RE: Talking about the past with Unna
"I actually do not know if we should stay," Unna said to Ashla. "It is something I wish to meditate on. Either way, I do not see why we can't just all do as we please. I am okay with leaving after I finish speaking with Lady Baku. I think it is best we stick together, but at the same timeI see no harm in Auro leaving with Mya and whoever else wishes to follow, even if we don't leave. I would feel safest getting to the academy soon as possible, but I also would feel safest leaving with Master Chun."
Unna walked over to the garment bag containing the dress Lady Baku requested she wear and began to unzip the bag. "I do not see any reason for me not to have dinner with Lady Baku. I feel the need to tell her that it was one of the clones who disabled the droids, enabling the brutal attack on the outpost last night. I don't want to take the chance on not pointing out that they all look like Jenna, but perhaps she could shed some light as to why."

RE: Talking about the past with Unna
Ashla looked down for a moment as if trying to think. Her mind clearly distracted as she remained silent. With her eyes half shut and her head lowered, "I don't think splitting up is a good idea. I also don't think leaving is a good idea. We have been given orders by Master Chun and Biggs."
She paused a moment before continuing, "It also raises another question. Are we Jedi? If we are to see ourselves as Jedi than our actions here could be seen as those as those ordered by the Jedi. If we leave the city wont the enemies of Lady Baku see that as an opportunity to strike?" It was if she was struggling to understand the larger situation as she thought it through her mind. "If we do not see ourselves as Jedi don't we owe it to Master Chun to tell him such. After all, he is expecting us to remain here until he arrives in two days. If we leave without saying anything than we could cause more problems for him."
Ashla walked towards a large window and looked out, "I don't like this world we find ourselves in. It seems so different here." Ashla paused for a moment, "I found out that there used to be a small Jedi Temple here in the city." She then pointed to the large burned out structure, "there, in the southern part of the city. It was bombed the same night that Lady Baku lost her husband and son. From what I found, there was a massive speeder bomb that went off in the lower section of the building killing many and forcing the Temple to be closed." Ashle turned from the window and closed her eyes, "I feel like we woke from a bad dream in coming here and found ourselves in a nightmare."

RE: Talking about the past with Unna
Unna listened to Ashla as she moved the garment bag to the bed and laid it across the plush bedding. "I don't want to split up either, but we can not try to control the actions of Auro," Unna told Ashla. "If he wants to leave, we can only try to talk him out of it, but I refuse to press the matter in the way he pressed the matter with me. Although I am sure he did not mean for it to be, it was demeaning." Unna looked down in sadness. It was hard to deal with the feelings of the conflict and distance between herself and her brother. It felt worse than the darkness that touched her. "I would like for us to all meditate as a group after I return from dinner with Lady Baku. I would like to have Mya with us as well. Perhaps then we can find an answer together."
She removed the dress from the garment bag. It was made of a thick, green fabric to insulate her skin from the cool temperatures of the north. The sleeves were long and there was a slight V-neck for fashion, while still leaving little skin exposed to the cold. It also came with a matching headdress to Unna's relief. She would not have to rush back out to purchase one. "Pretty..." Unna held it up for Ashla to see, before taking the dress behind the privacy screen to slip into it.
"Jedi seems to carry a different meaning here than where we come from," Unna expressed to Ashla. "Whether or not we see ourselves as Jedi, does it really matter? We are seen as Jedi here, so whatever we do will reflect upon the order. At home, I was not a Jedi, but here I am. It isn't that I feel obligated to out benefactors. It just that I do not feel defying their orders would serve us well, unless we believe our lives are in danger. They have been good to us so far and I've mostly enjoyed my time up until things began going downhill after the fencing team's imprisonment."
Unna returned from behind the privacy screen in the dress. "Would you please zip me up?" Unna asked Ashla, as she walked over to her, then turned so that the zipper faced Ashla.
"A temple?" Unna asked. "I would be interested to explore the ruins. Is that even possible?"

RE: Talking about the past with Unna
"Thank you," Unna expressed her gratitude toward Ashla, "for both your help and your words. I understand why you did not speak up and I do not think anyone was about to change their minds anyway." Unna walked over to the mirror and examined the curious way the dress fit. "I wonder how she knew the size..."
"I agree, we do need more faith," Unna looked down, sadly reflecting on Auro's words in the presence of Lady Baku and after they parted ways with her. "I would have liked more faith placed in me earlier. I do not disbelieve Auro's hunch to leave Baku, but it does not mean that my trip to the shop was a bad idea either. It is hard to say if any of us will be wrong. That is why I would like for us to all meditate after dinner, but I do not know if everyone will agree."
Unna picked up the headdress and began to fit it over her prosthetic lekku. As she spoke, she wrapped and tied the headdress and made sure it was adjusted and in place. "I did not know. That is tragic. I wonder..." Unna turned to look at Ashla. Anticipation and concern were obvious in her eyes and she took a nervous breath. "Their daughter...was her name Ashla as well?"

RE: Talking about the past with Unna
"So much has happened lately and I've seen so much through the force," Unna told Ashla, speaking quietly, "I had a feeling that she had the same name as you. In all the madness, I do not know if I had the chance to tell you that through the force I was transported in my mind to my homeworld. What I saw was that it was destroyed. I died there..." Unna paused for a moment. "Well, the version of me that existed in this universe died there. As far as I can tell, Auro never existed here, but I can't be sure. I also have no leads on whether or not a version of Gadeon exists or existed here. I was killed and you were poisoned to prevent us from fulfilling our destinies, but that is why we are here. We are here to carry out what this universe's versions of ourselves were meant to do."
"Perhaps while I am at dinner, you can convince Auro to meditate with us. I've been asked to continue providing security for Lady Baku for a function tonight, but afterward I would like us to all get together."
"The discblade contains somethings touched by the force," Unna said as she took it out for Ashla to see, turning it over to reveal the Iktotchi writing, carefully handing it to Ashla. "It tells the story of my uncle fleeing a word consumed by fire and traveling to Yavin. What is inside is touched by the force and emanates light, but I do not know what it is. I would have to cut it open to tell, which would destroy it. Maybe all it is is something to make it perfectly balanced, or maybe it is something else.. I could not create a blade like this myself, at least not without years of practice. Can you sense what it is?"
