*Octavious had been here for a while. His mission was to track gun runners aiding the Mandalorians in their war efforts. He wasn't supposed to engage them, just track them. That's what Shadows were supposed to do, according to the Jedi Council. Then again, Octavious never really heeded to what the council wanted. He was the quintessential Gray Jedi. A servant of the light, but defiant to the end. The council overlooked this because he was a tracker par excellence. Being a Miraluka he had Force sight. Add psychometry to that and not many could get away unless they had a ysalamiri on them at the time. His quarry had landed here and they had no idea that they were being tracked. Even with the masses, Octavious was following their movements from the port as soon as they touched the ground. It was a piece of cake. Which meant he had to be on guard. Nothing in this galaxy is ever this easy. It had to be a setup. A trap. Octavious smiled to himself. His next move was to spring the trap.*

Mirania had only been here for a few days but already she was feeling a little bored. Since landing here, nothing remotely interesting had happened, save for a few of the usual happenings, like drunks being tossed out of bars and that sort of thing. Still, that came with the territory when one was wandering without a cause like she was doing. Sightseeing was well and good though, and she always preferred not to use her blaster if she could avoid doing so.
She moved through the streets, thinking now might be a good time to see about catching a transport off world. With her mind on her next destination, the Miraluka woman wasn't paying as much attention to where she was going and she didn't see the tall stranger approaching and she ran straight into the man and stumbled backwards. She managed to keep her balance though and avoid hitting anyone else, though she cursed herself for not being more aware."I'm sorry! Are you all right?" Finally paying attention now, Mirania realized that her question might have been a little silly, as the man she had run into was quite a bit taller than she was, and therefore unlikely to be fazed by the collision at all.
And he was a Miraluka, which immediately piqued her interest. Despite her travels, she rarely saw any of her fellow wanderers, and she was more than happy to greet a fellow Miralukan."Oh...you're Miraluka..."

*Finally, Octavious caught up to his quarry. The Trandoshan wasn't any wiser, and Octavious knew to stay down wind. Which being in a sink hole helped because there weren't many under ground breezes. The Trandoshan walked fast, so Octavious quickened his pace a little to keep him in view. What he couldn't have known is that he was on a crash course with another. A sudden thump and Octavious' attention is on a woman....A Miraluka woman. He nearly knocks her completely down to the ground if he hadn't caught her in his arms just as quickly. He's stunned. He hasn't been around another of his people since....well it's been a very long time. She apologizes as if it was her fault.*
"No, no it was my fault, are you okay?"
*He sees her only in that unique way that a Miraluka can. She clearly serves the light. A moment of lightheadedness overcomes Octavious. She was stunning. Was he nervous? Can't be coincidence that two wanderers just "bump" into each other. Octavious knew better, he was trained in the Force after all. And here she was. All Octavious could do was smile. Was he smitten like a school boy? He had long thought such things were past him. However, he doesn't get to think too hard about this.*
=Trandoshan gun runner=
"Hey! I thought you said you lost him!?! What is he doing here you weak fool?"
*The one Trandoshan shoots the other.*
"Grab them and bring them to the boss!" *Before he could move and with her still in his arms he touches her face softly.*
"I'm always glad to be around another Miralukan, but it seems I've placed you in some serious danger. Please forgive me."
*Soon after that Octavious is hit with a bothan stunner and falls to the ground as the others swarm to grab the poor Miraluka woman.*

Mirania nodded quickly, and she looked up at him, noticing his smile. His aura didn't seem dangerous, and that was a relief. She had run into some meaner types during her travels, but he seemed nice. And a fellow Miralukan to boot. How often did that happen?
Unfortunately, she wasn't given much chance to ask anything else, before a gunshot sounded behind her, and she twisted her head to look at what was happening. A Trandoshan was standing over the one he had just shot, and there were more thugs rapidly closing the distance. She realized that this man must have been hunting some dangerous people, and she was caught in the middle. Of all the people to run into...
Mirania didn't even have time to ask what the hell was happening before she felt a sharp pain on her upper back and her world went dark.

*Octavious started to regain consciousness, but it was black. Man did his head hurt. It took him a while to realize that the Lizards had a lizard in particular to stop him from using Force sight and that he hung from the ceiling with the woman he had just met. A damned Ysalamiri. Octavious had to rely on his other senses, like hearing and smell. It wasn't a big deal for him, he trained for this on Kel Dor. All he could do was wait and listen as he heard hissing. He tried to see if she was awake yet, so he whispers to her.*
"You okay?"

