A Meal Between Sisters 2/16/2022

[Anatketani]

Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
Some time Aftwr the sparing match and they had cleaned up both the training and gone clean up. She sent Tesara a message Asking her to meet her in the Gally (whatever it's called) to eat and chat. There was a lot of catching up to do. She looked throw half wondering if she could make soup and grilled cheese. That particular type had meet in it. Which tangled with Astra a bit.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara exits the refresher after showering and puts on a clean uniform.  She hears the ping on her commlink and reads it as she is putting it on her wrist.  She smiles and writes back.  Of course, be there in a few minutes!  She sends the message, grabs her data pad and heads for the kitchen and dining area.
@Princess Astra Korraay
(((OOC - for continuity and privacy sakes I will say this happens after Durro and Hadaza are finished with their kitchen convo and have left)))
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
(Oh I forgot they were in the kitchen )
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" Hi Tesara do you like soup and grilled chese?" Astra inquired when she saw Tesara.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
"Of course I do."  She smiled.  "How are you?"
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" I'm great that sparing match was fun. I finally made Jedi Knight, im not sure im ready for it but I guess we will see. How are you?" She asked as she set to making sumthing close to banthea cream soup and grilled cheese.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara sinks into a nearby chair to watch Astra.  "I'm excited to get off this ship soon.  I can only go so long without sunlight, earth and flowing water.  It's difficult to spend this much time in hyperspace.  After a while the air seems too thick to breathe properly."  She pauses, fiddling absently with a pocket zipper on her uniform.  "And I miss Jack."  She says quietly.
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" I can tell, You group it in a non space faring time" Astra said setting a bowl of soup and grilled cheese infant of her. Tesara would notice there was meat in the soup.  " I know you miss him but he safe and we will return to them soon" She said with a smile. as she sat down with her own food it was suprizing ly the same as Tesara's. " I hope this actuly tast good" She said with a slight grin.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara is surprised at the meat.  "Erm...Astra?  Why did you suddenly start eating meat?"  she asked, diving into her own food.  It smelled good.  "It tastes lovely, thank you so much."  She said with a mouth full and a smile.
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" Well I umm... Its a long story, you know that connection thing you and Durro have? well he hand i were able to connect we accident found Kiki and well i was reminded of this soup that i use to love as a kid iv kind really wanting it for a wile sense then. I just hope it dose not make me sick" She said quietly as she took a bite of her own food. she made a face not quite descust more on the edge if disappointment for a moment. but that disappeared and she smiled again. " I stopped eating meat in the first place because it reminded me of Sol and it was panful. Im not sure ill contue to eat meat but maby trying it will stop that stuped craving" Astra said with a grinn. " So what was you first space flight like" astra asked..
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara listens while eating.  "Hopefully your body will be grateful of the protein and not make you sick."  She said.  "My first space flight was leaving Lanus with Durro.  I screamed for joy like a little kid all the way up and out into space.  It was the most amazing thing that had ever happened to me."  She says wistfully.  "I still get a thrill of excitement lifting off the ground and flying upwards.  Piloting a ship scares me a little, but I do want to learn.  I wish I could help you and Durro with the navigation.  Soon, I hope."  She says.
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
"Hopefully, I wont guess we will find out. No telling anyone I'm eating meat please" She said with a smile.

Astra smiled at Tesara's story. " Piloting the ship take's a lot it is tiering even for me i do think i might be Better at it then Durro though. I know enough piloting i could show you what i know if you want" she asked?
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
"Oh I won't tell anyone. It's none of their business what you do or don't eat."  She smiles.  "Maybe once we're back in the Outer Rim you can show me how to pilot?  I don't want to make any idiot mistakes while we're on a mission this important."  She says.  "I wonder if there is a way to get Ava a message about our progress.  She must be wondering.  I know there is no way for us to hear back from her, but it would be nice to send her an update."  She says.
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" I though we had been we have passed serval hyperspace tryads, i want to seen the vides to Roza but iv been to afraid to ask it not really important to the mission you know" Astra said a sad smile on her face. ther was pain behind that exspretion. " You should make video's for jake he may not get them untill here back in repoblic spase but may it will help?" Astra sigested.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
"A hyperspace tryad would be able to get a message to her?  Even if we cannot find one going forward we might find one coming back."  She almost said IF we make it back  but she didn't.  She finished her food and sits back, looking thoughtful.  "I don't know what he would think if I made him a video."  She smiles a little ruefully.  "He's very...tactical.  Very straightforward and all business.  I never got a chance to really see him outside of the missions.  It would be nice to just spend a day with him not in uniform, out in Austerity with me just having dinner and walking around."  She looks wistful again.  "Maybe that video is me asking him for that."  She laughs.  "Thanks, Astra."  She looks at her chosen sister across the table.  "What about the one who contacted you recently?  Don't want to say his name."  She asked.
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
"Quinn?" she asked confused.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara cringes a little.  "Yeah I was hoping not to use his name.  You said you didn't want him contacting you and using his name might....I don't know....make that a thing?  Or maybe that is me being paranoid.  I am sad about him becoming a Sith."  She says, a look of sadness on her face.
