Ask Shroom Deluge

The girl seemed hungry enough and he was getting a decent picture of her state. As hungry as she was, she probably wasn't satisfied. Plus a pie wasn't a balanced breakfast. "Arda-2 probably." It was relatively close to Yavin IV and would also be the next step for him to get back to Ajan Kloss. The man had confidence they would get off the planet. Even if he had to resort to mind tricks then at least he he would get a message back to the Jedi Temple on Yavin to let them know his ship was stolen. But he wasn't sure if the redhead was keen on joining him beyond that. Chances were that might not even be her direction.

"Hold on." He got back up and picked up the plate from the counter but looked towards the passengers that the bartender said knew about a ride. Walking over to them, the broad shouldered Knight cut an imposing figure even if he wasn't try to be intimidating. The damp clothes still clung to his body but he stood there with the piece of pie in one hand and the other glass of blue milk in the other.

"Can we help you?" They looked the man up and down. "Maybe. I'm trying to find a ship out of here."They looked between one another for a moment and the one that spoke before shrugged. "The same one we came in on is probably still on the other side of town. They'll be leavin soon though."

Byron looked over his shoulder towards Lyra. "You coming, kid?" Looking at the two at the table he began walking back towards the door, setting the plate and glass on another table on the way out. Lyra was free to grab it. Once more, the Jedi was walking through the rain, nullifying any drying affect being in the cantina had. Once outside, Byron would get into a short jog.

Lyra looked at him with puzzlement as she tried to figure out where Arda-2 was located. It certainly not of any the more populated worlds in the galaxy, she knew all of those for certain. The idea of going to another backwater world was not ideal for the teen; as her experience here, it was hard to find enough work for enough credits so she didn't starve in her sleep. The Jedi had gotten up to speak with the others who could have a possible ride for the Jedi and maybe for Lyra.

The girl watched, not trying to listen to their conversation as she felt herself weighing her options. She wasn't sure what to make of the Jedi, she clearly didn't trust them as much as she did not trust any adults she came across. They were all the same in their efforts in the end, looking out for their own and never mind what she wanted.

The Jedi must have gotten an ideal response as he headed to the door, asking if she were coming. Certainly, Lyra did not want to be left in there alone, she would be chased out later, so she rose slowly and followed, grabbing the pie as she stepped outside the door.

The rain was still falling and the Jedi was in a hurry to the other side of town, but Lyra did not follow, letting the Jedi take his own path and she would find a different one off-world at some point.

Byron's boots mushed into the damp ground of the unpaved road. Making it towards the corner he looked back and saw Lyra had followed out of the cantina but not any further. Stopping, he would turn halfway around and study her for a moment before giving a nod.

Raising a hand, he would wave to her. "Thanks for the ride. See you around, Dewberry." She was not going down the same path as him. Each person in the galaxy had their own and sometimes they cross. Inside the cantina he had felt something dark and troubling within her. Something about that told the Knight it wouldn't be the last time. Hopefully he would meet the redheaded girl sometime under better circumstances.

Turning around and heading towards the far side of town, the man would find his way to a shuttle bus. The ship would eventually take him to Arda II. In turn he would be able to get a lower profile trip over to Yavin IV and then Ajan Kloss. The pit in his stomach would reveal itself eventually but until then, the man would not rest on his trip back to the Order.
