Small beginnings.

[Ryn'Dhal]

"I've got a ship nearby as well." Ryn said with a chuckle. "That's me, just over there." He gestured to a ship, the Mask, with an astromech loading a pallet of supplies on board. "Good reliable ship." His gaze moved to the others, a warm smile upon his face. That smile faltered as another approached their group.
Eyes were narrowed at the boldness at which this stranger spoke to them. Then he mentioned Coruscant. Ryn had been there only once. Claws extended defensively. "How do you.... Know.... It was my mask?" The padawan asked through gritted fangs, eyes narrowing dangerously towards the man, ears folded back against his head. Was this man with the One Sith? He felt some Force within the man, but he couldn't tell if the man was suppressing the Force within him, or if he was just more connected than a normal person. Regardless, it was either how the man carried himself, what he know, or even his eyes.... Ryn knew this man was dangerous...

As the trooper left Ryker looked around at those around him with his normally bright smile once again shining on his features. He extinguished his sabers and promptly clipped them back onto his belt and let out a relaxed sigh.

Just as he was moving to introduce himself to the boy and girl around his age, A new being stepped into view pointing at Ryn'dhal, Whose claws were out....Rykers tiny hands quickly moved back to tightly grasp the hilts of his sabers as he watched the men.

As they walked, Karrus' eyes seemed to wander about the new found environment. The public landing station, rather a local Starport where other vessels and craft would come in and depart from, it offered a sense of awe to the boy who'd never even stepped foot on such a thing, never left his homeworld or hell, never even been aboard a public transport. His word had been buried beneath the upper, wealthier levels of the city. The closest thing he had to ease his mind away from the little box that he lived in, were the swoop gangs that admittedly were best to look away from given their liking for confrontation and intimidation.
He couldn't have guessed at the names of all the craft that were presently stationed though he could assume what some of them were for. As they passed one of the larger docking bays on their way higher towards the private sector, Karrus watched, oblivious to their audience as a large and almost circular vessel was being loaded up with some sort of stock, cargo, massive containers strapped shut and being walked alongside a droid of some sort that was carrying the weight of it all. Poor thing, guess you don't have a very nice time either...

Karrus Zorathi proceeded to follow Sanya quietly, keeping ever close to Alysara trusting her ability to keep an eye on their peers more so than himself, he felt a lot like he was being taken for a while, not as a person but more-so a hound, a pet of some sort. Wandering about aimlessly with the group having more questions for all the things he found here, than answers. Frustratingly it'd thus far proven that finding the answers to all said questions led to further questions and it was all getting just a bit much. Karrus had spent the whole day on the run and it was just coming into the evening now, not more than twenty minutes of having run into these strangers, he wasn't accustomed to being so active, at-least not to this level of extremity. "My feet hurt..." He complained, glancing to Alysara and then further ahead to that of Sanya, "We're almost there right?".

Now that Sanya had mentioned the Cantina, Karrus finally noticed just how parched and dry his mouth felt. Come to think of it, he hadn't taken that food offered by the masked Jedi either. His stomach gave a rather hollowed out rumble in response to where his thoughts were running.

Azda looked over to Ryker.
"You are a brave one." Azda stated.
Then, he looked up to the masked man.
"Brave, you are." Azda stated proudly.
This small man then walked off, following the trail of young Karrus.

Sanya nodded to karrus with a smile. "Yes we are here." She approved her ship and walked up the ramp with the other two behind her. Opening the second door Sanya stood to the side. "Make yourselfs comfortable for a moment while I get you both food and clothes for Alysara. If either of you want a hot shower to just ask. I have plenty of towels." Waiting for them both to get inside she closed the door to keep the cold rushing in. Sanya would then move throughout her ship towards her room. It was the same layout as the original of it's time and she had a hard time tracking down the schematics to produce these ships at her company. As she reached her room she opened the small built in wardrobe compartment and pulling out her outfit on a hanger and laid it neatly in the bed. In the bottom of the wardrobe sat a small box that had a few hundred credits. It was mainly for emergencys if the ship broke down or for stock and fuel. She pulled out a credit worth a hundred and placed it on top of the clothes. "Alysara come here please dear." She said in a loud voice.

