The jedi woman finally seemed to focus on Jawa and seemed to be troubled.

"I'm sorry. I was quite distracted before. What are you doing hear? It isn't safe. You should go home right away." the woman said as she seemed to be looking around the room alarmed.  Then the woman put her finger to her lips and pulled out her light sword.

Jawa crawled behind the pillar he was leaning against and scurried between some crates in the direction of the back room he had entered through; trying hard not be be seen.

Val appeared beside the young person hiding behind a pillar, one of his blasters in hand. "She is safe enough boy." Val eyed him curiously before holstering his blaster and walking toward Shandra. Listening to her relate the story of what had just happened, Val accepted it as fact and thought about what to do next.

"More Jedi falling prey to temptation of easy money and a life with more than service. A common problem, now especially what with our very low level of popularity ..." Val shook his head. He stood a respectful distance from Garrit's body, waiting to see what Shandra wanted to do from here. "Moving a body through the streets is not going to be an easy thing. Perhaps we should call the authorities and allow them to deal with this for now?"

The man in the long coat suddenly appeared beside him with a big blaster in his hand startled Jawa.  "Time to go" he said to himself and slunk behind a couple of crates, trying to make himself invisible as he headed for the broken window.   The man in the coat was talking to the Jedi so maybe he could escape before they noticed he was gone.

Shandra  felt like she had been hit by a giant wave in the force. She had been right there. She had felt the life leave his body. She tried to think clearly and respond to Val.

"You're right. We should call the authorities. They'll know what to do. They'll take his body back to the Order for a proper ceremony. I should bring his sabers, though. The Order will want it and I don't want it to be stolen." Shandra began searching Garrit's body for the two lightsaber hilts. "I still remember when he made it. He worked on the design for hours. They both had lovely curved hilts, and he even figured out how to etch the same Pazaak card design into the hilts that Master Kraylo had etched onto his saber. That's odd. I can't find either of his lightsabers. Why would he have come here unarmed?" Shandra stood up and straightened her robes. Then she remembered the youngling she had encountered earlier.

"Val, there was a youngling here. I don't know what he was doing here, but we should make sure he's alright." Then Shandra called out to the youngling "Hello, youngling, I'm sorry I don't know your name. Are you alright? Forgive me if I startled you. My name is Shandra Ivari and this is Val Gith. It's getting rather late for younglings to be out. Would you like us to escort you home?"

Val turned and pointed at where the youngling had been. "He is right th..." Val noticed he was pointing at an empty bit of space where the youngling no longer was. He hadn't even noticed the youngling wander off. "Well, he was there," Val said with a shrug. "What? You think that little guy stole that one's lightsaber?"

"No, I don't think so. I didn't notice that he was here until he spoke to me. He could easily have gotten away. Why would he announce his presence if he was guilty of theft? I just hope he's alright. I don't know if he was here during the fight, and I don't know if he was hurt." Shandra replied. She walked toward the area where she had last sensed the youngling trying to sense where he had gone. If he was still nearby she might be able to feel him still.

[OOC: I hope the lightsaber thing was a toss.  I'm taking it as one.  If not, ping me and we'll adjust]

Jawa made it to the back room with the broken window.  Once out of sight of the main room, he stood and moved quickly, but silently to the window and slithered out.  As he was leaving he heard the jedi woman call out to him.  She called him a youngling and offered to escort him home.  Then he heard the big man with the bigger blaster say something that made him slither faster.

"... that little guy stole that one's lightsaber?"  Oops!

Jawa hit the ground toes first and moved 30 meters down the alley and slid behind a trash container.  He paused for a few seconds to catch his breath.  He reached in his shirt and felt the slender cylinder he had stuck there a few moments ago.  As he had been crawling out of the main room and slithering between two crates, his hand had come down on a warm, metallic cylinder.  Without even thinking about it he had picked it up and quickly stuck it in his shirt without even slowing his slither towards the exit.  He hadn't even known what it was.  It was just there and he grabbed it.

