There was a saying that Jorath had heard once that you can't go home again. It was days like this one in particular that made him ponder the idea that the saying should perhaps have been changed to, 'You -shouldn't- go home again' because as he walked the streets of his birthplace, the Acolyte began to feel an overwhelming combination of emotions, none of which were particularly positive. He had longed to see this world become something more and yet as he leaned against the entrance of his mother's Cantina, his eyes surveying the patrons entering and exiting, he couldn't help but wonder what such a place even -could- become..
In spite of growing up on the world and having grown accustomed to it's people, it never ceased to surprise the teen that such a variety of people could move about and come together to create a functioning city. While ordinarily such a thought might hold some level of promise to a person, the idea to Jorath based upon what -he- was witnessing seemed like both a blessing and a curse. How many of these people walking about freely were criminals? How many were thieves, thugs, or even worse.. He had once been one of them.. He knew the lives they lived and the suffering that each one was potentially responsible for.. How could these people ever be expected to become something greater, even if the planet was brought under total Imperial control... His control..
Jorath was brought back to reality only when he failed to find any answer to such a question and instead shifted his attentions elsewhere. He had already paid his mother a short visit and it wouldn't be long before he returned to Korriban in such of another opportunity to prove himself to his superiors. If he was ever to influence the change that he sought, gaining favor was a priority and because of that he would find little time to cling to the sentimentality which had lured him back to his home in the first place. Reaching back and gripping the hood of his black cloak and giving it a quick tug, pulling it up to cover his head. With a movement forward, he would come away from his temporary leaning post and prepare to move back through the city, his eyes still scanning the streets as he moved.
There was a nagging sensation which the Acolyte could only accredit to the force that told him that he was not the only force sensitive in that city.. If it were another member of the Sith Order there would be no problem of course.. But what he felt was different, unlike anything he had personally encountered as of yet. He couldn't identify it and for one reason or another, that only proved to excite him all the more. Perhaps this journey hadn't been for nothing after all.
