Woohoo Slavery... Wait a minute...

[Kari Tovan]

"I tripped," she whispered, sitting down on the bench again. She felt horrible for frightening her savior. It wasn't her fault that her diet required such things, but it still made her feel guilty. It didn't help that she would need to eat again soon. It had been almost a month since she last fulfilled that specific diet requirement. [member="David Ulmer"] [member="Vulpesen"]

David let Vulps do his job while he leaned against the wall and looked at the girl for a few seconds before looking at vulps with a confused look on his face. How was it Vulps just reacted like she was a normal creature... she ate people and how was that ever normal, infact the only reason we probably aren't snacks is probably for the fact that she either needs us to get off that place or for when she is hungry... note to self. Do not sleep while she is here. "Sooo...."

 

[Kari Tovan]

"I... Do you know of any non-sentient force sensitives? I need to eat again," Kari mumbled, looking down at the ground. Her tails were drooping in an obvious display of shame and guilt. Neither of them were likely to trust her now that they knew about her diet. She sighed softly and pulled her knees up to her chest. Maybe staying with them wasn't a good idea.

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen let out a small sigh as he started to heal Kari's lip. For him, it was far too easy to sense David's thoughts. "We zorrens are hunters. We stalk the forests, deserts, and mountains of Veradune to claim our food. We kill for meat. We burn the flesh and consume it to keep ourselves alive. Lives are lost to keep ours strong. Remember that next time you do something as simple as eat a nerf burger for in this way we are alike. The difference is the intelligence of our prey. Sadly for his Kari here, she lives with a guilt I pray neither of us need ever know. However, this does not mean we are without hope for the ruferalahuin. Now, if you'll excuse me I have to make a change of plans. Miss Tovan, I ask that you hold off a little longer. I have a colleague who may be able to help you."

Vulpesen started back to the front of the ship, his new stop would take quite a different turn, this time bringing them towards the planet of naboo. "And David, also remember this. To judge a person's character by their species and necessity is a harsh thing. It is far better to judge by actions and willing choices. For instance, look at her actions at the moment. She is not murderous. Quite the opposite. Even through the force, I feel no mal-content."

David was about to speak up but now put to shame as he looked at Kari for a second and raised his hand to rub the back of his neck before sighing and looking down at the ground before alking over and sitting across from her, still rubbing his neck. "Look, sorry... there are other species you could eat though, like Akk dog or Tukata or something... just you don't have to eat intelligent life as long as you are kept active by something else... and uh.... one more thing. How much of a person do you need to consume to sate the hunger, if only for a small bit?"

 

[Kari Tovan]

"Not a whole lot but... I feel even guiltier when I consume something that is... Still living... I really only go for.... uh... creatures that won't live much longer anyway. Not the healthiest method, and I get sick sometimes but... I feel better that way... I guess I just... Feel like I deserve the consequences of eating an unhealthy being," Kari explained, staring past him, at the wall to avoid eye contact. She seemed dazed, and her right eye was kept unfocused.

[Vulpesen]

"David, have I ever told you about the man who raised me?" He returned to the two and took a seat. "He's an Amaran est tamer by the name of Zarro Verres. I've no doubt that he'll help you, especially since Naboo shouldn't be too far from here." Even now, Vulpesen never ran out of reasons to visit the old amaran. Not that he wouldn't want to. In truth, he was overdue to speak with Zarro once more.

David sighed as she looked hurt again and with a groan his eyes fell behind him before pushing a few words to Kari through a weak mental connection, but strong enough. "Don't tell the man what im about to do..." He stood up and walked over to her before hugging her and letting her try to calm down as he spoke like normal. "Look, there are alternatives. They won't be as... filling as we are, but hell its better than eating someone who is sentient. Dont you agree?"

 

[Kari Tovan]

Kari froze as she felt his arms go around her. She hadn't been hugged in sometime, her parents weren't very affectionate. They were too busy with their research to pay much attention to her. Her tails curled up a bit, no longer drooping in sadness. The poor girl was tempted to nuzzle against his shoulder, but she wasn't sure if he would be alright with that. She merely nodded at his words and stayed still. What was it that he intended to do? She had a feeling she wouldn't like his suggestion. [member="David Ulmer"] [member="Vulpesen"]

"Good." He broke off the hug and backed away before dusting himself off and staring at the side of the room before nodding. "Well, thats pretty much everything i have to say about that, lets go see if Vulpesen got us to the place yet or not." He yawned and started to walk towards the cockpit to see where they were, acting as if he hadn't just hug the girl and acting like nothing had even been said. He wasn't really much into talking today as it was and wanted a nap the moment he could get one.

