[center][h2]Talnel Beldwai[/h2][/center] [center][@Athol][/center] [color=2F4F4F]"Okay, I see Elam."[/color] So he is a mercenary, he thought, not judging him, but it made him curious as to why and how a merc has a lightsaber and is hated by the Argent. [color=2F4F4F]Today is my first day on Mandalore, and it has proved to be an interesting day.[/color] Talnel goes to take another sip but decides not to as his hand reaches the cup. This stuff may be good, but he does not want to get drunk, especially after what has happened today. [color=2F4F4F]"Founding Day sure is something with all of the people coming for the festivities. I have never been in a place more crowded than Mandalore right now."[/color] [color=2F4F4F]Well, that is unfortunate you got screwed right when your job ended."[/color] Talnel sounding sympathetic, [color=2F4F4F]"I guess you can say I am also an ‘independent contractor’ too, or I just do some odd jobs to get by."[/color] He sighed and hesitantly looked at his cup.[color=2F4F4F]You can say I am a wanderer, and I have ended up here on Mandalore."[/color] Talnel, after a moment, took a large sip and emptied his cup. He started to feel a little buzzed and decided now that he was done. [color=2F4F4F]"I can understand wanting a break, and maybe I should too after today."[/color] Part of Talnel wished to ask him about his lightsaber since he does not seem like a Jedi or from any of the orders he has heard of. He can sense Elam is force-sensitive, so he must have been trained by someone, right? But should he ask Elam this and would he even talk about it to a stranger? Granted, they did fight together against those Argents assassins. So there is some trust there. [color=2F4F4F]"Though I have a question if you are willing to answer. You have a lightsaber, but you are an ‘independent contractor’ and I have not heard of a Jedi like that before. Do you care if I inquire about it? At least how you got the lightsaber."[/color]
