"Phroth! Solork! You must leave now!" she says, rushing forward and bringing her blade in for a slash to the side which is caught by the back blade of the inquisitors saber and parried off with some skill, but still cuts a little across the shoulder. Hissing in pain the Inquisitor backs and turns to...

With the inquisitor fallen she looks to her comrades, "I will cover you as long as I can!" she promises, and rushes once more into the fray. Bringing down her saber into the fray she nearly strikes true but her blade is cast aside by the inquisitors and only barely scraping across the womans arms. I...

"Understood," she says. Rushing forward through the rain and storm the boots from back when she served the Republic bashed against the metal walkway in a time that was reminiscent of cutting down swaths of droids. Now before her was an inquisitor and mockeries of the very armor she once served besid...

Cartess looks to Zim for a long while, contemplating. Thinking on all that was said, reaching forward she lays her hand upon the hilt in Zim's lap and in that closer space matches gazes with Zim, "Thank you.. for everything you said, Zimrzala. It was.. good to hear it from another voice other than t...

"Older sister," she repeats with a brief smile. Nodding, "I think something like that would be appropriate, Zimrzala. Learning together is admirable enough, and.. hopefully we will be able to help pick one another up when we stumble all the better. My youngers looking to me for guidance feels.. natu...

Cartess sits for some moments, patiently as she considers the words. With the request her eyes dim a bit, uncertainty wavering. However, with time she finds truth where for so long she'd avoided it. "I.. am no longer certain that it does, Zimrzala. What Solork brought you to me for.. he and another ...

"It was a moment of.. regret. That I had allowed things to carry on for so long when he is so resistant to the ideas that are so important to guarding himself against the darker forces. It's one thing to speak of resisting the influence but another to do so.. I hope he will learn in time, but to tra...

"You will.. but together, those of us that remain will find a way to move forward," she says, that earnest smile of hers being worn despite the bit of pain it tries best to hide.

Looking to Sholua Cartess followed a thought before replying, "It's.. an interesting feeling," she said with a brief smile. "Returning.. even a little. For many years I was lost in myself, and ashamed somewhat that I still had my lightsaber at the time I did things that weren't.. becoming of what we...

As Sholua explained again they all sat to start working on their breakfast. While they are Cartess mulls over the vision and what it could mean. "I have.. an idea, but I'm not certain. I agree with Kira though, actually," she smiled briefly. "I think to understand your vision more we should journey ...

"Never liked dealing with those myself," Cartess said with a brief smile as she walked around into the same area as them. Taking a moment to smell the breakfast.

"I'm glad everyone is getting along," she says, looking between Kira and Sholua. "Have you had any more luck?"

"I'm sorry, but if that's what you hoped for my help with you will find none of it here. My focus is on the present and those that are still with me," she says, looking to Zim for a moment and sighing heavily. "So please, if that's all you're here for I ask you seek your answers elsewhere."

"I wouldn't know," she repeats, "And I don't see what you are hoping to gain from me," she says, her brow furrowing as the looked to the droid. With Kira off to the side she shifted a bit uncomfortably.

"I do not know. They were my brothers in arms. We fought side by side, and sacrificed much for one another. I cared for and trusted them. In the end, they killed my Master and hunted me through the deserts of Kamda until I collapsed from exhaustion."

"You may," she allows.

"For many more reasons than that.. but I hope that you find something of peace in this galaxy," she says on a somber note.

"You understand all you need to then. You cite our common goals are hefty ones that were not even accomplished by the Jedi at the height of our power. A lone knight with a few friends has no hope correcting that, and even if I did- you are a B1 unit with far greater information than any droid of you...

"I'm sorry but, I can't help you."

"And your goals are?" she asked, uncertain and with a quirked brow.

With Solorks exit the room remained quiet for a few minutes as eyes rested on Cartess. Given those minutes to meditate on what transpired she calmed significantly. All the while Kira watched her with a look of concern but- nothing was voiced and no moves were made to interrupt. "I'm sorry.. I'm not ...
