Fiora smiled back up at Jin, the sense of loss seeming to pass a lot quicker than usual. She let out a little laugh at Jin's joke
I'm sure he can't be that bad... Though I think my dad does the same sometimes...
She noticed the shimmer in Jin's eyes at the mention of the stars, and like that something of a crazy idea hit her. A stray thought surfacing faster than she could stop it
M-maybe we could see them together... You could come to the uppercity... W-with me and we could just stare at the stars together...
She put the offer out there, and almost as quickly regretted it a little. Once Jin found out who she really was, Fiora wasn't sure how the older girl would react. Maybe she would hate Fiora for being the Princess of the people that had done away with the gangs. She smiled up at Jin then
You're pretty awesome too, Jin! And ok!
Fiora picked up and matched Jin's quickened pace. Soon they would be somewhere safe and Fiora might be able to relax a little bit more

Jin was once more surprised by the young girl, offering and wanting to look at the stars together. It touched her as one of the most sincere things that had been said to her in a while. But then the girl seemed slightly troubled. Again Jin brushed it off, as they had been talking about some heavy stuff, plus the excitement from before. You know, I think I'd like that. Soon though, Jin was punching in the code to unlock the buildings doors, and in they went. There was a lift, but the months old "out of order" sign still hung across it's doors. So up the stairs the pair went. Soon after about three flights they came to an apartment where Jin scanned her thumb print. The door hissed open to the apartment. It opened up to a living area and a kitchen to the right. Infront of them, behind a small display screen were windows overlooking the street they had just been on. There were three other doors on the left wall. And sitting on the couch watching a game of Bolo-ball on the screen was a Kel-Dor male.
Hey, Uncle, I'm home!
Turning around to see his 'niece,' Ryath spotted the young girl. I see you're not alone.
Yeah this is Flora... Domino, you said? Jin wasn't too good with remembering names.
Ryath got up and crossed over to the pair, and offered a slightly silly and over the top bow. A pleasure to meet you, Flora Domino, I am Ryath, guardien of this wild child. He of course indicated Jin, who retorted with a stuck out tongue. You see how she taunts me? I can't do that with this mask on! The two seemed like they could go back and fourth forever if Flora wasn't there to draw focus from their antics.

Despite the regret and concern she felt about Jin finding out who she really was, Fiora still managed to smile when the older girl seemingly accepted the offer. It would be nice to have a friend to stare up at the stars with, maybe teaching each other about the constellations and worlds that orbited the different stars. Fiora's thoughts were turned from such things for a few moments however as they seemed to arrive to the building where Jin lived. She felt a sense of safety as they entered through the pin coded door and made the climb up the three flights of stairs. With Fiora doing her best to not seem too winded as they arrived to the door where Jin scanned her thumbprint.
She took in the scene of the apartment as they entered. Her inquisitive gaze darting around to take it all in, before finally coming to settle upon the Kel-Dor male sitting upon the couch. A look of confusion crossed her features as Jin addressed the man as her Uncle. This was definitely not who she pictured as being the Uncle that Jin spoke about, since her assumption had been that it would be a human. She looked up to Jin and gave a nod as the older girl confirmed the fake name Fiora had given. Her attention going back to the Kel-Dor then, as the man rose up and came over to give a bit of an over the top bow.
She let out a bit of a chuckle as the two interacted. It was odd to believe that the pair had lived such a rough life and yet could yet still laugh and smile like they were doing now
It's a pleasure to meet you Uncle Ryath! Jin has told me a lot about you...

