The Imperial & the Princess 6/13/21
Time stamp: this takes place after ava's phone call with Ryan.
Ava put away her comlink after she finished talking to Ryan. Than made her way over to Astra. Giving a warm smile as she approached. " hello there Astra, my name is Ava " keeping her voice soft so she won't wake the child. She decided she was going to help her to hopefully avoid anymore conversations between Reine and Astra. Though she wasn't going to hold her breath on that one.
" whats your daughter's name? " giving a curious look knowing Tesara had introduced her but the name of the child had escape her.
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 06/13/2021
Astra looked to Ava becoming tense for a moment as if she expected another confrontation. She definitely looked worn out whether it was from the confrontation with Reine or just everything that she had been throw seance the cathedral bombing was unknown. She watched Ave for a moment before relaxing. She just did not know if she could trust anyone other then Tesara. Espeshaly after Reine stated fighting with her and she had not even been there for ten minuets.
" Her name is Roza Dooku-Kenobi" She said quietly. She glances around the room as if looking for danger.
@Governor Ava Forma
Governor Ava Forma — 06/13/2021
Ava watched Astra closely seeing her tense as well as worn out. As she heard Astra respond. " what a pretty name. Is there anything I can get for you, maybe a quieter place where you can sit down. " since Astra had been standing this entire time.
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 06/13/2021
A sad look crossed her face " she was Named after a friend of mine and Sol's. she died some time ago"
"Astra relaxed and smiled. " That would be wonderful, If at all possible away from her" She said quietly and glanced at Reine.
@Governor Ava Forma
Governor Ava Forma — 06/13/2021
Ava frowned she thought about " I know I dont know anything about your friend but am sorry you for your lost. " as she give a nod " ofcourse this way " leading Astra into the bedroom since everyone was awake and wasn't sure where else they could go. From the looks of it this house wasn't that big.
Astra Korraay — 06/13/2021
"It was a long time ago" She said with an almost sad smile. Once they were away from Reine she relaxed much more. She set Roza in the center of the bed looked to Ave. "Can you keep an eye on her for a moment Please"She asked. waited for the answer then stepped away just long enough to set the bag that held her Mothers work by the wall. She returned quickly and sat down next to the baby. " Thank you Ava. Where are you from?" She asked.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/13/2021
Ava walked inside after Astra headed inside the bedroom with her child. As remained nearby the door way til Astra had set down her child on the bed. Requesting Ava to keep an eye on her daughter. " ofcourse I can "
Ava move closer incase the baby rolled as Astra stepped away to set down her bag. She kept an watchful eye on the baby. Waiting til Astra sat down on the bed next to her baby to find a chair to sit down at.
Ava hesitated for an moment remembering the last time she tried to make conversation. Though she wasn't about to let her own fears ruin a possibility of gaining this girl's friendship. " I am from Carida its a colonies region. How about yourself? Is this your home world "
Astra Korraay — 06/13/2021
" umm... i'm not relay sure anymore. before the attack I thought is was from Sereno. The day of the attack My Master... I mean Father Sol and I went to see the Queen at the time she was the Crowned Princess. Sol wanted to Mary me, after we found out i was carrying Roza. Lord Sereno insisted he ask my mother we had no clue that she was my mother. I had grown up thinking my parents were dead or never wanted me. The to find out that I have a mother and she loves me." She shook her head as tears stated to streak her face. she was quick to wipe them away and try to regane control of her emotions.
"I'm sorry its just over a little hard. to lose everything and have all this responsibility drooped in you lap you know." she said pausing for a moment.
" I never wanted this, I never wanted to be a princess is just wanted to be a Jedi knight and stand beside Sol" She said covering her face unable to control the storm of emotions racing in her head.
Astra Korraay — 06/13/2021
After a few moments, she calmed down and picked up Roza again. Holding the child close. She looked up at Ava. " do you know anything about that girl on one named Reine is she a Threat. " she asked.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/13/2021
Ava lean back in her chair as she listened to the poor girl's story. Seeing the tears " hey its okay, I know you don't me but I want you to know. This is a safe space so if you need to let it out it will be between us and my love. " since eventually she would tell Nova. " this sol sounds like a wonderful person what happened? " dreading what the answer may be since it was just her and her daughter. Letting Astra have a few moments in silence understanding what its like to have your world turned upside down.