"Now now, don't worry mate. I'm not here to start any trouble... Okay, maybe a little." The rogue would say with a wink. "No fighting today though. I just wanted to let you know, be cautious about who you befriend, friend. It's rare that someone has your best interest at heart."

A soft, dark laugh would come from that pretty face. "Believe me, I don't. I just find this as a potential entertainment opportunity. The orphans, I know nothing about." He'd then turn those cold, blue eyes towards [member="Ryker Tal'verda"]. "Though this one, I think will be the only person on this rock you can readily trust." His gaze shifted back to [member="Ryn'Dhal"]. "But that woman. What do you know of the Black Rose?" That taunting grin danced across his face once more.

As he turned and proceeded to saunter away, bee-lining towards a ship, similar design as [member="Sanya Val Lerium"]'s, but with multiple clone-troopers milling about it, the Rogue would call back over his shoulder. "Dark-side users. Not quite One-Sith, but I'd still be wary none-the-less!" and with a wave, he was as good as gone, sauntering with un-deserved confidence towards his ship and waiting crew.

The padawan scowled darkly as the man sauntered off, before spitting to the side in disgust. "I have no reason to question Sanya...." He slowly shifted his gaze to [member="Ryker Tal'verda"]. "Do I?" He asked his fellow padawan. The mind of a child. The brutal honesty. Though children trust more freely than adults, but also they possess a level of honesty you can never seem to find in adults these days.

Giving a slow shake of his head, he turned in the direction [member="Sanya Val Lerium"] had taken the other two, [member="Karrus Zorathi"] and [member="Alysara Sansiri"]. "Regardless, my young friend, we need to ensure our new friends are safe, and accounted for. And figure out where they call home, or where they wish to call home." His gaze became unfocused for a moment, remembering a time long passed. "Everyone.... everyone deserves a safe place to lay their head...." He muttered, just loud enough for Ryker to hear.

Snapping back to the present, he gave Ryker a warm, feline grin. "Lets see if we can help them find home!"

'A hot shower?...' Karrus blinked in mild confusion but also a loss of words, the opportunity never having been something he'd had before, the showers back home were only ever cold and the water itself dragged through rusted drain pipes that made the task pretty pointless what with the lack of maintenance the lower levels usually received. Without a grown male to help raise and support them, his family had never been able to get someone to look into the plumbing. Perhaps this was something that others might take for granted but not Karrus, without saying anything further he wandered off in search of the wash room.

It wasn't as though he had fresh clothes to put back on, the bottoms of his leggings were in tatters from running in bare feet through the city streets and his top smelled of sweat and grit but this didn't stop Karrus from seeking the glorious pleasure of a heated shower, in fact he didn't even bother to lock the room behind him; instead moving to look over the circular handle that controlled the temperature for the water and turned it on.

Pulling his shirt up over top of his head, he almost let loose a gasp as his eyes caught sight of the mirror opposite him. His own reflection was quite a fright, his eyes looked as if they'd sunken into his face, his frame seemed slimmer than he remembered and his skin was so grimy and dirty from not having had anywhere to settle, it was a wonder someone hadn't said anything sooner. Stripping off the remainder of his clothing, he stepped into the shower and closed the transparent door behind him, the water rushing down over his head, flattening his hair and causing his fringe to flop down in-front of his eyes, his breath fastening in pace briefly as the sensation was unlike anything he'd felt in quite a while, such bliss, the warmth where there'd been lack of any for so long was unlike anything he could describe in words. Perhaps the others would think of him as a simple minded child but where they had access to such wonders, Karrus could not believe his luck in the moment, it made everything else, dark and negative just sink and fall away from him; much like the water seeking to roll down his form and fall to the drain, washing it all away as if to say...

It's time for a clean slate in life.

Tiny black eyes followed the pretty-boy away before returning back to Ryn'Dhal with a smile. His tone held a happy chuckle as he spoke to his feline like friend... "Happy rancor poodoo that was close! We gotta get out of here quick before those guys come back.."

He listened carefully to his Padawan pal, His own tiny had quickly clipping his sabers back upon his utility belt and softly brought his right hand to pat across Ryn'Dhal 's back, A strange happiness in his voice as he responded... "I agree, Had it not been for a Mandalorian woman and her Chiss husband I'd still be just another orphan on Tatooine, Stealing food and sleeping on porches..... We have to help those two."