They called it a "lightsaber" he muttered.  He guessed it was one of the jedi light swords he had seen.  He couldn't wait to take a closer look at it.  But right now he knew he needed to move.  It wouldn't take them long to figure out he wasn't still in the warehouse.  He peered out from between the trash receptacle and a couple of empty crates in preparation to scamper away.  As he did, he saw the shadow man again up the alley back the way he had come.  "Pooduu!", he muttered to himself.  He dropped back down behind the trash receptacle again and slowly let out his breath.  What do I do now?

Shandra felt the youngling in an alley nearby. There was a man standing there with him. Something felt odd about him.

"He's over here Val. There's someone with him. Hurry, he might be in trouble." Shandra said.

Shandra stepped out into the alley and called out to the man who was standing there.

"Who are you and what is your business here?"

"I could ask the same thing of you, Consular Ivari. This is an unusual place for a Jedi diplomat to be lurking." The man said.

"How do you know my name?" Shandra asked preparing to activate the two blades of her lightsaber.

"That won't be necessary I assure you. I am Master Albar Brin. I was sent here by The Order on a special investigation. I know a great many things about you, Consular." Master Brin said

"What have I to do with your investigation, Master Brin?" Shandra asked

"Maybe nothing, maybe everything. Only time will tell. Good evening until we meet again."

Master Brin Force leaped onto the top of the lid of the trash receptacle and pushed off onto a nearby rooftop. Shandra could sense him running along the rooftops above her. She turned to the trash receptacle where she could sense the youngling hiding.

"It's alright. You can come out now. We won't hurt you. Are you alright?"

The shadow man had apparently seen Jawa because he started moving towards his hiding place.  Its movements were slow, cautious and cat-like. What am I doing here! he screamed to himself.  Jawa hope for some advice from the quiet voices but heard none.  Just like them to get him into a jam then abandon him.

As the shadow man drew near his hiding place Jawa pulled the light saber out of his shirt.  He had no idea what do to with it but he figured it would do him more good in his hand than in his shirt.  As he held it, he realized he didn't even know how to make the blade come out of it. Maybe I can throw it at him, Jawa muttered to himself with disgust.

Just as the shadow man was nearly on him, Lady Jedi and Bigger Blaster came out of the warehouse.  They saw the shadow and called out to him.

"Who are you and what is your business here?" Lady Jedi demanded as she approached him.

"I could ask the same thing of you, Consular Ivari. This is an unusual place for a Jedi diplomat to be lurking." The shadow man replied with authority.  He reminded Jawa of the way security scum spoke to people like himself when they stopped them for questioning.

"How do you know my name?" Lady Jedi responded, clearly agitated herself.  It was obvious to Jawa they were not friends.  A corner of Jawa's mind was telling him he should be using this opportunity to make his escape.  But he found himself fascinated by the exchange between Lady Jedi and the shadow man.  Also, Bigger Blaster was keeping a pretty close eye on him too. 

Lady Jedi looked ready to cut the shadow man in half, yet the shadow man was standing relaxed like he was standing on a street corner waiting for a hover transport.

"That won't be necessary I assure you. I am Master Albar Brin. I was sent here by The Order on a special investigation. I know a great many things about you, Consular." The shadow master Brin replied with a tone that suggested he was beyond reproach.

"What have I to do with your investigation, Master Brin?" Lady Jedi asked.  Her tone was still guarded but the edge was gone from her voice.  Her hand holding her lightsaber lowered a bit.   

"Maybe nothing, maybe everything. Only time will tell,"  Master Shadow replied. "Good evening until we meet again."  In the blink of an eye, the Shadow Master had leapt up on the trash receptacle and bounded away.

Lady Jedi glided slowly over to where Jawa was hiding.  Her lightsaber was no longer in her hand. "It's alright. You can come out now. We won't hurt you. Are you alright?" she said to him gently.

Jawa slowly stood up and stepped out from behind the trash receptacle.  He held out the lightsaber in front of him on his open palm. 

"Don't cut me in half, Lady Jedi," Jawa said with sincerity.  "I didn't steal it.  I found it."

Shandra took the lightsaber from the youngling. She ran her hand along the straight, smooth hilt. This wasn't one of Garrit's sabers, or at least it wasn't one of the sabers he made when he was a Padawan. Perhaps he made a new one, but why? he had loved those lightsabers.