Ava looked deep in thought she honestly didnt know. After hearing the girl used force lighting. " I know she is passionate about her culture " she needed these two to play ball. If they are going to be around each other. " No Reine is not a threat. The only person she's in- different with is me and that's a basically a long mess of a story for another time. I can assure you though with me by your side your not in any danger if your worried about Reine. "
Astra Korraay — 06/13/2021
"I-I think he is dead, He and Lord Sereno went to the cathedral before the queen and I she had to stay be hind to deal with an intruder that Looked a lot like Durro " She said burst into tears once again. I should have been withe him i never should have agreed to stay behind" She said quietly after a moment. She had not relay thought throw the implications of that statement.
Astra Korraay — 06/13/2021
She watched Ava carefully " Yes i am worried about her. I don't know who to trust in general other then Teresa. As for reine she strikes me as unpredictable and and completely lacking in any manners. Thats not something you do to some one after only just meeting them." she said and thought for a moment looking at Roza. "Im a Jedi i can protect myself just fine But I'm worried for her safety" Astra said finally.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/14/2021
" you can't judge someone by thire frist meeting. I learned that from meeting Reine. When me and Reine first meet at her village. Our first encounter actually I thought was rather pleasant. It was the season encounter did that change. And yes it was similar to your encounter with her only different words. A story for another time thought. I am here to listen to your story so you understand that your not alone and can trust more people than Tesara " she assured her.
" I also understand that I don't expect you to trust me right away either. " as she looked at Roza in Astra's arms. " thats very understandable, I am not a mother nor ever had a child but I can understand that after everything you been though her safety is very important to you. "
Astra Korraay — 06/14/2021
Astra smiled and nodded. " that's true my first impression of my mother was not a very good one. I was 10 many 11 we were at an impart event when Sol tripped and bumped into Master Palpatine. I did not know she was my mother at that point but she is a nice person." She said nodding. " it's a long complicated story" she added after a moment.
" She is my first, it was funny when I found out I thought it was a stomach bug." She said grilling for a moment. " I was for sure Lord Sereno was going to Kill Sol and me." She shook her head laughing. " when I told Sol he wanted to tell the entire academy he was going to be a father. He was always so funny" she said.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/14/2021
Ava perk up at the name Master Palpatine. Looking a little surprised she knew he wasn't the same person in thire universe. She wonder if she could meet him agian. She was interested in how different he was. As she listened and smiled softly understanding how those stories went.
Ava remained silent letting Astra speak as she listened how she discovered she was first pregnant and what happened. " it must been scary and exciting at the same time when you found out. Are you hungry? " wondering how long its been since this girl ate.
Astra Korraay — 06/14/2021
"More like terrifying, I had fought my entire life just to become a padwone, I thought the baby meant I would be kicked out of the academy." She giggled thinking about how silly that thought was now.
Astra thought for a moment" food sounds wonderful" she said with a smile.
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/14/2021
"Oh that is good. I was worried I made food to early." She said as she carefully opened the door with a tray. "Sorry for interrupting." She softly smiled at Astra and then gave a sweet smile to Ava before carefully coming closer. On the tray was water and sushi. "I wasn't sure how long ago you had her but I figured I should just make this anyway, just incase. The rice, seaweed, flax seeds, avocados, and salmon will help you body recover." Letting her knowledge of cooking and medical applications apply.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/14/2021
Ava was about to get up from her chair to informed Nova to bring some food. When she noticed Nova walked into the room. " I was just about to get you, Astra this is Nova my lover. " deciding if she was going earn this girl's trust the less secerts the better.
Astra Korraay — 06/14/2021
Astra watched Nova for a moment. She looked for any hint that the stranger may be hostile or have intentions. When Ava introduced the newcomer as her lover Astra calmed down.
" Hello Nova im Astra and this is Roza, it's nice to meet you. And that smells wonderful," she said with a smile. She wanted to shake the other women's hands but both of their hands were kinda full at the moment. " How long have you two been together?" Astra asked.
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/14/2021
Nova was kinda sheepish and trying to keep calm as she carefully set the tray down near Astra. "Oh we have known each other for 13 years now but we have been lovers for three of those." She then joined Ava's side after having set the tray down. "It is very interesting how we met and our story but that will be for later."
Governor Ava Forma — 06/14/2021
Ava nodded her head in agreement " I agree " knowing that story may overwhelm this poor girl. If she believed any of it. Knowing when they first came here themselves had a hard time believing it. As well as adjusting to it. She went though her own type of reality shock. " nova here is a wonderful cook. Anyways Astra here was just telling me about herself. If you continue to be jedi path I would advise against going to any jedi order. From my understanding your mother is currently arrested for treason. Well that's what they slapped her with but I don't believe she did anything. It was a power move they played. To put thire prime Minister into place. " thinking about it for an moment. " I wish there was away we could... help her " not even sure how or where to even start. As she reached out and gently pull nova into her lap so she wouldn't be standing
Astra Korraay — 06/14/2021
" She was not imprisoned for treason," Astra said as she picked up some of the Sushi and eat it carefully so as not to drop any food on the baby the last thing anyone wanted was a screaming Baby. " Nova this is amazing thank you," she said
" as for my mother, she was imprisoned by the Dooku family" there was a great deal of anger and disdain in Astra's voice. " They think she has Lord Sereno's Kiber crystal I have the crystal. There is a way to save her I could take his place and free her but I fear Bokled and everything she worked for would be lost" she said shaking her head.