Ryath straights up and crosses his arms and took on a stern tone. It was hard to read his expressions with his breath mask on, but given the previous back and fourth, it likely was in jest. Oh has she now? I hope it's all been true... and therefor only good things!
Jin did mark Flora's confusion at Ryath's presence and decided to clear that up. Ryath does take good care of me. He was a close friend of my parents before... She paused, seemingly unable to say the words that came next. Shaking her head slightly she put on another smile and gave Ryath a small friendly punch to the arm. Well, he's stuck with me now!
Ryath sighed. Yes, I suppose I am. He turned back to address Flora and leaned down as if he was about to reveal a big secret. I've never met a more stubborn and independent young woman, who at the same time will throw a fit when I buy the wrong crackers at the store! A mistake I will not soon make again, I assure you! But I'm so proud of her!
Okaaaay, okaaay, enough of the sappy stuff. Flora and I have to get to the PT station early tomorrow. She lost her parents, so we're going to head on to my room. Jin started to hurriedly guide her new friend to the furthest extra room, in the way only a teenager running from an embarrassing parent could.
Goodnight you two! And if you need anything let me know. I'll be starting work likely earlier, so I'll be up.
Yeahyeahyeah, we will. Jin called over her shoulder before letting the door to her room close behind the pair. The room was sparsely furnished, with a desk, chair, a footlocker and a twin bed. There was a closet that contained mostly black, purple, dark blue, and other similar colored cloths. Over the desk was the window to the street. It was almost completely covered by different sketches, some of which had been colored in. They mostly featured a pair of humans or some variation of the Triple Threat Triad emblem. Jin dropped her bag on the desk, and started to dig around in the locker. She retrieved an extra blanket and pillow. Well, it's not much, but it's home!

Fiora let out a small laugh as Ryath spoke, while remembering some of the highlights that Jin had said
They were nice things...
She turned back to Jin as the older girl then started explaining the whole situation regarding how Ryath came to be her Uncle. She knew what the unspoken words were. She might have been a child, but she'd seen enough people die in her own life to understand it. She smiled then at the interaction between the two then, not wishing to interrupt the conversation. Soon enough, however, Jin was hurriedly guiding Fiora away to the furthest room. She gave Ryath a wave over her shoulder
It was nice meeting you Uncle Ryath!
And like that, the door was closed and her attention was turned to Jin's bedroom. The space, despite being sparsely furnished, was considerably smaller than Fiora's quarters in the palace. Which, she supposed, she should have guessed that it would be. Her own room must have been the size of this whole apartment. Space that was a precious commodity in a place like this.
Fiora followed Jin over to the desk, her gaze still lingering here and there at the items in the room. But as Jin dropped her bag and moved over to the locker, Fiora remained at the desk. Almost unconsciously reaching up and pulling back the hood that had covered her flowing red mane and pale features. Allowing her to better look at and examine the sketches that Jin had done and stuck upon the window. They were all so good and Fiora liked them all. She turned back around then, facing her friend with a smile
It's lovely!

Jin laid out the blanket and pillow on the floor before returning to look at Flora. It was nice to finally see the girls face, but there was something familiar about it. She couldn't quite place where she'd seen a similar face before, but she knew she had. But then she realized she was staring and hadn't responded to the complement. Oh, uh, they're okay, I guess...
It was really starting to bug her about where she'd seen the girls face before. She was getting an impression that it was something important. Had she seen a missing persons poster? What was it? Jin sat down on the laid out blanket and motioned toward the bed. You can take the bed, since you're my guest, and still look a little winded from that stunt you pulled earlier. If you don't want to sleep in the cloths you're wearing I can find you something, though most of my things are going to be a bit big on you. Something about the red hair and face was at the tip of her brain. She had to find out. You look familiar. Are you sure this is your first time down here?

Fiora felt a little self conscious as Jin seemed to stare at her for a moment before finally speaking, trying to brush off the compliment about her work and room. At this point, it would be a little suspicious for her to pull the hood back up, and foolish to believe that Jin would forget what she had seen. But she was pulled from such things as she shuffled over to the bed that was offered. She sat on the bed, her cheeks suddenly taking on a red blush as she looked down sheepishly, her fingers intertwining with one another and her thumbs twiddled together
Maybe w-we could uhhh... share the bed... I-I don't take up a lot of space! And it would be mean of me to kick you out of your own bed... and... and... I...
She squeezed her eyes shut tightly then, feeling way more embarrassed now than she had so far. She didn't like admitting to having this uncontrollable bad dreams. But she wondered if maybe her new friend might be able to help. It was worth a try after all
I have bad dreams... And I don't want to be alone...
She cautiously opened her eyes then and looked slightly down toward Jin's gaze. There was a sense of recognition there, but not one solid enough just yet
Nope! nope... never been down here before, it's definitely my first time.... I just look really familiar... uhhh, yeah... I get that a lot...
If 10 year olds were allowed to play poker, Fiora would definitely be told to avoid it. She understandably had a terrible poker face. One which Jin would no doubt be able to see right through

