Tishr nodded as Slayn spoke "Unfortunately, I don't really know any hunters, truth be know I'm at best a part-time bounty hunter." He paused unlatching the various sections of his helmet and removing it, "All my contacts are either in the republic military or planetary militias and I doubt they'll be of much help, Onderon is about the only place I could secure reinforcements and thats only here." Tishr gestured to slayn for him to stand up "Come on we can take the service tunnels under Iziz to my mother's home we can work out the details there, and I would assume you'd like to see Adara."

Slayn placed the palm of his hand on the chin of his helmet trying to think of anyone that was still alive that he knew. He continued to draw blanks then came to a conclusion that they'd have to search for other bounty hunters on their own. "Looks like were stuck here but it's worth it. Lets go before those bounty hunters and militia find us." he said waiting for Tishr to show him the way.

Tishr nodded before moving down the alley and through a half-dozen more turns before stopping next to a large hatch. He quickly strapped his helmet back on before looking back at slayn. "keep your eyes open we should only run into a few service droid or men if anything." he said as he struggled to lift the hatch. He flipped it all the way open before sliding down the ladder into the knee high water in the service hatches standing under one of the widely spaced lights as slayn came down before marching off though the long and twisting maze under the streets of Iziz.

Slayn picked up his rifle again and followed Tishr to the service hatch. When Tishr finally opened the hatch Slayn jumped down into a sewer type environment. Slayn glanced around to get a better feel for his surroundings. Disgusting water to his knee level, the water began to surge through the hole in his armor. Luckily it was only one leg cause the rest of his armor was air tight. "Alright lead the way Tish."

Tishr continued stalking down the tunnels twisting and turning for miles passing broken pipes and the occasional service droid. Tishr could remember being down here with is brother learning nearly ever nook and cranny in Iziz, trapped in his on thoughts he practically ran over the short man working on a severed water line. The man fell down his eyes as big as tea cups as he started scrabbling up to run away. Tishr quickly grabbed the man "Hey, come down, just get back to work" Tishr said sitting the man on the edge of a small ledge before gesturing back to slayn and moving onward taking another two turns before talking to slayn "He'll likly mention this when he gets out of here maybe before we'd better hurry" He finished jogging though the tunnel finally reaching a ladder and hatch quickly climbing out into a narrow alley with tall fences on either side and reaching down to help slayn out before opening a gate and walking into a small courtyard "We're here."

Once down in the service tunnels Slayn couldn't help but to want to throw up because of the profuse smell that came from the stagnate water. They had made there way down the long service tunnel Tishr leading the way of course. His first thought was when he got out of the situation he'd take a long vacation with Adara to a nice planet.
Slayn stayed close behind Tishr as the turned through various tunnels that lead to another what seemed like endless tunnels. Finally they bumped into a man who was fixing a busted pipe. The man began to run, but Tishr didn't let him stray to far. Tishr grabbed the man and told him to get back to work.
The man continued his job as he and Tishr would keep moving. There was no doubt in his mind that the man would tell some authority figure they were down there, but it was only a matter of time before they reached the exit.
Slayn was in awe as he looked around the large courtyard he couldn't believe his eyes. The courtyard was so big with many decorative things. A water fountain, statues, pillars that appeared to me ancient and very expensive.
"Wow Tish where are we?" he asked.

Tishr was busy unlatching his filter mask as stared around the courtyard. He managed to get it of taking in a big gulp of fresh air before turning to slayn and answering him. "This is one of my mother's homes though she has been saying with her cousin on the other side of town for the last month so she shouldn't be here right now." he said quickly walking down the wide path between the trees and columns up to the main building quickly pulling open the large, heavy door and entering beckoning slayn to follow as he wiped of his boots and walked into the house laying his weapon harness on a table near the door before removing his boots and sitting them next to the door "Come on slayn I'll get some one to clean and fix are armor, we've got some close that should fit you." He said climbing up the stairs and turning to walk into a room and pointing towards a large dresser "You should be able to find something that fits in there pack you armor down to the front after that." He said before walking away down the hall.

OOC: Sorry, there is not much to post. I really didn't know what to do. ^.^
The cold metal of the chair was soothing against her heated flesh, the thin cotton garments that the nice woman had provided for her hung loosely to her supple frame. Shoulder length raven locks lay wetly against the small of Adara’s back, the moisture creating a darkspot that crept its way toward the bottom of the shirt, a few strands framing her heart-shaped face, striking lapis lazuli oculars peering at the lighting of the ceiling absent mindedly. The door to the room that she occupied had not opened for more than a half hour, leaving the human woman alone for a rather long time.
Hopefully Slayn will return shortly, she thought to herself, combing her fingers through the silky strands of carotene that adorned her skull, a droplet of moisture traversing the broad line of her, what many call handsome, jaw. She herself had never been fiercely fond of how her face was, but many others had been, and the young woman guessed that was all one could hope for. Her own clothing lay upon a table nearby, freshly cleaned. Waiting was boring…

