*Telarial now strangely curious and equally drawn in by the rather peculiar feeling that she knows the stranger, walks over to join Faelan and Raine. She glances down at the girl with a subtle inclination of her head, physically communicating her interest in her. When she moves her T-shaped visor to glance up, her eyes finally get a good look at Adonias. That was when she stopped breathing, her fingers practically going numb, and hardly feels the blasters slipping through her gloved hands to land on the hangar floor, in complete and total shock. She wasn't sure how she knew...but...she just did. Her next words were mumbled but audible enough for Faelan and Raine to hear her.*
"I don't believe it...."

That his brother was preoccupied is unsurprising, and Faelan does not need to think hard at all to imagine what, or more likely, who it is that had been capturing Lorcan's attention when he should probably concerned himself more with what had apparently happened between Raine and the Mandalorian that appears to believe that they have something in common. Nor is Faelan terribly surprised that Raine had followed the Mandalorian despite the possible dangers or repercussions given her uniquely undisciplined and at time impulsive temperament and disposition. What to do about the current situation, Faelan thinks, is not entirely certain; he cannot detect any sense of deceit in the Mandalorian's words, though he knows that his abilities to detect such things are not entirely reliable. Telarial, however, with her unique abilities may have a way to glean whether the Mandalorian poses any threat, and yet before Falean has a chance to try and signal for her to try and read the Mandalorian using her gift of Force sensitivity, Faelan hears her muttered cry of disbelief.
What is it ad'ika? Faelan asks Telarial in a concerned tone, slipping into Mando'a as his muscles tense instinctively as he goes on guard and readies himself to move or draw his blaster swiftly if warranted upon hearing Telarial speak, the fingers of the hand on the grip of his KD-30 tightening.

*Telarial removes her buy'ce, revealing her face. She casts a stunned glance at Faelan in response to his question and makes a subtle gesture in Adonias's direction, her mouth opened and closed as she apparently lost the ability to speak. She slowly reaches out and gently pries Faelan's grip off his blaster and gives him a small smile, silently communicating that the man in front of them is not a threat. Her light, brown-green eyes meet that of Adonias's blue-grey ones. The moment the two of them make eye contact, what could only be described as a sudden electrical current seemed to jolt through the two of them as the Force confirmed Telarial's suspicions. She took two hesitant steps forward, her eyes filled with disbelief. Her voice was soft and nearly shook, as she fought back joyful tears at the realization that this man standing in front of her, was indeed her long lost twin brother...*
"Adonias...do you...do you remember me?"

*Adonias frowned with a look of sudden suspicion. The feeling that he knew this young woman...who looked to be his age...was starting to make him feel mildly uncomfortable. He shook his head slowly with distrust in his eyes. Was this a trick?*
"How do you know my name?!"

*The small, hopeful smile that had been on her face slowly disappeared. Her face grew solemn and rather sad. Her brother didn't remember her. How best to drop the bomb on him? She figured a direct approach would be best although she gave Adonias a silent, pleading look, asking for him to listen to what she had to say before freaking out on her.*
"You are my brother...Adonias. My twin brother."
*Both Telarial and Adonias stood in stunned silence. It was so quiet, one could hear a needle drop. The lasting silence soon grew awkward as Telarial noticed Adonias's confused but pointed stare*

Telarial's expression, revealed when she removes her buy'ce, is enough for Faelan to know even before she removes his hand from his blaster that there will be no need for him to draw it; for whatever it is which has caused the shock in Telarial's tone and posture, it is evident to him from her eyes that it may not be a shock of the entirely unwelcome variety.
Motioning for Raine to accompany him, Faelan says, Let's give them a moment or two to themselves, and walks a polite distance away so that Telarial and the Mandalorian who seems to be known to her in some way even though he does not appear to know her can have some degree of privacy; though not so far that Faelan allows her from his sight in case his instincts are wrong where the threat level the Mandalorian male presents is concerned.
What are we to do with you then? Faelan asks Raine when they are sufficiently far enough way, his tone at once weary and proud; Raine has exhibited an uncanny ability to find trouble in the time she has been in his care, and yet there has always been some valid reason, often rooted in a sense of justice or fairness, for the scraps she engages in. With a brief chuckle, Faelan reaches down to ruffle Raine's hair as he says, I can't abide bullies either. Maybe next time, however, you should settle for extracting the bullied and leave the punishment for others to mete out. Not all problems can be solved with your fists Raine. Then again, Faelan sighs as he thinks of the Rodian he killed when it appeared Telarial was in danger, some problems do warrant a more . . . final solution. Chuckling, Faelan says, While you managed to avoid involving law enforcement, it seems I will not be so lucky. Hopefully, Faelan sighs as he uses specific eye and facial movements to open a comm channel to local law enforcement so that he can notify them of the fatal shooting he was involved in, we won't be tied up too long with red tape.

