A Taste of Home [EA|D1|Calypso's]

[Jaxom Ursae]

"Definitely, especially after Kamda." he agreed between bites. "I intend to keep as low a profile here as I can."

"Couldn't resist Calypso's, though."

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"Rare is the person able to completely detach," Jyrvess ate more of her own wrap, "There are always those little things that draw one back."

She sighed, "I would almost kill for some Rhyscate...the real Corellian made. Back in Coronet City..." Jyrvess shakes her head, "Dipping into my own old memories."

[Jaxom Ursae]

"We all do what we must, and indulge ourselves where we can." he pushed his empty plate away. "So, what do you think of the situation here? What you've seen of it."

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"Worse then Kamda before, perhaps even after." Jyrvess remarks, "People in need of help regardless."

[Jaxom Ursae]

"Yes, they do." he agreed. "I couldn't do much before I left, but I believe that's changed."

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"Oh?" Jyrvess had her own ideas on why that might be, but... "What has changed your mind on that, from a local perspective."

[Jaxom Ursae]

"Well, I've only been here for a few hours. I still don't know the full situation here." he admitted. "But, I learned a lot on Kamda. How to do things without being noticed. And, I found some inspiration there, motivation to fight for others again."

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"Not the only one, but how much do you trust the ears here?" Jyrvess responds, keeping her own voice low. "It is a public place after all."

[Jaxom Ursae]

"Not enough to say much more." he nodded. "Would you like dessert?"

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"Hmm." Jryvess leaned forward again, "I assume the offerings are as good as the wrap. Anything that really gives the local flavor?"

[Jaxom Ursae]

"The zoochberry pie is very good." he suggested. "With a scoop of denta bean ice cream."

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"Alright, pie and ice cream it is," Jyrvess signals the waiter, "Locally grown and produced? Or just a favorite of the town?"

[Jaxom Ursae]

"Freshly made, but imported ingredients." He placed the order when the waiter came over. "It was always one of my favorites."

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"How long have you been coming here?" Jyrvess asked, "Same owners the whole time?"

[Jaxom Ursae]

"As long as I can remember, except for the last eight years." he answered. "A nautolan runs it. Every dish is her recipe, often prepared by her."

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"Glad its still unchanged then. A place to comfortable place to come back to." Jyrvess bobs her head in thought. Around that time the dessert arrived. "Ah, it looks as good as the main course." She smiles slyly, "Smells good as well."

[Jaxom Ursae]

"Wait until you taste it." he grinned. "Most of the places around her have at least a dish or two that are pretty good. Looks like several places I used to know are gone, though."

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"Hopefully just closed because the people in them went looking for better pastures." Jyrvess frowned and nodded solemnly, "Nothing worse."

[Jaxom Ursae]

"I think they may have been encouraged to seek other pastures."

[Jyrvess Ertil]

"The Imperials or other parties?" Jyrvess asks as her frown deepens. "Plenty of bottom feeders who would take advantage of trouble to exploit the downtrodden."
