Knocking on Forbidden Doors

[Seo Linn]

The Force guided Seo's life and it had taken her to many places. Now it took her to First Order territory. Being one to keep track of what planets she visited, there was no name for this one that she could find. However, it was near Lothal. That would have to do for her record keeping until a proper name could be provided.

Her ship was unmarked and carried no significant indicator that she was Jedi. A simple lightsaber on her hip that could potentially even belong to a Ren. She had studied the lay of the land and would do her best to fit in with the people. That was what her people were good at.

Adopting their attitudes, accents and how they moved, Seo was able to blend in easily. Nobody dared question her and now she walked the streets as if she belonged.

A cloak covered most of his head as the former Sith looked down the road, so far the Alliance affiliated Mirialan had managed to avoid First Order contact, both Ren and the usual storm trooper, but each day he stayed in their territory the more condense the enemy troops would become. Sooner or later ID check points would come up and travel would be restricted. He needed a way off the planet, but one he could trust and one that could get him far away from First Order occupied territory.

Though it was probably uncalled for he may have to steal a ship of some kind to get out, only problem then would be any patrols and the fact such actions would make him a criminal, a title that could get him arrested in any system, regardless of who controlled it. No Yuvie needed to find a willing ship captain, someone who was able to transport a rouge agents off this world an somewhere else, anywhere else as long as it wasn't First Order of Galactic Alliance space.

Giving one last glace he decided to make a move, spilling out of the alleyway and into the streets, keeping his head and eyes down each step, not so much if people recognized him, but a Miralan was not a common sigh out here and any attention could lead to unwanted guests. Only problem with the strategy, it was hard to see were he was going, Yuvie constantly having to use the force to detect and avoid bumping into people.

The Force was mysterious and Seo didn't fully understand its guidance, but she followed it. Leading her to walk the streets of this planet, she looked around and stopped near the exit of an ally.

A person came out of it with his head covered and hiding. This caused him not to see clearly where he was going and when he turned, he bumped directly into her. Attempting to catch him if he started to fall, Seo reached her hands out to provide him some stability. When she touched him, she knew he was why she had been called here.

Whatever the issue was, it would be her duty to help him.

The bump was unexpected, though not due to himself not seeing the person in front of him with the force, but to more the seemingly light side aura coming front them. It had bee a slightly surprise, but enough to cause Yuvie to hesitate a bit causing the run in, though thankfully what he could see was a women easily supported his weight before a tumble could take place. "Um, sorry you caught me off guard... you, you are different, your aura, why has someone like you come here"?

Was this another Jedi fleeing the First Order? No that would not make sense, her signature was not around before, had she landed on the planet? That only left more questions though there was one thing for sure, the blonde girl in front of him was no danger, but could be of help, hopefully. "Again I am sorry but I must be getting off world quickly, no doubt you know what people control this planet, you are a Jedi or lightsider of sorts no? would you have some place I could reside and hid for the time being? Being out here any longer then necessary will just complicate things".

[Seo Linn]

There was no reason to hide her alignment, even if this was First Order territory. She felt Jedi were able to travel freely wherever they were needed. The call of the Force lead her here and that was because of this person. Standing up and look at him, Seo listened to what he had to say. The pleading in his voice and that nudge from the Force told her she needed to help him.

"I was called here."

A woman of few words, but it gave a small answer to his question.

"A Jedi Knight. I am aware of whose rule we are under and am not concerned. Follow me."

Turning around to head back in the direction she came from, a way off the world waited for him on her ship. If he trusted and followed her.

[Iturizu Yuvie]

Called? well it would not be the first time the force did something to save his life, it seemed the all powerful entity always had a trick up it's sleeve to help the Mirialan get out of any scrap. Still it didn't make this meeting seem any lest strange, not that he was going to ask, this women was offering help and he needed it, though perhaps she would need to be a little more careful in the future, the force can't protect you against everything.

"Very well I trust you to lead the way, though I will say this now, I have in mind more then to just get off world, but the detail can wait until I know we are away from prying eyes and on what ever ship you have". Actually what ship did this Jedi have? hopefully it wasn't a single seat start fighter, that would be awkward buuut, if she was called here it would make sense to have something with carry room. With a small smirk the former Sith trailed behind the Jedi women, cloak fluttering in the wind, ground crunching under the heavy armor boots worn by the warrior.

No names had been exchanged, but for some reason, Seo didn't think it was odd. Those would come in time.

"Understood. Once we get to my ship, we will be able to speak freely."

Still not bothering to hide her calling, she walked confidently through the crowds. She did make herself act like those around them. Confident in her movement, she avoided running into any other people or calling any unwanted attention to them.

Reaching the spaceport, she waved them through reception and then onto her ship. It was a simple freighter with no sign on it saying who or what type of person it belonged to. Registration would lead to a family on Lorrd which was in Sith Territory.

"Please make yourself comfortable. I am Seo Linn."

