Xenvaer, Alsakan
Sabine, in all her travels, could not remember ever visiting a place like this before.
Sure, she had seen many advanced worlds, ones with vast cities that sprawled… but an entire city-world? Well, this was certainly something different. The space port alone was the size of some villages and towns of some of the more backwater worlds she’d seen. Looking around with wide-eyes, she pondered which way to go first. It wasn’t often that the young Jedi woman had a chance to explore such a place on her own. Normally, the ever-watchful eye of Master Galen was there nearby.
It was true, though she was quite well-traveled for someone her age, her experiences had not exactly been that of a normal early twenties-something girl. For most, this was the time of entering university and immersing in career-related studies. To a young Jedi, this kind of life was something of a mystery.
Dressed simply, she blended in well-enough on the streets of Xenvaer. Her saber was on her belt, but hidden beneath her jacket. Sabine’s blue eyes roamed the area, watching as people walked the sidewalks, ducking into various shops. Pausing to glance inside a window, she watched as a long queue of people waiting at a café counter. The drinks produced at the end of the line were fancy, bedazzled in whipped cream, sprinkles, and syrups.
Walking into the café, Sabine was immediately met with the strong scent of roasted caf.
She’d never been allowed to try before, but Sabine figured she could go ahead and have just one. Stepping to the end of the line, she looked in awe at the long menu, which was written in language that was foreign. Double-tall caf-a-latte with extra room… What in the blazes was that? Blinking at the menu items, she didn’t quite know what to order. And when her own turn came, the barista looked at her with a frown. This place moved fast, she was clearly holding up the line.
“S-sorry,” Sabine stammered, her mouth suddenly dry. “I’ll, uh, have… a pumpkin spice caffuccino, if you please.”
“Do you want whipped cream?”
“Sure… why not?” Sabine said, handing over her credits and standing to the side to wait. She attempted to keep out of the way of the other patrons, and she couldn’t help but feel just a little bit out of place here.
