Like A Magnet (PM for Invite)

[Greifen Ren]

The display before him was almost enough to nauseate Vond, but he did not show it. The girl seemed to Vond such a weak and pathetic lifeform that she was barely worth wasting a breath on; drug-addicted and too helpless to even speak. But the scene did allow him to assess [member="Lady Kay"], whom Greifen was almost positive was a Jedi, judging by her demeanor. But Vond knew he couldn't confront her here; he would have to wait to get her alone somewhere.

Until then, he smiled down at [member="Roxy Lalonde"]. "Do you have shelter? Somewhere to call home?"

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Vond Greifen"] [member="Roxy Lalonde"] [member="Nate Drake"]

Oh good, the girl chose to have her tea. Splendid choice. Kay looked over to the two of them and then politely excused herself before heading over to the woman that owned the kiosk. Sapir tea was what she wanted and although Kay was told that this wasn't a restaurant, a bit of extra credits helped in that regard.

As the tea brewed she kept an eye on them, much the same as her bodyguard did. Of course she had met many Darksiders that were nice and would often help her. This one could be the same way.

When the tea was finished, she brought it back over to Roxy and held it out for her with a smile. "Here you are."

 

[Nate Drake]

Nate stayed at his distance making sure the other two did not make any sudden movement.Then glances at her why she get the tea still wondering what she was up to.He just hoped things would stay calm.

 

[Roxy Lalonde]

[member="Lady Kay"] | [member="Vond Greifen"]

Roxy felt a warm blush rise up onto her cheeks. She stared at the tea for just a moment before taking the cup with both hands, and slowly sipping the warm hot liquids that sloshed inside. After a tiny cough, she gave the cup back, staring with shaky eyes to the woman, unsure what had just happened to her.

She didn't even bother listening to the other guy, Vond. He didn't really catch her attention with simple words and nothing to offer as the lady had. The lady knew how to get to a lady's heart.

 

[Nate Drake]

[member="Lady Kay"] [member="Roxy Lalonde"] [member="Vond Greifen"]
Nate is starting to wonder if now would be the time to step in or not.But he didn't want to mess up Lady Kay's plans but he did wish she would of told him her plans.It would make it easier to know when the right time would be to step in.Nate had the idea of being kept in the dark it made him not want to trust her more then he did.But out of the three people there Lady Kay was the one he trusted even though most of the time he was with her it was a political matter.So in the end he thought it be best to stay at his distance and watch more.

 

[Greifen Ren]

After it was apparent that [member="Roxy Lalonde"] was ignoring him, Vond decided that his efforts would be best spent elsewhere.

I'll get no more accomplished by talking to either the Jedi or this autistic junkie. It's the waiting game now.

The only thing left was action. He needed to subdue this apparent Jedi and interrogate her, but for that to happen, he needed to have her in a secluded area. She would most likely have a transport here somewhere, Vond figured. His best bet was to covertly tail her back to her ship and then strike there.

Until then, Greifen nodded his head and offered a cordial smile. "Well then. Good day, both of you. As for the tea suggestion... much appreciated," He said as he began to go about his business, picking out the tea Lady Kay had suggested to take to the vendor.

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Vond Greifen"] [member="Roxy Lalonde"] [member="Nate Drake"]

Kay took the cup back, but still held it within reach for Roxy to take again if she wanted it. And as Vond departed she spoke to him with a smile while his back was turned. "May the Force be with you, my friend.." That should be the clincher right there. No doubt that could cause him to cringe or at best to pause in his tracks.

Regardless she turned her attention back to Roxy. "I could put in a bit of sugar to sweeten the tea up for you, if you'd like?"

Kay then found Nate as she looked amongst the crowds and gave him a little wave to signal him to approach them.

 

[Nate Drake]

[member="Roxy Lalonde"] [member="Vond Greifen"] [member="Lady Kay"]
Once Nate saw the small wave he started to walk towards them.He stopped less then five feet from them and waited till he was spoken to.

 

[Roxy Lalonde]

[member="Lady Kay"]

Roxy smiled lightly, as confusion slowly washed away from her. She started to get the hint that this was just a nice lady offering tea, and trying to help. She gave a gentle nod, taking the cup back to hold close to her chest, staring at the Lady for the promised sugar.

 

[Greifen Ren]

Without turning around, Greifen smiled beneath the shadows of his hood.

"And also with you."

He would then proceed to buy a few spices before leaving the stall, disappearing into the crowds. His master would most likely reprimand Vond for not doing a good enough job in concealing his Force presence, but Vond didn't care whether or not [member="Lady Kay"] knew he was a Force-user. She would find out soon enough anyway, after he managed to strike at the most opportune time.

He masked his presence within the Force again, becoming indistinguishable from the crowds around. Slipping into a cantina across the street, Vond would find himself a window seat where he could observe Lady Kay and the happenings at the vendor booths. Once she left, Greifen would tail her to her ship.

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Vond Greifen"] [member="Roxy Lalonde"] [member="Nate Drake"]

After Roxy took the cup, Kay dug into her satchel and brought out a couple of lumps of sugar, dropping them into the cup with a PLOP! PLOP! "There you are. Just sloshed it around a bit to mix it up and then it should taste better for you."

