Jaden felt the emotion pouring from Josu...she was hanging in there, he was barely able to stay with her himself. Jaquell looked curious as to what could have happened, they must have had blue faces as she decided best to hear later. "I got a table over here." She spoke normally as to keep the reunion happy. Jaden would keep it that way for a while, but he wondered if they owed it to Jaquell to tell her about what happened. "Thanks Jaq, can I get a fill on this," Jaden held up his flask. He turned his head to Josu and smiled. Jaden knew he'd need it later. Josu may wish to let Jaquell know the truth while they were there. He knew they'd need to talk to each other about it as well. He would live in these hours happily just like he did with her a year ago, the flask would help him in the days after. He sat at the table Jaquell gestured with her hand setting a pair of menu's down on the table. She grabbed the flask and sniffed it, "Tenra Liquor?" Jaden nodded approvingly.

Josu sat and glanced at the outside world. Through the glass. As Jaquell handed her old friend a menu, Josu just grinned and refused it, "I think you know what I want, hun." Jaquell couldn't hold back the bubbles of laughter that rose from her throat, "Gone a full year and you still have the same taste buds! Same for you Jaden?"

"You know it." Jaden felt his stomic rumble with hunger. "And maybe some bread sticks while we're waiting." Jadens words were mixed with laughter as he smiled. Jaquell wrote it down on her little note pad and retreated the back. They sat silent in the restaurant as a full house murmured around them. Jaden looked over to Josu, and his smile faded, then he stared down at the table. "I'll tell her if you want me to." His last glance spoke those words clearly, but they didn't need that right now. He looked up with glee, "So what kind of soup you getting?" --- Michaels eyes were sagging with exahaustion as the days events took their toll on him. His sketched design of his project were already finished...along with a number of suggested projects to go with it. He'd start building it tomorow, but his stomach was not going to wait much longer. He stood up and streched his leggs. As he gathered up his things he noticed Tallia was still there as well. He smiled and thought he'd go say hi...and if she knew where to eat.

"The usuall. Rylothian Turnip." (( Don't judge! I'm making sonething up and saying it is like our potatos!! So Potato soup XD)) Josu glanced at Jaden then lowered her eyes to her hands, folded on the table-top. "If your not ready to talk about it I won't pry," she proceded to start cracking her knuckles, a nervous habit she had developed to deal with stress when there was nothing else to do. Josu took a deep inhale of breath before meeting Jaden's ees straight on, fear wiped out of her mind and replaced by a feirce determination, "I would like to know what happened. That night. When you dissappeared, we looked for you, Drake and I. I- we were worried! Then we found you and... well..."
She didn't dare tell him that she couldn't, even back then, stand to loose him, that she searched harder then Drake had, had only 'killed' in self defence and didn't stop blaming herself every night for the loss of both of her true compannions. ~~ Tallia rubbed her eyes and stretched back in her chair, loving the feel of her joints popping back into a comfortable position. She had cross referanced every portrait she could think of with the film of the little girl and had still come up empty-handed. Her chocolate eyes danced up and over the com screen and to the face of the new Padawan, 'Well, at least it's not Jaden.' she thought to herself. She grinned and waved at the young man who seemed to have questions.

Jaden had replayed the night in question a thousand times in his head. Somehow, saying it outloud was beyond difficult if not sufficating. "I went out to get a drink that night..." The story came slow. "I was abducted..." He could barely get that out. He sighed, "Please, can I tell you later...I just got back, and I'm just starting to enjoy myself." As strong as he was, he was too weak to face his nightmare. Though he understood all too well, he'd have to tell her what exactly happened to him. -- Michael went to the table Tallia was sitting at with a smile. "So, guess I'm not the only book worm?" He chuckled as he observed her reading...and he had no idea what she was researching.

She tilted her head, considering him for a moment, then grinned, "Of course! I'm not going to forget to torture it out of you if I have too." ~~ Tallia shook her head and quickly corected the young man to her side, "Not so much a book worm as an obsessor. I came across a video file a while back and there is a child there that seems really familiar."

Jaden let out a sigh of relief, then chuckled at the bit of humor he got from her, even though the story was...Jadens dark story. "Thanks...if you really want to know," He put on his serious face. "Ask me when Michale is present, he's been asking me the same questions...and I can only tell it once." They were silent for a full 5 minutes. Till Jaquel came in with the bread sticks. "Food will be ready in few." Then she disappeared again. Jaden picked one up and ripped off a quick bite and let the flavor delay his hunger. "I will tell you one thing though...what you did..." He rubbed the mark on his chest beneath his attire. "what you had to do...I don't blame you in the least...I mean I almost killed you..." He looked up for second before leaning down on his arm. "I hurt you, I stabbed you,...and then I killed Drake." He let a tear drop down his cheek, which he quickly brushed away. "so again, I don't blame you for killing me." He had to cool off. "Excuse me." He stood up and moved for the restroom. --- Michael leaned over her shoulder and looked at the vid. It was paused on the character in question. It was a child Padawan. "Its a Twilliik...err...am I saying that right?"

Josu lifted a hand to stop her friend/ padawan out of some newly unearthed want , no need, for his companionship, but decided to let him go. He still probably needed time to readjust. ~~ Tallia grinned one of her, 'Are you really serious?' grinns, and replied, "Almost, It's Twi'ilek. You'ld better catch it quick because Master Drasoft, along with being... an old fashioned jedi, is not to fond of ignorance. Trust me on that." Tallia's Stomach growled slightly, "C'mon." she turned off her com and stood, "Let's go to the cafeteria. You must be hungry." She began to walk out of the Library with her arms folded over her head.

