RE: Tesara Makes it Awkward Again [Tesara and Sinya] (Closed)
TheTraveler — 06/12/2021
Sinya let out a long-suffering sigh as she rolled her eyes, "how the others put up with you and you endless annoying questions is beyond me," she said as she turned and started to walk once more. She made a rolling motion, "go on, get to you next question."
Okay now Sinya was starting to regret it. Without thinking he mumbled at a tone Tesara could hear, "should've left you to the death squad."
Her tone was harsh but her statement dripped with dishonesty. It was clear Sinya wouldn't have left Tesara to that kind of fate. Which hinted at a darker part of this woman's life, and maybe another place for Tesara to pry.

Tesara grinned, glad Sinya couldn’t see it as she was now behind her. Moving quickly, she caught up with Sinya to walk beside her. “Did you know that Ryan has a girlfriend? I think he’s kind of smitten. Her name is Amy...I think he said her last name but I can’t remember…Something starting with an R.” She frowns as she is walking, trying to remember. Then she snaps her fingers. “Rommel.”

Sinya shrugged, "so the spice head found himself a little Spice Head girlfriend. Wonderful!"
She continued to walk then added, "I wonder how many more strays we are going to pick up."
Tesara Anerin — 06/12/2021
“Oh likely more, but at least they would be on the Jupiter one and not on your Shadow.” Tesara says. “So how did you learn to fly?”
TheTraveler — 06/12/2021
She kept walking and spoke as if it was normal, "one of my masters taught me." She explained. "It was when I turned thirteen, he told me that I had to earn my keep more than I had. So he got me in to ship jacking. Though he started me off small, speeder bikes and land speeders."
Tesara Anerin — 06/12/2021
“Oh wow so you have experience with a huge range of ships and speeders. I bet you know every inch of Rotterdam and Austerity.” She thinks for a moment. “I wish I knew more about piloting and computers. Where I grew up, my mother was a healer and I was being trained to be the village Yilsaani. Zero technology.” Tesara bit her lip, realizing how very vastly different she had grown up from Sinya. “I think you know a lot about Baklid. If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?”
TheTraveler — 06/12/2021
She thought for a moment than tossed out, "not Austerity. I have only been here s few time."
She wanted more time to think of Tesara's question. Stupid Jedi and her dumb questions. She gritted her teeth. "As for knowing Rotterdam. The parts of Rotterdam I know, pretty sheltered little girls like you were never told about."
She felt victorious, she had skillful avoid Tesara's painful question. She continued the diversion, "East 5th and Colman. For three years, that was my corner. While you were learning flowers and how to play in the forest, I was learning what Johns enjoyed."
"One thing all my Masters had in common, I had to earn my keep," she ended her avoidance tactic.
Tesara Anerin — 06/12/2021
Cringing, she continued to walk, understanding that her question might have been too personal for Sinya. “I deserve that.” Tesara said simply. “You were right when you said that the Jedi don’t involve themselves or help when they should. I’ve decided to stay here, even if Master Durro decides to leave, because I want to do the right thing. I’ve got no idea where to start, but I’m willing to put myself out there to stop all this pain and suffering. The camps....” She trails off, shuddering.
“It’s vile what is happening to these people. What happened to you. I don’t even know where to start, but I can’t just stand by and do nothing anymore.”
TheTraveler — 06/12/2021
Sinya frowned as she listened to what the little Jedi was saying. She had this whole new line of attacks ready for the foolish little girl. BUT NOOOO
The little Jedi had to ruin that. Fine, so be it.
"Well at least you shown you can listen and learn from the mistakes of other Jedi. Not like your Master showed that ability."
She tried to hide her frustration, "I am surprised he is still around."
"And the camps are nothing new," she added. "Where do you think the government sent people who angered them." She turned and faced Tesara, "can't have the Death Squads murdering people in the streets in front of all the media cameras."
Tesara Anerin — 06/12/2021
Tesara looked angry for a moment. “Who gives those orders to the Death Squads? And what would happen if they WERE filmed doing it and it was shown to people? I had...”. She shudders again. “I had a vision of the future where this entire planet had been turned into a entertainment park of sorts, it was horrible! They were dumping mountains of trash into a valley and the native people of Baklid were dying and starving, and none of the people at those entertainment parts even knew about it. Even if they did, I don’t even know if they would care! It’s horrible and wrong! I can’t let that future become reality!”
TheTraveler — 06/12/2021
Sinya shrugged, "even IF you speak the truth, you are one person."
She turned in a vain attempt to hide the pain of her history that showed under her hate and anger. "My last Master, the only person who ever truly cared for me," she said softly. "He tried to change the world. I won't ever forget the night they came for him. They were dressed in black with masks over there faces. They pulled him and his family from their beds. I survived only because his wife hid me under the sink. The family was taken out back and shoved in to a speeder."
Sinya couldn't hide the tears any longer. "Their bodies were found at the local dump. Their eyes and tongue cut out." Anger filled her voice as she spoke, "even the youngest child."
She turned with anger in her eyes, "you ask who gave the orders in Rotterdam. That monster who is Prime Minister NOW!" Her words dripped with venom.
TheTraveler — 06/12/2021
She pointed to a family of four on her arm. Its the only image where both barb wire and chains coexist on her arm. "This is them," she said softly. "I wasn't strong enough to protect them. But I made a promise that would never happen again. I would never be so weak that I can't protect those I love."
Tesara Anerin — 06/12/2021
Tesara looks at the image on Sinya’s skin and then back at her face. A riot of emotions there is obvious, despite her gruff exterior. Tesara could see everything Sinya was saying in her mind, and it was sickening. “Then we have to find a way to stop him, and Lady Loran as well. If we can find a way to restore the Queen to power, she may be able to stop all of this madness! And no one can do it alone but Angel wept there have to be people out there who are fighting against this! Even if I can help protect them from the repercussions then that’s what I will do. Bad people don’t know the Light the Angel brings. The Path... her guardian... he was trying to protect her people. But he was killed. Who will take his place? Who carries on saving the innocent?” Tesara’s voice is strong and passionate. A fire has been lit inside her and it feels like there is nowhere for it to go.
TheTraveler — 06/12/2021
There wasn't much Sinya could say. Sure the Little Jedi spoke with passion and with fire. But she knew enough that the Jedi couldn't be counted upon.
Sinya gazed in to Tesara’s eyes before silently turning and continuing to walk back towards the Summer Palace. "I am sure we will get there before sun raise," she added with just a hint of anger left over in her voice.
Her mind silently questioning these two Jedi. One so much what she was used too, there other different. She decided that only time would tell.
Tesara Anerin — 06/12/2021
Tesara opened her mouth to retort and then closed it again. Sinya was like a puzzle box she could never quite get the hang of. But it was obvious that Sinya was done and had reached the end of her rope with the questions. Wisely she chose to continue to walk and not push her any further.