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/14/2021
Nova gave a tiny blush as she was pulled into Ava's lap before giving a nod, "Yes. Though she had tasked us to bring you to someone, a native who is waiting for orders but it will have to wait sadly." As she pulled out a data pad, "Currently we have to keep tabs on where Lady Loran's songbird is as well as the lady herself. Then we will have to relocate once Sinya gets back, who isn't going to be a fan of another 'stray'." doing finger quotes. "I guess she can think that since we keep finding like minded people, well except Reine right now. That one we are still working on, I guess."
She then gave a small hum, "The last thing we need is for that crystal to fall into the wrong hands, the Dooku family to find either of you, and for Lady Loran or her songbird to realize that Ava is compromised in the current amazing position she is in."
Governor Ava Forma — 06/14/2021
Ava was surprised though learning this new information was actually helpful. As she listened than shook her head. " that isn't the way to save her. It would be a double edge sword. They would gain you, the crystal and would still have your mother. No there is another way just not that way. I think I have something in mind that would actually work far better but its going to take time. " looking for an moment at nova first she needed to know who she could trust herself.
" the mission was for the queens son, I think the best strategy is to keep her with us. The way the Republic been relocating tribes could have her discover eventually. " she already figured that out when she discovered there was no son. Therfore they don't have to wait time going to the village.
" it is time you learn the true nature of Lady Loran. There's seems to be a misunderstanding about her. You see Lady Loran has an interesting personality that makes certain people in the party dislike her. In truth though Lady Loran can be an actual ally. " she softly spoke. " Allow me to explain what I mean. " as she took an moment to gather her thoughts.
" Frist let me assure you that Lady Loran and Reine you don't have to worry about either of them. Lady Loran only wants her ventures here to be profitable and not a RP mess which what happened on another planet. As for Reine she has made her enemies and shown her true colors. She only cares about tilting the scale solely in favor of her people and let the rest be damned. If Reine had her way, people like you and your child would be thrown off of Baklid all together. All I want is peace for everyone. And that is what SunCo and Lady Loran wants. Because peace is profitable and all this suffering and fighting that's going on with the Republic and the tribes isn't healthy for anyone. "
Astra Korraay — 06/14/2021
Astra turned her head sideways. " what do you have in mind" she asked wondering how there could be a mother was and what village what man were they supposed to take her to.
At the Mention of Lady Loran being an ally. " Lady Loran is trying to destroy my mother's home," she said coldly.
The news about Reine only upset Astra. " that self-entitled little brat." Astra snapped. She just glared for a moment to angry to form appropriate coherent words. She took several deep breaths.
" I do not care who she thinks these other hairs to the thrown are I will not surrender my mothers thrown to someone who can not see the people of Baklid as a hole my Daughter and I have just as much right to be her as she does. All that plan of her's will do is continue the fighting" Astra said still visibly angry. She stood up and paced.
Then looked at Ava and Nove. " That girl is to be no where near Roza with out myself or Tissara watching," she said before sitting down again.
@Lady Ryne Roke @Governor Ava Forma
Governor Ava Forma — 06/14/2021
Ava listened and thought for an moment " am still forming the plan in my head once I have it hashed out i shall present it to you. In the mean time I can slow down Lady Loran's plans for the summer palace" she assured Astra. Knowing she would be unable to stop it but she could slow it down.
As she listened it was nice to hear they had something in common already. As she listened thinking for an moment " let me give you some advice how to handle Reine. Trust me on this one cause I have witnessed it and experience it frist hand. Don't act like Reine's enemy. Yes she does come across very loud and vocal, however it's best for you to smile and nod. The very best way I seen is not to match her agrument with argument. Instead let her rant and simply walk away when she's done speaking. The last conformation we had that work wonderfully for me. She reminds me of a girl I knew in the academy that expose people's weakness. "
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/14/2021
Nova listened to them both with a pleasant smile of her face. She was typing away on her datapad before seeing Astra pace. She hummed before letting Ava finish speaking. "I have a question, would you like me to do a health check up? We are going to be moving around a lot soon and I want to make sure Roza will be fine as we plan to head for another planet fairly soon." It had popped in her mind if they will have to leave a guarding squadron with Astra and Roza if they aren't able to take a ship off world yet.