Jaden stood over the sink letting cold water drip from his chin. He gazed intently on his reflection, "What the hell is wrong with you." he cursed. His fist slammed into his reflection fracturing the glass. He backed up and took repeated long breaths. He looked at the fractured image of himself, disfigured. He lifted his hand and focused on the shattered glass and let the force flow through him. The shards went back in time, the glass healed as the pieces were frictionaly melded together. In 5 seconds the mirror was back to normal. Jaden looked at his hand, a shard had made a small cut on his knuckles and a small bit of blood dripped from the cut. He left the wound alone and put his back to the wall and meditated, trying to calm himself down. "Drake, help me..." ~~~ Michael grinned, Tallia just confirmed all of Jadens warnings about her, a jedi with a lack of maturity. "I'll try to work on that." He followed her out of the library and through the inner corridors. "So...Jaden...he's been gone some time right?"

Tallia glanced at Michael with her eye-brows raised, "Hm? Oh! Jaden!" She shrugged and continued walking. "Josu hasn't called for help so I'm not worried." She lowered her arms as the door to the cafeteria opened, letting the Jedi and padawan into the well-lit room. Indeviduals of many species filled the room with their presence and conversation. Tallis headed to the left into the line to get food. ~~ Josu sat at her table alone, steadily gazing at a bit of the table infront of her over folded hands. She couldn't help shake the feeling that Jaden was possibly getting himself into more trouble, that he was hurt. She cringed inwardly at that prospect as Jaquell walked up, "So, I noticed that Jadens not up to his normal spunk... and neither are you." The waitress sat infront of her friend and waited, "So? What's up?" Josu sighed and replied, "It's kind of a long story." She chuckled, emphasising her reluctance to talk about it. "Aww... c'mon!" Jaquell grinned and leaned forward in her seat, "I won't tell a soul!" There was something off about the grinn that the long time friend was giving Josu, but she brushed it off. Time can play tricks on the familiar, still, there seemed to be greed hidden in the contours of Jaquell's bow-shaped lips.

Michael looked at all of the different items for the picking along the lunch line following close behind Tallia. There was alot of clamor behind him but it was all the items to eat that caught his attention, and the ones that made him think "People eat that?". As they stopped to start serving themselves he said, "I'll stick with the stuff that's dead thank you." --- Jaden exited the restroom with smooth strides taking deep breaths. He felt a tense choking disturbance in the force. He peeked around the corner and found the source. Jaquell was sitting in his seat next to Josu. Dear God, she was asking the question, the damn question. He looked to his right at the bar as the bartender was attending to his drink. The waiter was just then capping off the flask. Jaden reached with the force and the flasked shot over into his hand leaving the bartender dubious. Jaden took a seat in a chair out of the sight of the two girls. With the training he had with the force, he could hear them over all the backround noise. He sipped the refilled drink and just listened

Josu looked Jaquell squarelly in the eye. There was something new dancing behind the violet irises, Josu just couldn't place what. Greed perhaps but, Jaquell was always so giving and hospitable... Then again, eight years can certainly change a person. What was floating around this humans head? The jedi sighed and rested her head between her hands, elbows on the table, "Jaquell, I'ld rather not talk about it." Was her voice shaking? It sounded to Josu as if her own voice were betraying her emotions. Jaquell pursed her lips and pouted, "Later then." The waitress gave Josu a small pat on the back and left to resume her duties. ~~ Tallia slaped Michaels shoulder with a clean spoon from her tray, "Don't knock it before you try it!" She places the spoon back on her tray, "Besides, what if you are working on a planet where it is rude not to eat something that may seem strange and foreign to you, but is realy part of their culture?" As if emphasizing this point, Tallia takes a healthy scoop of a slimy green substance and pours it onto her tray.

Michael grinned playfully at her and grabbed one of the orderves that was still crawling and held it between his fingers. "Tell you what...you actually eat that, right now, and I'll eat this little guy." Michael remembered he was talking to a Jedi, but he knew from his encounters with Tallia, she was at least 60% girl. As he said this 4 other Jedi began to watch the standoff. --- Jaden let out a long sigh of relief and capped his flask giving it a shake, he managed to only take maybe 2 sips. He pocketed his flask and walked over to the table, stopping behind Josu. He felt her emotions storming around her head, then felt his old impulsive way of getting her out of these kinds of moods come to mind. He put his left hand on her shoulder, and then brushed her cheek with his right hand. It was a short gesture as he moved to the side of her chair with his left hand resting on her shoulder still. "You ok?"

Josu quickly rubbed her brows to releive stress and looked up at Jaden with a warm smile. " Yeah I'm fine." ~~ Tallia studied Micheal intensly, "If I served this to myself," she gestured at the contents of her trey, "Don't you think I would eat it?" She grabbed a few more items and slapped the morsel in the padawans hand to his trey. "Eating contests are held at a table not in a line."

Jaden dropped into his seat, "Shouldn't our food be here soon." he quickly changed the subject. He grabbed the fork sitting on the napkin and started twirling it in his fingers. --- Michael grabbed all the extra items that Tallia had and followed her to a table, sat down his tray and picked up his fork and then placed himself in front of his food. He noticed the little critter try to run off his plate; his hand whipped up and down impaling the little bastard into the tray, which with the strength of his prosthetic arms, he pierced it leaving the bug twitching with its last few seconds of life. He looked up at Tallia and grinned, "Whoops."
