A second after he's through, the portal closes, and the kobold hugs Ana. "C'mon, let's get lunch." Hand?

Lunch would be a Good. Hand.

Hand. Cafeteria. Lunch! The kobold teleports a lunch's worth of things directly from the presented food as she collects hers.

Ana loads up a tray and takes a seat.

"You're going to tell that Sith the meeting place is ready?"

"Mmhmm. You okay?"

"Just- still not really comfortable with Sith. I know you're going to be fine, but."

This gets Ana a hug. "I wish I knew how to be more reassuring about this kind of thing."

"Hugs are helping. It's mostly past experience."

Hugs continue.

"I think part of the thing is - different skills? I'd worry about you if you were going to go fight a Sith, even though I've seen how good you are at it, 'cause I don't really know how it works and that makes it easy to imagine something going wrong. I'm good at working with people the same way you're good at fighting; I do know how that works, so I can see how hard it would be for something to go wrong."

"Yeah, I guess. It's- I know you're gonna be okay. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to worry."

Hug.

"Well, I don't expect to be long, at least. An hour, maybe closer to two."

"Good."

Pat pat.

Snuggle.

Also, nom.

Oh, right. Food. Ana starts eating, continuing to hug the kobold with one hand.

The kobold stays snuggled up to Ana, making hugging her as easy as possible.

Eventually, though, the food is gone.

Alas. One last hug.

"You be careful. You owe me a flying session."

The kobold giggles and gives her a  mock-chagrined look. "Yes, Ana."

Ana adopts a matching severe expression and shakes a finger at her.

This provokes a giggle fit.

A few seconds later, still giggling, the kobold hugs her and then disappears.

Ten minutes later and much more composed, she appears at the edge of the ruins.

She doesn't happen to intersect a patrol this time.

She heads toward the temple, then, her bearing confident.

The guards at the entrance inform her that Occlus is on Dromund Kaas at the moment.

She thanks them, warns them she's about to teleport, and appears in the coridor Occlus told her to use for that purpose.

There is a droid standing by the wall, inactive for the moment.

She approaches cautiously. "Hello?"