Mirania groaned as she slowly regained consciousness. Her head hurt and her shoulders were killing her, but she couldn't stretch out or lower her arms, and she suddenly realized that she was hanging from something. She also realized that her vision had gone completely dark, which shouldn't be possible because...wait. Even without the aid of the Force, she could tell someone was close. Right next to her in fact...
She heard him talking, asking her if she was OK. Kind of a dumb question as she had woken up hanging from the ceiling after being knocked out by someone and she couldn't see. She groaned again and tugged a little on her arms."Ow...n-no I'm not! What the hell is going on?! And why can't I see?!"

*She was upset and panicked. He didn't need to be a Jedi to know that. Being here, under these conditions, he could understand her even blaming him for this. Which she wouldn't be too far off with that assumption. He would have to act quickly to calm her.*
"Shhh...Try not to panic." *He Speaks to her in a hushed tone trying to calm her.*
"I was tracking Trandoshan Gun runners working for the Mandalorians. They've captured us, and you were collateral damage. You can't see because they have a ysalamiri in here with us. It's to neutralize my powers. Try not to struggle, you'll only hurt yourself. My name is Octavious, and I'm a Jedi Shadow. Sorry to have dragged you into this miss...."
*He trails off waiting for her to tell him her name.*

Mirania heaved a sigh, her earlier panic receding a bit now that she at least knew that she hadn't gone blind for no reason. She had heard of the ysalamiri ability to neutralize the Force in a small radius, but had never expected it to be actually used to blind her. Of course, they probably didn't know or hadn't seen that she was Miraluka too, but this Octavious must have been a threat. Just her luck to run into someone dangerous doing something dangerous, and now she was caught up in this.
She groaned again and stopped wriggling around, taking a moment to catch her breath."My name's Mirania."
It would probably be really easy to blame him and start yelling again, but that would just waste precious energy. Energy that would be needed for an escape, if she got the chance. Running like hell would be all she could do anyway, as they had taken their blaster and she couldn't really fight otherwise. She sighed and waited for the other shoe to drop, so to speak. It was only a matter of time before someone came to collect them. It would be unlikely that these particular Trandoshans would be willing to just let her walk...

*As she tells him her name one of the Trandoshan's overhear some whispers and heads back. Octavious is hit in the face with a blaster pistol, his head snaps to the right from the strike, and they are told to stop talking. The Trandoshan walks away after a few seconds and Octavious spits out a mouth full of blood. He can't help but smile. In a whisper, he speaks again.*
"I get the distinct feeling he doesn't like me too much."
*Shortly after that the transport stops moving. The Trandoshans take the intrepid duo off the bar on the ceiling and move them quickly from the vehicle to the meeting place. Within minutes they are placed in a cell. Octavious in a force cell and Mirania in another one for non-force users.*

Mirania winced when she heard the impact, but couldn't help but shake her head at Octavious's rather deadpan observation of the Trandoshan's opinion of him, even though he couldn't see. She sighed and kept her voice to a whisper."Ya think?"
She kept quiet as she was hauled to a cell, relieved to be away from that ysalamir as her sight returned. Sitting down, she took a look around the place, intending to keep searching for some kind of opening or opportunity to escape. No way she was just going to sit and wait for something to happen, she had to see if there was a way out of this.

*In the midst of the transition, Octavious uses his enhanced hearing to locate the keys Mirania's cell. Just before he's put into the force cage, he struggles with the guards and in that struggle manages to grab said keys. Not before he's beaten pretty badly. Without the Ysalamiri present, he can finally see where she is and how to get to her. He can't use the Force to heal himself, but he can feel a few pairs of bruised ribs. When he finally can breathe calmly, he starts to make a racket and whistling loudly. He has to do it for a few minutes, before they came back in with the ysalamiri and remove him from his cage. They proceed to beat him badly again but in the middle of the struggle, he manages to toss the keys to Mirania's cell to Mirania quietly. It was a foolish move, but he had no choice but to trust her. If he didn't they'd both be dead in a few hours. Without a doubt. Octavious is a bloody lump of dead weight when he's finally shoved back into the force cage. All that to beating to trust someone he didn't even know. All he could do was put blind hope into believing she would trust him to get them both out of there alive.*

While Mirania had opted for quietly observing their captors, Octavious had no intention of sitting quietly by, though it got him in a world of hurt as he egged on the guards for no discernible reason. At least it was not discernible at first. While she was wondering why he was letting himself get beat up within an inch of his life, she suddenly heard a small clinking sound in front of her, and there were the keys. It dawned on her that he had gotten the keys and managed to toss them to her while the guards were too busy focusing on rearranging his face. Reckless, but likely their only way out. While the guards were still distracted, she quietly grabbed the keys and hid them in her told
She waited until they had left before getting up and fumbling with the lock on her door for a few moments before getting it open and making her way to his force cage. The key for that was on here too, and soon the force cage had been disabled and she knelt down by Octavious."Oh gods...you really got beat..."His life force was weak, and she needed to act fast. Her options were limited, and he was too badly hurt for her to heal fully on her own, but she had to at least get him stabilized and try to fix at least some of the damage.
Drawing on the Force, she placed a hand on his chest and entered the healing trance, all of her focus on trying to fix whatever she could. She needed her medical supplies, but they had been taken from her during her capture and she could only do so much with the Force alone. Her skills as a healer were honed, but it wasn't a miracle worker. It would have to be enough for now, though, and she put all of her strength into her efforts.

