After the dinner, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were brought to the guest room and left to get ready for some well needed rest. Outside, the sun was sinking behind the water and making the ocean a deep copper and a scarlet. Obi-Wan didn't do much except kick off his boots and lay down on the sleep couch. Qui-Gon didn't do much better.

Soon, Redulia came into the room, still in the attire she had on during dinner, her blue eyes locked on Obi-Wan. "I thought maybe you would want to go on a walk with me." She said quietly. It was strange. On the hologram she was steady and confident, but now she was shy and quiet. "I would go alone, but my father said he didn't want me to go by myself."

Obi-Wan looked to Qui-Gon for approval and his Master nodded. So Obi-Wan slipped on his boots and walked up to Redulia before looking back over his shoulder at Qui-Gon. "I will be back soon."

"Don't get lost." Qui-Gon responded with a suttle grin. "I don't want to look for you."

"I won't." Obi-Wan assured before walking out with Redulia. They walked straight to the tubor-lift before going down to the streets and Obi-Wan followed her through the thinning streets. She had walked all the way to the ocean where she stood there looking over the edge. Wind blow back her blonde hair and her ocean blue eyes caught glimmering shims of yellow and red from the sunset as her skin was more golden looking than it's light and freckled appear in normal light.

He found himself standing next to her, the view was beyond what he had seen in a long time. The white crystal pillars and archs glimmered in gold and scarlet light with the now black water reflecting the sunset. Two moons were floating in the sky, one silver, the other a light tinted red.

He hadn't had the time to put everything together before he felt something warm take hold of his hand. He glanced down to see Redulia's slender and soft hand holding onto his cooler and stronger one. His cheek grew hot, but the light of the sunset hid it well.

"Redulia," He removed his hand. And she looked a little hurt. "I'm sorry, but I'm here on business."

She looked down. Then after a long moment, she as a small tear escaping as she choked on her words. "My boyfriend was one of the people who were killed." She admitted. "You and my Dario look so much alike. I'm sorry, I just..."

Understanding hit him like a heavy weight. She was simply trying to fill back what she lost. "I see. I'm sorry, but you know I must leave once my mission is done."

"You don't have to leave, you know." She told him quietly. "You could stay here."

Obi-Wan looked down and sighed, "It doesn't work like that, Redulia. I cannot leave them. They are like my family."

Before he could even stop her, she stood up taller and kissed him! Eyes wide, he stepped back as a hand touched his lips.

"I thought I had told you that I can't." He said calmly. Loosing his temper wouldn't get him anywhere.

"I know... I just..." She then really started to cry, although it more of quiet sobs, tears were running down her cheeks and her usually perfect blue eyes were red.

He touched her shoulder, a simple gesture to show that he didn't mean to hurt her feelings. He didn't know how far such a thing could go with someone like Redulia. She looked up sadly and met his eyes. For some reason, he was able to think a little clearer than earilier.

And now, he was able to see how out of character he and Qui-Gon had acted since they arrived. Well, Qui-Gon was usually a secluded man anyways, but he normally wasn't as quiet as he was. And Obi-Wan wasn't much a talker either on missions, that was usually what he left to his Master because of his sureness. But here, he had done most of the talking. He had told himself that it was because they requested for him personally, and not his Master, but was that really the reason?

There was also all of the happy smiles and bright eyes. He paused his thoughts and kept to that one part. Was it their eyes? They were human, right? They looked like it. But then how could it be their eyes? He didn't know, they were just so perfect that it was almost scary now that he was thinking about it with a clearer head.

But what about Tahl? She was uneffected from the hologram she played, she even noted that everyone who has had acted strangely after. But she... was blind! She can't see the eyes anyways so they had no hold on her! It couldn't be more stupidly obvious! Mace Windu, he saw the hologram and suddenly saw it as important to send Obi-Wan here, Qui-Gon had seen it and was all of the sudden more willing to go than before hand and quit questioning Windu's odd behaviour, and Obi-Wan himself had also seen it, and he felt he had to go and help them! That was it! Tahl seemed unconvinced of it's importance over other requests, and she had heard the hologram, but never actually seen it. She wasn't effected cause she hadn't been able to look at the eyes!

Involintarily, he stepped backwards. "You were controlling us."

Redulia looked down. "I saw no other way to bring you here. I knew you wouldn't come if I simply asked."

And that voice. It was always so perfect as well, but that wasn't why he had felt so strange. That wasn't why he was under their control. He found himself steeling himself, making his mind an unpenitrable fortrace. Then he pinned her to the wall. "I want answers. Now."

She sniffled. "My people were always stronger willed. We could bring anything under our influence, and when this killer was on the loose, none of us were sure we could bring the person down. So we had to bring the Jedi into our situation. I knew that you wouldn't listen to an unheard of planet in a very unexplored part of the universe, so I had to manipulate you so that you would."

"And how did you know my name? I never met you before in my life! And why would I be of use to you when they are so many others?" Obi-Wan interrogated.

"I- I had a vision, of you killing the killer! And everyone was thankful, they were cheering your name! I knew I had to find you!" She exclaimed.

He gripped her wrists a little tighter. "And what about Qui-Gon? Everyone I've seen was surprised to see him with me. What did you tell them?

"He- was not in my vision! And so I told them that it was you alone!" Then she looked up into his eyes, the whites pearly again. "But you do not want to kill me. And you want to let me go."

His breathing was ragged as he forced the voice that lingered out so he could keep in control. "No. I'm still not done with you."

"Yes you are."

"No." He looked at something else than her eyes, the wall her forehead her cheek, something else. As long as it wasn't her eyes.

"It's too late." She suddenly sighed.

"It's too late for what?" Obi-Wan growled as he pressed her to the wall tighter. But then he saw Qui-Gon battered and bruised on the floor and the room a mess. "No. Qui-Gon!"

He let go and started running, ignoring the turbo-lift and leaping up the levels upon levels of stairs until he came to the appartment room where he kicked the door open and ran inside. Redulia was right behind him as he swung open the door to the guest room to find it torn apart! A sleep couch over turned and everything scattered and broken or ripped. The window was broken.

"Qui-Gon!" Obi-Wan called, but no answer. He wasn't in the room, he wasn't even in the appartment at all. He had left him and now he was missing! It was all his fault!
