“So, did you just hop off of a transport? No job, no place to stay, jumping headfirst into wherever life takes you?”<br/><br/>Saersha shrugged and gave an embarrassed laugh. She didn’t take it to mean anything negative when he said it, it was honestly the truth. Well, mostly, “more like stowed away on a trader’s ship, but essentially, yeah.” She recalled the event. She seemed to stay rather easily hidden for most of the trip, but eventually she was caught and dumped at the nearest port. At the very least they had enough decency to give her a few credits, just enough to send her back to Lunari, though they did so begrudgingly, not wanting to see a girl her size get into trouble on a planet like this one, but they weren’t going to turn around for her either. Either way, she had no inclination to go back there.<br/><br/>“Ah! I was caught pretty quickly, though! I’m not very good at being sneaky.” She added, realizing that it might make her sound underhanded or conniving, hopping aboard a ship without charge and hiding away, “and they were really nice to me. Didn’t even blame me. Apparently they never liked working with my tribe’s leaders, said they were too stuffy and snooty. Well...they’re not wrong.” She gave another shrug. “My people seem to despise any and all outsiders. It can get frustrating the amount of hate there is to go around there.” With another sigh, she continued talking up the traders as they were the ones she mostly wronged. “At least the nice traders gave me a few credits to start myself off, and after asking a few people around, I used what little I had to come here.” Ok, so she may have been lying a little bit, but what could she do? She already put her foot in her mouth by blurting out her admission to illegally traveling. And she really needed a job. “I guess I’m just here because I just want to start a new life with new people, and maybe even find my own little slice of happiness.”<br/><br/>The Lunarian began to feel rather awkward all of a sudden. Even more so around Paskar. He was so incredibly nice and warm, and all she did was make a fool of herself with all her ramblings. But he didn’t seem to be moving on to anything else at the moment, so while they both stared at the details of the establishment, at least there was that camaraderie of feeling very far from home. She decided to latch on that feeling, if for no other reason then to get away from the embarrassment bubbling inside of her. “So...how long have you been here? What made you decide to leave your home?”<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="809" data-username="@Obscene" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/809/">@Obscene</a>
