Occlus is less surprised to find the bar, this time. Though there seems to be rather more of a crowd here than when last she visited. Including a Jedi. How interesting. She makes her way over to Bar.

Oh shit that's a Sith. And a strong one, at that. Stronger than any she's ever faced.

Okay. Don't panic. The Sith can't start a fight without security intervening, which means she shouldn't start one either. Ana edges carefully away from where the Sith is standing at the bar.

The Jedi is afraid of her. Occlus smiles slightly. How afraid will she get if Occlus continues to simply exist in close proximity? Occlus orders a drink from Bar, and studiously ignores the Jedi.

Occlus gets a napkin. Hello again. Can I get you anything?

"The same thing I had the first time, thank you."

She's been here before? What?

And here is something purple and bubbly, with a napkin noting its price.

Sip.

This is getting way too weird for Ana. She's going to go find an empty table to sit at.

Occlus presents her credit chit to Bar.

It seems the Jedi has decided to retreat. Alas. But she's not leaving, interesting. Occlus's range is good enough to keep tabs on her from across the room, so she stays where she is.

After a few minutes with no particular change, a napkin appears on Ana's table. The kobold would like to see you. Room 1512.

Oh thank the Force. Ana gets up to go upstairs, giving the Sith at the bar as wide a berth as possible.

When she gets to Room 1512, she opens the door and says, "There's a Sith downstairs!"

Now, where is she going? Occlus activates her archive hoop, and after a brief delay, retrieves an ornate mirror. She goes to a table against the wall, and holds the mirror in front of her, focusing on the Jedi's Force signature. A misty image of one of the upstairs rooms swims into view.

-Sith downstairs! The mirror doesn't do sound, but she knows what's being said.

The kobold's room is a cave, as inexplicable as that is inside a building, a bit more natural-looking than the other one of the kobold's that Ana has seen, but designed to the same aesthetic, albeit with more storage. It looks like the kobold was interrupted partway through sorting the collection and sending things away; there's a definite line past which there are many more things on the shelves than there are in the earlier section.

Leaning on the wall next to the kobold is a sheet of cardboard, with a portal in it showing the bar's main room. "I know!" She tugs the Jedi into the room and closes the door.

Occlus recognizes that kobold. It found a Jedi, did it?

"I am in favor of changing our lunch plans. Security or no."

"Sounds good." Here is a very relieved kobold. Hand?

Hand.

Hmm. Can she see where they go if she just puts a little more power-

Tython. Tython is where they go. The cafeteria of the Academy, in particular.

No. She's lost them. But the kobold knew she was here. Perhaps it will come explain itself. Occlus will finish her drink, then go back to the dig.

"That was a little more exciting than I expected."

Their sudden appearance is cause for some surprise among the Jedi already present. Surprise turns into concern when they see how upset the kobold is.

"Yes." She looks around to orient herself and notices the Jedi's concern. "Empaths. I should go until I calm down." She offers Ana her hand, but also a questioning look: perhaps it would be better for her to stay and explain; her call.

Master Satele left this kobold in Ana's care. She is going to make sure the kobold is okay as her first priority.

Wait. No danger, she gestures with her free hand in the Jedi sign code as she reaches to take the kobold's.

And here they are in the kobold's cave. They just missed the pile of sand; the kobold sits heavily on it, radiating fear and self-doubt. After a moment she flops onto her side.
