Viator wakes up groggily. "Vivens?" He mutters under his breath, looking around. Then his eyes refocus, and he stands up.

He hurridely packs his sleeping bag back away into his backpack before going up to Aerith and asking, "What's the plan for the day?"

The bounty droid put one on

“Refuel the ship and ourselves on Takodana, and avoid the Empire while we’re at it.”

A few hours later, BD-5 made the rounds to wake everyone up and prepare for landing. Aerith and C1-25P made plans to deal with the tracker.

Tracker???

rio walked out to the main area and waited

IG-53 spotted the ship as it flew through Takodana's atmosphere. It continued flying, however, and showed no visible signs of landing.

Aerith got them cleared to land near a castle she hadn’t seen before. Master Kai had told her about this place, but she’d never been. Too seedy, he’d said. 

She hoped the tracker wasn’t waterproof. She’d elected to throw it in the lake.

how hard is it to turn on your lightsaber and give it a stab?

Ryn was inside at the bar, sipping his Whyren's Reserve, waiting for Maz to finish up with a smuggler.

Maz Kanata's office was quiet, unlike the rest of the castle. The noise of Takodana was a hum through the thick stone walls. Maz was watching him like she already knew what he was going to say. Ryn didn't sit down. Maz didn't ask him to.

"You didn't call me here for cargo," she said.

"I did," Ryn said weakly.

Maz tilted her head. "No, you didn't."

They just sat there for a moment. It was like an answer. Ryn took a breath. "I saw something on Ord Mantell."

Maz waited for him to continue.

"There was an IG unit," he said. "They were hunting someone. A girl. Force-sensitive. She fought them. I think she got away."

Maz's eyes got narrower. "You didn't help her."

"I couldn't let them see me," he said. "I was talking to her. When I saw the droid, I ran away."

Maz nodded once. She wasn't surprised. "That's what survival looks like," she said. "Survival isn't the same as really living."

Ryn didn't say anything. Maz turned away like she was done with the conversation. "Go," she said. "Not because I'm done with you. Because you're done with yourself for now."

Ryn hesitated. "Maz..."

"Go," she said again, softer this time but final.

He left without arguing.

The bar was loud and warm when he stepped in. He didn't look for anyone. He didn't want to talk to anyone. He just ordered another glass of Whyren's Reserve. Sat down at the counter. He put his elbows on the wood and his chin in his hands. He stared at the amber liquid in his glass like it might make something make sense.

There. He's in the bar area :3

L-8 handled the refuel while the group went up to the castle. Each of them received enough credits for a meal, but nothing more.

Viator walked into the castle and saw Ryn. That guy looks lonely. You know, Viator, you really shouldn't make another friend, you already have to many liabilities to begin with. You really shouldn't talk to him, or really interact with him at all-

"Hey! What's your name? Mine's Vivens." Viator smiled, sitting next to ryn. "Nice to meet you!"

"The name's Voss," Ryn said while still staring at his whiskey. He took a sip of his whiskey, holding it in his mouth for a moment before swallowing. 

He looked up to see who was asking and jumped back, eyes wide, toppling his stool in the process.

"How the hell did you track me here? Weren't you on Ord Mantell with that girl selling rugs? Have you been tracked by that droid?"

Ryn picked up his stool and set it upright, and continued in a lower tone, "Who in the name of the crime lords of Nal Hutta are you?"

She followed Vivens inside, however peeled off from the group early on. Whether doing so was wise, she was unsure. 

Finally, you’ve shown up.” Huttese.

She stopped and turned her head slightly. 

You’d think it would take less than five years to come here.”

”Five years is nothing to one who has lived a thousand.”

Still impolite to keep someone waiting.”

Aerith turned more. “I wasn’t aware you were waiting.”

”How often did Rylan come here and you never once thought to do so.”

Well. That was a punch in the gut. And it angered her so much she switched back to Basic unwittingly. “The entire time I knew him, he told me to avoid this place! That it was too dangerous for someone as young as me!”

”You say that as though you think yourself a child still.”

Aerith paused, and Maz beckoned her. “Come. We have much to discuss.” She turned and started down a spiral staircase.  

Aerith followed.

He was there and talked to Aerith and saw you, but slipped away as the IG unit attacked. also for reference, his name is Ryn but he only shares that with those close to him. you may call him Voss.

"You. You were on Ord Mantell. With that girl named Aerith."

Ryn looked into Vivens' eyes and moved his hand in a small sweeping motion.

"Who are you and what do you know? How did you know I was coming to Takodana? Were you tracked?"

Vivens looked stunned. "Yeah... I was... I don't know, we were docked here. I don't make the rules."

Ryn shook his head slowly and sighed.

"Where's Aerith? Do you know? Ach, never mind."

Ryn swallowed the rest of his whisky and closed his eyes as it went down. He set the glass down, got up, and keyed his comms to Maz.

"Maz. I'm so sorry to interrupt, but I have a big problem. You know the people I saw on Ord Mantell? They're here. If they were tracked, I'm dead."

He tapped Vivens on the shoulder. "Follow me if you wish. I'm off to see Maz."

He started walking quickly towards the stairway.

He keyed his comms again. 

"Maz? Where are you?"

“You know how I said I was pretty sure I hadn't been followed? Well, someone I saw with that girl Aerith, is here and I assume she's here too.”

“Were you followed, Aerith?”

He looked down at his comm unit at the location Maz was transmitting and walked down the stairs.

“How did you know I was at Takodana? Was this a coincidence, or are you tracking me?”

“There was a tracker, but I destroyed it. I didn’t know you were here. We needed a refuel and this system was nearby.”

Ryn made it down the stairs and came face-to-face with Aerith.

“When did you destroy it? In the Ord Mantell system or in the Takodana system?“

He rubbed his eyes, wondering if Aerith would ask him why he was so worried about being followed. He looked over at Maz, wondering what to do.

“Here.”

“Kark. Karking kriffing sithspit. We have to leave now. I'll pay for your fuel if you need it. We'll need to shove my ship inside yours. You have a VCX-100, right? Yeah, we could probably shove it in there. But we need to leave now. Also, we need to talk about something.”

He turned to Maz. “Any advice?”

The voice of the bounty droid came over the comm. "Jedi Aerith Vih’torre. You are under arrest by Imperial order. Do not flee. You will not escape again."
