and grinned at her friend. "Just dont go get yourself hurt, that would be far too counteractive to this entire trip, as im sure that both Minna and Willaim here could agree with." She turned her smile on the other two council members, her expression unchanged as one could tell the mere fact of this meeting even happening with such a famed order was making Alexandra giddy as possible.

[Darth Vaildra]

Hakora stood from his seat and rubbed his eyes from fresh sleep. He grabbed the robe his sister had given him which was a silver robe like hers, but he had ripped the sleeves off and used a belt around the middle and made it look more like a silver Japanese Komono. On his back was a katana he had made in preparation for this trip. It was good to bring a gift and he made a sword. The blade was folded a thousand times and heated by the fires of a Alderaan volcano. A force user was able to do inhan things at times. The hilt was wrapped in a weave of black and white to symbolize the order. He walked up behind his sister. "So, when do we eat?"

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino frowned slightly, trying to picture the dangers involved the trip. First was navigating the city, which could be potentially dangerous, depending on who was in it and if there were any drunk speeder drivers around. Shouldn't be an issue. Then there was the speeder ride to the conclave, whine had more than its fair share of risks, since it involved speeders. Then there was the possibility of an unpleasant welcoming committee, as well as the dangers of the tests themselves,,and any potential hazards of making the armor, or possibly annoying the Saarai-Kar. He gave a grin. "No worries! Nothing really dangerous for me. The hazard is with you here in the city."

He turned around and glanced around the city, "This way, please. I'll take you to the meeti place and introduce you to the dignitaries." He turned back to them and stepped closer, speaks softly now, and he was dead serious. "One thing you must understand is the Jensaarai have been hunted by Jedi before the Clone Wars, Palpatine's Jedi hunters during his empire, and blackmailed by a rogue imperial turned pirate. The order as a whole is not very trusting and officially no longer exists. It was wiped out in the Gulag plague. Only people in the know are allowed to have this knowledge. Do not mess this up or imply you share this information outside the order. Trust me, you do not want to bring them down on your head. They will find you and you will remember nothing after your ninth birthday."

He stepped back, surveying ex street again, "We can grab something to eat a great place I used to eat at whenever I had the chance. They have great fried stuff."

[Darth Ferus]

Daichi yawned, moving up behind the group of @Veino Garn [member="Hakora Shin"] [member="Alexandra Cinthra"] and [member="Minna"] . Truth be told, he fell asleep on the ship ride over here. Now somewhat awake, he followed them at a distance, letting them talk for the most part. Until he heard fried food.

If there was one thing the man enjoyed, it was fried stuff. "Oi oi! Fried stuff! I want some!" He waved his arm furiously, running after the group to finally catch up.

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Krafurk waking up suddenly from sleep looks around groggy and tired realizing that he might of missed the rushed in a hurry to find them. Clothing him self in a Padawan Vest and Cloak. After getting dressed Krafurk looked spotting [member="Daichi"] . Once spotted Krafurk says " Hey wait, Im hungry too." Hoping [member="Daichi"] was little lost too to make Krafurk feek better. This was one of the first times he had gone out with [member="Minna"] ,[member="Hakora Shin"], [member="Daichi"], [member="Veino Garn "]and [member="Alexandra Cinthra"]. While nervous but excited at the same time Krafurk quickly catches up to his friends.

[Minna]

"I think you need to calm down, Alex." William grinned, noticing her excitement. "It's not that exciting." He lied. Infact, he too was quite excited, yet he had an odd way of showing it. He really wanted to meet the Jensaarai, and soon.

"Make haste, we should. A meeting, we have." Minna spoke, sensing William's eagerness. William sent a sly smile to Minna, before both of them stepped forward to follow Veino into the city.

[Alexandra Feanor]

Alexandra realized what she had been acting like as Willian said that and blinked before laughing with a quick nod and collecting herself, returning to the calm and collected person that most of them knew her like. Her hands moved behind her as she walked, crossed and open as she fell in beside Minna and remained silent the rest of the way to the meeting place.