Jin chuckles a little bit at Flora's confession about having bad dreams and wanting someone to sleep with. It wasn't a mocking chuckle, but one of the few responses to something so pure and innocent being asked of her. Sure, kid. Jin then collected her blanket and pillow off the floor and placed them on the bed. She then sat next to Flora and removed her boots, then she took another look at Flora's face. Maybe so... I feel like I saw it on a holo recently though... Jin thought hard as she studied the face and features of the young woman. Trying to remember the last big event she had watched on the holovids. Then it hit her like a speeder. Between the uncanny resemblance and Flora's awful poker face, it could only be one person. Princess Fiora Delvardus. The now stunned and almost panicky Jin slipped off the bed and onto the floor with a thud. She didn't seem to care, as her eyes stayed locked on the girl. Finally she managed to get out the words. Yo- You're the Princess?! You're Princess Fiora, aren't you!? She pushed herself away from the bed and to the opposite wall. Sitting up against the wall, Jin tried to process this new information and the circumstances that had to have happened for the two unlikely people to literally bump into one another.

Despite the embarrassment of the confession about her dreams, she was thankful that Jin had agreed to sleep with her. She smiled when her friend sat on the bed next to her and started removing her boots. For a few moments it felt like maybe everything was going to be alright and they might be able to get to sleep without further questions. But it seemed fate had much different plans as Jin continued to study her face further. She saw the recognition grow in Jin's eyes before the older girl slipped off the bed and fell onto the floor. She almost moved to help Jin right up until her friend put words to her realization. Her smile from a few moments ago very quickly fading to a more solemn expression as she watched Jin scurry to the opposite side of the room. She couldn't blame Jin for the reaction she had, all things considered. Instead, Fiora shuffled back onto the bed a little, pulling her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around to hold them there. Letting out a solemn sigh, she rested her chin on her knees. Keeping her gaze settled on Jin
I... yes, I am... I-I'm sorry... I just wanted to get out for a little bit... A-And I didn't want to tell you cause...
She shifted her gaze over to the art work on the window with all of the Triple Threat Triad logos
Cause of what happened to them... I didn't want to upset you...
She looked back at Jin, trying to fight back the tears

Feeling the wall behind her with her hands, Jin slowly used it to help her stand. She felt the anger swell up in her. And she almost let it out, but caught herself. She took a couple deep breaths before taking careful steps towards Fiora. She got over to the bed and knelt down in front of it, resting her arms on the bed and her chin on her arms. Look, you aren't your father, and you aren't the Empire. You didn't make those decisions. I can't be upset with you. And for what it's worth, I get you not wanting to show your true identity right away. For all you knew I would try and ransom you or some other messed up poodoo. She reaches a hand out to Fiora. Look, the Empire brings up a lot of feelings for me. Like, sure they made life around here a lot tougher, but I'm sure other parts of the planet are happy to have them. If Jin actually believed this, or it was something she just told herself to make the hurt a bit better, even she didn't know at this point. But she said it with as much sincarity as she could muster. I'm sorry for my reaction it's just, she couldn't help but crack a small smile at the absurdity of the situation, I didn't expect to be having a sleep over with the Princess of the First Order. And look, nothing has changed between us. I still think you're a really cool kid, and I still want to be your friend. She then closed her reached out hand into a fist, save the pinky. I promise.

Fiora seemed to brace herself, sensing something swell within the Force. But then nothing came from it. She looked at Jin through tear blurred eyes, as the older girl took several careful steps before kneeling before the bed. Fiora kept herself curled up for the moment, listening as Jin spoke. It was true she had not made those decisions, but there were those that believed in guilt by association. She was just glad Jin seemed to feel otherwise and was understanding about it all. Definitely being kidnapped and ransomed was a concern she had held at some point. But if Fiora was honest, the stuff with the gangs had come more on her mind than anything
I... I get it... Sometimes what is good for some people is not always good for everyone... L-like chocolate...
It was an odd comparison to make, but it was about the best thing her mind could come up with in the moment. A faint smile seemed to appear on Fiora's face, before a pout immediately replaced it. She unclasped her left hand from her legs and reached it out, extending her own pinky and linking it with Jin's
You pinky promise?! There's no breaking it!
Her pout seemed to disappear and replaced by the smallest smile once more
Because I want to have a friend that's nice and cool...

