Jek wiped at his mouth as they approached what appeared to be the their source of transportation and was glad to see the many options. He watched and listened as Jax negotiated for a speeder bike, cringing internally because nothing kept up with their speed as nicely. So much for a relaxing ride. He stepped up to request the same thing, he thanked the man and left a few credits for information, information he had subtly taken from the mans head on speeders, it appeared that it wasn't much different from driving a ship. Starting up the bike, he wa soon following after his friend as they speed across the varying landscape in first one direction and then the next. He took note that there was no way to tell which town they were heading for if someone had watched them leave. For that he was grateful as they rushed along, easing up as they began to approach their current destination.<span style="font-style: italic">"I wonder if we will encounter them today, or perhaps tomorrow. Whomever it is."</span><br/><br/>Leaving the speeders, Jek gave his hand a wave so the one in charge of the Hub didn't know which way they went, only that they had left the speeders. Then he was following after Jax "Yes, this town seems like it has a Cantina." he said, and true enough it had not taken them long to find it. Sitting with him in the best location for ease dropping on conversations. But first they would need to blend, ensuring his lightsaber was still hidden as the bar tender approached, he ordered them both light drinks and whatever the special was. He paid, since he had been left with the most credits.<span style="font-style: italic">"Which have of the bar do you want to focus on?"</span>he asked, taking a sip of the drink. He had to keep a neutral face when it hit his tongue and he moved his hand to cover Jax's before he even had a sip.<span style="font-style: italic">"Don't drink that... Just... Don't."</span>He wiped at his mouth, muttering a grateful smile to their bar tender when food came their way. He wasn't sure he wanted it anymore.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>An-Lok had to find control over the emotions tumbling around within her. She turned her attention to Aeris as a hand was placed on her shoulder, the pain in the other womans eyes matched her own and she nodded at her before taking a deep breath. She felt drained and weak, but she knew that as a Sith, could not display it as they continued on with their mission. Of course, the ultimatum that she was given had not been expected and she was mildly surprised at what Aeris was telling her. She rose up, pulled her hood further forwards to hide her face even more and followed after her off of the roof. She knew the other was blocking their bond and decided to do the same. Her boots made a lighter sound than normal, not quite matching the other womans soundless walk as they made their way to the edge of town and transportation. No longer near where the shuttle from the Cruiser brought them down, she wondered how long it would take to get them back or have it re-routed for pick-up. She didn't have much time to consider it as the other woman was getting into a speeder, she quickly followed, settling into the seat beside her before they were taking off, steadily going faster.<br/><br/>"I can't face him." An said, having sat there watching Aeris squirm in her seat more than the passing landscape. "Revan led us into something better, but I'd have never left the Jedi if I'd faced him." she told her, knowing the other woman felt the same. They had left to make a change in the galaxy, to save people and worlds from dying. "And I know you're stronger than you give yourself credit for. You always have been." she told her, glancing to see if they were nearing a town. The wind whipped off her hood, but she ignored it as she looked back to her friend. "Despite that you always made Force Bonds to easily, you've been stronger and better at control of your emotions. Mine, are displayed across my face." she said, black finger tips grazing the edges of darkend veins. "I can't face him." she said again, still blocking their bond and the heartache she felt. "I don't know what I'll do if I see him. I avoided him in order to protect him and now he's here as if to divert me from my path and I can't... I won't let him." she said, pulling the hood up as they began to near a town. She could not feel the Force Sensitives and knew someone was hiding them from them on purpose. "Jax deserves better than to see me like this. When we find those we came here for, I won't go with you. I'll make sure the group is taken back to the Cruiser instead, that they recieve proper quarters instead of being detained in cells." she added, hoping free of the speeder as it stopped.<br/><br/>Lightsaber soon in hand, An-Lok was soon walking through the town in a commanding way, following a pull of the Force towards the Force Senstives. She would call for transport once she was sure she knew were they were. Slowly through town, weaving in and out of the alleys and streets until they were arriving at a large home. "Huh... Seems one of the Nobles has secrets." she said, marching up the steps, holding the hilt of her lightsaber at the ready. A wave of her hand Force Pushed the guards at the door of her way before she was kicking them and barging into the open space of the house. "Where are they!?" she demanded, letting her anger create a distrubing and powerful image of an impatient Sith Lord ready to fight. She was also still actively blocking all emotions from Aeris.
