Aellyn stood between the dejarik table and the small kitchen, her hands resting on her hips. Her eyes scanned over the mess that had piled up. Used pots laid on the counter, the meal the captain had cooked the other night, resting on the stove eye. Chewing her bottom lip, she rolled up her sleeves, deciding to take her frustration out on some pots. No one seemed to bother her, the ship was mostly quiet. The sounds of light snoring coming out from the pilots bunk room, the kid had fallen asleep. A good bed will do that. Wrench beeping in the cockpit, along with Fel.  Thoughts of whatever was on that disc crossed her mind but figured she better just stay low. Jet, quiet in his room. The towel brushed the last bit of crumbs from the counter as she was finally satisfied with how put together it finally looked. Wiping her brow with her arm, she folded the towel, placing it on the now clean counter. 

Stepping back she examined her work before heading left, across from the bathroom to her claimed bunk. Pressing a button on the wall panel, the door hissed shut behind her. Aellyn fell onto the bottom bed, pulling off her boots and letting them hit the floor. She was too tired to put them away. Falling back against the bed, her eyes staring at the bed above her. Her hands resting on her stomach as sleep overcame her, her world turning black. 

She didn’t know how long she slept but it felt good to have a proper sleep. She swung her legs over the side, slipping the boots back on. Aellyn sat for a moment, listening, she didn’t hear anyone else moving about. Grabbing her pistol, she strapped it around her leg and pulled on her jacket. Stepping into the main room, no one was up and around. Stepping around the corner to one of the cargo bays, she began to rummage until surprisingly she found a small hover bike. It was big enough for a child. Where did he get this, she wondered. Pulling it out, she pushed it towards the ramp. Pressing the button, the ramp hissed as it lowered itself. She was starting to push the bike down the ramp, noticing the little pesky droid come her way. 

[color=AE91B8] “Look, I’m not stealing it. Just borrowing it. Headed to the settlement. The big guy is coming later for supplies. Just…Just don’t leave me.” [/color] She pleaded but the droid responded that he would if he had his way. 

Stepping foot on the dry grass, pushing the bike up next to her. She hoped this machine still had life to it. Hearing a growl, she turned her head, scanning the area around the UA. The pilot did mentioned some nasty wildlife. Not taking chances, she mounted the bike, which struggled but turned on. Aellyn pressed the accelerator and the little bike took off toward the settlement. 

The ride was almost like being in a hover car back on Coruscant. The wind in her air, she enjoyed the moment of peace. The settlement was just that, scraps put together to barely survive. She had seen a few places like this in the outer rim, one sure doesn’t hear about this way of life on the core world. Settling her bike, near some others. She saw a few settlers starting their day. 

[I] Old Man didn’t come with you?” [/I] 

Aellyn turned and saw Abilene standing near by. She shook her head. [color=AE91B8] “No, just me. Do you have a place that I can get a hot meal? Maybe a drink?” [/color] 

The old lady, nodded her head to follow her, in which she did. Together stepping into a building not too far from where they were. It may have been early but it seemed like the establishment was a place to gather for most of the settlers. They all didn’t have much, that she could tell. Abilene pointed to an empty table as she settled into a chair. From a woman who was ready for a shoot out, to being somewhat friendly, Aellyn kept her guard up. Abilene set two bowls down, as she joined. 

[I] “Do you know who you are flyin’ with?” [/I]  The lady started on. 

[color=AE91B8] “I have my guesses.” [/color] Aellyn looked down at her bowl.

[I] “I didn’t poison it. I’m not that cruel. Fel, maybe. ” [/i] She noticed. 

Aellyn hesitated for a moment, then dived into the warm contents. If she was going to die, at least she was full. The two women both ate in silence until the bowls were empty. 

[I]“What are you here for, are you here to salvage for parts?” [/I] The old lady leaned back in her chair.
 
[color=AE91B8] “Something like that. If I can, of course.” [/color] Aellyn wanting permission. 

[I] “Sure, I’ll show you the yard.I have to ask ya. Brave to defend a man you hardly know.  You seem like a smart lady. How did you end up with this lot?” [/I] They both stood, heading out to the scrap yard. 

[color=AE91B8] “Just lucky, I guess.” [/color] Aellyn stuck her hands in her jacket pockets, keeping up her guard as she followed Abilene to the scraps.
