Cait. Gin & Takeda enroute to somewhere

[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait smiles kindly at Ayu'lesh seeing the thank you in her face.

When Ayu'lesh finally gets the thank you out Cait says. You're very welcome. Use them well to protect yourself and those you care about and I will be well thanked.

When Ayu'lesh runs from the room to the washroom Cait says. Poor girl. I don't think she been shown much kindness in her life.

[Gin Xyrin]

"the past is the past cait, even if the wounds it that the past leaves refuse to heal it is still ingraved in history as a mere fact nothing more"

~gin gives at ayu'lesh a real smile that shows he is still very much human even though he claims other wise~ "your welcome, and when we make it planetside i'll give you lessons on impromtu swordsmanship it may be no proper style but it will keep you alive in a pinch"

~as she rushs from the room he sighs and nods in agreement with cait~ "she's been through alot and has the emotional wounds and scars to show for it. lets just hope that they can be healed."

~walking to his gear he grabs his claymore and leans against a wall the sheathed blade resting in against his shoulder and closes his eyes~ "so how did corey get himself into a postion of power much less one as high up as kage"

~sighing he leans his head back~ "wish kite or aeron stayed in that seat least they had the common sense to stay out of trouble and the power to get themselves out of anything that happened"

"and where in the bloody hell are we going cause being in the dark is getting old"

[Caitlin Windancer]

True Gin but the wounds from the past can leave scars as you well know.

I hope so. That will depend on if she will let us help her heal them and how deep they go. Some wounds don't heal easily.

Corey being Kage? Oh by default, none of the other Masters have been around. In fact he has been trying to find them. He has only taken the position temporarily until Aeron or someone else higher up comes back. Or that is what he told me when he visited me on Yavin IV.

Cait chuckles.

You got me Gin. I don't like being in the dark anymore than you do.

To Takeda.

I think it is about time we got our guest her own bunk don't you think? Or are you giving her yours?

[Takeda]

Takeda, hearing both Gin and Cait so subtly inquire to their destination...

"I had input coordinates and requested a route out to Corellia via Columus. However where we actually want to go is of course a different matter entirely.

Does anyone have a suggestion? I am open to head elsewhere, but if no one objects or has a better idea, there is a system I am very curious to take a look at that I happened upon in the updated Astro-charts. It is a good bit out of the way though"

Takeda looks at everyone, hoping the revelation of where they are and might be going is enough to stave off a mutiny... or at least from Phedra joining in on him as well.

Then Cait hits him with the comment about giving up his own bunk, not expecting it from her it stands there shocked for a moment before replying.
"Yes, I was going to work on that in just a moment... He ponders for a moment and out of a desire of self preservation and realizing that he and Gin as men are now outnumbered:
"I think it best that maybe you handle assigning who is sleeping where for everyone, that way you can make sure she is not having a relapse, and she may feel a little safer or at least welcome if she has company to talk with.

[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait shakes her head. I'm open to wherever you want to go Takeda.
I'm along for the ride.

I'm not trying to rush you Takeda. I just thought you might want your private quarters back. After all you are the Captain of this ship. You should have private quarters.

If we don't have enough room Phedra can bunk with me to give Ayu'lesh a room. I'm sure she would like to have a place that is her own place. It will make her feel more secure.

I'm not worried about it. I'm sure you will think of something appropriate.

Phedra just nods. I agree with Cait.

[Takeda]

Takeda nods.
"There is just enough bunks for people not to have to share a bed or sleep in shifts. If you think it best I will sleep in one of the tubes... I leave it up to you.

About that time Ayu'lesh returns to the room looking much more in control of herself and also much cleaner having washed up. She sits back down on the edge of the bed and returns to snacking on the food that was brought, still a bit short on manners but not eating like a hungry vorksnyr.

[Caitlin Windancer]

Good. Then we can all have one.

No, Takeda I think you should have your room. We can take the tubes. Besides that is probably more than she has ever had. Just as long as she as something that is hers she should be fine.

To Ayu'lesh when she comes back.
Feeling better? If you are still hungry there is more. We were just discussing which of the bunks you would like for your own.