The long day that was plagued with the horrors of constant fighting had nearly come to an end. Now he had to face the on coming battles in his mind, thoughts that sparked his curiosity. Slayn walked toward the large house down the wide path. Lots of gardeners fixing the many flower bushes and any other auto-trophic life. With his arms swaying with him while he moved he took a deep breath, then exhaled.
For once in his young life he was scared to see Adara alone he didn't know what she'd say to him. He continued to follow Tishr in which he lead him into the large house. Slayn watched as Tishr placed his gun on the table next and take off his boots. Slayn did the same thing before entering the door on the right. Tishr told Slayn where he could place his things before he walked away.
Slayn began taking off his heavy armor starting with his helmet, chest plate, and finally leggings. Underneath he was wearing some sort of a tunic and cotton trousers. He walked over to the large steel dresser and opened the double doors revealing the small selection of clothing. Only one of the outfits looked it'll fit him it was an old military uniform, by the looks of the old uniform it was probably Tishr's old one.
He grabbed the uniform and began putting it on. The nice cotton slacks fit perfectly along with the button up shirt and matching jacket that went with it. Slayn walked over to a mirror to see how he looked and he found it intriguing to see how he looked in a military uniform.
Alright know I have to find her He thought to himself at the moment. Slayn walked out of the room into a large hallway that was plain and tacky. He didn't expect to see plain and tacky in a place of that sort, but he figured Tishr's mother didn't want to get too fancy. The hallway led to a spiral stair case that went up to the second and third floors. Slayn ran up the stairs as fast as he could stopping at the second floor. Straight ahead there was a small door well not entirely small, but smaller then the doors on the level floor. He walked over to the door and slowly opened it. To his surprise Adara sat in a chair within the guest room. How he knew Adara was in that room was weird but he found her and she was a beautiful site indeed.
Slayn slowly made his approach. she appeared to be zoned out maybe because of the boredom, but he wondered how fast she'd notice him.

He was coming, this presence moving through the house below, traversing its way upward. With her mind, she traced Slayn’s movement, could almost see him in her mind’s eye as he rounded the stair quickly, perhaps a little vigorously, and that confused Adara. The reason he was rushing so escaped her, or maybe she was forgetting something. The excitement of the earlier events had been overwhelming for the once enslaved human, and she did not remember much of what happened. Only that this kind man had rescued her, and befriended her.
As he entered the room, she turned to face him, turquoise eyes crinkled at the side, as a smile spread across her delicately bowed lips, the primrose of the flesh taunt with the fullness of the smile. Her lifted her dainty hand in greeting, the pale flesh ghostly in the dim lighting of the room, which flashed brightly for a second as the clear enamel of the woman’s nails captured the luminescence. Her bare feet met the floor gently, making a soft thudding noise as flesh met metal, her short and dainty frame lifting easily off of the stool, as if she flowed off of it.
“Hello Slayn, welcome back,” she said, peering up at the taller human through the veil of her obsidian locks.

Tishr pulled open the large metal dresser in his sparse nearly empty room. Tishr pulled it open digging out a clean white shirt, light grey pants, and a short crimson jacket; quickly putting them on before stacking his armor and Slayn's by the door and going into the main atrium. He went over to the vid-com unit on the wall before calling to Ordas a weapon merchant in the merchant's quarter. He smiled a little bit as the wide round face of the rolly polly human with a wide smile lept onto the screen.
"Tishr! How are you? How are you? it's been so long since you were at my shop last I have so many things to show you why I.." Ordas started jolly before tishr interrupted him knowing he could go on for hours if not interrupted.
"I'll be sure to look around while I'm at the shop I need a new suit of armor and some some customizations to it and I have a suit of armor I need repaired, I thought I'd give you a warning, also I'd appreciate it if you might keep things a little quieter than you normally do" Tishr said finally waiting for the sound of Ordas' deep voice to reply.
"I have just the thing for you I think, oh , and I'll be sure there are not any prying eyes about." he stopped a little before laughing "after all I wouldn't want them to see my good stock, after all"
Tishr nodded before replying "Good, good, I'll be there in an hour or so.." before trading normal pleasantries with Ordas and turning off the comm unit. After that He went up the stairs hunting for Slayn finally finding him and Adara in the second floor guest room. Tishr stopped at the door with Slayns back facing him before rapping on the door frame to get their attention.

