Finding Someone Lost [Vax Kote]

[Eirian Reva]

Coronet City, the capitol of Corellia, was exactly the place someone would want to go for vacation. It was quite a nice city, huge buildings that looked as though some were made of glass, rows and rows of traffic, and twisting sidewalks that allowed many to walk freely among the crouds. Two Jedi, who had traveled far to get here, stood off to the side. Why, one might ask, was a Jedi here? There could be many reasons, but only one was true.

They were, so to speak, on a sort of 'mission'. To find something which had been lost, or yet... never found anyway. There was rumored to be a young boy... or girl... they weren't sure on the details, that was quite Force Sensitive. He or she was to be brought back to the Temple for training, before getting killed, as it was. Eirian was dressed in black cargo pants, a white shirt, and a black vest over top of that. Her long dark hair was braided down her back, wisps of it getting loose every now and again.

She liked this place, more because of the hustle and bustle than anything else. It was great to get away from the other Jedi now and again, especially to somewhere like Corellia. However, she tried her best to look annoyed that they were here instead of at the Temple and all. Though the things here intrigued her, Eirian still did want to find this kid. After all, it was a Jedi's duty to do so.

She gave a lopsided smile to Vax Kote, the other Jedi who had come along for the ride. Most would be honored to have the privilege of being in the presence of such a powerful Jedi, but Eirian seemed more amused with him than anything. To her, he was not very adventurous... at least in her perspective. Though she did wonder about who he really was, not getting the chance to ask about his history or anything like that.

Suddenly a Trandoshan slammed into her as he hurried past, and Eirian regained her balance before hitting the sidewalk bum first. Waving a fist in his direction, she shouted at him as he hurried off. "Watch where your going you, idiot!"

It probably would have horrified any other Jedi, and Eirian suspected it might be enough for Vax to scold her. Oh well, tough luck. That Trandoshan had deserved it in her opinion. Turning toward him, Eirian gestured with one hand while speaking.

"Do you suppose... this kid is dead already? Then we could just go home."

[Vax Kote™]

"Calm yourself; there isn't any need to act out like that to a simple pedestrian."

-Were those even the correct words to speak to the young Jedi Knight that came with him onto this mission. It wasn't enough to stop someone from leaving the Jedi Temple of Coruscant. Vax actually needed some time away from the temple. He had a good amount of tasks to accomplish inside the temple. Training, meetings with the jedi council, personal studies and meditations. To be on Coriella was something of a surprise. He hadn't seen this world in a good long while.-

Interesting that I would find myself here once again.

"No, I can still feel the minor presence of the force lightings it's way through this planet. This kid ain't dead I can assure that much."

-To dress in the simple as much jedi attire; well Vax didn't do that like what he would normally perform. Instead he wore a white long-sleeved button up collared shirt that was button only up to the second to last button, a long black coat, black pants, and a pair of black boots. His hands where firmly tucked away into his pants pockets while his two lightsabers were hidden away from sight. His eyes - despite being blinded in one of them - scanned about the area that they stood in. People of different species were about and walking.-

"The kid is around. I can sense him."

Where exactly I don't know.

[Eirian Reva]

"How interesting Master Kote... my mother would have said the same thing," Eirian said, referring to how he had rebuked her for speaking harshly to the civilian. She didn't really want the girl... or boy... to be dead. Far from it actually. If whoever it was had died, the coming out here would have been a terrible waste of time indeed. Reaching behind her back to fiddle with the braid, Eirian did think of the Hapan Cluster. She thought of her mother, whom had wanted Eirian to succeed her in politics. However... that would have made the young Jedi Knight quite miserable indeed.

"I meant no disrespect, Master. Truly though, didn't he deserve it?"

She was curious to know what opinion he had on that subject. Vax was quite something indeed... just what that was remained to be seen. There were a few things that Eirian knew for sure. Number one, Vax was a clone. Number two, he was a Jedi Master, which meant he probably had all that Jedi philosophy instilled in him so deep that nothing would be able to make him speak harshly to a civilian. Number three, he was definitely the best person to have picked for this mission because without him Eirian would most certainly get into trouble in one way or another.

She gave him a half grin, and began to walk along the sidewalk. Eirian did not wait for Vax, knowing he would catch up. "I hope we don't find whoever it is right away. I like a good chase every now and then."

[Vax Kote™]

"That depends did he do or say anything to you that would of caused you to say those words. I could say that you are the one trying to start trouble between a simple citizen who didn't even say anything to you."

