Well, now you know what I changed. Ezra's parents ARE NOT DEAD. So, yay?
Seairra's pov
Seairra was suprised to see the expression on Ezra's face. It was of pure shock, too bad for him he looked hilarious. She bit back a laugh.
"Mom? Dad?" Why did he sound suprised, and not happy? She couldn't help but notice. See that we her problem she was good at understanding people's motives, but horrible at reacting to them.
"I thought you were dead h-how?" If he kept rambling like an idiot she was gonna slap him.
"We escaped, barely but we did." His father explained, his voice a mix of pride, relief, and slight fear. No not fear, worry. But for who?
"We heard your transmission and felt inspired." Ezra's mother continued the explanation. Her voice was like her husband's, but with slightly more worry.
Seairra felt compelled to jump in herself, but realised that it would be impolite. Ezra looked thrilled, and a bit scared. He was shaking, and for an awkward moment Seairra felt like she might want to give him a hug. All things considered, he might have been cute. Damn it, she shouldn't be thinking like this! Seairra hated when she got all weird and, well, she didn't quite have the words to describe it. Forcing her face into an emotionless state helped but didn't erase the feeling entirely.
Hopefully she could train her mind to rid herself of that feeling entirely, it was really annoying and mostly served to irritate her. Unless needed, Watchers were never to show fear or, most importantly, hopelessness. At least in public, otherwise it was ok. Facades couldn't be relied upon all the time it was bad for your health. Plus Watchers weren't jedi, but they still needed to show confidence, or nobody would rally behind them.
Sensing that she should leave, or else this might become too awkwardly emotional, she left. shutting to door behind her as she did so. She wanted to speak with Ezra in private, he might make a good future ally if she ever needed one. Leaving the dancing wampa behind, she headed towardsher favorite place, the main market. Illegal good were often bought and sold here, food was normally pretty cheap anyways, but slave trade was banned. Such atrocities were unheard of here, and hipocrisy was not a good way to build a society.
While grungy, the market was still a nice enough place. Most of the lighting was natural, and the streets, while made of dirt were not covered in trash. Stolen weapons, armor, provisions, and other such were the most common imports. Occasionally a kyber crystal or two would pop up, maybe even a full lightsaber and there would be some talk. The underground city was mostly self governing, and was definetly better than some other places in the outer rim.
"Um, hi there," Seairra jumped, standing next to her was Ezra. How in the name of the force did he keep finding her?" I got lost and I was wondering if..." He trailed off seemingly confused as to what to say.
"You need me to take you back to your parents." She finished his face, already red, became argueably redder.
"Well I, um, yeah." He seemed to have given up, she bit back a laugh."I also kinda wanted to talk with you."
"Well, sure what is it?" I bit my lip, his face had returned to it's normal shade, but he still looked worried. However, I did get a good laugh out of his expression.
"What are you? I mean, you're not a jedi, but you're not a inquisitor either."
"I'm a Watcher, I can use both sides of the force. Plus, I get this awesome weapon." I replied, acitvating Nightmare, Ezra winced, clearly he didn't like the look of it.
"Huh, I'm a Jedi."
"Aren't you a little young for that?"
"Ok, ok padawan but still." Jeez, he was a bit full of himself.
Out of nowhere alarms began to blare, the judging by the sound they were making, an unidentified ship had just flown overhead. My helmet, which I had taken off, I put back on.
"What was that!?" Ezra yelped.
"Unidentified ship flew overhead, probably just another fenroth, maybe a hialdus."
"A what?"
"Nevermind, just stay close."
So yeah, remember how I said that the fact there was some AU involved, and that it would'nt affect the story? I LIED, also Seairra might have a crush on Ezra, but she'll probably deny it. The next chapter should have more stuff on what's going down on the ghost. So, whee a new chapter.- ADSF
