h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*manages a small smile*You sound like Ale'eson...*gets up*

So,what's Corellia like?

*takes ina deep breath and smiles*

Its a bit like Naboo but the cities are more welll... built up

I live ouside Coronet in the country side... just close enough to get into the city if need be... but far enough away so my fatehrs work doesn't come visiting too often

Father's work?...

Oh,so you're from *those* Giburs!Yeah,I can see your piont.Everywhere we went,it was work work work.People don't seem to understand people want time *together*.It was so hard to get time alone with him.

*shakes his head* ah so you have heard of my family then...

*kicks a stone* yeah well he says he isn't in that line of work anymore... I believe him this time

Take you didn't follow the family trade then.Well...*brushes self down*Lemme tell you something about that world.Everyone hears about everyone.I've heard of him,I heard Ma'rol married Anie before I came here...ask him,and I'll your dad's heard of me,Outer Rim or no.*Everyone* hears about *everyone*.I'm not boasting,it's a simple fact.

I'm sure he will have heard of you... information was always his specialty...

Considering it's unusual to have two bounty-hunters working together...especially considering who we hunted...They always tend to go in big groups or alone.I have no idea why.*shrugs*

*moves to her side and uses the force to calm her just in subtle ways so not to be noticed*

how did he die?

He - he got in the way.*swallows*We were tracking this escaped convict on Ashkara,and Ja'mor...Ja'mor got in the way of his blaster.We didn't even know he had a weapon!

*single tear trickles down her cheek*

He died in my arms.His last word was my name...

*rubs her back and sends comfort through the force*

thank you for saying... I would rather have heard it from you than my father....

Well,wouldn't that be a way to start my training?With hiding things?Besides *sniffs and wipes eyes* I trust you.

you trust me?

*stands on a rock* levitate me and the rock above your head

*eyes widen*

Above,my head?Are you -
Nope,not going to finish that.But if I can't hold it,you're gonna have one very squashed padawan on your hands.

trust me

*Jo'tra looks in distress as if he has sensed something that happened in the Academy*

*he falls off the rock*

*the padawans all stop sparring to look at him*

I'm all right... change partners...

*the padawans change partners*

*Jo'tra sighs*

*frowns*
You felt that then?

What was it?

*frowns harder,then it gives way to *very* worried expression*

Can you sense Anoon or the baby?I sure as hell can't,and that's never happened before...unless she wasn't on the planet.

*glances fearfully at Jo'tra*

Tell me she was planning to visit Ni'cos today.
