"Or not very long at all."

"One or the other."

Occlus smiles, and swings the door open.

Inside the room there are three items on separate pedestals in the center of the room. An archaic holoprojector, an understated lightsaber cased in dark metal, and a holocron in the classic Sith shape, triangular rather than the cube of the Jedi. Its inner glow is muted, a dull red that barely illuminates the intricate tracery on the faces.

She looks around with interest, gaze caught a bit more by the holocron.

Permalink

"Here it is, then."

She goes to the lightsaber and picks it up in one hand, bouncing it a couple of times before tucking it into an inside pocket of her tunic.

Permalink

"The main thing you were after, then?"

Permalink

"Personally, yes. But that is my holocron, and it knows everything I do. And the holoprojector contains maps to the other caches."

Permalink

"All quite valuable."

Permalink

"You may take it, if you like. It won't bite."

Permalink

She picks up the holocron, then, after a quick smile at Occlus.

Permalink

The holocron doesn't respond. Not surprising, really, considering the planet they're on.

She secures it in her pack.

Occlus brushes past her to take the map.

"And that is everything."

Permalink

"Alright. Back out, then."

Permalink

"I'm sure they're waiting eagerly for us."

Permalink

"Mara especially."

Permalink

"If I mentioned I was a Sith, do you think that would make it better or worse?"

Permalink

"Might confuse her, at least."

Permalink

"I'll hold it in reserve in case we need a distraction."

Permalink

"Seems reasonable."

Permalink

Back up they go.

Mara is drumming her fingers nervously on the hilt of her blaster.

Permalink

Ani avoids sending her too amused a look.

"Thank you again for the help," she says to Karrde.

Permalink

"It was my pleasure. If you need anything in the future, well. You know where to find me."

Permalink

"Of course."

Permalink

"Are you going to need to come back for anything?"