Then she looked at her bodyguard. "I'm not sure what that man was up to, but it was certainly something. We were playing a chess game of sorts and for the moment I believe that it is my move next. But he seems to have disappeared. If I've been recognized and word gets out, it won't be safe for us. So we should go before some hunters arrive to try to collect."

Not to mention some of the Sith that she wasn't allied with. That in itself would be dangerous.

 

[Roxy Lalonde]

Roxy pulled the cup closely to her lips after a little sloshing of the sugary bits, looking up to mentally thank the woman who gave it to her. She looked away for a moment, then started to walk off, sipping her drink quietly, making her way into a small building for other business.

 

[Nate Drake]

[member="Lady Kay"]
Nate looked to the direction the man walked in."Yes I agree he was up to something but the question is what.He may not be down yet but I'd like to know what.Did you know him?"

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Vond Greifen"] [member="Roxy Lalonde"] [member="Nate Drake"]

Kay smiled and bowed her head to Roxy before the girl departed. Hopefully the tea made her feel better. Maybe she'll see her again soon. It was hard to say. But hopefully she gets her life sorted out.

"Do I know him? No I've never seen him before. And I don't think that he knows me either. At least I didn't see any recognition in his eyes." This of course she spoke to her bodyguard. "Maybe we should go. I don't want to attract anymore attention." And by that she meant the attention of other Darksiders or hunters.

Leaving was probably the wisest thing to do, and so she started to weave her way throughout the crowds towards the modified blockade runner that was her latest hire. Already the hatch was being opened and the ramp lowered as her pilot saw the two of them approaching. The poor pilot must always be on the lookout, it seems. And that wasn't a bad thing either.

 

[Nate Drake]

[member="Lady Kay"]
Nate had a puzzled look on his face."Hmm wonder what they wanted.Yes we should leave don't need anymore people around.I just hope nothing happens."

 

[Greifen Ren]

Through the open window, Greifen saw [member="Lady Kay"] move to leave the premises. This would be his only chance at uncovering her identity, he knew. He would have to tail her cautiously and from a distance, so as not to arouse suspicion. If he was discovered, all bets were off, and things would likely escalate to violence.

Not that he would mind that too much. He smiled.

Slowly rising from his seat, Greifen exited the cantina and began to follow Kay from a safe distance, making sure to keep enough of the crowd between himself and her to prevent being noticed. Greifen saw that she had another man with her - perhaps a bodyguard? Either way, he was outnumbered, so he would need to be extra careful. He saw the two of them make for a docking bay, and Vond moved to follow. There would be fewer, if any, people in her docking bay, and here the confrontation would take place.

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Vond Greifen"] [member="Nate Drake"]

Kay kept her pace calm and normal. Most would move quickly if they had even the slightest hint that they were being followed. But not her. She learned that running only attracted attention. Still, she had Nate with her and should trouble arise, then she'd see if he was worth the credits that she was paying him with.

Once near the ship she noticed a series of crates set up before it. "Oh lovely. Forgot about those. Nate, I hope that you don't mind doing some heavy lifting. We need to get these supplies inside before we leave. I had figured that the delivery would've included loading them into the ship, but I guess not." There were eight big crates to load and it would take the both of them to do it. Kay wasn't skilled in levitating objects just yet, so she wasn't about to try it and risk hurting either of them or the contents inside.

 

[Nate Drake]

[member="Lady Kay"]
As they walked Nate stayed close behind her he looked for anything that was odd.He hadn't really noticed anything odd or wasn't letting on that he had seen something.When they got to the ship Nate eyed the crates.He wasn't against heavy leftism got was just a pain to do a lot of it."What is in them anyways if I may ask?Yes I'll help get them in isn't it part of my job."

 

[Kay-Larr]

[member="Vond Greifen"] [member="Nate Drake"]


She set her satchel down inside the cargo hold and then stepped down the ramp, stopping at one end of a crate, readying herself to pick her end up once Nate got to the other side. "Just supplies, such as food, fabrics and tools for building houses and such." No word of a lie there. They were supplies for some of the slaves that she was going to rescue.

 

[Greifen Ren]

The entire time, Greifen had followed from a distance, keeping himself hidden betwixt the morass of street lurkers as he closed in on his prey. The trail led him to an empty docking bay, where [member="Lady Kay"] and [member="Nate Drake"] were loading crates. Here, he could execute an attack without being seen. They hadn't seemed to sense him yet, and that was a shame, Vond thought. He could not simply use his element of surprise to kill them. He needed information, which required incapacitation, which was harder. Especially since he was outnumbered.

She had a bodyguard of some sort. Greifen was about to test whether or not those credits were worth it.

The black-clad figure appeared suddenly in the doorway of the docking bay, and, using the Force, he sealed the door shut behind him. It was barely a second after Greifen made his presence known that he outstretched an arm and summoned the Force, using it to push the heavy crate on Lady Kay, hoping to trap her on the ground with its weight atop her.

His other hand ignited his lightsaber.