[Gin Xyrin]

~gin from his sitting position chuckles at cait~ "never figured Corey would actively search for the other higher ranking individuals, kinda happy that i never joined the order now since it seems to have less order than the inner workings of my mind"

~looking over at takeda~ "i say we go into the wild blue yonder but then again I'm up for anything, jus' as long as we stop at a planet with normal to high gravity as a general along the way so i can give Ayu a few lessons on how to use her new blade"

~overhearing the back and forth about bedding gin sighs~ "take me out of the equation I'll sleep right here against this rather nice and cool wall with my weapons"

~leaning his head back completely it lightly thumping against the wall he relaxes immensely~ "feels like when i was back with them" ~he starts humming a very old lullaby~

[Takeda]

Ayu'lesh finishes a piece of the roast she had been eating and then sets the plate down, before wiping her hands on the thighs of her pants.

"Yes, thank you. I am having a hard time adjusting to this and to ya'll, I hope you can bear with me till I get my wits about me better.'
She grins to Cait and then to Takeda in turn, then makes a sideways nod with her head in Gin's direction.

"I think I might follow Gin's lead on the sleep thing. I'm happy to sleep anywhere I am told, but anything with an actual bed would be magnificent.

As far as where we are going, anywhere is fine with me, I don't remember being out of system before, and I have only made it down to Kuat itself once or twice in my life, it is just too risky. That is where the Ten have their estates and manors, as well as all nobles and corporate high-up that can afford to, so security is really tight.

She gathers up her new things, and scoops up her satchel and its contents, biting her lip when she does so, after a moment of what seems like inner debate with her self:
"So you found it? I honestly did not know what I was grabbing at the time, I thought it was some sort of specialized power-coupling or the like. I know that might be borderline suicidal as well, but one of those?! No, I was not that desperate to die. I only found out yesterday when I got to Redrish that one of the Hutts is putting up a bounty on it, and on a certain red-head.

She cringes when she realizes that Cait is a redhead as well. Her nose wrinkles up as she makes a she just stepped in it face as she looks to Cait with an apologetic look in her eyes.
"Sorry... You must get enough unwanted attention with that hair already"

[Caitlin Windancer]

Yeah well that is what he said Gin.

She laughs when he leans against the wall.
I think we can find you a bed too Gin. You don't have to sleep on the floor. Unless you want to.

What is that your singing Gin? Its pretty.


Cait smiles at her. You're welcome. I think you have a hard time in general. And we will give you all the time you need to adjust us. We are an odd bunch to get use to.

She throws a wink to Takeda and Gin to show them she is teasing. Phedra rolls her eyes but chuckles. Speak for yourself Cait.

Cait sticks her tongue out at Phedra who just laughs.

Very funny, Phedra. Cait says then she laughs too.

I can show you the empty bunks and you can take your pick. You can also pick which locker you want to store your stuff. Phedra doesn't have a preference and will take the ones you don't want.
It will be yours as long as you choose to stay with us.
She looks at Takeda. Then she goes and picks up her harp and walks to the door. Isn't that right Captain Takeda?

Yes, we found it. We were wondering how you came to have it. Not quite. It is a weapon and a dangerous one if you don't know how to use it properly. Unless you like cutting off your body parts then playing with a lightsaber is not a good idea.

Hutts and a bounty? Oh great. *rubs her forehead* Hutts are not one of my favorite beings to deal with.

To Takeda. Well it seems we know now why they were after her. I wonder why the Hutts are so interested in this.

Cait just laughs when Ayu'lesh mentions redheads then cringes. You have nothing to be sorry for. I happen to like the color of my hair as do a lot of people . And if some one has problem with it that's their problem not mine. Besides most of the attention I have gotten from it has been positive in nature. And in my family it is considered mark of special ability.

[Gin Xyrin]

~Gin nods his head his eyes closed at cait~ "i'm actually rather comfortable as i am reminds me of the good old days when all i had to do was point and shoot, besides that if i am calculating correctly, mind you i'm still a little unstable, but that leaves an empty bunk that you can do with as you will, just toss me a blanket or a tarp or something an i'll be good"

~stopping his humming he cracks a his eyes open trying to aviod any potential water works as he looks at cait~ "I'm not actually sure of the name or much of the lyrics but it was a lullaby that my sister hummed to me and almost a decade later to her son my god-son before well lets just say the rest is a part of history i'm not disclosing at the moment" ~closing his eyes he starts humming again~

~lightly chucking at caits comment he lazily taps his head~ "no complaints on the odd factor after all i can assure you i'm not the only one taking up residence in this skull"

~chucking at the comment of stealing something being borderline suicidal~ "been there and tried for years, made alot of cash by accident"

~not caring about much of the conversation involving the saber he does perk up at hearing about the hutts~ "does this mean we might have a run in with those oversized lugs and if so that leads me to wonder what would happen if one were to dump several dozen pounds of salt on one"

[Takeda]

Takeda Nods to each in turn then gestures for Ayu'lesh to accompany him.

