As if on cue, one of those "grumpy pups", as Dalo so aptly called them, came running down a hill head on towards them. "Huh... it's almost as if you summoned him. Where'd you learn that power?" Jair joked with a goofy smirk, before turning serious once again. "Let me try something..." The Kath Hound approached them aggressively. In all reality he probably picked up on their scent and was being territorial. He was a big guy with horns as well. But Jair held out his hand, sending pulsating waves of calmness out before them. Dalo would very likely be able to sense it too. The Kath Hound began do visibly slow down, and once he got to them, he gently approached Jair's hand, being drawn to the calming waves of the Force. The Kath Hound then lay down, and fell asleep.Despite this, Jair quietly addressed Dalo. "I think I should take you up on your offer. It's one thing to handle one of these guys, but a herd of them? That could be a problem." Dalo laughed, but fantasized for a moment. To be so in tune with nature like one could be with the Force, would be a strong focus of his in future studies in his spare time. He watched as the hound approached with a cool and calm demeanor. He held no aggression towards the animal for it was only doing what it knew best, what generations of elders taught him. To be strong, protective and run out any threat it deems to be as such. Dalo was impressed but not surprised at his mentor's knowledge and skill. He smiled again as the animal succumbed to sleep's deep embrace, bringing his eyes to meet Jair's again."Then it's settled. We will speak of payment after I deliver on my promised duty. Not a scratch, or its free." Dalo said with a wink, clearly jesting, before following Jair's lead..

Jair smiled as he beckoned Dalo to follow him, although in the opposite direction of where the Kath Hound came from.
"It's a bit of a roundabout way to get to the caves this way, but that Kath Hound came from a herd, so best not to stray too near to their territory. Ironically, I sense we are not very far from the caves, so it should not be a long journey. It's like the will of the Force set both of us up for all of this..."
Jair did not believe in coincidences when it came to the Force. He didn't believe in luck, either.

Dalo quickly ran onto his ship to grab his gear and a backpack with a few supplies and enough space if need be to assist in the transportation of these crystals back to Jair's ship. A new fire lit within him with the flames of purpose, to once again be something more and do something that benefits others more than himself.
As he exited, the ramp closed and security measures activated to protect it from theft or looters. The HK system was very efficient at this post and none have outsmarted it yet.
"We should be able to travel relatively unnoticed if we tread softly, talking minimal and try not to stumble on any nesting grounds. As for the Force, I've come to know it to have a will of it's own that no one can redirect. And often enough, I find it comical and the punchlines to be killers." Dalo smirked as he slung his pack and rifle to his back, assuring himself his lightsaber was safely tucked away and pistol was holstered. Vibros were clean and sheathed. "After you!"