[member="Iturizu Yuvie"]

 

[Iturizu Yuvie]

Yuvie just replied with a nod, falling in behind the Jedi as they moved through the crowd, the two being quite different to each other. On one hand he was silent and hiding, using what force powers he had and basic stealth knowledge to stay hidden within the crowd, on the other had the women seemed to merge with the people, almost becoming apart of those walking past. If things went well perhaps some sort of teaching could be arranged, in this galaxy learning how to blend into any group of people was a very useful skill.

In time he too layed eyes on the freighter that appeared to be the ship of use, the Mirialan letting out a small sigh as they entered the ship, pulling his hood down and relaxing for a bit. "Uh thank you, quite the homey little craft you have, oh and I am Iturizu Yuvie it is quite nice to meet you here Miss Linn".

[member="Seo Linn"]

 

[Seo Linn]

Once it was clear to Iturizu that Seo meant no harm and he had relaxed a bit on her ship, he introduced himself. Giving his name and stating her ship was rather honey, she gave him a bit of a smile.

"It should be. This little craft has been my home for a few years now. A pleasure to meet you as well. Where are you headed?"

There wasn't yet a question from her as to why he was trying to leave First Order space, but only where he was going.

"You are welcome on my ship for as long as you need it."

[member="Iturizu Yuvie"]

 

[Iturizu Yuvie]

A few years, seemed this women was quite the experienced traveler, at least those were the types that tended to make a freighter their permanent residence. It was also clear that it held quite a bit of sentimental value to the warm smile she gave him hinting to it rather clearly. "Headed, well to be honest I am not sure, the Alliance is gone, the Silver Jedi though friends is not an order I think I can join since I am a Sith and the Confederacy I have bad blood with".

Perhaps the ORC but that seemed much to close to the First Order for comfort, he'd honestly rather be as far from them as possible, facing down hordes of penal troops with explosive collar on their neck was not a very welcoming site. "I am grateful for the hospitality before joining my first 'Force Order' I traveled quite a lot with my family, merchants we were, kind of nice to be back in a freighter".

[member="Seo Linn"]

 

[Seo Linn]

"I belong to the Silver Jedi and from what I know...if you wanted to try and change the path you are on, then you would be welcome."

She listened to the brief story of her guest and nodded. It wasn't a life she knew anything about but knowing he had travelled a lot gave her a good idea on some things. He would know more or less what her ship could or couldn't do.

"So you need passage back to the Confederacy?"

Her previous question hadn't exactly been answered so Seo made a guess. Maybe it was the wrong one but an answer was needed before a course could be set for them.

[member="Iturizu Yuvie"]

 

[Iturizu Yuvie]

"That is the thing, I want to continue being a Sith, not that I intend to use my powers for bad, I have accepted the light side of the force over the dark but I still follow the code of the Sith". Hence why she was referred by many as a light Sith, a name he didn't know if it was an insult or a commendation... or both depending on the person.

"The Confederacy", true they did accept Sith, though his past affiliation with the Galactic Empire and their own dark side force order did not site well with him. Ture they did good work and were not like the Empire as a whole but there where still many worlds within their sphere of influence that were. The Enteral Empire as the Ancient Eye now called themselves were just among many worlds in the the CIS that were overly totalitarian and brutal. "I would rather avoid then for now, but a world over in that area of space, perhaps beyond Narr Shadda would do just as well, still no need to rush over there right away, I'd not want to make you into a taxi service".

[Seo Linn]

The Jedi gave no reaction to what Iturizu said about remaining sith. She had worked for a few years with some sith and not all of them were truly evil. Their code did not say they needed to be evil it was just most ended up going that way. A need to gain power and go to any ends to break those chains they had were what caused them to go evil. Who was she to condemn the choices a person made? Through her own life, Seo had made a great many mistakes. When she made them now, she corrected what she could and moved on.

Having only a few interactions with the Confederacy, when her guest said he wasn't to avoid them, all Seo did was blink her eyes. Setting a course for a small planet within what would have been Hutt space, the real space around them turned blue as they went into Hyperspace.

"It will take a few days to get to where I set course for. There is no hurry."

[Iturizu Yuvie]

He gave the Jedi a short nod, "thank you for the ride, i guess I should relax and also clean off, haven't really had the luxury of a proper hotel for a while, does this ship have a refresher I could use"? By now the mans robes being quite tattered and covered in dirt, most from the main battle he had fought a few weeks ago in addition to keeping away from any law tormentor. "Perhaps in time I may join either the confederacy or the Jedi, but for now I'd rather keep my distance and sort things out for myself, for the last 5 years I've been constantly jumping ship to one organization after the other, I feel as if I need a short rest for a while". His life had been rather confusing, from a rouge Sith to a Imperial Inquisitor, to a Rebel cell operative, to a Galactic Alliance spy, right now all Yuvie wanted to do was go back home and put those thoughts and experiences behind him.