Astra Korraay — 06/14/2021
"So what I need to do is not let her see my weaknesses." Astra smiled considering both Ava and nova. " I would love to consider you both friends" she said with a smile.
"What other planet" She asked totally calm now he had let her anger out and let go of the emotion like she had always been thought to do. She looked down at the still peacefully sleeping child. "I suppose its OK" Astra said hesitantly.
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/14/2021
"We were planning on going to Baklid 2 soon, well if that is still the plan we want to go with." Carefully getting up off Ava to do a medical check up. "I should probably do this with everyone soon."
Astra Korraay — 06/14/2021
" That would probably be a good idea. Is there anything I can do to help you" Astra asked
She looked to Ava. " It would probably be a good idea for me to finger out which crystal on that book is the Kiber. I would have a more powerful weapon if the rumors are right" She shook her head a part of her not wanting to bond with it.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/14/2021
Ava watched Nova wondering why the sudden health check. As she peer over Nova's data pad curiositly. Seeing it was just a routine check up. Maybe she just wanted to make sure they were alright. Listening to the conversation going on. " am fine, ill let you know though if I should come down with anything though. " she assured Nova
Ava wasn't really sure how the whole crystal thing worked. " I belive durro use the force to do something with his own crystal. Tesara would know what you should do. "
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/14/2021
Nova softly smiled. "Of course my dear." She then took her time to check over them both on their health. She was being careful and was being gentle with Roza also.
Astra Korraay — 06/14/2021
" what family is Tesara from and dose she have her families Legasy Crystal otherwise I dont think so. There's something special that needs to be done with those crystals I can't remember what though " Astra said shaking her head.
Roza opened her eyes they were stunning green like her dads. " Good morning Sleepy" Astra said then looked to Ava as of trying to convince her to come see the baby.
OOC: we needed something cute and unless Traveler has something to say I going to assume they are both in perfect health.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/14/2021
Ava listened and thought for an moment " Asking never hurts, the worst that can happen is her saying she doesn't know. Than your still back to figuring it out also asking durro may not hurt as well. " she suggested.
Ava noticed the baby was starting to wake up and smiled softly as she noticed the settle motion and got up and walked over closer to the baby. " you know in way I always wonder what it be like to be a mother secertly. Seeing your precious girl inspires me to do everything I can to protect you and your baby even more. " knowing some how people can be.
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/14/2021
Nova gave a tiny squeak when the baby woke up as she finished. "Oh, sorry didn't mean to wake her." She then moved out of the way to let Ava see Roza. "I do too, my dear."
She then looked at Roza again. "Such a cutie. I wasn't sure what to make for her so I didn't, sorry about that."
Astra Korraay — 06/14/2021
" That's very true I will have to ask him when I have the chance. I'm not sure I want to bond with the crystal" she said shaking her head.
Astra smiled at Ava's statement. " Thank you you want to Hold her," Astra asked with a smile. Ava and Nova could be trusted. there also was not much anyone could do to Roza wail she was watching.
Astra giggled at Nova's response to Roza. " if you had woken her she would be screaming, she's not crying so for now she is just awake. She is not quite to solid food she can only have Milk at the moment. But like I said she is not yet hungry so it's not a big deal. she said with a smile.
OOC: if I have the age of the baby is wrong ill change it later. Let's go ahead and assume the baby's needs are meant and she is just awake and happy to see new people.
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/14/2021
Nova softly giggled, "So cute~ I fear I would hurt her though, I only learned how to hold a baby about a few days ago sadly." She began to put her medical equipment away. "But on to the other topic, Durro would be the best one to ask. He is very calm and often times gives great advise."
Governor Ava Forma — 06/14/2021
Something cross Ava's mind if they were going be here for a couple of days. That meant Rosa would need milk unless she was breastfeed. Though she wonder how exactly one ask about that information. Specially since she never had a child of her own.
When she heard the offer this seemed like the perfect opportunity to prove to Astra she could indeed be trusted. " I would love to hold her but will need some coaching how to hold her. Also is there anything you will be needing for Roza? "
Astra Korraay — 06/14/2021
Astra smiled and carefully handed the baby to Ava. " you need to support all of her weight and watch her head. They can't hold them up at this age so it's up to us to make sure to support her. " Astra said. She made sure Ava was holding Roza correctly before giving any thought to Ava's question. " if we can ume up with a safe place for Astra to sleep and perhaps some diapers. If you can get ahold of baby-safe Sope that would be amazing It would be nice to give her a proper bath, I really do appreciate your guys help" Astra said.
