"... Then she said [i]I'm sorry, I don't speak Rodian![/i]" Koren slapped his knee laughing slightly at the memory. His plan, so far had been working nicely. Between Him, Nazca, Xid and the others they had spent most of their time recently not training, not talking about the finer philosophies of the Force but instead trading stories. Xid knew a fair few of his already, and he knew a fair few of Xids but it was still nice. He liked to think that they were all feeling a bit more relaxed, a bit more free. It had been some time since the last prisoner had returned and since anyone had been taken.

He still wasn't terribly happy with all that was going on surrounding Xid. It was as if the boy was making life too complicated for him, being accosted by feelings for others and others feelings for him. The pressure of being recently dubbed a Knight and the undeniable hint of fear at being a prisoner, this would possibly all be bearable if not for the duty of care the young Knight felt that had resulted in his rather serious condition.  He sighed, Xid would really need to learn that in this place they would all need to hold their own in order to survive, while drawing on eachothers strength. Suicide was not the Jedi way, and right now from anyone that did not know Xid that would seem to be his intent.

He shrugged off that feeling as he looked around the room. Jedi from all over the galaxy had been gathered by the Sith. They were all unlikely allies, a few he knew but many were strangers. They all shared two common bonds, one to the Jedi. A order they had devoted their lives too and one to the Force itself. A bond that could never be broken by the taint of the Dark Side. He smiled slightly at the thought of that, the road was going to be tough but he had faith in his fellow Jedi. 

His mood wasn't ruined when he felt the presence of a Sith coming closer and clsoer, he heard the turbolift door open and soon enough the door to the dorm was opened. Koren refused to have his mood ruined even then, he was inconvenienced more than anything. He was enjoying telling his story. He was only disappointed when the trooper appeared to target Xid, he ignored the trooper for a moment. It wasn't the trooper he had an issue with, it was the mouth behind it. 

The Sith, nearer in age to Koren than the female he had seen earlier wore an interesting assortment of clothing, between robes and armour. Whether he was a combatant or not would only be able to be discovered through combat itself. Not something he was trying to start but it was good to get to know your opponent, that and it was hard to kick his training to examine 'hostiles' and his surroundings.

Once done he winked at Nazca before standing up and placing himself between the troopers and the Sith without so much as a word, if he didn't say anything they couldn't object after all. "I'm afraid I'll need to interject in your attempts to take my fellow Jedi." Koren bowed, keeping his eyes on the Sith as he did so. It was more of a duelists bow than that of actual respect or servitude but were they not in a constant duel anyway?

"My name is Koren Omi-Ren. Jedi Watchman and prisoner aboard your vessel. This Jedi-" He nodded towards Xid. "-Is wounded and any futile attempts to remove information from him are likely going to result in him being killed. Now, while you're Sith and we're Jedi and all the holodramas indicate we should be killing eachother all the time I don't think that's your job here. You could have had us killed on Coruscant, some more easily than others. You need us alive, so my question is this: whatever small amount of information you feel you can get out of my friend here, is it worth your life? As I guarantee it probably isn't."

Koren just shrugged.

"However, If you're wanting a fresher subject who is a bit more willing. Less likely to die and get you into trouble-" Koren raised both his arms up in a large shrug [i]what can you do gesture[/i]. "-Then I guess I volunteer."

He stared at Xid for a second, as if warning him not to jump in the middle of this. Had events not been so trying recently he may have even tried to push a feeling of calm on the young Jedi. Though while Koren had rested he wasn't yet at the point where he was willing to try and perform anything like that.