Before retiring to the bathroom he gave one last question to the Jedi rescuer, "I know this would be a strange question to ask, but would you also happen to have a change of clothes, these old robes no longer fit me due to... physical changes I have under gone". "Only something simple like maybe a spar robe, but if not it is okay, I can just wear my armor".

[member="Seo Linn"]

 

[Seo Linn]

The two of them looked pretty much eye to eye and Seo listened to what her guest had to say.

"I grew up a slave on Lorrd. Was liberated by the Dominion and learned the Force with them, taking lessons from Jedi and Sith. When Lorrd was sacked, I joined up with the Silver Jedi and have been with them since."

Iturizo mentioned he hadn't a bath for a little while, she nodded. Tipping her head in the direction of the refresher, she nodded when he asked for a change of clothes. They had shared a small history of each other and he had said what he wanted to do when they got to their destination, but that was still a bit of time away.

"A change of clothes will be set outside of the refresher door for you when you're done. Everything else is in there already. Are you hungry? I can prepare something to eat while you washing if you want."

[member="Iturizu Yuvie"]

 

[Iturizu Yuvie]

He turned around once more, peaking around the corner as she elaborated on her past, raising an eyebrow at the mention of the Dominion. "Interesting, I myself was saved by a Sith that served the Dominion after my parents died due to Resurgent Imperial fire, he taught me the ways of the force, but died due to wounds he sustain in a battle, from there I went my own way". Unfortunately that lead him to the empire, a place that covered up all it's horrible deeds with propaganda and lies, though better then he Sith empire looking back at things the Galactic Empire was not much better.

Looking back to the refresher he gave her a small nod, "thanks for the clothes, I will probably be a few minutes, have to wash my hair and stuff like that". With a small wave he headed down the hallway to the refresher, thankfully to finally have somewhere nice to rest up, meditate and recuperate. Entering the room he didn't waste a moment getting undressed and into the refresher, lettings the warm cleansing water was over his body. "I've missed this"

[member="Seo Linn"]

 

[Seo Linn]

It seemed the Dominion had played a role in his life too. The person in his life had died and she suddenly wondered how many others were now gone from that group of people. At that time in her life, she had been a teen just growing up on Lorrd. Her family still lived there under the rule of the Sith Empire.

Nodding at his thanks and what he said, Seo motioned for him to do what he needed to do.

"I'll be out here when you're done."

When he was in the shower, she put together a quick dinner for them and sat waiting for him to join her in the galley of her ship.

[member="Iturizu Yuvie"]

 

[Iturizu Yuvie]

Iturizu made sure to take a long relaxing shower, using this period of time as best as he could, also using this as an opportunity to wash his hair. "... perhaps I should get this trimmed at some point, seemed odd to have it so long, or maybe get it styled into something less, lose". Perhaps Seo would have some tips on that, aside from some basic skill the whole concept of hair styling was rather alien to the Mirialan, in times of war it took quite the back seat to more important events.

Exiting the shower he got changed into the simple robes, savoring the feel of clean soft close against his skin, walking back to the main crew area to once again talk with the ship owner. "Now that was refreshing, thank you again for the clothes, they fit rather well, even if a little loss", though for clothes of this design that was not really a problem. "Hmmm i smell something quite tasty, are you cooking a meal"? He asked walking towards the ships galley.

[member="Seo Linn"]

 

[Seo Linn]

The food was waiting and ready when Iturizo joined her in the galley. It was probably the smell of the food that brought him there easily. Looking up as she ate a bite of it, Seo motioned for him to join her and finished chewing before speaking.

"Yes, it's something rather simple. I travel a great deal across the galaxy, so many of my meals are quick and simple. However, quite filling. Would you care for something to drink?"

She wasn't one to show much emotion in her expressions or body language, but one eyebrow lifted slightly when he mentioned the size of the clothes. They were the same height and weight, so the comment confused her slightly. Granted he was male and she was female, the size itself should be the same.

"You are welcome to borrow anything on the ship."

[member="Iturizu Yuvie"]

 

[Iturizu Yuvie]

He accepted the invitation, taking a seat opposite to the blonde Jedi, picking up the portion set aside for him. "Simple and quick to make filling and by the smell quite tasty, certainly a winning combo and a skill any traveler would love to have". "I do make meals myself, have a few recipe for some more exotic stuff but I don't think I'd be able to cook this fast, oh and yes I would enjoy a drink, that hot shower has made me a little thirsty".

As Seo went about getting him a drink Yuvie wasted no time digging into the mouthwatering meal though making sure to savoir it and not rush the feast. Proper manners and all that, along with trying to avoid indigestion for eating to fast, not a very welcoming feeling to have. "So tell me Seo, am I a usual suspect on your travels around the galaxy? you seem rather causal about this? or is your mannerisms more about you being a Jedi and training"? He would not have been surprised if the women had picked up fleeing hitch hikers in the past, but it did not seem like it was to common of an occurrence, yet she seemed quite 'go with the flow' sorts so far.... not that he minded, it was quite the nice meet up that probably saved his life.