"Here, use this one. That is Cait's and this one here I think is the one Phedra uses."Gesturing to each tube in turn.

"I know they are a bit over-sized for non Kwa, but that has got to be better than the other way around."

As the girl stows her things, and hops up, he pulls the saber from his belt and goes to hand it to her before pausing.
"This of course is yours, I have no intention of taking it from you. However may I hold onto it to examine it and have Cait do the same?"

***

Ayu'lesh realizes that after healing, eating, and a quick clean-up she is as Cait predicted, exhausted. As Takeda gestures for her to follow him outside the room, she gives a little wave "goodnight" to her rescuers.

"I am tired Cait, you were right. Oh, and Gin, beautiful song."

She stows her meager items in the tube with her, including the new items given to her by the odd collection of beings on this ship. She looks a little perplexed and then bits her lip as she ponders T's request to hang on to the lightsaber for now, though after a moment she answers.
"Not a problem, honestly I did not think I was going to get it back, and really it may be more dangerous and troublesome than it is worth."

She hops into the tube, smiles as she realizes it is almost the same size bed as in the room... she considers trying to sleep sideways in it, then decides to be more conventional in her orientation. After a quick once over and rummage she smiles to T and closes the door... Of course she takes a good look at her new loot before falling asleep.

***

T walks back into the room and takes a seat on his bunk as Cait and Phedra converse and listen to the rest of Gin's song.

"Hutts are bad news, I never liked dealing with them. Aside from the rather unsavory nature of their average contracts, they have a habit of changing their minds, and they have a terrible memory for the number of digits they are going to pay... they always loose at least a zero off the total."

[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait smiles at Gin, amused. That may be Gin but I think Takeda wants his room back. If you want to sleep on the floor why don't you sleep in his workshop.

She looks at Takeda and says to him. If that is alright with you Takeda? Then says to Gin.

There is more room in there at least floorwise. I think we can find you some blankets and a pillow if that is your preference.

It sounds familiar. She says of the lullaby. She cocks her head to the side. I wish I could remember where I heard it before.
When she senses his sadness she doesn't press the issue. Sorry Gin didn't mean to bring up bad memories. She then tries to think of something to change the subject.

Cait chuckles at Gin's comment. I hope you have enough room in there. If you get anymore you might have to put on an addition.

Cait throws Gin an amused look at his salt comment. I don't know I never tried it. If they are looking for the saber and Ayu'lesh then I'm sure we will encounter them soon or later or their goons at least.

Cait follows them out to and rumages around in her bags for clean clothes.

To Ayu'lesh as Cait passes Ayu'lesh's quarters and hearing her comment about being tired. Cait says with a smile. Then you should get some sleep then. Cait continues on to the refresher to clean up and put on fresh clothes.

She comes back into the room just before Takeda comes back from settling Ayu'lesh in. She drying her hair while she listens to Gin's song. She humming along with him absentmindedly as she dries her hair. When Takeda mentions the Hutts she stop humming and looks at him.

No one likes to deal with them if they are smart. Unsavory is right. Cait makes a face.
She laughs at his mention of their memories in regards to payment. That is because they use a different type of numbering system or so I have heard.

[Gin Xyrin]

~looking around gin nods before cocking his head to the side~ "uh yeah that might be a good idea so which way is it to the workshop, besides if something has a delayed explosion on my gear that'll put a gap between it and everyone else, and i only need a blanket no pillow course thats if its cool with you takeda"

~chucking as he stands he nods to ayu'lesh still humming~ "thanks wish i could say it was a song that held nothing but good memories but it is rather pleasing."

~looking at cait he just smiles~ "if you remember the name please tell me it would help to some degree, and don't worry about the bad memories they're just that memories besides the tune is calming"

~letting out a deep laugh at caits comment~ "now don't temp jester he might try and fracture himself besides do you really want someone like me with two heads"

~shruging at the comments about the hutts he grabs his gear his humming never ending even when he speaks his voice sounds like he's singing~ "if don't meet them then good if we do then good i'm sure that enough slugs into anything including them or their lackys is enough to aid them in rapidly shuffling off their mortal coil, besides in all my missions and jobs i've never got to introduce a bullet to a hutt's brain pan, and on money this may sound evil but you kill 'em all and it don't really matter"
