Serdis Bereth entered the restaurant and greeted the waitress.  "Hello Soti," he said to her in twi'lek, he native language.  "Is my mother in?"  He had just landed at the spaceport just down the road a few minutes ago and had a serious case of hyperspace lag.  he didn't want to just go to his parent's house without telling them he was home, so he decided to stop by his mother's restaurant first to tell her.

"Serdis, it's good to see you again." said Soti, her blue lekku twitching with excitement.  "I didn't know you were coming back to Cyphan.  I'll go get your mother."  Soti left and Serdis sat down in one of the booths.

He closed his eyes and drew on the force to wake himself up.  It had been over one and a half standard days sense he had left Corellia, and he had been awake for several hours before that.  Sure, he could keep himself awake for more than four standard days using that technique, but it had some serious side effects, not the least of which was that it taxed his ability to use the force for other things.

Serdis's mother came over and gave him a hug and a kiss, something she didn't realize would embarrass him, hopefully, then told him she had to go back to the kitchen.  The restaurant was quite busy, after all.  Shortly afterwords some of his friends entered the restaurant as well, as Soti had called them to tell them the news.  [i]So much for getting to go home and sleep,[/i] he thought as they sat down and ordered drinks and snacks for the table.