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/14/2021
"I can probably craft something to carry her in while she sleeps and we keep moving but I would require time and the material. Though my love, the soap and diapers will have to be bought with your chain codes since you have the only active one." She could probably build a baby harness that will support Roza and keep her close to Astra while moving.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/14/2021
" well I informed Ryan we will be having a baby and he's relocating nova to mine room so you can have Nova's room. I can request for him to get a few items so you and your little one can sleep soundly and safely. " as she walked over as she carefully took Roza as she was handed to her. Making sure she supported Rozas weight and supported the head. " yes we shall have to make a stop somewhere before we leave the planet. Reine will be place into Kalebs room they can share til Kaleb can go back to the shadow. " as she thought about the arrangements. She was sure Reine would be fine with it and understanding the limited amount of rooms Kaleb would be as well. " crafting something for the baby sounds like a good idea nova. " she smiled softly.
Astra Korraay — 06/14/2021
Astra smiled " Thank you so much. You two are very kind may I sigest Tesara and I share a room that may help with the limited space situation. I would prefer to be paired with someone I know I can trust if at all possible." Astra said she was trying to help in any way she could. But she did not know what she could do to help.
Roza looked up at Ava and seemed to smile. Then started babbling at her. " I think she like you Ava," Astra said with a smile.
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/14/2021
"I see. Well that will have to be something you speak with Tesara about. But my room is always open for you to use." She didn't seem to mind as it would be high time she shared rooms anyway. "Other than that, I will just have to figure out where to put the books and crafting materials while hoping Ryan doesn't just toss them all out." she then softly smiled, "Maybe Roza likes your blonde hair, love."
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
" well currently durro and Tesara share one room, Kaleb has his own, Nova has hers and I have mine. I dont think your room safe currently for the baby. If I am going to share my room I am going pick the person I still care deeply about. As for your things I am sure they will be handled and relocated safely nova. I need someone to hold down my room anyways. I have some things am planning and which to catch Ryan up completely on what he missed. "
As she held the baby gently " perhaps " as she smiled " she's so precious. Yes you are Rosa, precious " humming a tune she remembered her mother once hummed to her as a child. " Ryan wouldn't had toss out your things Nova. " she assured her.
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Astra smiled relieved " I see thank you for explaining, I don't want to course you too much trouble for you guys. You're taking a huge risk even hiding me. Nova, I could help you Cool if you like I go pretty good at it when I was at the Academy" she smiled and giggled. " I was always getting Sol into trouble are punish meant was often helping in the kitchen it was kinda fun once you got past the no force powers role. One of the other kids lost control and sent a potato at a Masters Head." Astra giggled. One of her better memorys. " really thought Girls I would like to help in any way I can" she said.
The baby continued to babble back at Ava. " I hope you don't have force powers baby. But if you do I hope you don't have my 'gift' " she said making quotes in the air with her hands around the word gift.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava titled her head " its no trouble at all, something tells me you and Rosa will be another addition to our family. " than listened and titled her head "gift?" Knowing about force powers from her jedi friends.
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Astra smiled at that Family the one thing she truly wanted. " I can see into the future, if predicted possible two deaths Durro Thel-tanis' sister and my friend Roza. A bounty hunter miss identified her as me. I saw it the night before she died the vision scared me sencles and I did not pick up enough information to protect her. It's more of a curse the a gift and I can never get it to work when I want to use it. " Astra said quietly.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava listened looking a little surprised. She thought jedi could see into the future when they wanted to. She knew Tesara and durro would meditate to do it. She didn't knew that there was another method. " perhaps not, it sounds like you just need training. With training from my understanding you can learn how to use and control your gift. Our jedi friends should be able to help you. Unfortunately I can not though I wish I could it seems such a fascinating thing. " as she offer roza back to her mother
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Luna smiled carefully taking the Baby back. " Yes, it's complicated and hard to explain. Unfortunately, it's all I have known. Though we are thought to be good diplomats as well as worriers." She said trying to find some common ground with Ava and Nova. The child went back to sleep in a matter of minutes.
" so what brought you here other than my mother I don't remember her menching you guys as friends of hers," she said
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava nodded her head understanding " well it is good to always to resolve a conflict frist with words before fighting. Though on rare occasions its just best to do nothing, sometimes words nor using your hands will get you anywhere. " thinking about Reine. " however perhaps I just haven't figured out the right words. Were its similar to walking in a mine field one false step and you could get hurt. " thinking out loud for an moment. Than shook her head.