[Darth Vaildra]

Hakora walked up to his sister and took her hand in his and gave a light squeeze. He smiled when she looked at him, but didn't let go if their hand. While they were walking, he waited until he could whisper to her without being heard. " Alex, you are in control of yourself, not the dark side. You are stronger than it and family is with you, blood and not. You are not alone." He didn't know details or anything about what was going on, but they had a connection in the force and a strong one. Masters and students usually did, but they were brother and sister and this created a deep, almost twin like connection. Hakora let the force surround them which made the wind pick up gently to remained her she didn't come from a weak family.

[Alexandra Feanor]

[member="Hakora Shin"]

Alexandra grinned and looked at her brother, eyes studying him before nodding to him for a quick moment before speaking herself. Her voice came out hushed as she spoke and this time her eyes found his, the golden flecks no where to be seen in her pupil or Iris. "Oh Hakora, didn't i tell you, i got rid of that corruption a little bit ago, im going to have to explain it later when we dont have business to attend to, my worry though is on you and your antics and if the Jensaari will be as forgiving as Minna is about them."

 

[Darth Vaildra]

"What am I, not stiff anymore? Do not worry about me, I know I haven't told you my reasoning, but you shouldn't worry." Hakora had a mission of his own, this world had something and due to a vision he knew he needed to find it and knew how to find it. He returned her gaze with a smile and dropped her hand as they neared the complex where they were to meet.

 

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

Catching up to the group finally Krafurk and nods his head and asks " So who exactly are the Jensaari?" Krafurk had only heard about them from Veino and others, he never was explained who they are. Krafurk scratchs his head looking at William for a second only to shortly look at everyone else.

@Veino Garn

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino stopped at a food stall, ripe with the smell of roasted meat, vegetables, and an assorted other sundry foods that were typically not fried, but still managed to come out tasting pretty good. Usually anyways. Other times, the contents were violently,ejected from the body, depending on the constitution of the eater. He slid some credits across the stand, ordering something and then stepping aside to let the others order, and galled around before shifting over towards [member="Krafurk Maris"]. "This area is to public to speak of it here. I will explain later." He raised his voice so the rest could hear. "We're early yet, and my instructions are to wait until I'm told everything is ready before moving on to the next stage of the trip."

 

[Minna]

Minna stepped aside, allowing the others to order food if they wished. Her eyes scanned the passing people, slightly surprised that such a powerful order remained so secret. William ordered himself a small snack, taking a bite while he leaned against the wall beside Minna. "Who's doing most of the talking then? Alex? We know how you like talking." He grinned, chewing his food in a slightly mocking way as he looked to [member="Alexandra Cinthra"].

[Alexandra Feanor]

"Im sorry, was that a joke i just heard as im not quite sure it came from your direction William..." She smiled back at the man, though she herself didn't even approach the food cart, opting to watch the others instead as she sat down in a nearby chair, her hands crossed on her lap. "No, i think it would benefit if we all had an imput in the situations that would come from being there, after all thats the point of not just one of us coming on this trip is it not?"

[Veino Garn]

Veino stepped aside from the group as a girl he recognized walked towards them, bag slung over shoulder and eyes hidden by sunglasses. Not the most complicated disguise, but it worked. She blended right in, almost as if she belonged there. Which, in a way, she did. Unlike the Order who stuck out almost painfully in their gray cloaks. Veino had wished he had suggested leaving them behind. Too late for that now. If anyone asked they were pilgrims of some sort or another.

She stopped and hugged him, whispering in his ear, "Everything is ready. Deliver them to the meeting and then proceed to the conclave and meet the council." She stepped back, still clutching his shoulders and examined him carefully before adding, "You're taller than when you left. How was your journey?"

"It went fairly well, thank you. What about you, Vil? How have things been here at home?" She slipped her arm in his and they began to walk away towards the building. He gestured with his head for the others to follow, but then held a hand out for them to follow slowly and spaced out.

"More of the same, you know. A few changes though."

"Really? What kind of changes?"

"Leadership changes in the club. New presidents. New officers. Nothing you won't find out soon enough though once you attend a meeting. Oh! And Roth followed in your footsteps and left the travel the galaxy."

[Alexandra Feanor]

Alexandra's eye found [member="Veino Garn "]and more importantly the woman that was hugging him as she grinned, she remained silent though as she looked at her friend being hugged by someone she assumed he had known for a long time. She did debate messing with him though with [member="Hakora Shin"] around, she wasn't so sure that teaching him a way to screw with a council member was such a good idea... she still considered it though, quite seriously too.