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" You and me both but he seamed happy and i still love him. if he really wants to find me he dose not need to contact me and he did not contact me I accidently contacted him using the force, im not sure what its called or how i did it but after Durro story and him telling me what i am supposedly capable of i gess its one of those weard things people like me can do" She said quietly. there was clear worry and Anxiety on Astras face.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara frowns.  "This is the first I am hearing about this.  Can you tell me what happened?  What did Durro say?"  She looks confused
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
Astra stared at Tesara. Anxiety quickly becoming gilt. she raped her left hand around her right arm digging her nails in. settal down you a Knight now you cant fall apart like this anymore she thought to herself. " I can ... ummm... the night before we went to the dark side planet he came to talk to me. Apparently The futer version of me told him that i am able to change the flow of the force. I changed Roza's futer I dont know how i did it just happened and now she is going to becoume a sith. I wanted to protect her from gowning up the way i did with out a mother" She said quietly. her grip on her arm tightening coursing herself to blead. " He told me my midacorin count was 26,500 he has seen it on a Jedi hunters data pad in one of my memory's supposedly. I dont want to admit it but im afraid of what im capable of" she said quietly.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara sighs.  "Durro did tell me a little bit about future Astra coming to see him and what she said.  At first I was concerned it was some kind of Dark Side trick, but he seems to think it really was you.  Since he's your Master I believe him.  But the future is so changeable.  How you can change the flow of the force or change what happens to Roza is a total mystery to me."  Suddenly she sees the blood begin to pool on Astra's arm.  "Oh Astra!"  She gets up, comes over and hugs her, then pulls back the sleeve to wipe the blood away.  "Here. Let me."  She says.  (Using heal another, taking 10, Astra's wound closes but doesn't heal all the way).  She steps back, pulls a different chair closer, sits down and looks at Astra intently.  "So your midchlorian count is high and your powers are as yet uncertain.  That does not automatically mean disaster and failure!  If you find you are capable of amazing Force powers, then I know you well enough to know you would never hurt anyone with them."  She says firmly.
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" He saw that vision befor we left the previous world the one the sisters of the ange were at. He has not told me much about it. I already did hurt some one with my abilitys Tesara I hurt Roza, I changed the original vision" She said quietly.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
"Astra if you go through life being upset about hurting people, you're going to be upset A LOT."  She says.  "I've made terrible mistakes that caused a lot of people pain and suffering.  It hurt me and pains me to think about but I learned from my mistakes.  Now when faced with a hard decision I know to take a look at every angle and find the one with the most success and least pain and anguish."  She says.  "Roza is your daughter.  She is still a baby!  We're going to defeat the swarm and go home, and you can be with her again.  All the choices you make for her are rooted in your love for her.  That's all you can do."  She says simply.
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
Astra smiles and hugs Tesara. " It had sumthing to do with the pool and mind walking I dont know what exactly. that still leave the fact that Quinn could be coming after us hunting us down right now" She said.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
She sighs.  “hopefully that doesn’t happen, because we have a big mission to do. Once we restock on this planet, we’re heading to Origin or Yoggoy.  If the professor can’t find a way to stop them, nothing we’ve discussed here will matter anyway.”  She says quietly.  “And although you love Quinn, I’m not going to let him take you.”  @Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" I cant do with him even if I wanted he wants to turn me to the dark side. I wont be a sith I worked way to hard to become a Knight i refuse to fall now. you should not take him on thow Tesara you have no clue what he can do" She said.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
“He was dangerous even before he was a Sith.  His powers were a little alarming back then as a hunter. Add the Darkside to it and he is extremely dangerous. But don’t go thinking that I would be the only one stopping him! The professor, Durro, Hadaza and I wouldn’t let you get Astra-napped.”  She smiles.  @Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
Astra giggled " if he comes it will not be just him. our best be is to Avoid a fight with him" Astra said.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
“Don’t forget that you have some fairly powerful friends in there.”  She pokes Astra gently on the forehead.  “Just try to explain to Ashanti that an old boyfriend is trying to steal you and I think she’d have none of it.”
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" yah that is an understament she fealt absolutly horibal about my hand" Astra said with a slight. " speaking of did you ever have to venter into a dark side place Durro said there was a cave on lanis
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara shudders a little.  “Yes. It was… I don’t even know how to explain it.”  She frowns, thinking. “Like every single awful idea you’ve ever had gets replayed in your mind and then it begins creating new awful ideas. It was just terrible.”  She looks at Astra. She knows that Astra has not yet told her what she encountered on the planet. “Are you ready to tell me?
(((Edited)))
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" that definitely not what i experienced , Do you want to know?" she chuckled.
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
“Only if you want to tell me. You know that sometimes talking about something takes the sting out of it.”
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" don't tell the Professor I don't trust him as far as I could throw him" she said and watched Tesara carful.