A'den and NCO arrived at the starport. A'den was nervously excited. He had never left Mandalore before. He did his best to hide his nervousness as he followed NCO to his ship.

I lead my ad through the port and set course for one of the used ship merchants. I'm looking for something relatively small. Preferably I'd find a decent light freighter, but I'd settle for a good scout vessel too. I was really looking for something with low crew requirements but could still make the trip with as few interruptions as possible. As we walked into a particularly reputable lot, by mando'ade standards, I surveyed the displayed models and found several suitable vessels. Highlighting my selections in my HUD, I then sent the data packet to A'den's HUD. He would see a slowly pulsing green triangle icon transposed over the ships in question, so long as they were in his field of view. When outside his field of view, they shrank to small green dots that slid around the edge of his HUD indicating which direction he should look to see the ship the icon was assigned too. Winking with either eye at the icon, would bring up the ships stock specs overlaid over his view, which could get confusing. Blinking at an icon would dim all other indicators and darken his face plate, giving the same data display at greater contrast and clarity; at the cost of situational awareness. Looking away from the ship would clear the stock performance list from the HUD display, in both cases.
Three different ships stood out to me, as I considered my requirements. The nearest is a HT-2200. It is a tad large for my purposes, but CEC makes good reliable ships. Plus, it would be an excellent platform for A'den to learn to fly in. That said, it would be a tad slower than I'd like and might draw unwanted attention as we got out past the more civilized parts of the galaxy. The second ship is a Z-10. It's an older design, but well liked and cared for by it's owners. This would be a slightly faster ship, at the cost of space and defenses. The last, the fastest and most maneuverable of the group, but also the most lightly armed, a Deep-X Explorer sat in a corner lot, waiting for inspection.
I almost ask A'den to pick a ship, but stop just before voicing my request. Instead, I step back, waving him forward, to look through the array of ships on the lot. He'd been given three recommendations, and I wanted to see what he'd do with the information. I notice a vod walking over, in solid black beskar'gam, I suspect he's a salesman, but he's a few paces from common greeting distance so I wait for A'den's reaction, ready to help the lad if he needs it, but hoping he'll take the initiative and handle things himself.

"I don't believe you."
*Adonias replied while straightening up although his expression currently betrayed his belief to the contrary. He couldn't deny that the Force whispered the truth of her words. He was still confused. Why couldn't he remember her? As if sensing his thoughts, Telarial chose that moment to ask him the question that had plagued him for the past 10 years.*

*Telarial took a few steps forward to close the distance between herself and her brother but paused mid-way when she sensed that her brother remained guarded.*
"What do you remember? Of your past?"

*Adonias furrowed his brows, a facial expression so familiar that had Faelan been looking, the elder Mando'ade would surely have seen Telarial's likeness shining within that simple look*
"I...not much. All I remember is waking up in a pirate's cargo hold, en-route to a slave auction. I have no memory of...ever having a..."
*He swallowed the thick lump in his throat and softly muttered his last word.*
"...Family."

*Telarial nodded slowly and continued to converse with her brother in Galactic Basic. Considering how long he'd been away from Mandalore, it was easy to understand why he was unfamiliar with the Mando'a language.*
"Adonias...you were kidnapped by those pirates at the age of 7. Ten years ago, those soulless monsters, raided our family farm. They savagely beat our father, assaulted our mother, locked them within our home and burned our dwelling to the ground while they were still inside. I escaped...you didn't. I'm so sorry."
*Using her good arm, she reached a hand out and placed it on his shoulder. He stood a couple inches taller than her. Their eyes locked and Telarial felt her brother visibly tremble, most likely overcome with a sea of emotion and most likely still shell-shocked with the knowledge that he had a living, breathing relative standing right in front of him. His twin sister no less! Her next words were soft and her eyes reflected the depths of her love for him.*
"There hasn't been a day that I haven't thought of you, Adonias. I've searched for you since that day but it's a large galaxy. I never thought I'd see you again...I thought....you were dead. Mandalore is your homeworld. If you have no where else to go...take solace with the knowledge that this is your home. Even though you've lost your memory, you are a true son of Mandalore. It's a heritage that is your right to reclaim. See Faelan over there?"
*She pointed to where Faelan was currently talking to Raine*
"He is helping me train to pass my verd'goten...the Mandalorian rite of passage. After our parents died, Arkillian, our father's friend, cared for me until his death at the hands of a Jedi when I was 13. For 4 years I've been on my own. I'm willing to guess that you've been on your own a lot longer...am I right?"

