On both sides

[Sara Lee Jones]

The Omega weapon was destroyed

Many lives lost, many lives not returning ever again

For Sara she was left off for a little till she got a arm so she could fly, left arm taken by amputation for it became useless

So now...on naboo she sat..taking some down to clear her head and recovered from the battle

so here she was at a cafe with a stimcaf...enjoying the scenery and peace as the air blew past her in a cool breeze

Naboo


It was kind of a peaceful place. Armis needed a vacation and so here he was making he way from the shuttle port. As he walked along he saw this nice little Cafe. Looking around for a moment he took a seat next to a young lady who by looks over her had been through some rough times.

Armis smiled warmly giving her a nod before getting some tea instead of the Caf. Armis wore simple robes with his hair pulled back. His blaster and sword were in a duffel like bag instead of being worn.

[Sara Lee Jones]

She looked over as a man sat by her, she gave a nod and smile back, she wore her military outfit that one would wear while not on duty, it showed her rank as well which was the lieutenant badge, it was also noted she was in the navy of the first order

She closed her eyes and inhaled, she had a little survivors guilt, she had lost two good pilots attacking the Omega weapon, she was still slightly number about it, yet she sighed and took a drink of her caf to get her mind away from all of it

Armis glanced over at the woman the torment of her thoughts while subtle in nature still produced a slight shiver in the force.

"Rough day?"

He smiled softly at the woman pausing briefly before holding out a hand to her.

"Armis."

[Sara Lee Jones]

She perked up and looked over with a tired eye as she gave a sigh and a slight nod

Rough week more like it roughest ever

She said as she had to turn fully and shake his hand

Sar nice to meet you armis

[Kenrath]

"Wanna talk about it?"

Armis sipped his tea.

"I have been told talking it out helps." "Lotta bad in the Galaxy.........lotta room to talk it out."

Armis turned slightly to face her more giving her the attention such a conversation warranted.

[member="Sara Lee Jones"]

 

[Sara Lee Jones]

She looked to him sup sired that a stranger wanted her to talk about what had happned....no one has asked her to examine what had happened...

I...yea lemme gather my words

She said as she took a breath it" I participated in that large battle that happened with the Rouge sith....lost a couple friends and...well lost my arm

[member="Armis Vindex"]

 

[Kenrath]

Armis listened nodding.

"I had heard rumors around the Alliance about a new Sith threat..................something about a weapon."

He sighed.

"it was just rumors though as I kind of got myself banned from going on missions." "I may or may not have pissed off the Queen of a potential member world by insinuating she didn't deserve to be Queen."

Armis got a mock oops look on his face before chuckling.

"So don't know much about what happened."

[member="Sara Lee Jones"]

 

[Sara Lee Jones]

Well the rumors were right....it was a weapon unlike any had seen in years....gods...it was huge, this thing had to be the length of at least five of the biggest ships ever created

She said then gave a chuckle to his words

Sometimes royalty can be full of themselves sometimes a little to much

She said and then frowned

I'd go into detail but...well I cant...kinda still...has me in shock" she said and looked away with a sigh*

[member="Armis Vindex"]

 

[Kenrath]

Armis nodded sipping his tea.

"I see..........sounds like an experience with lasting repercussion."

Armis looked thoughtful for a moment.

"These things can take there toll." "I won't pretend to know or even understand what you are going through." "I am just a warden of the Law...........I don't fight wars unless you count combating things like Spice trade and Smuggling war fighting."

Armis smiled softly.

"Have you spoken to anyone about what you are dealing with?" "Your uniform is military is it not..................surely they have people there maybe counselors you could talk to." "I am not discounting your ability Sara................the fact you survived speaks volumes." "However I would think putting you back in a cockpit in your frame of mind would be the last thing anyone wants."

[Sara Lee Jones]

She looked to him then down a s she slightly nodded agreeing with him then gave a small frown


I...i haven't the nerve to speak to a military councilor....to afraid it'll ruin my whole career...I mean I worked for this did so much just to reach this rank I have now" she said and pause" I thought I'd try and just let my relax...you know....just come to terms...on my own...

[member="Armis Vindex"]

 

[Kenrath]

Armis nodded.

"You feel like admitting weakness will be giving up your career."

He paused.

"Let me ask you this." "What would make you feel worse." "Potentially having to give up what you love or having to live with the chance that more lives will be lost because you got back into the cockpit before you were ready?"

Armis paused again.

"If there is anyone who could not only understand what you are feeling would it not be someone who has been where you are?" "Someone who has had to process these same feelings you are having now?"

Armis smiled.

"Sure it's possible you may find a way on your own." "But is it worth your own life or the life of your men if you are wrong?"

[member="Sara Lee Jones"]

 

[Sara Lee Jones]

She bowed her head not meeting his eyes a s she listened to him. She didn't want to admit a thing she was stubborn...it's usually what a pilot was, a stubborn person who refused to budge...

I..I don't know...I want to keep flying but...I don't want anyone else to die by me...."

She went silent as she started to draw I to her before she shook her head" I need help....

[Kenrath]

Armis reached out to put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"A life of service is a life of sacrifice." "We do what we do not for ourselves but for others."

Armis smiled.

"My father was a Dark Jedi..............who devoted his life to the service of Sith." "Until he could no longer look himself in the mirror because of all the death and torment his people called." "My mother a Healer...............a Jedi only in deed not in name."

"Both gave up on dreams of power and position for the greater good." "Neither regretted it." "Even if you have to spend some time away from the fighting." "You can always teach and mentor others so they mite have a better chance of coming back home." "Then maybe once you are back in the cockpit yourself you will be ready."

[Sara Lee Jones]

She looked up to him with a small frown as she nodded slowly

I joined so I can defend my family after my birth home was glassed....I hated what I saw

She then looked up at him and listened to his little story as she gave a smile

Yea...yea maybe little down time teaching pilots not to.make the same mistake me and my friends made..." she said a s she rose up and looked to him"yea...that is actually what I think I'll be doing...." she said and smiled



[member="Armis Vindex"]

 

[Kenrath]

Armis stood returning the smile.

"Sounds like you have a good plan in mind." "May be a good step towards peace of mind." "Nothing wrong with that."

Armis grabbed his bag.

"It was nice to meet you Sara and maybe we will run into each other again."

[member="Sara Lee Jones"]

 

[Sara Lee Jones]

She nodded and held her hand out for him to shake good bye as she gave a smile"

Indeed a pleasure, I think I'll consider you a friend you've showed and helped me a lot" she said and then patted his shoulder

[member="Armis Vindex"]

 

[Kenrath]

Armis smiled giving her a slight bow of his head.

"May we meet next under better circumstance."

Armis would make his way further into the city his first goal lodging for his time on Naboo. Hopefully there would still be an open room somewhere.
