Tepasi
The sprawling urban scape of the Tepasi capital looked nothing as it did a century prior. It was almost war had done good for the economy of the Tepasi people. Though it wasn't without their share of death and destruction from the Exile armies who made it their temporary home before their onslaught on Alderaan. Overall, the world of Tepasi was covered in rich green forests, there was frequent rain, and a comfortable cool climate allowed for the world to thrive with stunning flora. It had almost had all been destroyed, but the perseverance and resolve of the people seemed to be stronger. Once crumbling ruins, now the the capital showed off, new buildings surrounded the young Knight, towering far into the mid-day sky. They would not compare of course to the larger city worlds such as Coruscant or Corulag, but impressive to anyone who would visit.
It was quite beautiful nonetheless to Nora as she carried an armful of parts; she took her time occasionally gawking at the architecture that surrounded her. The designed allowed for much green space all around the populace, however, there was something underneath it all that left the Jedi uncomfortable, like a residual essence that seemed to haunt the shadows of what transpired here years ago. It was a quiet whisper that would catch the girl's ear, like when one would hear their name being called and once you look, there would be no one there.
Nora had thought perhaps it were people catching sight of her face, even with her hood up; it never completely covered and there were stares, but the feeling between the people who were staring and the whispers that were drawing her ear were indeed different. Nora had begun to ponder in her trip to buy parts if there was a different reason as to why she was being drawn to Tepasi other than helping out some locals.
The capital, however, seemed like it was the only place on Tepasi that was thriving. The credits and assistance weren't meeting to some of the outer villages, and it was those places that looked like war had the most impact. The roads had not been repaired and many of the people present were still rebuilding their homes and livelihoods into the next of kin. Nora followed the road to other side of the village where A-7 and another man stood with just a skeleton of a droid. She gave him the parts and he smiled, thanking her.
A-7 beeped something snarky to the girl and she gave it a disapproving glare, the droid then pretend to look busy. Nora knelt down, handing the man a couple tools as he worked. He glanced to the girl and nodded, "How many stares did you get? People can't mind their business you know." he said.
"Just a few, but I'm used to it." Nora replied with a small smile.
"Don't worry, at least we will always know you are never our enemy." he gave a wide toothy grin and the Knight's smile grew and she shook her head in agreement. She begun tightening a couple bolts and paused, the whispers returned. Nora slowly stood up listening, feeling, letting the chill come and it would pass. The Knight narrowed her green eyes, thinking, feeling, but as quickly as it had come, it was gone, like a terrible tease. The man looked up at her with concern and Nora knelt back down, giving him a shrug, showing no concern and went back to work, though her thoughts would be floating elsewhere.
OoC: Feel free to join, it'll be more laid back as long as everyone stays chill.
