Hello Alek! How are you on this fine day?
Hmm, more happier than usual, aren't we?
Well, I have no reason not to be! Finally, after all this time someone talke, even before I said anything! Progress, huh?
Who was that?
Oh, some Jedi asked how do I find my life as a Republic soldier.
And you are happy because you had a conversation with a Jedi?
After almost two weeks of utter silence around me, well, I appreciate anything I got.
I guess, though I myself don't mind loneliness… Anyway, what did you say? Are you content with your life?
Kinda. It isn't the type of thing I would choose if I had more options, but I can live with that. Hopefully I can earn enough money to retire in a few years and take on some quiet and peaceful job – maybe as a profesor at the university? I like discussing and debating. And my friend L'Kaam was always saying that I'm really charismatic and I change other's opinions with such an incredible ease.
Hmm. If you live long enough.
That was kind of harsh, you know?
But true.
… Yeah.
Anyway, did this Jedi ask you more?
Nah, she just started to recite Republic army's advertisment about honor, glory, safety that we gain by fighting with Republic's enemies. After that she strongly recommended me to stay with the Republic as long as possible. And then she left. Huh. I guess Jedi are just weird like that. I have to admit, I can't blame you for your coldness towards them if they behave like that all the time.
That is one way to name that…
You mean your dislike of Jedi or their actions?
My opinion on them. But, let's not talk about them for now, shall we?
Certainly! How about you, any news on your latest assignment?
It's moving forward. I'm pretty sure I can finalize it in the maximum of one week.
Wow, congratulations, Alek! You really are an expert, aren't you?
I like to think of myself like that, thank you.
Good luck, then! Though, given your confidence, I'm sure everything will be okay.
I hope so, too, Drant. I hope so…
