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

*Nicos and Anoon enter the building*

Nicos: who Is that?

his name is Jo'tra, he is... an apprentice of mine..

Nicos: an apprentice.. what are you talking about Anoon?

nicos... I... I mean that... I am not a slave anymore...

Nicos: but in the city he...

that was only a disguise... Nicos... I am a Jedi Knight now...

Nicos: what do you mean... a knight, but... how... when?

I have been training for a while now... I became a knight, and now I help others train themselves... even Loú

Nicos: she is there... how is she? did she come with you?

No, I did not wish to bring her... you forgive her so easaly Nicos...

Nicos: Anoon we cannot be bitter forever, as a knight you should know that as well as i do, so this Jo'tra.. you say he is an apprentice of yours?

not for much longer i hope, He is skilled enough to be a knight i think, I promiced him a trip before we both got some hard work done,

Nicos: Anoon it has been too long since we spoke, you should come visit your family more...

while they are here that is hard... you are the only family i know Nicos,

Nicos: you havent found father yet?

I am afraid not... I dont even know his name...

*walks in after they have conversed*

...

I didn't want to disturb you...

< ... >

ypu are not disturbing us Jo'tra...

Nicos: So... your the apprentice then... pleased to meet you...

Jo'tra desided to come here, although i dont know why yet,
how are you Nicos, I expected you to be working in the mines still....

Nicos: No, I had to stop a while back, a lot of the workers have been dieing and such... I just dident think that it was a good idea, and anyway there are other ways to pay the rent in a place like this...

*sigh*
Nicos, I thought you were ment to be the responcable one between us..

Nicos: what give you that impression little sister, responsability is a great thing when you cant advoid it.

Nicos, you know thts not the truth...

Nicos: yeah I just wanted to see the expresion on your face when i said it

Nicos your a terrable tease!

Nicos: *laughs* I know, I am sorry, please you and your apprentice should come and sit down, this was your home once as well you know...

Thank you for your hospetality brother, and i was so sure that no-one would know it was me when we were walking through the market, I guess it takes more than a cape with its hood up and four long years to disguise myself from you Nicos...

Nicos: Indeed, you may be slightly older than last time we talked, but your still my little sister Anoon, you cant hide from me so easaly...

*laughs* It was not from you I was hideing Nicos, there is only one man i truely fear and he is not here on Ryloth, nor is he likely to be thank goodness...

Nicos: what is it... gotten yourself into more trouble then?

you could say that... yes... in a manner of speaking,

Nicos: *laughs* It is always the same sister, last time you had gotten into bother as well. and the advice i gave you then should still be helpful, you cannot run from your fears, you must confrunt them...

Nicos that is the advice that almost got me back on Kessel, it was luck that the ship landed on Yavin 4 with engene troubles...

Nicos: engine trouble... you mean you sabotaged it... And last time i said confrunt your fears i dident know you would do something so silly,

and I thought you knew me well Nicos, *laughs*

*looks between the two*

so you are her brother...

can you tell her not to be so meean to her apprentices

what do you meen I am not Mean to my apprentices,
lessons must be learned

Nicos: an apprentice should respect there master...

I need a seat

*sits down on the floor*

let me guess... she got this whole how to train thing from you?

*looks at Jo'tra curiously*
Nicos: what do you mean?

well... he did have his hand in makeing sure his little sister was alright

her philosphies... they can be... interesting as he way of teaching us...

with riddles...

I thought her brother was a slave... if so, what are you doing here?

Ryloth take.. femail slaves mostly...

Nicos: I used to work in the Ryll mines, we were all brought here by father when he.....

he sold his own family into slavery...

Your father... how could he do that to his won family?

Did Anoon tell you... your sister is on Yavin 4

Nicos: she mentioned it yes, I am glad she is well...

Nicos what is happening around here? its... very tense...

8reaches out with the force*

they do seem that way...

Nicos: I dont know, theres been talk of something big round the mineing station... you shouldent get involved...
you cant anyway, no woman alowed to talk in meetings remember...

Stupid system..

but we are Jedi...

what sort of thing is happening?

I could go...

Nicos: even Jedi should stick to there own buiseness... you could go if you wished but its probably nothing more than a petty dispute, and... you might need to work there a while for them to talk to you openly...

nicos you cant be serious.. you cant expect them to give him a job in those mines, hes not a minor hes a jedi...
