Silver and Gold (Tandem)

[Dreya Shynn]

Space is a quiet place. Quiet, and cold. It is still difficult to grasp that I am here. A civilian shuttle, heading to a place called Naboo. I sit in the farthest corner, away from the others. My Normal Form can't contain everything about me. My skin still glows slightly. My eyes are still two little silver mirrors, reflecting everything I see. And people still stare. It is unsettling for me. I play with the silver containment ring on my finger, avoiding eye contact with them. Was seeing the galaxy truly worth all of this discomfort? I am still a freak of nature. An anomoly to the science of life. I can hide it all I wish, but the fact still remains: I do not belong here. So the question continues to plague my mind.

Do I belong anywhere?

The Rogue exits from his own ship from the port just as a civilian transport lands, his reason for being here is simple really...He needs more supplies and what better place then Naboo's Theed?? At least with distance to be accounted for, they should be fine while he grabs what he needs. Closing the hatch of his ship and walking from it's shade yellow eyes glance towards the transport as it arrives, curiosity hits him and he pauses in his steps watching the passengers flood out casting friendly waves and smiles when one flinches or pales upon the sight of him. White hair, yellow eyes...he looks like a Sith, he can understand there apprehension, thankfully most times they smile and wave awkwardly back. He enjoys people he finds, he just wishes they didn't flinch every time he frowned..Not like he's gonna throw lightning all over the place...He's not even capable of that! His ulterior motive for watching the crowd is to see if any of the bounties one or two people have shown him are trying to sneak past this way...You never know after all.
The Rogue slides his arms behind his back and rocks back and forth on his heels slightly his crimson robes moving with the movement..Maybe he should find a new set of clothes...? Nah, he likes these..

I exit the transport with the others. some purposly shy away from me, others continue to stare. The brightness of the sun stuns me temporarily. when my sight returns to me, I am in awe. There is green. EVERYWHERE. Beautiful beige buildings with gardens and grass and flowers and water. I look at one of the fountains just as the water catches the sunlight, causing a rainbow to be seen as the liquid cascades downward. This place.....It's paradise. I pinch myself to make sure that I am not dead. the last of the people now leave the transport. I stand alone. I am still amazed by Naboo. Where do I go now? What shall I do? Oh, so many possibilities!

Noting the shifting of people and others staring at one particular passenger he leans to the left slightly his eyes searching to pinpoint exactly which one they are avoiding...Of course the rather 'stealthy' Rogue is making it quite obvious and looks quite foolish as he leans over to search past the crowd towards..A young woman taking in the sights...? It's not a pout on his face, he's much too disciplined for that...it just looks like one. Still, she doesn't look like an outlaw of any sort, why are the people avoiding her and staring at her in such a rude fashion..? Sure he was doing the same but that's because he was searching for possible bounties! Sighing after a moment he pulls up his hood and starts walking deliberately towards the crowd that is staring, putting off an air of menace and making sure his yellow eyes are visible in a rather intimidating shadow from his hood, the scowl on his face is faked but his deliberate steps makes them take notice and then back away before walking away at a hurried pace. Tandem continues walking straight towards the market but once out of sight he straightens out from his hunched march of menace and allows a small smile to form across his face as he ventures towards the bazaar in search of food.
Good deed done for the day, good karma is a nice thing to build up over time, it'll play off when you really need it.

I look as a cloaked someone drives the staring people away from me. Was it deliberate? I do not know. He walks away soon after. I want to thank him, but he is a stranger. If he was not even trying to help me, he would see me as strange just as the others did. I sigh. I might as well look for a place to settle myself. There are many streets filled with people. That is not where I want to be. I glance around. There is a route that leads out of the city and to the plains beyond. I begin heading in that direction.

The Rogue pulls back his hood as he doesn't wish to look like some kind of stereotype of a Sith, the smile on his face and the way he greets people seems to ward off some of the suspicion and fear from his looks. Acting friendly only gains him small amounts of cordiality and makes others view him as weak..like the pick-pockets currently sizing him up, an upward stretch of his arms with the happy smile inadvertently flashes the lightsaber at his hip..and the thief decides against it. Completely unintentional of course, he has no wish for trouble. All he's planning on doing while here is to pick up some supplies and maybe see a few sites while he's at it.
Arriving at a nearby trader he starts picking out various meats, fruits, vegetables and some sweets specifically for himself, paying the vendor and wishing the man a good day he begins his trek back towards his ship another weeks supply of food stuffs weighing him down, grunting slightly he lugs it back towards his YT-2400.