With that Jin stood up and sat down on the bed next to the younger girl. So... Like, am I marching you up to the Imperial Palace tomorrow, oooorrr... Jin was somewhat joking, but also extremely curious as to how they would get Fiora home. If she didn't willingly go with the bucketheads earlier, then she must want to try to sneak back in. Which would be tough, given that it was the most secure place on the planet if not in the whole galaxy.

The night had long come into existence, although one wouldn't know it this many layers deep within the city. Lights were still in abundance, casting an eerie glow throughout the streets, stuck in perpetual night. The only thing that gave it away was the temporary cease in the public transit vehicles, leaving only a few speeders to litter the sky. None of them were outsiders, though. No one would come here willingly.
At least, that was what Psycho thought as he carved his way through the G17 district of the Underworld. However, he had received a mysterious message, a call he dared not ignore. Clad in nothing more than a simple t-shirt, pants, and shoes, the man blended in well enough as just another sleepless resident without anything better to do but trudge through these smog-ridden streets. Bearing a cigarette between his lips, he puffed it a few times before coming up to the stop in question. At this hour, the Stormtroopers were between shift changes. He had maybe two minutes before he, too, would have been stopped. Not like it mattered to him, though, since he actually had valid credentials proving he lived around these parts. Still, the lady wanted secrecy, so she'd get what she wanted. There had been rumors of a young girl managing to escape some Stormtroopers stationed here earlier in the night. It was odd that she of all people would take an interest in such a petty little incident, but then again, he didn't bother asking, either. With a huff, he flicked the cigarette from his fingers and crouched down, placing his hand on the concrete beneath his feet.
The flash of a thousand days fluttered through the Kiffar's head. So many feet, so many faces. He pushed his way through the fog and murmurs until he found what he was looking for. A green cloak hiding a small figure. She was scared but brave--thoughtless, for another word. He could hear the resonance of the demands for identification, one which she refused in attempts to use some silly mind trick. Of course, when it didn't work, he made out the flutter of green with the pounding of her tiny footsteps.
"Really, kid?"
Psycho scoffed a laugh. The dark-haired Kiffar stood to his full, imposing height before turning his gaze towards the direction he saw her run. With slow steps, he continued his moseying throughout the streets as though he hadn't anywhere else to go. Having focused on her path, he could make out the sudden jerk of a turn down an alleyway, hopefully containing something more he could work with. Sure enough, there was--bits of graffiti that looked fresh. The Imperials had tried to scrub it away by this point, but there was still some lingering bits of paint. With a sly smirk, Psycho pressed his fingertips against the wall, leaning his weight against it as he melted his mind into the happenings prior.
Again, there were too many images that flooded the memory of this place. Drug deals and busts, people getting shot, lovers making out, and homeless drunkards taking their piss. Focusing, he pushed through it all until the sight of another young girl raged into his mind, painting the very piece of art on the wall. The girl with the green cloak was there with her. Although their words were too muffled to make out, there were three things he could decipher. First, the mention of the Triple T's. Second, the cloaked girl's ability to free them from further pursuit. Third, the direction that the new girl took the two.
