Can't stay

[Nirvana]

He suppressed a smirk and a chuckle when she said that if he called her that again the next thing he would see was her saber piercing his skull, so there was ways to get her to to show her true side. Interesting indeed, but for now he would not try and find more ways to get her to show that side of her. While it was most certainly interesting to see what could make a person show who they really were, he had no intention of dying just yet. He still had plenty of things to do before his time was over, and some of those things was out of question as of now. Power was something that he needed to accomplish those things, and he would get it one way or another.

John didn't speak a word as she showed the way to the 'mess' style galley of the ship, compared to some ship he had been on this one was better then on some ship. Stopping the ration that she slid over to him by laying his hand on it he waited for her to heat the one that she was going to eat, when she took her food and moved to take a seat he started to heat his own ration of food. In the minute that followed he remained silent as well, waiting in silence for his own food to heat up before taking it out of the heater and putting it on a simple plate. After that he joined Carna at the table where she sat, on the opposite side of it to be correct.

When she started to speak he just started to eat while listening to what she said, two days she allowed him to stay with her. And when those two days had ended he had a choice to make, if he would leave this place alive or dead, the second option wasn't a alternative to him. Treating her with respect, then what would she like to be called in that case if not princess. After all it was just a title that few people could have, and those that did was often respected. Though then again, she made it clear earlier that she was not to be called princess. And therefor he wouldn't call her that again, at least not again any time soon.”You are understood.” he said with a calm yet serious tone, after she had stopped speaking he just glanced at her for a moment before continuing to eat in silence. Making no attempt to strike a conversation with her at this moment.

“I apologize for what I called you earlier, it was inappropriate by me.” John told her before finishing the food and standing up from the table, walking away with the plate over to the bench with a sink in it. Putting the plate there he washed it of before putting it next to the sink to let it dry, and now he assumed that it was time to start mining some more of those Nova Rubies.

Some two days later the sun rose over the Sarkan horizon, warming the ravine where the Forge Master's ship was nestled. Having awoken early, Carna had moved outside and begun locking away the mining equipment and the notably impressive haul of nova rubies. Set off to one side was a cart approximately a meter long, half a meter wide, and about a meter high, hovering on its repulsorlifts.

Carna gently nudged it out into the open air, watching as it came to rest next to John's star fighter. Having secured her own equipment and haul of what looked to be several hundred thousand credits of uncut rubies under hermitically sealed lids, and all her equipment safely stored in cabinets, she exited the cargo bay and waited patiently.

When John finally emerged from the ship, Carna simply looked at him her lightsaber in hand, resting on her knee as she sat on a crate. "I gave you a warning, Grimm. I told you there was a decision to be made, and how you went about it would determine your life or death."

"What's it going to be?"

 

[Nirvana]

Sluggish was a way of describing him this day, more so then on other days. Was it because of what had happened these two days, or was it just because he wasn't sure of himself anymore. Though that didn't matter now did it, depending on what he answered he would either be dead or alive. But one thing was certain, he didn't have any desire to die. Stepping out of the ship he held his duffel bag over his shoulder and glanced at the fighter that stood a meter from the ship, he doubted that he would be alive in the end if he tried to run away.

Facing Carna he looked at her and exhaled, what his decision was gonna be huh.”I choose to live.” he said with a calmer voice then he had expected to have, in a way that was actually quite amusing in it's own way.

 

[Cassanova]

Carna simply smiled at the man, "To say you choose to live means one thing to me."

"You hereby swear no fealty to the Galactic Alliance or the New Jedi Order," she then added, "I'm not asking you to pledge allegiance to the Sith Order, nor me. I'm just expecting that the favour of letting you live will one day be returned."

Knowing the curiosity that she felt when Thaed gave her a similar offer and her own desire to learn and know more took over and led her down a path that left her in the position she was today. An influential force within the Sith Order, and the sole holder of a wealth of crystals and resources -- such a status was not to be mocked.

"When I call in that favour, I expect it to be completed without hesitation. Without question," she nodded, "Am I understood?"

 

[Nirvana]

No fealty to the Alliance or the Order, no loyalty that would be placed in the hands of people who sought to control him would be given. He would walk his own path, travel where he wanted, how he wanted and with who he wanted to travel.”My loyalty will be to those that earn it.” chuckling a bit he smirked and shook his head.”And the Alliance and Order have lost my loyalty, they won't control me any more.”

Turning to walk to his fighter John glanced over his shoulder.“You are understood, if you ever call upon that favor I will answer.” taking a step and facing his fighter he spoke again.”If one there is one thing I do. I keep what I promise.” with that he continued to walk towards his fighter, these past days had been interesting.

Carna nodded, and clipped her lightsaber to her belt, satisfied with John's response. "Good."

A rummage through a pocket produced a data chit, which she then threw to the former Jedi. "Several safe planets where you won't be disturbed by patrols. Figure out what you're doing and contact me," she nodded to the chit, "My frequency is on there."

"If thats all we're going to do here, I think I'll say good luck, and I'll see you soon," she nodded, turning towards the ship, preparing to leave.

 

[Nirvana]

The glance over the shoulder had helped him noticing the motion she mad, digging through a pocket for something. When she threw something against him he used the force to grip the item in the air and pulled it towards him, manipulating it so that it landed softly in the palm of his hand. A small data chit, a soft chuckle escaped him as he looked at it. Hearing her words that followed made him smirk, to him it seemed as if she wanted to see him once more. But he knew that it was for another purpose, she would no doubt test him next time that they met again.

Placing the data chit in on of his pockets her augmenting his legs with the force jumped to his fighter, landing next to the cockpit with a low thud. Pressing a small button on his gauntlet did the canopy to the fighter open, and he could stuff away his duffel bag into the small cargo compartment that was behind the pilot seat. The rubies that was laying in a cart next to his fighter he would leave behind, his fighter was to small to bring with him the amount of rubies there was.”Keep the rubies Carna, I am unable to bring them with me in this ship. Until the next time we meet.” he said and did a quick bow towards her before settling down in the seat, and closing the canopy.

Within minutes had the ship fired up and left the planets atmosphere, leaving it behind as the ship soared through space. Putting in the data chit in the ships data-reader, he let it pick one of the set of coordinates that was on the chit. Once the coordinates had been set he preped the hyperdrive, exhaling he smirked as the ship jumped to lightspeed. And the set of coordinates that had been chosen.
