She followed them for about four hours before she was noticed, or so she thought, it was finally back at the cantina that she was confronted by the ex jedi.
"Why are you following us?" she asked, her hand ready on her blaster.
Ellsia raised an eyebrow, "Have I changed that much that you don't recognise me General Ackard? or is it that you choose not to remember?"
Caitlyn looked at her suspiciously, "Should I remember you?"
A fair question, Ellsia had not stood out all that much during the war but as she was constantly around the woman...
"I see that in your travels you have chosen to forget as well, a wise choice."
The young man that was with Caitlyn was starting to get impatient,
"Look, are you going to answer the question or not because we're kinda in a hurry."
Ellsia looked at him cooly, "My name is Ellsia if you must know," she turned back to Caitlyn,
"And I served with you during the war." Caitlyn's eyes flickered,
"That still doesn't explain why you were following us," butted in the young man.
"Atton, let me handle this," murmered Caitlyn but looked at Ellsia expectantly.
"I was following you because I heard that you were the cause of the death of Peragus...the death of Telos."
"Hey lady, Telos was already a dead, you can't bring the dead back to life."
"Atton!"
Caitlyn glared at him and Ellsia chose to ignore him, "This is my home," she said through gritted teeth, "And I will not see it be lost again!"
Caitlyn's eyes softened, "Jedi don't have home's Ellsia."
Atton choked on the Juma he had been drinking and looked at Ellsia surprised, "You, are a jedi?"
It was true she didn't look much the part with her unkempt appearance but then again, she wasn't one.
"I am no longer a jedi," she said to him and looked Caitlyn straight in the eyes,
"And neither are you."
Caitlyn sat her down and explained all that had happened at Peragus, how the sith had come looking for her and that everyone had been killed by a homocidal droid.
"We are trying to remedy what we have done," she said, "Because there is no doubt that we were part of the reason for the planets destruction, but to find an alternate fuel source we need to find our ship first."
She explained that the Ithorians had offered to help and had a shuttle ready for them to take to the planets surface.
"The Ebon Hawk has not left the atmosphere as far as we know so we need to go and find it before we do anything else."
The old woman in Caitlyn's company, Kreia as she had been introduced, had said nothing throughout the whole encounter, it unnerved Ellsia as she knew she was being watched.
"Well, if that's the case i'm coming with you."
"What!-"
Atton began to protest but Caitlyn silenced him with a look, Ellsia smiled remembering how that same look had silenced many others.
"I want to help you find another fuel source for Telos, I am still an apt fighter, even without my saber."
"If that is what you wish then you may come."
Atton was glowering at her, it seemed he did not like this plan.
"The Ithorians said we could use the shuttle when we are ready and now seems as good a time as any."
