Upon reaching Lothal, Luke saw many similarities between it and Tatooine, but this one at least had grass. "The question is where do we start R2? I have never been very good at sensing what people are thinking, at least not where the past is concerned. But I will draw unwanted attention to myself if I go in there saying I am looking for a guy named Kanan."
R2 whistled and clicked for a second and then Luke replied "Yeah I guess its not really unwanted attention if I get the guy I am looking for to notice me. Alright R2, why don't you pick some place for us to start, since you got it all figured out." Minutes later, Luke sort of regretted that decision when R2 picked the roughest bar in town for him to try.
"You sure about this R2? I mean why would a Jedi be in there?" R2 started whistling and clicking again and once again Luke replied "Yeah I guess we could at least meet someone who knows him. Okay, but if I die, Leia is going to kill you." Luke entered the bar alone, since of course like on Tatooine they didn't serve R2's kind. There were so many people and creatures in the bar, Luke didn't know where to start. He went and sat in the corner where he could see practically everyone and where he could reach out with the force without looking too weird while doing so.
He always had trouble trusting his instincts, it was easier to judge people by how they looked, not by how they truly were, or at least how his instincts said they were. He surveyed the room with his eyes, though in actuality he blinded himself to what he saw, and rather looked with the force. When his gaze repeatedly fell to a dark corner in the back, he knew that the force was trying to lead him, to tell him something.
Looking now with his eyes, he saw a creature about the height of Chewie nursing a cup of who knows what. He saw something he had seen only once or twice on Tatooine and only a few handfuls since leaving there, a Lasat. Luke took a deep breath and headed in his direction. Upon reaching the Lasat's table he said "Mind if I take a seat?"
The Lasat gave him a withering look and said "If you must." Luke sat across from him, thinking how next to this Lasat, Chewie looked cuddly. "I am looking for someone named Kanan Jarrus ever heard of him?" Recognition flashed across the Lasat's face before he hid his reaction and said "Never heard of him." "You sure? I really need to find him or at least what has happened to him." The Lasat growled low and said "I just told you I never heard of him. Now leave me alone before I decide to be unfriendly."
"Okay, okay I'm going. Thanks for the help." Luke said as he stood. He headed outside to where R2 was waiting, ready to follow the Lasat when he came out. R2 and him didn't have long to wait before the Lasat came out accompanied by a Twi'lek. "You say he was looking for Kanan. Are you sure Zeb?" "Sure I'm sure, think I would bother you if I wasn't sure Hera?" "Why would he be looking for Kanan?"
"Who knows, maybe Ezra sent him." "I hope you are wrong Zeb." "So do I." That was the last Luke heard before they moved out of earshot. "Okay R2, I am going to follow them. If I get into trouble or I don't get back to you by sunset tomorrow call Hans and Leia."
R2 whistled shortly, to which Luke said "I'll be careful, now I have to go before I lose them. Stay with the ship in case I need a fast ride out of here." With that Luke headed off in the direction of the ones called Zeb and Hera.
