Ziri pulled a face back at Rel as he looked smugly at her, turning around in her seat to regard the Rodian with a careful expression.
"Maybe we do." she answered carefully, looking the other alien over from head to toe as if trying to make a judement on his character. While they weren't exactly the most law-abiding citizens themselves, her life on the street had taught Ziri one thing and that wasn't to trust anybody too quickly. Crossing her arms over her chest, she raised a brow at the Rodian and asked. "How many is 'a few' exactly, and where you need going to?"

et voila, the promised playlist, I had to use Youtube because I couldn't find another site that worked nicely (I had one called 8tracks that WOULD have been nice to use, but it's picky about which songs you're allowed to add, you can only have two or three from the same artist per playlist because of some silly copyright rule, which I think I went over with a couple of the artists XD)

Theoretically, YT says with the URL link I've used, you SHOULD be able to 'collab' with it and add songs to the list as well, but if it doesn't work let me know and you can always give me a list of the track/artist names and I can add em in ;) xD

She nodded, keeping up the brisk pace as they returned to the shuttle, while Yerbol shouldered his way through into the cockpit area, Aria cast her gaze around for their discarded weapons as the door thudded gently shut after them. Finding them wrapped up in a spare cloak, she returned hers to the clips on her belt and hurried to join Yerbol as he inspected the recent inputs on the navigation unit. The grid co-ordinates for Manaan flashed up on the display, causing a moment of confusion between the duo. Aria was still thinking about it when the perplexed expression left Yerbol's face and the Knight promptly offered what sounded to her like a very reasonable justification for the Selkath allowing the True Sith to use their homeworld as a meeting place.

"No kidding, I bet those fish-faces have been itching to get rid of both Orders for centuries." she scoffed in agreement, hovering at Yerbol's shoulder while he worked with the shuttle's controls. "What better way to maintain an outward appearance of being 'unbiased'? Nobody would ever suspect the Selkath of condoning mass genocide, after all." she threw the question over her shoulder as she turned to head back to the main compartment when he mentioned looking through the craft for clues about the chosen meeting place.
Initially, there appeared to be very little evidence left for the duo to work with, leading to a few muttered expletives as Aria sifted through the storage compartments in a desperate attempt to find something, anything, to point them in the right direction.

The shuttle clattered into hyperspace, knocking her off balance and sending Aria tumbling into a footlocker beneath a row of benches that she hadn't spotted at first. Sitting up again, she flipped open the lid to investigate its contents. At first glance, it was just as much a red herring as every other crevice she had checked, if not for the key cards tucked quite discreetly beneath a stack of holodisks.
A relieved grin spread out across her features, Aria snatched the stack of cards out of the footlocker and turned to re-join her companion in the cockpit only to find Yerbol had stretched himself out on one of the rows of seats in the main seating area behind her after putting the spacecraft on autopilot. She chuckled in amusement at his suggestion, settling herself on the row opposite him so she could stretch out her legs. Despite the metal surface being hard under her head, they had spent such a considerable amount of time on their feet in the past few days that it didn’t matter. Just having the chance to relax without worrying about who or what was going to be coming after them next was satisfying in and of itself.

When the topic was directed towards her luck in her search, Aria rolled onto her side to face the young Knight, waving the plastic cards in his direction.
“These look like military-issue security passes to me. They must be using an old military compound somewhere on the planet.” she paused, lips pursed together in thought, before adding on. “I know the Sith used to have an old complex on Manaan quite a few decades ago, it was abandoned after Revan killed Malak, though. We could look there first.” she suggested.

Dunno what happened to @SorcererMaster8, says he hasn't been online in a week or so though. Maybe something came up? O.o

Gosh that took me longer to write out than I thought it would, my apologies! I kept getting called away to do stuff xD

Added in another silly little personal headcanon of mine, I always thought that since each Jedi/Sith builds their own saber(s) from scratch that the saber(s) would 'imprint' to that person/wielder and therefore wouldn't be usable by someone else since they would resist following that person's directions almost? Particularly if someone else was trying to use the saber against their original wielder.
Let me know what you think or if you want me to remove/change it! xD

Rendii? she'd never heard of it, but if it was a Republic owned planet then that was no surprise. They passed under the tree canopy, and Aria felt a looming sense of dread that this would be the place where the True Sith would end up finishing them off for good. It was now or never. She managed to throw a glance sideways at Yerbol in time to see him plummet towards the ground, only to be heaved back to his feet by two of the Sith guards, the Knight choosing that moment to turn and fight back against their guides. Her head was clear and her limbs nimble enough now that Aria could follow suit, though she froze momentarily when the saber was placed at her throat. Of course, merely waving a lightsaber in her direction wouldn't be enough to deter Aria, she simply had to pause and give a moment's further thought to the predicament while Yerbol and the dark-haired Master scuffled not far off.

Despite their apparent broad skillset in every other aspect of combat, without her weapon it seemed that Yerbol had the advantage, a series of powerful blows to the woman's torso quickly overbalancing her and knocking her to the ground. As Yerbol stopped to gloat over the victory, she caught him off guard and soon the duel turned back in the Sith's favor. Cringing in apparent dismay at the beginner's error the Knight had made, Aria decided she couldn't bear to watch any longer as Yerbol struggled frantically to get out of the Sith woman's grip. Aria sucked in a sharp breath, bringing one arm back to drive her elbow into her captor's ribs. The woman yelped, balking under the impact which allowed Aria to turn sharply and wrestle the lightsaber from her hand.
She tried to run the blade through the woman's chest immediately afterwards to finish her off, but the swing was clumsy; somehow the weapon felt heavier and altogether unco-ordinated in Aria's grip. Gritting her teeth, she compensated by putting more force behind the blow, a second try slicing cleanly through the woman's midsection. The lightsaber blade crackled loudly at the contact with its owner's flesh, as if in protest, the hilt suddenly becoming white hot so Aria had to yelp in discomfort and abruptly drop it to the floor beside the lifeless body.

"Ow, dammit!" she hissed, patting her singed palm against her vest until the stinging abated enough for her to return to freeing Yerbol from his predicament. Aria thrust out a hand, eyes narrowed as she focused her attack on the black-haired Master's throat, wasting no time in constricting it as much as she could. The Sith's eyes widened, a strangled cry of agony escaping her as she released her hold on Yerbol's torso, unable to maintain it with the amount of pressure Aria was exerting on her windpipe. She gurgled uncomfortably, rolling onto her side as she tried to right herself but instead ended up doubling over again and coughing up a mouthful of blood, before her eyes rolled back and she fell still.
Aria skirted around black-haired Sith to offer a hand down to Yerbol, her lips pressed together in a tight, thin smile.
"Don't the Jedi teach you to keep moving your feet when you brawl someone?!" she snapped at him, though there was obvious concern in her tone and her voice quickly softened as she asked, more calmly. "You okay, Bol? Did she break anything?" She couldn't feel any obvious sensations of pain through their bond, but that wasn't to say that he had no injuries at all, perhaps he had managed to mask them while they were focused on getting rid of the Sith that had been charged with their execution.

"Our sabers are probably back on the shuttle, we shouldn't hang around waiting." she added quickly after helping to pull Yerbol back onto his feet. "Soto's probably way ahead of us already."