" oh I no, I myself never meet the queen. Which was unfortunate cause I always wanted to. I know durro, Tesara, and nova meet her though am not completely sure about Kaleb. " she softly spoke " I think out of everyone I just method durro meet with the queen the most. "
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/15/2021
"Correct. Durro has met her the most. Judging by how she had the foresight to give him that book, I think he saw that if she went to the Cathedral then she would of died. Which would explain why he was there and why she trusted him so much." Nova sighed. "I think she also decided to make the long journey to Lanus to see him. All I know is once we heard she was under house arrest for treason, I figured it was Durro's fault since he has been wanted." she gave a hum.
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Astra's ears parked up. "She what?! " Astra said without much thought. She was angry, sad, and confused all at once. She took several deep breaths. Control she needed to keep control over herself and her emotions.
" im sorry it appears I will need to meet with Durro at some point. He is wanted" astra asked. Clear she was confused.
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/15/2021
"I thought so. Yes apparently this planet thinks Durro is a terrorist, and we are his crew." Giving a shake of her head and a big sigh. "We have done nothing terroristic at all. Just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I went sightseeing and ended up being picked up and tortured all because I was seen interacting with someone." She then moved to the window. "Truly this planet is in disarray because they don't figure out the facts and just go off what the news tells them instead of asking the person."
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava raised a brow and sighed softly. As she thought about what to do. " love could you go get me something to drink please? I dont mind what you bring am just thirsty. " she assured her. As she waited for nova to leave the room.
" my apologies, Astra. I dont belive your mother and durro had anything stronger than a friendship. She probably needed someone outside her circles she could trust to safe gaurd her book. Someone she knew that wouldnt simply turn it over to the dooku family. " she assured her. " as for the treason part it was a cover since you said the dooku family has her. They probably came up with the cover cause what they are doing isn't legal. However if they play thire story just right they can conceal the truth about thire wrongful acts. " she was now talking a military stand point. " the more fluff in the story the stronger people will belive it unfortunately. I know how hard hearing this must be for you. Unfortunately when whomever started this decided to rope durro into it since she was seen with him the most. Probably a move to get him captured and questioned since they were seeking your fathes lightsaber "
Pausing for an moment to gather her thoughts " as what nova said about durro being a terrorist. It all started with an accident we control and sence that accident. Durro, nova and Tesara has been experiencing an string of unfortunate events. " choosing her words wisely. Since in the beginning the a few members hadn't exactly innocent. "
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Astra shook her head." The Jedi hunters have a bad habit of that. Sol was not like that though his job was to protect me." Astra said.
" im very sorry you went through that" astra said gently.
" yes it is hard and no I don't understand. It's funny I half want to stack Durro the other half of me says not to. For now I will waght and speak to him then decided where to go" Astra said
Lady Ryne Roke — 06/15/2021
Knowing Ava would ask, she walked to the door and gave a nod to Astra and left the room for a little while. She brought Ava a drink but didn't stick around.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
" I think that's a wise decision, to let him explain himself and than make a sound decision from there. Why dont you take this time to rest. I'll watch over roza for you. I promise she will be safe. " she assured her.
( an few hour time skip and than ava will be suggesting an outting to Astra. If you guys are alright with that. )
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Astra nodded " Do not leave this room with her, I trust you but I prefer a Jedi be around to protect her." She said. Astra herself used to be with Jedi it was clear she was used to their presents. She was far more inclined to trust them. Astra kissed the top of Roza's head before handing her off to Ava. She lay down and within minutes was out cold.
( OOC fine by me)
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava noticed that nova left after setting down her drink. She looked at the glass and sighed. Using beverages to send Nova off simply because Nova should be more careful about what she says. She felt like they were on a slippery slope. Wondering what she could to to save them she thought they gained some ground at thire date. However removing nova would be a foolish thing to do. Perhaps it be better if they were just friends. Frowning more feeling her emotions of sadness. When her comlink went off she calm herself and answered it. She was careful how she held Rosa as she talked over the comlink keeping her voice low. Once she was done with the conversation. She let Astra slept til it was time to wake her up. She gave them enough time to stop somewhere to pick up some clothing for Astra. Hoping her new friend would come with her specially when she told her she was going ask Tesara to come along. As she gently woke her up.
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Astra blinked " What's going, Roza?" She said quietly with half alarm. As she looked for the child almost panicked for a moment. So in the half-awake state had forgotten Ava was watching the baby.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava without any hesitation handed Roza over when Astra asked for her. Waiting a few minutes for Astra to fully wake up " hey its okay everything is fine, I was wondering if you and Roza would like coming to lunch with me? I would love to show you how am going be using sun co to bring peace. I am also going be ask Tesara to come with us. We can disguise you and I can introduce you as my friend." As ava informed her on her plan.
