Yerbol felt Aria sidle up next to him just as Aliel had finished a thought about one of the settlements, the question about to be answered by the young Knight when Voldon called their impromptu meeting to a close: 
"I need to check on Kira, but the ideas we've talked about so far have been excellent. I dare say we might have a chance at making this stick." 
"And I'm inclined to agree." With a few other phrases of affirmation, the first Council meeting ended, the force users dispersing to various parts of the compound just as Yerbol felt a sharp jab in his ribs.
"I hate it when you do that!" He protested, turning to find Neta with a sad half-smile on his face.
"I had to get it in one last time." 
"Last...time?"
"Well, ok, that's melodramatic, but the last time for...well, Force knows how long. C'mon, kiddos, walk with me." Yerbol looked to Aria with a shrug, whispering while they followed their spec ops friend:
"I didn't plan any of this with her." They wound their way around the outside of the base, past the firing range, the hangar and up a dirt path leading up towards some of the vistas that were used not only for recon, but for ships to land for supply drops and to be worked on by technicians in case the hangar was full. Strolling in silence for a few more minutes helped them end up at a cliff overlooking the lush wilderness below. Perched about a hundred yards from the edge of the cliff was Neta's ship.
"The XS Stock light freighter, modified to beyond the afterlife and back. I found this...well, correction, inherited it from a smuggler who had double crossed me on a particularly sensitive  operation where he tried to take both his and my share. Needless to say, he departed this world and I took what I felt what was rightfully owed to me." She nostalgically sighed. 
"That was five years ago. So much has happened since then and I..." She shook her head, turning to face the duo. 
"I'm done. I miss my kids, I miss waking up in the morning and not having to worry whether or not they'll have a mom to see again, I miss not having to reach for my comm unit and hope, no, PRAY, that I didn't have to shuttle Rodian refugees from a dying planet because their government was falling apart and the Republic refused to help." An exhausted laugh escaped her throat. 
"I AM going to miss you two, though. Didn't think I would have to be in the remote position of wanting to miss you two when I first met you, but..." She placed a hand on both of their outside arms. 
"You two have the purest, most courageous hearts I've ever seen. To want to take on the galaxy and then to WIN?!" She chuckled, squeezing their arms lovingly. 
"AND to see that the power you both have is being used responsibly? The galaxy is so lucky to have you two around." Her eyes sparkled with gratefulness as she let go, motioning to the ship.
"But to help everyone in the galaxy, you've got to have a ride, right? Can't take public transport anymore. So, she's yours." Yerbol's jaw dropped. 
"She's got a bit of a steering issue sometimes and the hyperdrive, as you know, will whine if pressed too hard, but I figure that you can work around that." 
"Neta-"
"Yes, I'm sure. I'm not going to need a reminder of what I had to do after Vivi died. I've got enough money to get a small corvette class ship for me and the kids plus a lot more. I want this ship to be associated with you two. I want people to see this thing crossing the sky and know that good is being done on their planet." She cackled a bit, adding:
"Man ALIVE, I'm such an idealist. Maybe that's why I gravitated towards you two." The smile that had formed from the cackle broadened. 
"I may be leaving now, but I'll always be there for you two in whatever way I can." She drew closer to Aria as she followed up with:
"Alderaan is nice this time of year. You ought to come by in a couple of months. The kids would love you." Her eyes misted over as she took Aria in an embrace, holding her tightly as she whispered:
"You're loved by so many, Aria. Please don't forget that." A few silent moments passed in the embrace before Neta pulled away, saying with wink:
"And take care of sweet cheeks here, ok? He needs a good woman around to keep him in line." Yerbol cleared his throat as Neta pulled him into a hug. 
"Be careful out there, baby boy." Yerbol nodded into her shoulder as they shared one last moment together before she took a step back, wiping her now reddened eyes. 
"I'm leaving on the first transport out in a couple of hours, so make sure you come wish me good luck, ok?" As she walked past them, she slid a comm unit into Aria's right hand, calling out while making her way back to base:
"I'll always be there!" 

It took a few minutes of processing, wiping away a few tears and silently sitting up against the base of a tree, but it seemed like the initial wave of emotion over Neta's leaving had slightly passed, prompting Yerbol to remember that he had an idea...one that actually tied rather well to Neta's gift. 
"Hey, so...remember I told you I had an idea? One that I told you that you would love?" A smile framed his features as he continued:
"So, we're basically free of responsibility for a while, right? No wars, no Bracknell, no Renso(that we know of), nothing. This would be the PERFECT time to take some vacation...and I know exactly where to go. I want to go see my parents. On Taris." He held up a hand.
"Now before you say 'Wait, isn't that where one of the settlements is going to be?', I'll counter with the notion that my parents are situated on a terraformed side of the planet close to a Republic(now alliance?) base that was barely populated to begin with...and even a that, they're a few miles away in a quaint little settlement nestled around groves of orange trees and sweeping plains and...well, what Taris probably looked like before the Imperial fleet bombed it to pieces. It's beautiful country out there and I think it would be good for the both of us to be in a place where we can just be, you know?" His voice dropped a bit as he continued:
"I'd understand if you wanted to go off somewhere by yourself to process everything that's happened...I mean, I'd get it. I'd miss you terribly, but I would totally get it."