 

[Kari Tovan]

Kari stood there, shocked for a few moments. He had simply hugged her and walked away. She smiled slightly as she sat down, tails curling around her. She liked David. Something about him made her feel safe. She wondered if they could be friends. He certainly seemed friendly enough. The young kitsune had never really had a friend before. She was always sort of looked down upon by everyone because of the way her parents were, but David seemed different. Vulpesen was kind too. She wondered how long they'd let her stay with them.

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen smiled as the star lines faded into stars, leaving him over the beautiful planet of Naboo. It wasn't Amar, but he did have family here. The greater part of this family being Zarro Verres. Letting the ship descend towards the ground, he smiled and turned back to [member="David Ulmer"]. "You might want to pick your new girlfriend out of her seat. We're here."

"Vulpesen, i now understand why i don't see your girlfriend hanging out around the place much. You can be quite an insufferable annoyance sometimes. You know that right?" He smiled as he turned and waved to the older man, though his tone suggested near every part of what he said was a joke... almost all of it. He definitely saw why Alexandra was never around this man on a general basis. He would probably drive her insane if she was. "Kari, we need to get you into a chair, were coming into land." He said as he walked through the ship to get her.

 

[Kari Tovan]

Kari nodded sprung up off the ground where she was sitting. Her tails curled around her and she smiled cheerfully at him. His clothes hung off her slightly as they were way too big, making her look like a child. She followed him to where ever it was she was supposed to sit, staying silent aside from the occasional squeak in response to things that occurred around her. [member="David Ulmer"] [member="Vulpesen"]

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen chuckled and swatted [member="David Ulmer"] upside the head. "That mouth's gonna get you in trouble, kid." He got up and started towards the ramp with Ace jumping onto his shoulder. "Alright, lets go." Normally, he'd have stayed on the ship, but this time there was someone worth meeting. The anticipation made him stand a bit taller as he stepped onto the green grass, his eyes already searching for the contact.

David held her down into a seat as the ship began to shake and because he was still standing and not buckled in he fell backwards onto his ass as he tried to step away, looking up at her from the ground as he groaned and then smiled. "Little bumpy, good thing i didn't fall forward into you though, that would have been all kinds of embarrassing for the both of us?" He turned his head and body as he himself made his way over to a seat and sat down, having been seated so to look out the viewport and shouting up at Vulpesen. "Im sorry, did you say something, my mouth was in the way great master."

 

[Kari Tovan]

Kari giggled, blushing a bit at the joke about falling forward. They way the two of them were positioned his head would have ended up against her rather large chest. The little Rufer ducked her head, causing her hair to fall in such a way that it hid her face. She looked rather cute with his clothes hanging off her slightly. The collar of his shirt shirt had slid low on her right arm, revealing almost all of her upper arm. His pants had to be rolled up a few times in order to properly fit her and even then one of her tails was being used to keep them in place. Her other five tails were spread out behind her, and the light pink blush that covered her otherwise pale face just added to the adorableness radiating from the little white fox.

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen let out a small laugh as he exited the ship, turning back to answer David's question. "I said keep your lovers times for when you're on your own ship." He grinned and started across thee surface of Naboo. Of course, it wouldn't be too long of a walk, especially not after he saw a familiar speeder making its way towards him. "Hello, old man..."

David's ear perked up as he heard something from the cockpit though he wasn't sure he heard him right. "Did you say something Vulpesen, or were you just reminiscing about your own fun on your ship?" He smiled and didn't notice how awkward it was probably for the girl sitting nearby to hear this conversation, probably thinking they were a bit serious for a few moments there if it hadn't been for David's own joking tone as he turned his head to smile at her. "Hey, don't listen to him, he suffers from a brain injury."

 

[Kari Tovan]

Kari nodded, her blush fading a bit as she realized her was only joking. Her ears twitched as she stood up and clung to David's arm. The young kitsune was still a bit scared, and she had never been on Naboo before. The Rufer's need to cling to his arm was more out of fear than anything else. She walked slowly, slowing him down a bit as they followed after the older fox. [member="Vulpesen"] [member="David Ulmer"]
