The Eye of the Hurricane (Connor Harrison)

[Connor Harrison]

With two small taps of his fingers on his knees, Connor sighed.

”It seems the war with the Sith followed you, as it rages here too. Not always in your face, but it’s there – simmering away waiting to boil over sometime, somewhere, on another world caught in the middle.”

He gave her a solemn smile.

”Sorry to hear about your loss also. I can only imagine how you must feel here. As for me, I live to fight and serve; I’ll clear a path as best I can for others to walk and, as you say, repair people and planets and infuse them with good. Conflict is all I know, both internal and external.”

With the notion of the Force bringing them together, it dawned on Connor this was the second time he’d heard this. First with Syala Daivik, now his Padawan, and now the outer-galactic Callista. If only there was something he could do to help, maybe?

”If I could do anything to make you feel better, or give you purpose, what would it be? I want to help you find something, I just don’t know what you want.”

Her cool grip on his fingers remained as she searched his face and his sense in the Force for several moments. "I... well. that's not a simple thing to answer.." she said with a mild chuckle as she brushed a few strands of dark hair from her face. "I.... want to feel... alive again. I've spent a great deal of my time in this galaxy helping people on different worlds, and trying to right at least some of the wrongs done by events or factions as I can. Granted, I know I can't fix it all. No one can, really." She sighed. "I... want to explore. Travel.... for once, not have any expectations. I know that might be a bit much to ask... as we've barely met. And I'm sure you have a great many duties with the Order you are with."

Connor looked at her, as a Master would to a Student trying to explain their inner feelings, but not doing it very well. He nodded and kept his comforting hold on her hand. She was certainly confused – who wouldn’t be in her position. He was wary that maybe she had a little too much of the Midvinter ale, but there was something also very honest and grounded about her.

”Do you want to come to Voss for a while? See the Silver Jedi Temple? Have a walk around the surroundings woodlands and caverns? With our new bride and groom going away, the Silvers are going to be a little more casual without big boss man around, so if you want some time I can fix that?”

The Voss system was quite a way from the tentacle of the One Sith, and so there was plenty of planets left to explore and visit, and if she needed such a thing to get her frame of mind sorted then, maybe, Connor could help her in that was as she desperately needed it.

His offer was... tempting. And from what she'd heard of Voss, it was quite beautiful. Maybe... maybe he was tight. She did feel very confused as to what to do, and even so, her ties to the Levantines were loose as it was. Sure, she had friends in the Sanctum, but for the mosst part, she did her own thing. Maybe some time away was what she needed. Connor seemed to pick up on her confusion, and her need to sort herself out. "I'd like that, I think. Some time away might do me good, and I'd like to get to know Jedi from another Order."