Psycho pushed himself off the wall with a grunt of exhaustion. However, with a sigh to compose himself, he ran his fingers to push out the hair from his eyes before following the girl's footsteps. As he walked, though, he couldn't help but mutter to himself at just how idiotic this whole thing was. The Triple T's? What was this girl thinking, mentioning an old gang like that to the Stormtroopers? They were lucky enough to get out without being taken in by that mention alone. Rebellious teenagers--thinking they were invincible until proven otherwise. Only a lucky few with that kind of mindset would venture into the cruelty of this world with their lives. Rolling his eyes, he pulled out another cigarette and lit it.
With the direction he caught in the flickering images, Psycho figured that they headed into the residential sector. It sure as hell made his life a little easier, without having to trudge a dozen levels deep just trying to find this girl. Pulling in deep drags on his cigarette all the way, he left his mind empty to the girl's risky attitudes and even the job at hand. If he could manage, he would enjoy at least a night off from the bar, regardless if he had to fulfill some crazy mission for a few extra credits. It was only a brief moment of peace, though. As the residential buildings skyrocketed into view, he had to get back to work, so after finishing off yet another cigarette to calm his nerves, he flicked away the butt and crouched down again to place his fingertips on the concrete.
So many images, so many bustling people. Kids going to school to learn things they'll forget in a month, adults going to their menial jobs just to survive out here. A few sketchy individuals doing what they do best--illegal activities while avoiding the law--while others weren't so lucky. Tuning in to the most recent imprints, he could finally make out the girls as they rushed down the street. And then he saw it--the building. Her voice called out, acknowledging her uncle, her family, with the girl in the green cloak in tow. The door closed, shutting off what he could make out of their encounter in closed doors.
Psycho growled as he pushed himself back to his feet. ~Great. Just great,~ he thought to himself as he headed towards the building imprinted within his memory. So he managed to find the girl. Hopefully, his contact wouldn't issue some kind of phase two to break in and steal her. While he could fight one hell of a brawl, breaking and entering wasn't exactly in his job description. Unlike some of the snakes deeper up the vine, he had a name and an honest job to make a living that he wanted to keep intact.
"This is Psycho to Nyx. The Lotus is in bloom."
Despite having such secure transmissions, apparently, they still had to use these stupid code phrases. Psycho would swallow his disgust towards it, though, for what the woman paid him for such a trivial task as tracking down a girl. Stopping on the side of the road, Psycho pulled out another cigarette and took his sweet time to enjoy it. No one would bother him, not when he looked like just another resident looking to enjoy his cigarette. That was unless any of these neighbors were close. It was unlikely, though, not with a myriad of colorful people living around these parts. Surely, her uncle wouldn't want them conversing with possible death stick dealers or black market blaster salesmen. All he needed to do now was wait for her response.
Excellent work. Upload your coordinates.
After doing as instructed, he patched through again.
"Coordinates sent. Awaiting further instructions."
He scowled inwardly as he waited for her response.
Coordinates received. Mission success. We'll take it from here. Go home, rest up, and don't spend all your credits in one place.
Psycho huffed a joyless laugh as he finished off his cigarette before heading back. ~Yeah, right,~ he thought to himself. He could have all the credits in the world. It wouldn't stop him from wondering what she would want with a girl her age. Hopefully, he didn't just lead another to their untimely and oh-too-soon death. Taking in a deep breath of the fetid air, though, he knew that the credits they paid him were meant to keep his mind from wandering too far and his mouth shut from asking if it did. What happened to the girl was none of his concern. If an ill fate found her, well, that blood was on Nyx's hands, and he would remain none-the-wiser to those workings. All he could do--and would do--was head back and wait for the next job to help keep him afloat in the higher levels of the Underworld.