" So we get off Durro's shuttle and the planet is beautiful there's the crystals growing everywhere. any way we find a village of cat people who identify themselves as slaves of the Dark lord. They would not leave my hair alone for some reason. it long red hair really that weird" She said.
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara smiles. “It is very beautiful and if they’ve never seen anything like you no wonder they were fascinated. Go on.”
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" so the tell us about the crystal labyrinth and there master they also Identified us as Jedi then showed us how to get there. We get there and there are two huge doors we have to open them at the same time and get seporated." she said with a dramatic ghost story voice.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara is silent, listening.
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" Ok so I'm alone in this crazy crystal maze I start walking and reflected in the crystal is Roza but she is not a Baby she is an adult and she is angry with me. Angry for me protecting her and turning her into a monster. she attacks the crystal. I apologize to her and move on. then you show up to tell me I'm lost. I know it was not really you so i contue on then i find the skeleton of someone who died there and a strange creacher that clamed to have killed them. she clamed that my refusal to give up os what would trap me there. After that was battle droids but they were braking down I avoided them an then found Sol he tried to convince me to stay with him. It was so hard to walk away from him it hurt" She said.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara is quietly stunned.  “Me? Someone who looked like me was talking to you? That’s… That’s crazy!”  She shakes her head.  “Creatures and battle droids and then Sol.  Oh Astra that must have been so hard.”  She squeezes Astra’s hand.  “Then what happened?”
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" It was hard Iv not even really told Durro about the Maze. After that was the fortress it was a huge house that was constantly changing I walled into a Mascaraed ball in a room with Mears. Ashinti stepped out of one of them and then o the other side there was a mear with two holocrons a Sith and jedi Holocron. Ashinti was agitated and insistent on a fight. I lost and she was able to clime the Sith holocron. then she handed it to me and killed herself. So we could escape because we would not be able to leave with out one of us dieing. I was shocked and so afraid i would never see her again. That's when Durro found me and we were able to leave" She said
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara’s mouth falls open.  “Wait, you fought Ashanti and then she killed herself? But then it was her that cut your arm?  … How…”.  She felt completely baffled.  “Ashanti is dead?”
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" yes she cut my hand off then clamed the holocron and handed it to me. she said she could hear the dark side promising that she could be free. she then Said only one of us can leave and she was sorry for cuting my arm off. then she steped away and killed herself so the door would open and Durro could find me. She is alive still I was able to speack to her wail meditating after i got back" She said with a grinn.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
Tesara is silent for a few moments and Astra can watch all kinds of emotions flicker across her face.  “So she believed that she had a chance to be free and didn’t take it?  Instead she chose to save you by killing herself, but she’s not really dead she still within you?”  Tesara’s mind is whirling.  “Astra she committed a act of selflessness!  She gave up her chance at freedom so that you didn’t die. That is incredibly important! It tells me that Ashanti isn’t ‘angry Sith girl’ all the time.  That’s HUGE!”
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" I know she has clamed to alwas be part of my life she clamed she has alwas been protecting me. I feal horibal for not lisoning to her sooner," she said quietly
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
“Astra, recognize that even though there’s apparently a future you out there somewhere, there’s a past you that didn’t know any better. It’s only bad if you continue it. I mean, I thought Ashanti was a horrible person.  If I ever meet her again I’ll thank her because I was wrong.”  She smiles a little ruefully. “Although I could’ve done without her cutting off your arm.”
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/16/2022
" im ok though she couls have done worse and almost did. she also feals absoulutly horibal about it she said she was over welmed by the dark side" Astra said with a sad smile.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/16/2022
“That makes sense being where you were.  I’m very glad she did it. Otherwise you and I would not be having this conversation.”
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/17/2022
" yes im glad to be alive to. Though the professor was insistent on answers he was disappointed though" Astra giggled.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 02/17/2022
Tesara snorts.  “Answers are his favorite thing.  That and making more questions that will result in more answers. And some questions that never result in any answers. It’s mind boggling.”  She finishes her food and gets up to take the empty plates and bowls and silverware to the kitchen. “You cooked, so I wash up.”  She says, doing just that.
@Princess Astra Korraay
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/17/2022
" no I want to help. The professor should learn there are some things people are not willing to tell him about" Astra said moving to help tesara. She wanted Tesara to know where she stood so they would not have another incident like with the medication.
@Tesara Anerin
(We can probably end here if you wish)
Tesara Anerin — 02/17/2022
She finishes washing and putting away the dishes, and then gives Astra a smile.  “You mean telling the professor ‘no’?”  She makes a half chuckle.  “Good luck, love. And thank you so much for the food it was wonderful.”
@Princess Astra Korraay
(((Sounds good unless you have more you want to talk about?))
Princess Astra Korraay — 02/17/2022
" Thank you I just finger if we are on the same page he can't divide us as easily again. I should probably go practice I totally did not do what Durro sent me to do today" She said with a grin and huged Tesara.  With that she would turn to leave.
@Tesara Anerin
(Ok that's all astra had)
Tesara Anerin — 02/17/2022
Tesara watches her go, deep in thought.