-In a way she sort of reminded Vax of another jedi master who had turned his back on the ways of the jedi. He had become a sith. Overall, Vax held enough knowledge to figure out at least something. Grandmaster Kensho hadn't made him the battlemaster of the order for nothing. Not to mention he held a lot of knowledge about the finner things in combat. Not just simple saber combat, but hand-to-hand and blaster. This mission wasn't just to test one's skills in combat but as well as patience. And it seemed this young jedi knight needed the patience despite the rank she held.-

-Calmly he pushed off against the wall and followed Eirian down the streets of Coronet. The capital city was practically the only place he knew about. Considering he was here during his time as a jedi padawan on a mission assigned by Grandmaster Kensho. His eyes looked about the area. There wasn't much going on.-

"This ain't a game of cat and mouse Eirian. We are here searching for a child who could be in danger."

-Considering in how strong the sith were becoming; the jedi had to ensure the protection of any force sensitives that'd be on the path of learning the force. It seemed strange enough that one of the members of the Jedi Council was actually a clone himself back during the times of the clone wars. Who he was a clone of? Well that was beyond even his own knowledge. So this was just as important as any other training exercise that Vax would see himself in at the temple.-

"I'm pretty sure you know the dangers of the darkside of the force. The sith are growing in power and it is our job to ensure the safety of any force sensitive individual in the galaxy.... not to mention those who don't want to become involved with jedi or republic affairs."

[Eirian Reva]

"That is one way to think about it perhaps. But I must say that he was the one who bumped into me in the most impolite way possible. I have a right to shout a few words back at him. Now... I suppose you could say we are... even."

Eirian was indeed familiar with the Dark Side. It was like a black leech at times, sucking away the life of one being whom can not do so much to stop it except to cast it away. However, it always seemed to come back at one time or another. I suppose Master Kote has a point... she thought to herself. But there was no way she was going to let him know that.

"I understand about a Jedi needing patience. But not all Jedi are alike, Master. Patience is merely something that is gained over time with some... with... me, I suppose. You on the other hand have that patience, but you are not like me. You don't know personally who I am, and because of this you cannot judge when it is the best time for me to be patient and when it is the best time for me to not be."

Eirian really couldn't believe she was actually saying this stuff to a Jedi Master. Certainly she would never say such things to Grand Master Kensho... so why was it that Vax made her so irritated. Could it be because... he was... right? No, surely not. Eirian was most certain that she herself was right, and that Vax Kote was wrong, in a way. Her young mind perceived life in a different way than he did obviously.

"I can feel this kid is close, but I can't make out exactly where he or she is. I seems a bit jumbled, don't you think? Like... the aura is... swerving... places."

She wasn't sure exactly how to describe it.

[Vax Kote™]

How was she able to become a Jedi Knight with this kind of attitude?

-Everything seemed to act out of place here when it came to the words she had spoken. Maybe Grandmaster Kensho wanted for him to do something when he agreed to go on this mission with Eirian. They were completely two different jedi with different personalities, and still it seemed like Eirian still needed to undergo some training. Attitude wasn't even one word that would cross his mind when it came to teaching.-

-Why was she even acting like this to him? Could there be the possibility that he was a clone.... that was the possibility. With the Grandmaster around it seemed like she could do whatever she wanted and get away with it. After every other word that he spoke she seemed to of come back with a negative response.-

"A jedi should know----"

-He paused. Why even bother to say those words. She would probably come back with another negative comment. For the moment his focus was completely off. The force scrambled around him for a moment, and it seemed like he was getting mutliple fixed readings. Was this of a way that the force was actually tricking his mind. She was indeed right?-

"You're right, the force is all over the place. Even I can't get a fixed reading."

Something isn't right here?

-Vax had a bad feeling about this. It seemed like the force was more or less playing tricks on him. The only other conclusion that Vax could come up with was trouble. As in someone had gotten to the child before they did.-

[Eirian Reva]

Eirian could tell she had annoyed Vax, and that made a slight smile come to her face. Didn’t Jedi Master’s ever have any fun at all? Were they so stuck on rules that they couldn’t move past the first ‘live in harmony’ they saw? It would seem so, and if that were the case, Eirian didn’t really fancy becoming a Jedi Master any time soon. To be honest, she didn’t know how she had become a Jedi Knight in the first place. Oh of course she had trained and all, but this here was something different indeed. Rolling her eyes at Vax, she continued walking toward where the danger was emanating.

”Let’s not be stupid, Master Kote. If we do encounter danger, and the kid doesn’t want to go with us, do I have your permission to knock him or her out and take whoever it is with us? Sometimes force is the best way I think.”
Oh dear indeed.

Eirian ran a hand through her dark hair before saying something again.

”One time, I went to Incom Corporation… and it just so happened that while I was being showed around, there was a break in. You see, they had been working on some new plans, and I guess someone else caught wind of it. Wanted the credits, so they decided to steal it. For some reason, I couldn’t get a good ‘Force reading’ on them I guess you could say. In the end it just so happened that he had cut up a Ysalamiri, so the death of the animal was mixing in with his aura, and it was confusing me. Everything turned out okay in the end though… but… there are lots of ways people could confuse a Force Sensitive.”

Eirian paused a moment before continuing. ”What do you think it is, Master Kote?”