The moment Adara got up out of her chair to greet Slayn was the moment that seemed like time had stopped. She was very beautiful even more so since the last time he'd seen her so many years ago, but something seemed a little different about her she didn't quite seem to remember him. This made Slayn very disappointed to know that the woman he cared about the most didn't even remember him. Though he had never truly told her how he felt, but still it would have been nice to see her recognize him even the slightest. Maybe he was being a little to selfish expecting too much especially when much has happened in the last few days. Cianan might of brain washed her or took away her memories.
"Hey Adara how are you feeling?" he asked with much concern. Before she could say anything Tishr came. Slayn turned around to see his friend in regular clothing. It was kind of weird to be resting after all the events that happened, but he was glad to be resting up. "Hey Tish any news?"

Tishr studied the pair for a minute before speaking "No news is the only good news." he said a little dryly and leaned up against the door frame before continuing "I'm going to go to the merchant quarter to get your armor repaired and mine replaced, while I'm there I'm going to go to the bounty office and see if I can't find out which bounty office issued it. If I'm really lucky I can find the issuer. I'm going to scratch up some of my contacts here and see what they can do while I'm at it." he paused shifting his feet "It'd be helpful if you could think of any crimes he committed if all else fails we might be able to convince the police to help us. I don't plan to be gone more than three or four, but I want you, both of you to stay here, while I doubt the Onderan Militia will bother you much excluding a few rouges like at the medic facility, but that won't stop bounty hunters, but they'd be stupid to come here if by some small chance they made a connection between you and me." He then pointed behind him towards the stairs "There's a comm unit in the atrium next to the kitchen, make your selves at home and if you need me the comm unit has a connection to my comm unit." He finished waiting a moment before turning around and starting towards the stairs.

“Hey Adara how are you feeling?” Slayn asked, his husky voice laced with concern, dark locks messily arranged upon his head, kind eyes glinting with worry, with disappointment. That the woman did not understand, the disappointment that she could feel as he looked at her. She smiled up at him again, large square teeth the color of fresh ivory gleamed wetly from behind her primrose lips, a small hand with long fingers brushing ebony tendrils back and away from the vision of algae colored eyes. It was a slightly uneasy smile, laced with uncertainty and confusion, but it was a warm smile, that came from her core. She was going to answer, when the other man entered, Tish if she recalled correctly. She turned her face toward him, her supple frame still turned toward the man who had affections for her.
He said something quickly, something about news, that none was good. It did not quite make sense to her, but Adara guessed that it would not matter. Slayn would make sure that she was ok. Tish started to leave, stating a brief parting statement.
“Oh, bye!” she called after her, hand lifting in a small wave that he could obviously not see. She turned to Slayn, cheeks taking on twin rosettes of color. “I am actually fine dear, more importantly however, is if you are? Did everything go over well?”

Slayn listened to what Tishr had to report and then watched as he walked down the stairs. He closed his eyes to take a deep breath. He could see visions of his past like a movie in a theater and time seemed to have slowed in that moment. It was funny how Adara was the last thing he saw in his mind. He always wondered what life would be like if he was with her, but like a typical love story she was always with someone else. Slayn loved Adara more then she could ever know he was willing to throw his life away just to save her. Lucky Tishr was there to talk some sense in the young man.
He turned back toward Adara and once again he'd feel like her beauty was an honor to grace his presence. She had replied to his question in a voice of what seemed heavenly to him. Slayn almost ignored her question not wanting to tell her, but he decided it would be rude if he didn't answer so he figured he would lie to her though he didn't want to.
Slayn walked a little closer toward Adara before responding to her question. "I'm fine, everything is good." He wanted very much to grab her and hold her but he fought the temptation and backed away. 'Adara I love you' he thought in his mind. These were words he dare not say.

He walked toward her, the old army uniform that fit irregularly upon his form billowing away for moments at a time, the thinning cloth pulled taut against the male’s battle hardened musculature. A handsome, yet smile was plastered upon his face, a proper word, she thought, would be melancholy. His dark eyes sparkled moistly in the dim lighting, thick lashes batting occasionally at the slightly dusty air. She could feel the warmth radiating from him, and suddenly Adara grew cold in comparison, it growing more intense on both ends as her rescuer paced over to her.
He looked at her so endearingly, evenly set eyes gazing at her form, as if peering upon the face of some heavenly being. A slow crimson flush spread across the alabaster skin upon her cheeks, turning her sea colored eyes downward. She held her hands tight to her waist, the delicate and long fingers interlacing just below her navel, some of the dark navy cloth in between them, pulling the large shirt forward a little, making it taut against her slim and narrow shoulders and along the gentle curves of her side. She shuffled from one bear foot to the other, and frowned at her own newborn nervousness, especially with Slayn this close.
"I'm fine, everything is good," he responded to her question a few moments after her having asked it. His voice carried heaviness to it, and Adara sensed something not entirely honest in it, like the man was holding something back, leaving some piece of information out. Maybe she was merely reading too far into her feelings, she really knew not much about how to read a person all that well, and she had been under a lot of stress recently… But the feeling was too strong to not act upon it.
Thin tresses of raven slid backward across the plane of her face; revealing a look of concern, bore not only within the twin seas of her oculars, but also upon the primrose lips that wore a slight grimace.
“Slayn, are you sure that there is something else that you are not telling me. You can tell me, I have lasted this long, nothing is going to really shake me,” she told him in almost a whisper, closing the gap between the two so that their bodies were nearly touching, the loose hem of her shirt touching his pant legs.

