The Mercenary Returns (Mit Tuxaire)

[Nefertari Sovint]

"You never noticed before? Interesting... I've had it since I was 16"
I sidestepped around [member="Mit Tuxaire"], dodging and parrying his slashes and jabs. One of my sleeves got cut up pretty good.
"About time for new robes anyway"

 

[lordmitmar]

"Really? I should pay more attention. I'll see if I can find you something more comfortable than those old rags."
I Spun around and stepped back, falling into a seemingly open stance.

[member="Nefertari Sovint"]

 

[Nefertari Sovint]

"Fine with me."
Lunging for [member="Mit Tuxaire"]'s opening, I said "You shouldn't lower your defense so easily."
It was just then I realized this was probably deliberate

 

[lordmitmar]

I caught [member="Nefertari Sovint"]'s dagger with my own, I grabbed her hand and held my wrist blade over her throat.
"Give up yet?"

 

[Nefertari Sovint]

"You got me. Good job"
I dropped my dagger
"I think that's enough dueling for now."

[member="Mit Tuxaire"]

 

[lordmitmar]

"Alright..."
I kicked her dagger to the side, thinking that this may be a trick.
"Now what?"

[member="Nefertari Sovint"]

 

[Nefertari Sovint]

"Whatever you like" I force grabbed my dagger and put it away. Hoping that [member="Mit Tuxaire"] would lower his blade.

 

[lordmitmar]

"Alright." I said, sheathing my dagger and reaching down to help [member="Nefertari Sovint"] up.

 

[Nefertari Sovint]

I accepted [member="Mit Tuxaire"]'s help
After picking up the equipment we used and putting back in its place, I joined him again
"Not bad, not bad at all"

 

[lordmitmar]

"One on one is... Not where I excel." I said, walking towards one of the courtyards that I had seen earlier
[member="Nefertari Sovint"]

 

[Nefertari Sovint]

"No? perhaps I'm rusty." I said, walking with [member="Mit Tuxaire"] to the courtyard.

Many sorts of plants could be seen in the courtyard. I felt somewhat at home here, among nature.

 

[lordmitmar]

"Perhaps, but you seemed to take that other guy down quite well." I said, looking up one of the large trees in the courtyard.

[member="Nefertari Sovint"]

 

[Nefertari Sovint]

I walked over
"Amazing isn't it? It's a Galek tree. It was probably here before the temple was."
I breathed in the outside air and exhaled with satisfaction
"What was your youth like Mit?"

[member="Mit Tuxaire"]

 

[lordmitmar]

"Never knew these things could be that tall..."
I placed a hand on the huge tree's trunk and stood quiet for a moment.
"Much like it is now, exploring, fighting..." I spun around and snached a few credits from [member="Nefertari Sovint"]'s pocket. "Stealing."
She probably had'nt even noticed me taking them, so I tossed them up in the air a few times.

 

[Nefertari Sovint]

I stood silent for a moment 'You know what? keep it you little rascal"
I went up and tickled [member="Mit Tuxaire"] a bit

 

[lordmitmar]

"Hey! Stop that!" I said, laughing.
I slipped the credits into a pouch that was clipped to my belt. "What about you? What's your story?"

[member="Nefertari Sovint"]

 

[Nefertari Sovint]

"True, I started training as a Jedi young, but my master lived in my village. My fondest memory is when my family entertained."
I giggled "Papa used to make my sister and I sing a song for our guests. It was fun...The last happy thing I remember before I left for Naboo was our annual Blackback hunt."
I thought "Should I tell him?...No, it can wait"
"You should have been there"

[member="Mit Tuxaire"]

 

[lordmitmar]

"It sounds like fun... I do wish I could have been there, believe me. It beats living on the streets, looked down upon by those in the slums." I sighed and leaned against the old tree, looking at [member="Nefertari Sovint"]
I made an odd face. "What, exactly is a Blackback?"

 

[Nefertari Sovint]

"It's a type of forest bird. I wasn't too good of a shot, but I hit a few."
I thought another moment "Then there was that one winter where I pelted that hotshot with snowballs"

[member="Mit Tuxaire"]

 

[lordmitmar]

"Who was that?" I asked, tilting my head slightly.