*Adonias remained silent but attentive. Even after Telarial told him more of his past, he still couldn't recall any of it. He shook his head with a sad frown.*
"I'm sorry. Telarial, I can't remember!"
*His eyebrows shot into his hairline at his twin sister's next statement*

*Telarial smiled as she gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze before letting him go*
"You just remembered my name. That's a start."
*She grew serious*
"I understand that this is all a lot to take in. As much as I wish you would stay a while...I understand if you feel the need to go and search for the answers yourself. Just know that I will always be here for you, should you need me. Here...take down these coordinates. Should the day finally come when you are ready to reclaim your lost identity as well as your heritage, you can find me here. I'm sure my new guardian wouldn't mind your visit. Speaking of which, you have to at least meet Faelan before you leave."
*She grabbed her brother by the arm and dragged him with her over near Faelan but waited patiently for Faelan to finish his conversation with Raine before introducing her brother. She noticed Adonias's nervous fidgeting as he shifted his feet. She smiled and gave him a playful elbow in the ribs.*
"He's nice. He won't bite, I promise."

*Raine had no idea what was going on between the girl that was with Faelan and Adonias, but it confused her to say the least. Shaking her head some, she followed after Faelan. She wasn't entirely sure what he was going to say, but she hoped that it wasn't to terrible. Surprisingly he wasn't mad at her like she thought he would be. Instead he gave her advice on howto handle her next fight, if there was one. The only bad part of the whole thing was when he ruffled her hair. She gave a small laugh and tried to fix her hair, not that it really mattered to her. She was about to ask about the Rodian when Faelan mentioned calling the authorities and the fact he might get in trouble for what happened. Her attention, however, was pulled away from Faelan to the other woman and Adonias as the approached. Almost instinctively, Raine made a sidestep closer to Faelan and slightly behind him just in case anything happened.*

*Telarial noticed Raine's apprehension at their approach. She smiled down at her*
"Hi! You must be Raine. Faelan and I are friends. This is my twin brother, Adonias. He's harmless...I promise."
*Telarial winked at her with a reassuring smile. She took notice of Faelan's call to the authorities and grimaced, her eyes darting to the dead Rodian a few yards away from them.*
"Ah...yes...that uhh...mess over there...was my fault. Faelan thought I was about to die so he stepped in. I had that creep on the ropes..."
*She noticed Raine's injuries no doubt from a recent fight. Telarial's face was bruised, her lip still slightly bleeding, and her shoulder wound dressed. She gave the young girl a smile.*
"Looks like I'm not the only one who got into a fight today, huh?"

A'den was overwhelmed initially as the data flooded his HUD. He quickly realized his eye movements controlled what information he viewed. After carefully considering the highlighted ships, A'den settles on the Deep-X Explorer. He points to it.
That one. It is fast and nimble. Good for getting in and out quickly.

*Raine gave a small nod when Telarial asked who she was. She wasn't entirely sure about the woman's energetic sounding demeanor or what she had to do with the dead Rodian. Regardless, if Faelan trusted her, than she must not have been that bad. When Telarial mentioned that both of them had been in a fight, a ghost of a smile appeared on Raines face.* "I tend to get into fights more than I should. Or more than Faelan would like me to anyway."

*Telarial gave a short laugh and then bent down and spoke in a conspiratorial whisper in the hopes that Faelan wouldn't overhear her*
"If that's the case then I'm sure it's due in large part to his overprotectiveness of you. I think that deep down, Faelan is a softie. Like an ewok plush toy...Just filled with fluff."
*Telarial stood back up and gestured to the dead Rodian.*
"The fight I got into with that scum was justified. He tried to claim my ship as his, saying that I cheated in a pazaack game. The fight went rather well...Until he shot me! He had me pinned under his boot with a blaster aimed at my head. I used a force trick to pull the battery pack out of his blaster. Faelan killed him because he thought I was going to die."
*She winked at Raine, forgetting to lower her voice.*
"What did I tell you? Like an overprotective mother ewok."
*She snickered softly, the notion that Faelan might have overheard her escaping her notice.*

*Raine laughed some at Telarials comment about Faelan. She couldn't quite imagine Faelan being like a cuddly Ewok, but the imagery did amuse her. Her eyes glanced over at the dead Rodian when Telarial began to explain what happened. Raines attention quickly snapped back to the young woman when she mentioned being able to use the force. Raine couldn't believe it, twice in one day she had run into a force user. She wasn't sure if this was good or bad luck. Being forced sensitive was something she told no one about, not even Faelan. Almost cautiously, she sidestepped towards Faelan till.she was almost pressed up against him.* "You're...you're force sensitive? Like..a jedi...or something?"
