The Beginning

[AsenMahawa]

It was rather cold in this cramped cargo hold that Asen finds himself huddling and hiding behind a bunch of crates. Though its cold to him because he's not really used to the cold environment of space itself since this would be his first time being out of Dantooine. Luckily he has his cloak that makes it comfortable to him so that he can stay warm. Asen had gotten up extremely early than he usually wakes up and it was before anyone had really gotten up since it was still dark. Where he snuck on board of a ship that was supposed to be going towards Ord Radama where the ship was to deliver its newly acquired cargo.

Luckily the ship, after roughly 24 hours had passed, is taking a stop at a fuel station in order to pump some more fuel. Well apparently one of the crew members decided to check up on their cargo as the ship was refueling as the doors opened to reveal a Rodian garbed in a light leather jacket that has some red threads on the shoulder just for a bit of flair. In any case the rodian looked around for a moment until its eyes locked onto Asen who was shivering in the corner behind some crates. "We've got a stowaway!" The rodian yelled over his shoulder in the basic tongue, and Asen took that moment as his opportunity to bolt across the room only to dive behind a couple of crates. Hiding from sight as Asen could hear the boots stepping on the metal floor getting closer. "Huh? Where did he go?" The voice matched to that rodian's voice, or at least that's what Asen's hearing and mind had registered.

Soon he hears a couple more sets of footsteps entering the room before he hears another male voice. "Where's the runt?" After hearing a couple of the crates being lightly set down to the ground the rodian responded with a hint of uncertainty. "I... I don't know Kain. He was just right here, but when i turned my head for a second he's gone." During this time Asen was quietly weaving behind the crates and hopping over a couple of containers. "If he was here then chances are he's hiding somewhere. Find him and haul him out of here." On that note a sudden loud crash erupts near the open door as Asen had shoved a pile of crates over and partially blocked the way towards the door. Simultaneously Asen had shoved with his shoulder and used the momentum to roll over on his feet before bolting out of the cargo hold.

Angry shouts can be heard from behind Asen as he dashed over to exit down the ramp as his feet touched the durasteel floor of a space station. This was just a station where ships get their fuel if they can't make it to a hangar. It was only 6 hours of lightspeed before this ship arrived in Ord Radama and similar time of reaching towards Korriban considering that its not very far from each other. However Asen kept running past a couple of workers before making a sharp turn to the right into a hallway that slightly bends to the left. Asen didn't really pay much attention to the signs other than he was simply trying to run from the people that he's certain is chasing him. Mainly because he doesn't want to go back to Dantooine so early when he hasn't accomplish anything yet.

Kahl was checking his cargo when he heard someone running down the hallway, it sounded like a human boy. His four ears swiveled in the direction of the sound while he remain focused on the task at hand, his eyes focused on his data pad. The sound grew closer but he could tell it was at least 100 feet from his ship. He walked behind a fairly large crate, the only thing that indicated that he was there was a small but of his tale peaking out of the crate.

Asen kept running while looking over his shoulder for only a second before bolting around the corner where he saw a ship. He had no idea that he was being watched by another, but he certainly ran behind one of the feet that the ships use to land and due to his small frame he is able to hide most of his body from sight. Garbed in the fabrics of the darkness to aid his ability to hide, Asen watched with his careful eyes as he sees the trio run past the door way that Asen had came from. Little did he realize that he was holding his breath the entire time that he was hiding and was completely unaware of someone else hiding around here. Still he waits there for a few minutes so that he could catch his breathing which honestly wasn't that terrible only the fact that he's a bit winded. After a while those three seemed to have gave up on searching for Asen as they came walking back talking about how the next time they see him they were going to feed him to the Nexus, cut out his intestines slowly to make him feel pain until they get to his heart, and that sort of thing.

Kahl walked out from behind the crate and spoke, "You looking for a ride?" Kahl hadn't even looked up from his data pad and he was standing behind Asen. The Reshekki didn't look at all intimidating, wearing only a tank top, work shorts, and a belt with a gun holstered to it. His tail twitched restlessly as he worked on his datapad.

If Asen was a cat or had long ears they would've perked up upon hearing the sound of soft pads coming from nearby. His fingertips could feel the very light and faint vibrations coming from each step Kahl had made. It wasn't that Kahl wasn't quiet enough if he was trying to be discreet about it. It's just that Asen has always gotten an abnormal trait that helps with his senses. Asen looked up with his amber eyes to catch sight of the Reshekki while under the impression that Kahl was going to capture him and bring him back to his family.

However that fear and anxiety subsided once he got a better read of Kahl's aura that he's displaying. "I... would like that, however I don't have that many credits on me unfortunately." Asen speaks honestly as he glances back at the door before standing back on his feet. Other than his jet black long hair being pulled up into a ponytail Asen is garbed in a white short sleeved shirt that opens up exposing underneath as there's a mesh shirt underneath as well. At first glance he seems to be wearing a pair of regular black pants, except on closer inspection he's wearing some cargo pants that has multiple pockets. Additionally he's carrying two bags, one that seems to be carrying his food and water along with a sleeping bag, while the other bag seems to be his communication method. Wrapped around his waist is a belt that is hung a bit low on one end where a sheathed sword can be seen hanging from his belt. His hands are covered in a pair of heavy gauntlets that has circuits interwoven with the fabric as well.

"The price depends on where you want to go," Kahl fingered his pistol, still not sure that this boy could be trusted. He looked up at the boy, taking in his features, "Where do you want to go?"
