[Day 4 - Late Afternoon, Harbour] The Sea Ward

[Esla Tor]

"Sure," she nodded readily, glad to have someone who might know more about machines that she did. After all, wasn't he the one who was in charge of slicing the security systems on that raid? If it was anything like her previous shopping trip, she was going to need all the pointers she could use. However, she made a note to buy only one thing. She wanted to avoid making off with two thermal cloaks like last time.

"How much longer are we here? Mmm, maybe we can do it the next day after tomorrow? Do you think there will be time?"

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"I'm not sure." He repleid thoughtfully. "Lets plan for then though, if it turns out we can't make it out then, well i'll just have to try and build you one I suppose." It was possible, but more then a little time consuming.

"It won't be as pretty as the one's you can find in the shops though. It will do the trick of course, but that's really not saying much." He didn't have all the machines or premanufactured parts avaiable after all. He had to make do with what he could do by hand. Not that, that was a bad thiing of course. Sometimes he could manage to make things pretty well.

[Esla Tor]

Esla looked a bit unsure for a moment, especially as it would require Silas to make yet another thing for her. "I'm sure we can probably make it work. At the very least, we could print it out, I guess. I don't think we'll be going alone either..." She said carefully. Would the Jedi Masters drop each of them in separate spots to test their survival skills? It didn't seem likely but she didn't want to discount that.

"But studying in advance is probably better..." She gave herself a sure nod at that.

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"Probably not." Silas replied, thinking back on what the masters had said. "If we don't go all together I expect small groups of two or so with one of the masters or a knight." That made sense at least to Silas.

"But really, I'm not sure what to expect, so I figureded it's best to be as prepared as we can be."

[Esla Tor]

She nodded soundly at that and let out a small sigh of uncertainty. "Yet, it's probably easier to be prepared for wherever we might be going but less so when it comes to the Force. There isn't much we can upgrade or buy when it comes to that. I think Byron mentioned that might be even...a vergence?"

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"I'm not sure of that part, I do know at least a little about the weather though, as well as most of the other things we will face."

His lips parted in a wry smile. "Honestly I haven't studied Vergences all to much either. Maybe I should."

[Esla Tor]

"Vergences..." She repeated the word with a murmur as she watched a blue leisure raft slowly float by. The concept seemed too nebulous to her, especially when it was considered to be largely a phenomenon among the Jedi. How was someone supposed to properly research such a thing? It seemed like a lost cause.

"Have you talked to any of the Masters or Knights?" She asked more meaning in general than vergences.

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"Not about Vergeances." He admitted after a moment. "I've talked to them a little about a few others things though." There was a thoughtful pause, most of it hadn't been his studies at all now that he though about it. "I guess I don't really like to bother them too much? Outside of classes and stuff like that, ya know."

"I probably should though. What about you?"

[Esla Tor]

"I've kind of talked to Master Farissa when I called summoned," she said recalling the debate they had. It seemed more like an evaluation than a debate, when she thought about it. "Even if I haven't talked to many of them, I imagine that they have a lot of faith in what we're doing and hopefully what we'll become. I'm sure they are happy to help but I get the feeling it's not their place to guide us too much."

She quietly shrugged at that, wondering if she was merely thinking that she was being a pest.

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"Hrm, maybe you're right?" He paused thoughtfully. "I kinda think that they want to observe what our instincts are though?"

"How we react to things rather then how we do with a task. I k ow they are evaluating our responses too. To better be able to pair us with a Knight. I think they want to find someone who can help us with our weak points?"

[Esla Tor]

Her gaze drifted out to the number of ships on the harbour, perhaps trying to find her favourite among them. "If you had a choice of who to go with, who would you pick?"

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"To ilum?" He pondered slightly... "That's a hard choice, I think I would pick peoples with skills unlike mine own." He offered Aina a smile. "You might be a good choice for example, and Di comes to mind as well..."

"I mean, I think I could trust both of you as well, so it really just depends?"

"What about you? Anyone who comes to mind"

[Esla Tor]

Esla couldn't help but blush faintly when she was picked as a potential companion, especially considering she was really asking about which master or knight he would like to accompany. "...Thank you."

"Uhm," She said with some hesitation at first, finding her own questions redirected elsewhere and she wasn't going to correct him yet. "I guess I wouldn't mind you and maybe Byron? You both seem to know a lot. I think you will do very well in your Trial."

[Silas Myles Pearson]

The young ladies blush caused Silas to avert his gaze. Aina certainly was cute when when she blushed, and for a moment he considered telling her so.

"Cap is pretty smart." Silas replied with a nod, though he was a bit disappointed the older boys name came up. "But then, so are Meli and Pixie. Still thanks, it's nice to know you have that kind of trust in me."

[Esla Tor]

"His name is Cap?" She murmured as she took note of the name that was given to Byron, it seemed. "I don't think Master Farissa would have put you in charge of doing something important for the mission if people didn't have trust in you. I barely got by looking after the young ones."

[Silas Myles Pearson]

He hadn't considered his part to be all that special, but now that he thought about it, it probably was pretty important. "I didn't think about that."

"But anyways, I think you did great, you weren't silly like me getting shot and everything."

[Esla Tor]

Esla looked down and gave an abashed shrug on the matter. It wasn't like she did all that great there. Her attempt to end the conflict without blaster fire was very naive and in vain. She also missed her good share of shots. "I guess I did something..."

After a beat, she quickly brought up. "Ah...we should probably get going. We're meeting the others for dinner, right?"

[Silas Myles Pearson]

Silas really wasnt sure how to tell Aina he thought she did pretty well there. So he just let the subject drop, instead offering her a warm smile.

"Yeah, we dont want to be late for dinner, I'm starving after all."

[Esla Tor]

"Let's probably get going? I don't think I really know where it is...but I guess we might have a better idea together?" She gestured for him to lead the way.

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"Okay." He smiled at her and turned to walk towards the bazaar. "Tell me if I'm walking too fast, we wouldn't want to get separated."
