Baxter's eyes widen in shock and fear "PIRA-?!" he shrieked but Kari cuts him off by covering her hand over his mouth to shush him.
She didn't look at Baxter, she puts a big smirk on her face and grins "I'm in" she agreed to go with Jaing, desperate to leave Ossus for the first time, perhaps, Jaing knows she will be up for another wild swoop bike races once again. She remembers how it feared both Jaing and Baxter with her while she rode on it.

"Good," Jaing said. He bowed to them all and turned on his heel, swallowed by the growing shadows.
Skye blew out a breath. Her Master excused herself and left, leaving the two alone together. "I really thought I couldn't go," said Skye. "Terrified, more like. Thanks for sticking up for me like that. Really. I'm going to get an earful about not going to the MedBay, anyway." She snorted. "How come I've never met you before?"

"Master Jaing always give me an earful" Karissa says standing in front of her, and about to answer her question, she raised an eyebrow.
"Perhaps, you never seen me before, I've been in here for years. Unfortunately, you don't get to see much of me lately in the Temple, that the reason why you never met me before" Karissa cleared her throat for the moment, shifting her weight. "I take it you met Master Jaing before?" she asks, wanting to get to know the Kiffar girl a bit better before the mission.

"Yeah," Skye said brightly. "He wanted me as a Padawan, except the Council wouldn't let him take me." She shrugged nonchalantly. "I guess they didn't want two hotheads on one team. The Council always has their nose in the air, it seems."
Skye used the Force to leap up on to a higher branch, and maneuvered herself so she was hanging off of it by her knees. "All the bruises are from him," she added. "We were trying to figure out Vapaad. He lost control and knocked me out. Owch." Blood was rushing up to her face from the upside-down angle she had taken: Ossus gravity was heavier than other planets, and was making her blood rush up double time. "He's better than my Master, I'll give him that."

Karissa looks in surprise at Skye, hearing what she has said "Good old Jaing. You will be surprised that he taught me Vapaad once before. Good thing, he never knock me out..." Karissa leans against the tree, looking up at Skye on the tree branch while Baxter lays on Kari's shoulder to rest. "Master Jaing ain't that bad, he's a good man, raised me up. He was like a father I never have before..." Karissa looks down eyeing her shoes. "What's wrong with your master?" she asks, concern why Skye and Amaya aren't getting very close like she and Jaing has.
Unaware to both Kiffars, there was a spy hiding up in the tree watching her eyes on Karissa. There was the same tattoo marks on her face identical to Karissa's face...

"Don't get me wrong, Master Amaya is nice, but..." Skye shrugged. "I can't really explain it. It's like she's too tight, too... stiff, if you know what I mean. I just got her two days ago, and the only thing she does is teach me. We don't talk. We don't do anything together, really. She's a great teacher, nice, and caring, but she's going to drive me insane. She thinks because I'm fourteen, I'm weak."
Something Karissa said before caught her off guard. "How could he teach you Vaapad?!" she cried. "We were both trying to practice it, it's only reserved for Masters. I think we almost have it, too. Dammit." She dropped from the tree and kicked a rock angrily. "I thought I'd be the first Padawan to Master it."

Listening to about her relationship with Amaya Disse "She's ain't that bad, but you got to listen to her. But you need to learn to trust her"
After watching Skye getting angrily, kicking the rock. Kari walks over to Skye putting her hand on her shoulder to calm her down "Hey, don't let the anger influenece you. There is no emotion, there is peace." Kari says trying to get Skye to face her "Master Jaing taught me everything including Vaapad in the last 15 years of my life. Hell, that's maybe it because I'm his adopted daughter and the Council lets him teach me to learn Vaapad"
Karissa stops for the minute, not going any further, she hopes her words won't anger Skye. Karissa didn't breathe another word, turning her back on Skye, sighing heavily.

"I don't think the Council let him," Skye said, grinning, now. "He isn't even a Master yet. They won't make him one. He must've been watching Master Shalin teach it to Koa Nea." She shrugged. "I need to get a few things at the town. You want to come?" The change of subject must have worked, because Karissa wouldn't press anymore. "Not that you have to," Skye added. "But if we're going on a mission together, I'd say we better stuff ourselves here instead of eating the prison food they serve us at the Enclave."
She grinned, letting Karissa know that she was joking about the prison food.

Karissa turns to face Skye. She smirks a bit knowing she is joking about the prison food, leaning in to Skye's face "Oh don't worry about me, kid. I will live without food, just because I'm a vegetarian" Karissa says in her sarcastic tone. "Besides, I will accompany you to the town, if you like. Seems like I like to know you a bit more before the mission"

"I ain't a kid," Skye pointed out, effortlessly picking out paths through the thickest foilage, gathering only a few small scratches. "I'm fourteen. Old enough to marry a hot guy and have a kid on some planets. Though I wouldn't try it."
Skye was silent, then. A feeling in the back of her throat warned her of danger. She took out her lightsaber from her belt. "Just a precaution," she said. "There're animals here bigger than Koa Nea. And wider." Using her talent with the land, Skye kept going through the forest. The trees and leaves seemed to part before her, though there was no visible tampering. Her Master, Amaya, envied her of this skill, telling Skye that this power came to her so naturally that Amaya couldn't even feel what was happening. It just did. And, as an extra precaution, Skye concentrated on winding up trees and vines behind them in case someone like Jaing was following them.
The town was just ahead. They had a small shine of sweat on their faces, and Skye walked towards the stone flooring the natives used to mark living and communal areas. She had already put her lightsabers in her pack, and warned Karissa to do the same. "They may let us use their land," Skye said, "but they don't like Jedi. When I was twelve, I dated a boy here. As soon as he figured out I was 'a stinkin' Jedi', he ran for his life."
Skye shook her head thoughtfully. "Food!" she said, sniffing the air and pointing at a nearby Deli. "C'mon. Lemme show you around the place."