"I have no intention of cutting you in half, Younlging. Whatever gave you that idea? Thank you for holding this. I'm sure someone would have taken it if you had not kept it safe.  Tell me, did you see any others with it?  Also, what is your name?" Shandra asked the youngling

Jawa watched cautiously as Lady Jedi took the lightsaber from him and examined it.

"I have no intention of cutting you in half, Youngling. Whatever gave you that idea?" she said kindly.  But without waiting for an answer, she continued.  "Thank you for holding this. I'm sure someone would have taken it if you had not kept it safe.  Tell me, did you see any others with it?  Also, what is your name?"

"I saw a Jedi cut a man in half once." Jawa replied.  "I don't want to be cut in half.  I found that as I was crawling out.  I don't know who's it is.  If you don't want it, can I have it?  I've never had one before but I think Juma used to have one!"

"I'm sorry you witnessed such violence. Sometimes Jedi need to do unfortunate things in order to protect innocent people. Although I've begun to wonder how much of what we do is really necessary. Well, enough of that. As for the lightsaber, I should probably..." Shandra was about to refuse the youngling's request, but she paused.

She thought it would be dangerous to give a lightsaber to an untrained youngling. However, something inside her told her it would be the right thing to do. She turned over the hilt in her hand and ignited the blade lighting the alley with a violet glow.

"That is how you turn it on. This is not a toy. It is a very dangerous weapon" Shandra turned off the blade and handed the hilt to the youngling. "Garrit is dead, and whatever may have happened to his previous lightsabers he no longer has a use for this one. You may have it. I would like to take you to someone who can teach you how to use it, though. Care for it well, and maybe one day I'll show you how to build your own."

Val stood there as Shandra consoled the youngling, but could not stand by as she handed the lightsaber to a completely untrained child. Val extended his hand and Force pulled the saber out of Jawa's hands after Shandra handed it to him.

"I may not be associated with the Jedi Order anymore but I cannot stand idly by as you hand over a deadly, valuable, rare, and often illegally sought after weapon to a completely untrained child. Sorry Shandra. I will turn this in to the Jedi somehow or else it will remain safely on my ship in my weapons lockup." Val clipped the saber to his belt beneath his duster and crossed his arms in front of himself, expecting Shandra to argue but the issue was not really up for discussion in his head.

Val's Force sense was limited, more focused on sensing dark side taint than anything else, but he could sense some Force connection on the boy. "If you really want to do the boy a favour put him on a shuttle to Tython where he will be trained and then someday he can make his own. Every Jedi should make his or her own saber themselves, not take one off a corpse."

Jawa's eyes went wide with amazement when Lady Jedi said he could have the lightsaber!  He watched her closely when she demonstrated out to turn it on and was startled at the surprisingly loud "SSSSHHHWWWWWWYYYYYYNNNNNNNNNNNN" sound it made as the one meter beam of light leapt from the hilt of the saber then glowed a brilliant violet color.  He could not just hear, but feel the low humming, pulsing noise it made.  It was beautiful yet Jawa knew how deadly it could be.  It was so COOL!

Lady Jedi then turned it off and held it out to him.  Hardly believing his fortune, he reached out and took the lightsaber.  As he looked closely at it to locate the on switches it suddenly flew from his hand.  He turned and watched it as it sped through the air directly into Bigger Blaster's outstretched hand.  Jawa was so stunned and outraged that he didn't even here what Bigger Blaster was saying.

"THAT'S NO FAIR!!  THAT'S MINE!!  I FOUND IT!!"  Jawa screamed at him!  "SHE SAID I COULD HAVE IT!!"

Shandra placed her hands on the youngling's shoulders to calm him and turned to Val.

" Val Gith, what sort of blast-brained idiot do you think I am? I said I would give the youngling the lightsaber. I did not say I would leave him alone with it. Of course I'm going to bring him to Tython. He's a bit old to enter an inititiate clan, but I'm hoping the Order will let me take him on as a Padawan when they see his potential."