She mumbled the compliment, before pulling back from the hug and sitting up a little as Jin asked how tomorrow was going to go down. Fiora pursed her lips and blushed a little when Jin suggested they march up to the front entranceNo! no! no! I, uhhh, have a way in and out... Well, I had a way out, I'm not sure if it will work the same way getting back in by the morning... But we're definitely not marching up to the Palace... Fiora pouted a little at the mention of the ideaI'd get in sooo much trouble... |

Jin let out a deep breath. Good, a not direct approach would be best, probably. Honestly, she'd never been in over her head like this before and she was fighting to keep her cool for Fiora's benefit. Okay, that sound's good. Less trouble for you, probably means less for me. So, we'll get you there extra early. Jin returned the hug before continuing on, a little more lighthearted. And in that case we'd best get to sleep. Last thing I want is your dad getting mad at me for letting you stay up past your bed time! So, Jin helped Fiora with her last preparations for bed and laid down with the young girl. There may be nightmares of Jin's own that needed fought off as her mind couldn't help but wonder what would happen to her if things didn't go to plan. But her alarm was set and it would be going off in too few hours for her liking, so the sixteen year old finally managed to coax herself into some sleep.

Jin wasn't wrong in her assessment that the less trouble Fiora was in, the less trouble she herself would be in. Landing her new friend in any sort of trouble was at the top of her list of things not to do. She smiled warmly as Jin returned the hug and spoke of getting some sleep ahead of their early start
I think you mean stay up any later past my bed time...
She smiled sheepishly then, for it was most certainly well and truly past her bed time. But at Jin's insistence, she removed her shoes and cloak before laying down in bed. Fiora curled up against Jin, pressing her face into the older girls chest as she wrapped her arms around to hug her. She closed her eyes, hoping that maybe now she might be able to get some restful sleep. She shut out all other sounds from outside and concentrated on the rhythmic beat of her friends heart. A small smile forming on her lips as she drifted off to sleep finally. This hadn't been how she thought tonight would go, but she was grateful that it had ended up like this. She'd made a friend

Heavy footsteps moved casually down the dirty streets. Though easy, they weren't without purpose. He was on a hunt, though his prey wasn't able to hide like he thought he could. Right now, he wanted to let his target fall into a false sense of security, thinking he had gotten away. The Mirialan smirked to himself as he turned down an alleyway.
It was a dead-end, though that didn't seem to stop him. Opening his right hand, the gun at his side slide away from his side and into his grip. Reaching the back way, his head lowered as his golden cybernetic eyes began to glow a brighter red. The biometric heat signature already had a lock on the man he hunted and right now, that person rested on the otherwise of the wall. Stepping back, his gun rose to point at it, his target being the man. "Gun, command line. Maximum Execution." His gun began to whirl as it began to charge ready to unleash a powerful shot. A final smirk fell across his face as he pulled the trigger. Smoke and debris filled the air, blocking everyone's view. With a new hole to allow him access, he fired another shot and his target fell. But that wasn't the end of it.
Letting go of the gun, it floated into the room and began to spin rapidly. The smoke clearing a bit, his cybernetic eye saw what his targeting sights did and locked on to all within the room. The man was the target, but if those within the room could be taken down, it was a bonus. Just another reason why he took his time. "Death Blossom mode." As the command came, the gun begun firing in all different directions. The action continued for a minute before stopping. All within the room had fallen. Calling his gun back to him, he quickly made his way out of the alley and returned to the streets before others came running to figure out what happened.

She smiled sheepishly then, for it was most certainly well and truly past her bed time. But at Jin's insistence, she removed her shoes and cloak before laying down in bed. Fiora curled up against Jin, pressing her face into the older girls chest as she wrapped her arms around to hug her. She closed her eyes, hoping that maybe now she might be able to get some restful sleep. She shut out all other sounds from outside and concentrated on the rhythmic beat of her friends heart. A small smile forming on her lips as she drifted off to sleep finally. This hadn't been how she thought tonight would go, but she was grateful that it had ended up like this. She'd made a friend |

Despite how short of a sleep they had, it was probably the most restful sleep that Fiora had experienced in months. No dreams or visions of things to come haunted her sleep. When the alarm went off, she opened her eyes slowly and smiled up at Jin. But soon she was moving swiftly as she got out of the bed and pulled her cloak back on, pulling the hood up once more to conceal her identity. She watched her new friend get ready before following her out of the apartment, giving a wave to Ryath as they passed him by. As they came out onto the street, Fiora slipped her hand into Jin's and gripped it tightly as they made the trek back to the station
T-Thank you... For last night... and today...

The two girls wouldn't make it too far from their house, though, before an eerie feeling would wash over them. It didn't take a Force-Sensitive to feel as though they were being watched. It usually came with the territory, to always keep one's eye out for any shady or sketchy individuals. It was a sensation that would follow them, though, and only continue to rise as they made it closer to the station. In due time, the source of that ominous impression would finally reveal itself.
"Well, good morning there, little ladies."
The girls had barely made it out of the residential district when two rather men called out to them as they passed by an alleyway, which masked them in shadows. Although they made no initial effort to stop the girls, one of them took a step closer to them with his 'friend' lingering close behind. It was clear with their steady stares that they weren't about to just let the girls go about their morning peacefully.
Heavily tattooed on every square inch of bare skin, both men were dressed in simple clothes that offered no real indication as to who they were. For anyone familiar with these parts, though, there was a particular tattoo on their upper arm that was half-covered by their shirts. The black ink indicated a specific gang that still attempted to operate in the lower levels, even despite the Imperial forces' attempts to thwart them.
"What're you two thinking you're doing out in the wee hours of the morning, huh?"
"Shouldn't you two be getting ready for school or something?"
The other man's lips split into a malicious, toothy grin.
"I think we should make sure you two get there. You know, bad things happen to girls who play hooky."
