Thal-ion watched her for a bit as she gathered the sheet around her and some clothing before finally gathering his discarded clothing from the floor, and leaving her room.  He did not hurry; for he had zero desire to leave her presence.  Still, there were things to do, and the Force was calling to them to act.  As such, as nice as the time with her had been in this intimate fashion; it was time to return to his duties as a Jedi.  In his room, he cleaned himself up before putting on a new outfit.  This one was truly for combat, but again did not have the traditional colors most Jedi wore.  Instead, the black leggings were sleek and conformed to him without being restrictive; while the dark forest green tunic was form fitting enough to provide him with a trim appearance.  In doing so, it cut down on resistance from any loose clothing he might normally have worn, and over this he wore only his equally dark green all-temperature cloak in order to protect himself from the violent heat of Tatooine.  With himself now fully attired and his lightsaber clipped to his belt on the left - Thal-ion went off to meet Alethea in the main common area where they had ate earlier the day before.<br/><br/>There she was already preparing breakfast for them.  It was a wise idea considering they had much to do for the day if they were to succeed in changing history.  For a moment, he simply gazed at her beauty which shone forth both physically and in the Force.  He was drawn to her still even after their time of passion, but there was no call to sweep her up in such again.  Instead, he came to her, and embraced her warmly before sitting with her at the only table in the common room.  With a couple of bites taken; the young Sentinel turned his mind towards their mission.<br/><br/>"Alethea, I think it is time we went into Mos Espa if we are to help Anakin from turning to the Dark Side.  The visions showed us his mother as a focal point for us.  We shall need to see what is going on there before we act, but this idea of the podrace in order to gain the money and parts to repair their ship seems to also fit somehow.  Thus, us entering Mos Espa will allow us to further investigate, and perhaps the Force will show us a way to save Shimi Skywalker.  We can then act from there.  To do otherwise would be most unwise of us," Thal-ion began.<br/><br/>He waited for her to express any of her own thoughts, and continued to eat.  There was little else they could do without information.  Blundering around in the timeline was not just foolish, but extremely destructive.  They had to act surgically and swiftly.  One false step could lead to a worse time than the one they had left.  At least in their timeline; the Jedi Order had been resurrected, and the Republic had been reformed after a fashion.  Yet, the loss of so many Jedi...so many good people in the Clone Wars and tragedies was not something they could ignore.  Already they had stopped one person from assassinating the Queen of Naboo from their timeline, and further stopped his apprentice on the dying space station before.  How many more agents had come through to unravel things?  That was the other concern, but neither of them had felt such a presence on Tatooine.  This gave them the chance to score one for the better.  Once they were done here; they could return to Coruscant and see if any other agents had found their way in.  If nothing could felt or found; then they were in the clear and could continue to help those in this timeline.  Otherwise, it would be their duty to hunt such agents of chaos down...permanently.<br/><br/>Facing the Jedi Council was not a pleasing prospect for Thal-ion.  There was too much unknown about the Council; for many of the records of this time were gone now thanks to Emperor Palpatine.  Yet, he knew enough to know who was on the Council - one in particular:  Grand Master Yoda.  Luke Skywalker had once told them all that lying to Yoda was nearly impossible.  He could see into a person more deeply than any usually wished for them to.  What would the ancient Master do when he looked into them?  And what of Master Windu and his ability to see shatterpoints?  What would he see while looking at them in the Force.  There were too many questions, and simply no answers.  Worrying about all of that was no good to either of them now.  So, Thal-ion returned his attention to the present matter at hand while eating the meal his companion had made.  Even now, though, he could feel her warmth and presence far more than he use to be able to.  He didn't even have to reach in the Force to find her - she was simply there already...a glowing beacon in the Force.