I walk until the city is nothing more than a faraway sight. The plains are vast. A forest is not far away. I glance around. No one can see me, as no one has followed me. If I chose to, I could..... I slip off my ring, placing it in my pocket. I spread out my arms. closing my eyes, I picture myself in my True Form. I can feel as my hair grows longer, turning silver. My wings unfurl, flapping once in their silver-feathered majesty. I sigh as I open my eyes once more. It feels so much better to let myself show.

The Rogue breathes out a breath of relief as he loads the last of what he wanted stored to be chilled and preserved, however...he's left a bit out for himself in a knapsack. Grinning to himself he hoists the bag over his shoulder and heads out..a picnic sounds nice, time to sit and relax..Miss Alexandra that he met on Dantooine enjoyed solitude and the forest..He's gonna give it a shot see if it's more to his liking then the cities and settlements he usually travels to. A path out of town falls under the young mans feet as he begins his walk from the town, enjoying the bright sun and the way everything looks...peaceful, calm. All he needs is a bit of music..If only he knew how to play an instrument. It's with that thought he hums a calm tune he heard a Mother singing to a child as he passed a few months back...It was nice..he can't remember the words though. He continues his walk, looking around, his yellow eyes taking everything in curiously his facial expression calming..He continues his walk until a strange sight causes him to pause and blink curiously, he's never seen a Xeno like that before. Raising his hand and waving kindly he offers a kind smile, he does hope it's friendly...And can speak Common. The amnesiac has no idea that this young woman is strange in the eyes of others, he doesn't have much perception on culture or much of anything other then what's he's learned and been retaught...So, he see's no reason not to wave to the female, it's only polite after all.

I jump as I notice a man waving at me happily. Oh no. Someone has seen me. My glowing skin turns pink in the cheeks. I turn and run toward the forest, my wings allowing me to glide slightly and go faster.

He pauses mid-wave his smile seeming to still, he frowns in confusion and tilts his head to the left his hand lowering to his side. He sighs and kicks at the dirt under his feet slightly, he didn't mean to scare the poor thing..Better move on and find a better camping area, he was pretty sure that one was intelligent from it's blush but animals confuse him to..What is considered intelligence anyway..? The ability to speak a language..? Surely all creatures have a way to communicate right..?

I rush into the cover of the trees. It was stupid of me to change forms. I should've known better than to do it out in the open. Desperately, I search for a place to hide. I need somewhere that can conceal me just long enough for me to change back to Normal Form. But where? All of these trees are to tall. If I fly, I'll be even more conspicuous than I was before. If I climb, I will be caught. With no other alternative, I continue running.

The Rogue merely continues on his trek through the forest, that was an interesting sight if nothing else, he didn't mean to scare the creature. His calm walk down the pathway of the forest is accentuated by his calm humming, yellow eyes gaze up towards the skies and he smiles in content, the peaceful atmosphere of this forest calms him to the core. After a few more minutes of walking the Rogue finds a nice place to simply sit and read, a shady tree overlooking the landscape with a calm breeze and fresh green grass. Resting his back against the tree his legs crossed underneath him he allows himself to relax further, the satchel at his side containing food left open so he can reach in and snack while he simply enjoys the peaceful surroundings.

I look behind me to see that I am not being pursued. I am overreacting. I slow to a stop, and take deep breaths to calm my nerves. That man wasn't going to capture me. He probably didn't even now who I am or what I am. I sigh. Well, he's gone now, and I'm once again alone. I feel the breeze move through the feathers of my wings and tousle my hair. Perhaps I could practice some of my shaping. I could show Mother Circe that I've improved a little. Focusing, I begin to shift the air and the breeze around me. It circles around me, making a sort of invisible moving barrier around me. It howls and thrashes the branches of the trees, with me at the center controlling. My own little gale. I smile at the thought.