Feelings rushed through him like a hormonal teenager. At the moment one emotion plagued him like a foreboding omen that would come to pass. Her delicate eyes meet his dark abyss like eyes. Her eyes never ceased to amaze him, the bluish-green eyes looked like lily pads being over lapped by water. When she stepped closer to close the slight distance between them.
What was she doing? was she trying to pry the information of his undying love for her out of him. Slayn was always one for hiding his emotions, but for some reason he let it slip while he was in front of her. There was an awkward silence between them for a moment before placing his hand on her silky smooth skin.
"Adara...There is something I never told you. Even when we were kids. All these years I've been holding it back, but I can't cage my feelings anymore. What I'm really trying to say is I...I love you."
Immediately after saying those three sacred words that he wouldn't dare to say unless he meant it. He was terrified at what her reaction might be.

Rough warmth collided with the hot flesh of her cheek, the battle scarred and roughened skin of his hand, although slightly irritating to her skin, was comforting all the same. Surprise glistened in the wells of her eyes, making the iris of sea green shimmer like the oceans of Manaan, threatening to spill over their fleshy barricades, to run across and cling to the midnight lashes. A sad looking smile spreading lightly over her perfectly bowed lips, gaze darting from peering into the endless black abyss of Slayn’s oculars, to his broad chest.
I love you, Those words echoed centripetally in her mind. It was obvious that her savoir, and friend, meant them, with conviction. What would she say to him? Did she love him as well? Was it the same sort of love? What would he do if she did not say it back? He deserved to have her love, and more. But did he have it?
Adara’s much smaller hand lifted heavily through the warm air of the room, her alabaster skin bright, and warm from the recent shower, seeming to glow in the dim lights. She covered the back of Slayn’s hand with her own, her softer, lighter flesh appearing to be some sort of reverse shadow to his larger appendage. She cupped it lovingly, pressing it against the soft skin of her face, eyes trailing back to his. A trickle of moisture glistened down her downy skin, meeting the rugged flesh of the Mercenary, to spread, and permeate the skin it touched.
“I think, that… Well, that I love you as well,” she whispered, thick throated, seeming to melt against him, burying her now damp face in his chest, arms slipping under his. The pads of her fingertips barely gripped the tops of his shoulders from the back, pulling taut the fabric of the old army uniform that he wore, ripples of fabric surrounding her fingers, a dark sea seeking to consume the pale marble-like forms.
OOC: I like to end on weird details. XD

The though of rejection quickly flooded his mind like a ton of pack rats searching for garbage. His mind returned him back to the past, back to the childhood days of his life. He was about ten years old when he had met Adara, it was the middle of the day and he knew he shouldn't have wandered that far. Even though the consequences where high, he was glad he went only because he met Adara. He continued to see Adara over the years and slowly began to fall in love with her, but she was always with another and he never got his chance to say how he felt. Only years later the one person that has been by her side for so many years. Would he hear the chain shattering words?
Time seemed to slow down after he told her how he felt was it a good thing? His heart beating irregularly from the adrenalin pumping through his body and for the first time in his life he felt fear. She placed her small hand over his large ruff hand, soft as a baby's bottom.
“I think, that… Well, that I love you as well,” she whispered. She had moved closer and embraced the rugged mercenary. Slayn was clearly unsatisfied with her answer, he heard an uncertainty in her voice. This was a false moment and Slayn knew it, she didn't really love him she was probably just saying it just to say it. But of course Slayn didn't show her what he was feeling by keeping his face the same.
He held her small fragile body within is arms, sliding his arms underneath hers wrapping them around her. He placed his chin on the top of her cranium. Where would this lead? Does she really love me? All questions he would continue to ask himself repeatedly in his mind.
((I know....I know it sucks you don't have to tell me))

Like his warmth, she could feel his uncertainty. It leapt from him in waves, never before had Adara felt a sensation like this before, the ability to feel another’s emotions. Mayhap she was imagining it, something that pretended to awaken in her with this new admittance, the blossoming of a new truth in the deepest core of soul.
His arms were rough around her, but strong, soothingly so and embracing. The soft worn material of the uniform that draped his muscley form was soft, the once coarse and thick fabric rubbed and washed thin and silky by time. Her nose rested against it, the soft musk and age noticeable in the sour sweetness of the cloth, masked by the detergent used to clean it, obviously not of high expense, but it did its job. Under it, Slayn’s own heady scent lay, slightly intoxicating at such a close distance.
“I really do.”
