A Brand New Day (Invitation)

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

"Return to the ship when you're ready to leave."

*She stands up and turns around to face him.*

"I'm not doing this completely for you but also for my own good. There are good resources here."

*For the first time he could see something familiar around her neck. It was the token he had given her the last time they met.*

[Triune]

*He nodded at her words hiding the smile. He turned to walk towards the ramp*

"It should not take long, I will feed at my kill site to keep from dragging a mess back to your ship." He turns around at the last minute before leaving and gives her a gentle kiss on the cheek. "Thank you." He turns and leaves the ship, the Hunt on once more.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She smirked as he had kissed her cheek. This was familiar to her. Several men had done this same act to her who were of the human race. It was a sign of affection. However, it was different now. In the past, the men had done so because they were so lonely that any sign of affection, even if paid for, from a woman was rare and precious to them. It was like she was a social worker giving them what they needed to survive and feel alive. His was different though. She moved back towards the back of the ship and unloaded the speeder bike. Hopping upon it, she made her way towards the city. News had to reach even this far area. It looked like she would need a few more bounties to get her through the next few months. Waitressing didn't pay well and she didn't have some of her previous work to fall back on now. Times would be tough.*

[Triune]

*Hours passed, he conducted several hunts, small things at first building up his strength but the last hunt took down some large two-legged predator that seemed more of a reptile then anything else. he feasted on it's still beating heart ripping away mouthfuls of the red meat. He was nearly back to full strength and soon would be 100%. Taking time to wash off he retraced his trail to the ship, walking with the ease of stride that came from being the largest predator in the jungle.*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*The speeder bike began its long journey back to the ship. Over the back of the twi'lek was a large backpack filled to the brim with supplies. How she was able to manage so much and stay afoot the bike was amazing to say the least. It seems her days of dancing had improved her strength as well as her other activities. Slowing the bike near the ship, she hopped off and pulled the pack off of her back and hoisted it into the ship while dragging the bike back inside.*

[Triune]

*He arrives about this time and snags the back end of the bike lifting it to help her carry it in. He looks fit as a fiddle and no sign of blood on his clothing either.*

"Were you able to find what you need?"

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She looks back at him for a moment and then hoits the front of the bike a little and turns her head around.*

"I've enough to get me where I'm going. Put it over here."

*She indicates with a tilt of her head. As they set it down, she turns around to face him and looks him over.*

"But before either of us do anything else you have some questions to answer."

*She crosses her arms in front of her body and looks at him with almost distrust.*

"Just exactly who and what are you?"

[Triune]

*Vassur put the bike in the rack with ease. Her question wasn't altogether unexpected. He turned to face her.*

"I am Vassur Naar, Son of Kiela by Bailor, blood of Sendris of the Hissriss Pride. Generations ago my people were mostly human. A holocaust took place on our homeworld, the Republic would do nothing to help us so we left the core worlds behind and sought sanctuary in the Outer Rim. Our guide knew of a world lost to the maps of the Republic and upon it we settled. The effects of the weapons the Republic and its enemy used were devestating to my people but through the generations we learned how to re-engineer ourselves, weeding out the flawed and weakened genes... My people are the result. No more are we humans we are more, much more. We are the Fir'Arach, the Hunters."

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She shakes her head and steps closer to him while looking up into his face. Her hand moves over to his heart.*

"That is your past. That isn't who you are. Who are you? What is it you do? At first I thought you a simple bounty hunter, but I find that isn't true the more I see you. Plus, you seem to keep following me around. What is it you want and are here for?"

[Triune]

*He sighed, he knew what she meant but wasnt' sure if there were words enough to explain. He knew what he was and why he did what he did but... He put his hand on hers.*

"I.... I am a seeker... An Outrider, a Regulator... Things happen and put events into motion that brings harm to many, like the ripple on a pond made by a tossed stone. Those ripples if left unchecked will reach my people and cause them harm as well. I see where ripples begin and I keep them from being." He sighed, after speaking those words. It was difficult to verbalize what was never spoken of among his people. Silence, communes of the mind and heart, not words but she could not, not yet, perhaps never...

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*Her other hand moved up to his chin as she lowered it so he was looking into her eyes as she stepped forward again. This technique had worked well for her in the past, but there was some sort of exchange she hadn't felt before as if there was a bit of electricity between them.*

"Then you are a kind of savior in a way....but why follow me? Why seek me out on Nar Shaddaa. Certainly you had contacts there as well as I have....you're hiding things from me...I can almost taste the sweetness of the mystery."

[Triune]

*Her touch, her closeness especially after a feeding aroused other hungers in him but with inhuman will he denied them. Now was not the time for such things.*

"There are no words that explain what you do not know about me. Savior? perhaps, to some I may seem such to others a harbinger of death." He reached up and cupped her head and cheek in his hand "I cleave to you because you are the center of many ripples, I come to you because you are the one most battered by the ripples of others, I am drawn to you for yes I am still a man and no man could not be drawn to you lastly I remain with you because there is connection." His hand warms as he cups her head lightly, the warmth passing into her flesh readily.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She chuckles low and seductively at his words. Her smile fades though as she looks at him with lustful eyes. She can see in his eyes that he wants her. Him taking this route was least painful to him. If he chose another way, betrayl could follow.*

"Ripples, hmmm. I don't believe anyone has ever used that term with what I am."

*She drops her voice to a huskier level as she moves her hands across his chest lingering in the holes where his injuries had been though the flesh had almost healed over them.*

"And tell me what are these ripples to mean? Do you wish to quieten them or increase their frequency?"

[Triune]

*A frown came to his face, she was hearing the words but not listening to their meaning. Words were always a poor medium to try to convey concepts. Feeling he had no choice he reached out with both hands, the other one cupping the other side of her head, his thumbs spread resting against her temples*

"See the world through my eyes..." He whispered and let go of his tightly fettered 'Sight'. The Colors washed away leaving only shades of grey. Pulses of light and something else echoed around them, each pulse brought more light and a cacaphony of felt sound. Overwhelming but just short of mind blowing. Vast pulsing ripples of emotion, energies, feelings, and a host of other concepts that lack words to describe pass through them at regular intervals with weaker ones at different intervals. As quickly as it came so too did the 'real world' come back. If he was successful she witnessed his Sight, if he was not... She probably already thought him a nut.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*Her eyes were wide as was her mouth. Her breaths came in pants as if scared, fascinated or all of the above. Unable to meet his eyes or to find any words to utter in response to that, she just stood there as if in shock almost. Finally, she looked at him again with furrowed brows.*

"What did you just do to me?"