*Octavious was messed up bad. The Trandoshans did a number on him definitely. Mirania does what she can to heal him, as he was close to to bleeding to death internally. A few seconds goes by and he starts to hack and cough, turning his head to spit out some blood. He came to and knew immediately that he had broken ribs, split lip, and a punctured lung. With Mirania's aid he heals the punctured lung, but doesn't have time to fix the rest. He gets up gingerly, focusing on the light side to set up and ambush. He lifts up the cage over the door and knocks to draw out the guard. The guard comes out with the ysalamiri, which drops the cage on top of the guard and ysalamiri. The noise will absolutely attract the others but it at least gets Octavious his long-handled light saber back. He looks behind at Mirania.*
"Thanks for saving me. I was a goner for sure. You need to stay close. It's about to get real ugly, real fast."
*With the proverbial snap-hiss, Octvaious ignites his viridian blade on his long-handle lightsaber and enters a Soresu stance.*

Mirania nodded, unsure of how much more help she could be to him. The healing had taken a lot out of her, especially without the rest of her medical supplies. Usually her Force Heal was used in conjunction with applications of bacta and stimulants to get the body to heal itself. Having to rely exclusively on Heal was draining, and his injuries had been extensive. He was good to go for now, but he needed further attention, and she wouldn't be able to provide it until she had some time to recover.
Her fatigue was evident as she replied."No problem...just make it worthwhile..."

*He could feel her fatigue. It was up to him, and he was waiting. The first one bursts in the room, but's it's no surprise to Octavious who saw it coming. The trandoshan fires his weapon and Octavious swings with a hum of his viridian blade to deflect it. He takes a step forward even with broken ribs and swings his blade with the intention to direct it back at the lizard. He does but the lizard ducks. Two more trandoshans enter but this gives Octavious the chase to cover some distance between them and close the gap. As his blade hums with each deflection Octavious gets in a deflection slash taking out both the lizards. By now the other lizard is on his feet and pulls a vibro-blade. In a downward slash, Octavious cuts off the hand. The smell of burnt flesh was in the air, but that was second only to the agonizing yell the lizard gave out in his native tongue. Octavious force pushes him into the wall to quiet him but the jig was up. They had to get out of there quickly. Octavious had a nice pair of broken ribs and Mirania was worn out. He gestures for her to take his hand as he held his saber in the other hand for them to get out.*

Mirania collapsed against the wall and sank down, desperate for a breather after her exertions in healing Octavious. He had the situation handled well, despite his lingering injuries, and soon there were a bunch of incapacitated Trandoshans, but no doubt that had alerted the rest of them, wherever there were. Come to think of it, she had no idea where they were at all, but that wasn't important right now.
She hauled herself to her feet and grabbed his hand, hoping he knew how to get out of here."Do you know how to get out of here?"

*She takes his hand and he takes hers and pulls her with him. He winces as his broken ribs makes everything painful. Especially breathing.*
"I don't know the exact way out, but I could here the distances and turns. It's not far. We just have to avoid the reinforcements coming our way."
*It was easier said than done. Trandoshans were predators with keen senses. In all likelihood they would have to fight their way out. Octavious however, was pretty keen at hiding and throwing people off their tracking game. He wouldn't be a very good shadow if he couldn't. He moves forward at a pretty even pace. His ribs hurt but it was a fresh hurt. Something he could deal with. Three of the lizards were heading their way and he ducks into a shadowy corner and waits for them to pass. When they do, he shuts the door and re-ignites his saber and seal them off form where they were. The lizards would have to go the other way to get to them but at least they had a head start to get out first. Octavious heads closer and closer to the exit, holding Mirania's hand as the trudged forward.*

Mirania stumbled after him, keeping silent as they made their way through the hallways, ever alert for the Trandoshans, and it wasn't long before they encountered some. Fortunately, Octavious had it covered, even with his broken ribs. She was impressed by his skill, but too tired to be much of anything else at the moment. They had to be getting close though, but they had to get out of here soon. Her vision was becoming a little blurry from fatigue. Gasping for breath, she continued to stumble after him."Need to...get out...soon..."