Val's face remained implacable as Shandra chastised him, ignoring the youngling's outburst. "He can have a lightsaber when he makes his own. Firstly, I do not feel comfortable having it in his possession especially since you just showed him how to turn it on. Can you imagine the damage he could cause to himself or others in just a few seconds? Secondly, stealing the saber from a recently deceased Jedi is both dishonourable and distasteful." Val glared at the kid with a neutral expression on his face. "If you want one of these you are going to have to make your own little one. That is the way things work with these. So quiet down."

Val was tired of this discussion already. Attempting to change the topic, Val looked at Shandra and asked, "Did you know that Master Brin? He seemed to know a lot about you. Kind of a slippery sort." This last bit was said sort of to himself as he mused over another person employing stealth through the Force. Not many people practiced this side of the Force, preferring to practice more "honourable" sides of the Force such as straight up melee combat or more diplomatic practices.

He shrugged, not really caring at the moment. "You need to call the authorities and I will disappear for a while. I wasn't even here anyways and talking to Republic authorities without any ID will just cause me problems. I will stand guard until they arrive and you two are assured to be safe but I will do so from a distance and unseen."

Shandra crossed her arms and faced Val. Her eyebrows arched in frustration letting him know that she would be glaring at him if she had eyes. When he finished talking about calling the authorities she sighed and shook her head.

"No, I don't know Master Brin. That causes me a bit of concern. Aside from our little adventure on Ord Mantell I am not usually involved in matters that warrant the intervention of an Investigator. Something did not feel right about him. Anyway, you're right. We ought to call the authorities for now."

Shandra knelt down in front of the youngling so he was at mask level with her. Eye contact was never an issue among Miraluka, but she had learned that many races found it reassuring.

"I'm afraid Val is resolute about keeping the lightsaber. He can be very stubborn sometimes. However, he was correct about one thing. I can teach you to make your own soon, if you would like. In fact, I can teach you a great many things if you come with me. You seem to have a strong connection to the Force. Do you know what that means? We would have to ask your parents' permission, of course, but I would like to train you to be a Jedi like me and Va...like me."

Jawa was fuming at Bigger Blaster for stealing his lightsaber!  And now Lady Jedi was going let him!!  Without really thinking about it, he held up his hand and tried to make the lightsaber fly to him like Bigger Blaster had.  But nothing happened.

Lady Jedi was talking to him again but he barely understood her words at first.  "...In fact, I can teach you a great many things if you come with me. You seem to have a strong connection to the Force. Do you know what that means? We would have to ask your parents' permission, of course, but I would like to train you to be a Jedi like me and Va...like me." she said.

"I don't have any parents," Jawa replied.  "It's just me.  What is the force?" Jawa continued.

"The Force is an energy that flows through all living things.  Some lifeforms who are sensitive to the flow of the Force can sense it, manipulate it, and use it to do amazing things. The Force is what my race uses to see without any external eye structures, it allowed Master Brin to jump to the rooftop, and it is what Val to pull the saber from your hand without touching it. It can be used for good or for great evil. I believe you may be sensitive to the Force. I need to get things sorted out here first, but I would like to take you with me and teach you to use your gift to help others. Would you like to come with me and learn?" Shandra stood up and extended her hand to the youngling inviting him to come back into the warehouse with her .

While Shandra and Jawa and distracted were talking Val quietly wandered off and disappeared, taking up a guard position within a bit of a distance from Shandra to keep watch until she finished talking to the youngling and got in contact with the authorities. People might have heard the blaster fire and came to investigate so Val did not want anyone wandering into the warehouse and finding a few dead bodies.

From Shandra's conversation with the youngling Val realized that he no longer had the patience nor the will to take on a Padawan learner. He had been forced to try during his time on Yavin IV at the secret garrison there but he had only done it because it was part of his own training. All said and told he had had students for less than 4 years of his life and he was glad that part of his life was over and done with. It was fortunate for Jawa that Shandra had found him as Val most likely would have moved on and not noticed the child's affinity for the Force. Yet another Force adept that would have fallen between the cracks of this vast galaxy.

Val was amused that Jawa had tried to pull the saber back to himself in the same fashion that Val had taken it from him. Val had actually put a hand over it just in case it had moved, which it had not.