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Astra calmed down quickly. She rubbed her eyes and thought for a moment. " that sounds like fun" she said agreeing to come.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava smiled hearing her answer " I am glad to hear that. I'll shall give you some time to wake up while I go and ask Tesara. " as she walked to the door opening it and walked out of the bedroom. As she went to look for Tesara.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 06/15/2021
Tesara is awake, foraging for some food in the kitchen. There isn't much, but she found some oatmeal and is eating it when Ava approaches. "Hi, Ava. How is Astra? And the baby?"
@Governor Ava Forma
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava looked a little excited " great, me and Astra seems to be getting along very well. She even let me hold Roza. " giving a warm smile. " she has rested and was feed thanks to Nova. " I was wondering if you could come with us for lunch. I want you to see what my plans for sun co are. I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. Am planning on disguising Astra as my best friend. Using the dooku name should be find but maybe a different first name. I'll let her decide that since she's agreed to come. "
Tesara Anerin — 06/15/2021
Tesara looks thoughtful. "Are you sure using the Dooku name is wise? It's such a huge family with well known people. Can't you use Kenobi as a last name? Isn't that her married name?" Tesara asks.
@Governor Ava Forma
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
" I know more about the Dooku family than I do Kenobi unforchiinitly. Are you feeling better Tesaara?" She asked. As she walked in the the kitchen a currently awake and happy Roza cradled in her arms. She was in looking for ava.
" thank you for watching her Ava," she said happily. Then cast a glance around wanting to know where Reine was at. The last thing she wanted was another fight with that girl. " Tesara have you learned about the legacy or legendary crystals yet? Im afraid I have forgotten that lesson and there's no walking into the Sereno academy to finding the information " She said having distracted herself and gone off-topic.
@Tesara Anerin#3565 @DawnGatewood#3350
(OOC: sorry woke up from a nap and totally miss read so yah Idk if I should repeat this or not lol)
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava thought for an moment over it " actually I think Kenobi would work better than Dooku. Tesara has a point there, thank you for your suggestion Tesara. " thinking Kenobi would actually work better for Astra. " that just leaves the frist name. "
As she paused so Tesara could answer Astras question seeing that she had joined them in the kitchen. As she nodded her head " it was no problem really Astra really. " aslo keeping an eye out as well for Reine.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 06/15/2021
Tesara smiles at Astra. "I'm glad to see you are looking well, Lady Astra." She says, kind of uncertain how to address the future Queen and Princess of Baklid. "As for the Legacy Kyber Crystals, I only know what Durro told me about them here. They are more prevalent here than where we came from. Umm...did anyone here tell you where that was?
@Astra Korraay
(((OOC being called into a meeting that may last a while. Sorry!))
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Astra posed a moment. She was so not used to having a title. She looked almost uncomfortable for a moment. " please don't call me that I know im a princess but im no different from you. So just my name Astra is perfect." She said with a smile.
A Glare crossed her face Breffley at the mention of Durro. That was quickly replaced with a smile as she remainders herself that she did not have the full story. " No where are you from," she asked.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava listened making a mental note. Not wanting to make the same mistake accidentally. Noticing the glaring look when Tesara mentioned Durro. She sighed softly thinking how to recover durro more. Though she didn't have that much information. So she couldn't really fix this one. Though relaxed when she saw the glare disappear.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 06/15/2021
"Astra, then." Tesara smiled, setting down her spoon. "You may want to sit for this one. And I wouldn't blame you if you didn't believe me when I'm done, but I swear I am going to tell you the truth." She pulled out a chair for Astra and sat back down. "Master Durro and I are actually from another timeline. We were on Ava's ship just leaving a planet that was being blown up, and our ship got pulled into some kind of wormhole that set us outside our own timeline and into this one. We've been here ever since. A little over a year, actually. One of the reasons I said that we don't use legacy Kyber crystals is because where I come from, I don't think there is such a thing. If it is, it would be rare, whereas here it's very common. But..." She paused, sighed and shook her head. "I don't think we will ever return to our own timeline. Here we are, and here is where we have made choices to become involved. I want to stay here on Baklid and do what I can to stop the madness brought on by greed. I want to help you bring peace to Baklid; to help you carry on what your mother was trying to do. While I didn't have a gathering like you, and I will likely never achieve Knight status here because I don't agree with much of what the Jedi here stand for and do, I will continue on as a padawan without a master if Durro decides to leave. At this time I'm not sure what he will decide to do, but I have made my choice in you." She exhaled. It had been a lot to say.
