Osinia glowered at Seraphis. "It's Osinia, not Ochinya. I am not certain of any certain places to land, I think we just need to roam around until we see a good spot." Osinia began to sense the ship. Her thoughts were betraying her today, she tried usually to block out thoughts of her former love. Yet, today all she could think of were his deep blue eyes. She cursed the Jedi Council for making her feel such agony. "So, what exactly is your business on Tantooine, I mean it is a planet of smugglers and beggars, filled with bars. Why, in all the galaxy do you choose this planet for us to travel to?

"Yes, Osinia." Seraphis hadn't realized he didn't remember her name and should have questioned her to repeat it first. Regardless, her anger seemed to subside; or rather, it turned to a different topic. He still didn't know why she was having tremors and sweating earlier, or why her anger exploded so violently now, but he tried not to think of it as to avoid interrogating her. Seraphis agreed silently with what she said and turned to the right, landing his ship only a few miles in that direction by a small repression in the sandy ground. It seemed there was some kind of underground pavilion under the ground. Seraphis started clicking buttons and the ship set down on four metal feet extending from the bottom of the ship. The door opened soon as the engines turned off and Seraphis stood, his chair slipping back into it's storage area to his right, then Seraphis turned and exited the ship, beckoning for Osinia to follow. He stood at the base of his ship and reached out with his mind, pressing a small black button inside the ship by the control panel with his mind, starting the stealth system. The ship became invisible to the naked eye within seconds after Osinia had stepped off of it and Seraphis stood straight, letting his arms lay loosely at his sides. He looked down at Osinia and frowned out-of-sight. "This is a place I reside when I don't want to be found. We can hole up here until we have somewhere to go or we can go find somewhere to go. You are free to come and go, just don't bring anything back here. This place is secret."

A place to hide? Hmm, seemed like a good idea. Osinia began to notice that she was sweating, she hoped that Seraphis didn't notice it. This place was hardly secret, it was known across the galaxy, maybe he meant the place they were going was secret. Osinia was actually nervous about being here. What if someone noticed her? She was not in the mood to fight before she had seen if anyone had any information. She hoped Seraphis was wanting to stay out of bars, that would be the one place that she would more than likely be recognized. She followed Seraphis to their unknown destination, she hoped his ship would be protected. She lowered her head and attempted to shield herself behind Seraphis, he was quite large so she should be unseen unless someone was behind her, if that were the case she would know instantly. She then realized that she needed some sleep, she wasn't a fan of it, but it was essential to keep her on the top of her game. "How long before we rest? I need to be as alert as possible. I don't mean to rush. I also wondering if you can speak well, or if you would prefer that you only hear me speak in your mind?"

Seraphis turned his head to glance back at Osinia. His lips parted slowly, pulling apart in strands to present the fanged maw. The tongue licked around a little before he began moving his jaws under the skin of his face, unseen bones moving to speak, "I can talk, but my voice causes trouble." The sound was horrible, a deep guttural sound but with another tone as well reverberating from his innards, a high pitched squawking sound echoing the words the deep voice had spoken nanoseconds before. Seraphis closed his jaws again let his face seal back up again into a solid shield of skin. He turned his head back and thought on what she had said before about resting. He expanded his mind slightly and began to speak that way again.
"This is a small hut, as I call it. It's not very large but it can comfortably hold about five guests. You should be able to sleep well until we enter the cities. The villages are far from here." Tantooine had been a safe haven for Seraphis because he could meld into the crowds. His large and uncommon visage could easily pass with the wide range of beings there unnoticed. He was unaware, though, that Osinia would be noticed whether there was a crowd or not. "The door is on the left side of that square sticking up into the dirt. It's under a blanket. Make sure it's sealed well if you go in. I've got a few things to do on the ship."

Osinia was surprised to hear Seraphis' voice, she know understood why he chose to speak through telapathy. She was glad that she would have the opportunity to rest. She went to where Seraphis indicated and made sure to close the door behind her. She removed her cloak and let her long, dark brown hair fall, she left her eye mask on just in case there was sudden light in the room. She laid down and relaxed her body. She began to drift off. After a few moments, she began to dream. It was a dream she had been dreading. The man she loved appeared and was holding her and whispering sweet nothings into her ears. Then, the dream turned ugly, a faceless Jedi Knight appeared and ripped her lover away from her. She screamed as she watched the knight murder him. She screamed his name louder and louder. The next thing she knew, Seraphis burst in and woke her up by shaking her. She quickly stood up and started apologizing. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell, even the fear of the past affects the darkest of us. How much time have I been sleeping?"

Seraphis clobbered down into the dug-out and put one huge hand on Osinia's form, shaking her body with little pressure to wake her. She shot straight up quickly, standing by him in great speed. She started sputtering apologies then regained her composure, explaining away the dream as simply a fear of the past. The name she had spoken reverberated in Seraphis' head for several minutes before he decided again not to question her. In response, his mind linked again with hers and he told her, "You have been asleep for only a few hours. It is dark now. I have stored my findings from Korriban and I returned to a cantina in the closest village. An informant of mine says that a post has been set up on a planet near here for Jedi to visit frequently, though he couldn't tell me what planet it was. Either way, I don't like the Jedi being close to me. Those wandering the streets in town aren't that important, but when a regular patrol point set out here could mean trouble if we were spotted."

A cantina? Hmm, she wished that he would have been able to find out more information. It was good to know that there was at least a Jedi post planet nearby. "Indeed, it would be bad if we were spotted. Especially me. I have a history that has gotten many bounties on my head, we need to go ask around discreetly tomorrow. I need to find information fast. My past is starting to haunt me worse and worse everyday, and I am starting to lose my sanity." She reached out with her telepathy. You do know that I am Miraluka, right? And that I was once a Jedi Knight? Osinia figured it would be a good idea for her new companion to understand why she needed to have her revenge.

Miraluka? Seraphis thought, That would explain how she saw me in the dust cloud. Seraphis sat on a large thick-framed stool a few yards away and opened his mouth, slowly and sickly. He started speaking, keeping his voice low so that it was only a dull roar matched by a slight high-pitched sound similar to a cheese grater grinding against an already dull knife. "I was a Jedi. I did not stay long. They ignored me and cast me out. I ran away and they did not chase me. I avoid the Jedi now. Seraphis felt a twinge of regret. He had hidden from the Jedi for so long, thinking that they would just leave him alone, but apparently there was something far worse than being ignored for sixteen years going on with this woman. She had a pretty deep gash in her chest, and if you couldn't see it you were blatantly blind. Seraphis could see it. A part of his mind wanted to help, and a part of it feared the Jedi's power. In that moment he made his mind. He didn't fear them, he simply kept adopting the mind-set of fear. He did still respect their power though and would not directly accost them.
"Just how do you plan to deal with the Jedi, Osinia?"
