“Likewise,” said Taralorn. While Iella seemed friendly enough, Taralorn sensed that she was rather guarded, cautious, or perhaps, simply reserved. He wasn't quite sure, but he didn't mind. He enjoyed meeting new people and making friends, as long as he did his best to ignore the fact that he would outlive them, and there would come the time of the pain of loss whenever he made close friendships with any Adhartim. Then again, everyone had a time and place, he supposed, even him. So, pushing the morbid thoughts aside, he maintained his smile while moving on to a more serious subject as it were. “So, new to Felucia, huh? Been to some of the sights around here? They say the Sarlacc pit on this planet is one of the largest ones in entire galaxy. Worth checking out at least once in your life.” He lifted up an uneaten mushroom without its stem and showed it to her, “A word to the wise, though, if ever you get the urge to eat whilst out in the wilderness of this formidable planet, check with natives for which one won't give you an unwanted trip to the rainbow galaxy. Or check with me. I think I have the varieties figured out. I know they say Jedi learn to live off the Force, but sometimes it's just not worth it.” Grinning, he said, “Oh and feel free to stop me if I seem to be getting too chatty, any time.” He dropped the mushroom on the table and leaned back, his smile finally fading a little, “Mind if I ask what led you to Felucia? I have a theory, and your answer might help me piece the mystery together.” *Iella actually hated mushrooms and wouldn't likely be sampling any from here or any other planet anytime soon. Taralorn didn't necessarily need to be made aware of her distaste, so she just smiled and nodded.*"I'll be sure to ask you right away if I need something identified." *As for sightseeing, that really wasn't why she was here, but like he had said it might be worth checking out if she had some free time.
As for why she had come here, well there was a story behind that. One she didn't feel like getting into with him at this time. She just shrugged.*"Well, I'm at kind of a crossroads, actually. I was on assignment on Coruscant not too long ago but it...went south." *She paused for a moment to take a breath before continuing.*"Anyways, I'm here to see if I can get a fresh start." *Just bringing up that botched mission would invite more questions, surely, but Iella could still hope that Taralorn didn't pry too much.*

*Iella smiled nodded and, for a moment there was silence at the table as the two of them ate. The stranger appeared to be sampling some mushrooms of some kind. Well, to each his own as they said. Her meal was much more "conventional" by Human standards.
She had more or less finished when the man introduced himself as Taralorn. With a smile, she introduced herself.*"I am new, actually. Just got here. I'm Iella Dresari. Nice to meet you, Taralorn."

*Iella looked up from her meal to see a youngish looking man approaching her, and she smiled and shook her head when he asked to join her. No harm in having some company for lunch, especially since she really didn't know anyone here yet. Well, except that Dandleion guy...at least this person wasn't going all over with the flowery speech and pick up lines...*"Not at all. Although I'm not much of a conversationalist when I'm eating. Hope that's all right."

*Iella entered the dining hall, the call for food temporarily outweighing all else for the moment. Never having been what one would call a picky eater, it wasn't long before she had loaded her tray and was sitting down to enjoy her first meal on Felucia.*

*Iella watched him go for just a moment, feeling a little bad for just assuming that all he knew how to do was flirt. Of course that was short lived as he seemingly returned right back to flirt mode as he left. Her master had always told her never to judge a holo-book by its cover, but this Dand character was hard to read. Granted their meeting had been brief, so there hadn't been much opportunity to get to know him. Then again, Iella suspected that he might like to "know" her in more than one way...
Rolling her eyes, she returned to the task at hand. It wasn't long before that was done though, and with the X-wing in good shape, Iella figured now would be a good time to check in. Straightening her cloak, she made her way out of the hangar.*

*So Dand was a Jedi after all. It was kind of difficult to believe that anyone with as much training as it would take to become a Peacekeeper could talk so...flowery. Iella had been hit on before a few times, but never by someone who spoke like Dand did. It was probably an act, like he had said it opened some doors for him, but it was still an odd thing to behold.
She sighed.*"All right then. Just call me Iella. And I have a question for you, Dand." *Though her face remained neutral, Iella was about ready to be done with this conversation.*"I'm wondering just what it will take for you to go somewhere else so I can work."

*Iella, for a few moments, was totally absorbed in the maintenance of her fighter. It was almost like a form of meditation, finding bad components withing the fighter and swapping them out or fixing it. The X-wing had aged well, or at least better than most other fighters of this type. She wasn't the most skilled mechanic around, but any pilot worth a scrap could handle a hydrospanner.
She had just been thinking about whether or not to bypass a bad coupling or try to rewire it when a voice sounded from behind her. Turning to face it, she spied someone walking towards her, a tall, light skinned and fair haired male. And he was spewing something that wouldn't have been out of place in a trashy holo-novel. As he rambled on about fate, the miracle of their meeting and other flowery speeches that she honestly didn't care to pay attention to. Who the hell did this idiot think he was?
It was only Iella's Jedi-trained restraint as well as her sense of the Force within him that kept her from doing something rather drastic. The man finished his speech and held out his hand, leaving a stunned and bewildered Iella to try and figure out just how to respond. How could one respond to that? Who even talked like that anymore? It boggled the mind....
Finally, Iella found her tongue and just decided to start with her name."Er...I'm Iella. Iella Dresari." *Dandleion seemed like an odd name, but that was far from the front of her mind.*"So do you introduce yourself to everyone like that? Seems kind of excessive if you ask me."

*Even from orbit, Iella could sense the massive life force of the planet Felucia. She felt it even more strongly now as she guided her fighter into the hangar. She powered down the engines and climbed out of the craft, glad of the opportunity to stretch her legs after the long flight. After taking a moment to stretch out, she deposited her flight headset in the cockpit, thinking it might be best to check in and get situated before doing anything else.
Then again, there would be plenty of time for that. She had noticed one or two minor issues with the X-wing's engines on the way down. Might be best to fix those first...
Grabbing a toolbox from the small cargo hatch, Iella got right to work.*