@Astra Korraay @Governor Ava Forma
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Astra sat down concern washing over her face the story been incredible. " are you sure your ok" she asked and put the back on her hand agent Tesara's forhead. She wondered if Tesara had a fever. As she did not and was not visibly I'll she had to assume that Tesara was telling the truth. She removed her hand from Tesara's head. " you do appear to be sick so I will believe you are telling the truth" she said.
" as for the Legacy Kybers they are incredibly rare I believe there are only 32 to include mine once I find out which crystal it is. I don't remember much about them because they are not relevant to every Jedi sol and I was both happy to not have that responsibility." She said shaking her head.
As for your static as a Jedi, there are many paths to follow you don't have to go to one of the academy's as I did there are many ways to follow the light. Things are not always what they appear to be who knows many you will be the one to bring lasting change in the Jedi order here there way are inherently flawed?" Astra said with a smile.
Tesara Anerin — 06/15/2021
Tesara smiled back at her. "No, not sick. Yes, telling the truth. And as for the Kyber crystal, have you found which one of the three it is? I think it will reveal itself to you and no one else, save your mother of course. As for becoming a Jedi Knight, I believe that eventually I would have arrived at that destination, but the Jedi here...." She trails off, frowning. "They are hunters of darksiders but it feels as if they have somehow followed a path that led them away from the Light, despite their intentions to preserve it." She shrugs. "I can only control myself and do what I think is right."
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
Astra smiled and shook her head. " I did not even get the chance to look for it. I finger we will be here for a few days so there will be plenty of time." She said. She was still not sure she wanted to be responsible for the crystal.
" as for the Jedi their intentions are good they just get caught in politics way too much, I had to fight to even get a seat on the gathering and that was only after I was denied three times. As for the hunters they see the world in black and white there not bad people they just are not trained to work in shades of Gray. They are the best worries. And if never had the course to doubt them. But I may have been a bit spoiled. After the bounty hunter killed my friend Roza I always had a jedi Hunter to protect me when we left the Academy. " she said.
" don't give up on them they're not that far gone they just need a nudge in the right direction" Astra said. She still had hope for the Jedi order though she questioned it and saw its flaws.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 06/15/2021
Tesara nods. "They think I am a terrorist and they don't even know me. They just believe what they are told and act upon it." She sighs. "Yet we are all guilty of the same." She looked at Astra and saw the hesitation on her face about the crystal. "Do you want to find it?" She asked quietly. "You can say no. A kyber crystal doesn't dictate one's future."
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
" I know you are not a Terrorist, I don't know about Durro, I'll want to hear his story before a make a decision as to what I want to believe. But as for the rest of the order, there trains like soldiers to follow orders. They have no way of knowing your not a Terrorist" she said gently. She saw and understand Tesara's point of view but she also knows what she was raised under and with. She hoped she could help Tesara understand them.
" I don't know its a huge responsibility and im afraid I will fail" she said quietly. She made a mental note that she could not hide her feelings from Tesara.
Tesara Anerin — 06/15/2021
“That is absolutely fair. You will get to meet Durro soon.” She says. “And as for failing, you won’t. Because you won’t be alone.”
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava listened a little surprised Tesara let the cat out of the bag. She was going wait til Astra had settle into the group a little more. However Astra seemed to take it well. She wasn't calling Tesara as crazy person or anything drastic. She breath out a sigh of relief. " yes what Tesara is true, we are indeed from another universe. " as she than remained quiet as Tesara and Astra spoke to each other. She didnt have any input on the crystal other than durros advice he often said to Tesara. To meditate and open yourself to the force, however she was sure Tesara could cover this better than she could. Keeping quiet as they talked as well as paying attention to the time.
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
" I hope not" she said.
Tesara Anerin — 06/15/2021
Tesara had caught Ava’s surprise that she had revealed the truth so quickly and plainly, but it was unfair to Astra to hide anything from her at this point. She had just put her life in the life of her baby and Tesara‘s keeping. The time for secrets with each other was over.
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
" everyone at some point of time fails, when you first learn how to walk. The best thing you can do is keep trying til you figure it out. I know to try my hardest not to fail but when I do, I push myself to keep going so I can come back stronger. Aslo you do have help from Tesara and Durro if you need it along way. " she assured her.
Astra Korraay — 06/15/2021
"That's true But I also have you and Nova. Don't we have a meeting to get to" Astra asked.
Tesara Anerin — 06/15/2021
“Yes, we do.” She smiled. “Let’s go.”
.
End scene?
Governor Ava Forma — 06/15/2021
Ava as lead them out of the kitchen and though the living room she give a smile and wave to Reine as she bid Reine good bye as well as Kaleb informing them they were heading out of a lunch with sun co as they left the house and got a transport a few houses down. Making a stop for clothes for Astra before heading off to where the lunch was being held at.
