Kalene sat down at a table just inside the door and gestured to the other chair. "Take a seat," she said quietly waiting for the proof she asked for.

the scared man sat down in the chair indicated. a wide smile settled onto his face, as if he expected this.
"ben said you would have yer doubts," he said by way of explanation, "said to remind you of the battle of the red flames. said that you should remember a young man who helped you when you stumbled in the practice room prior to the battle."
patting the pouch that held the lightsabre, "he died in the battle to make sure you lived. he was my older brother and i followed in his footsteps and became a jedi, or whatever passes for one these dark days."

Kalene thought back to her past, "Oh yes," she said, "I remember your brother. He was always looking out for me." "I'm sorry to hear that he's dead," she said sadly remembering his kindness to her.
"I remember that time very well," she said, "Even though I wish I could forget. So many people died then," she said, lost in memories of the past which she had tried putting behind her, yet here they were popping up at the worst possible time.
She knew she had a mission and couldn't afford to be distracted by her past which she thought was better forgotten. She forcibly pushed her memories back where they belonged and tried hard to focus on thoughts of what had to be done. "How is Ben?" she asked quietly, "I haven't seen or heard from him for a while now."

Vash whipped his head around, at hearing Ben's name said. He noticed that the girl had said it. He got up and went over to them. "I'm sorry to disturb you, but did you say, Ben?"

Kalene looked up, startled out of her thoughts, at the person who had just spoken. "Who are you?" she asked bluntly, "And how do you know him?" She had a feeling that she should know him but his identity totally escaped her for the moment. 'Oh, well,' she finally thought, 'I'll think of it eventually.'

"Ben kenobi. I fought with him in the Clone Wars. My name is Vash." He said, still hooded, so they couldn't see his face.

She thought to herself, 'I must have been wrong about possibly knowing him.' and turned her thoughts back to the problem of how she was going to accomplish her mission here and report back to her superiors.

"How?" she asked quietly, "What happened?" 'I hate being out of touch for so long at a time,' she thought furiously to herself. 'I should have known that.'

Vash took a seat next to her. HE then said in a low voice, as not to attract attention. "Vader killed him. On the the Deathstar, shortly before it was destroyed.

After finishing her drink, her eyes cought sight that the cloaked figure was now gone. She saw that he was talking with Kalene and another man. She wondered if her friend was in danger. But she knew Kalene was smart and just as dangerous when need me.
But something else made her stand. A man sitting at one of the back tables. His legs were proped up upon the table, leanning back against his chair.
With a smile she walked up to him and said, "I always know when your in town. You can't stay away from me, can you."

"im afraid it is true," the scared man said after a few minutes hoping to get the converstation back on track, "ben died so the empire would stall. but there is still more work to be done."
he looked at vash, "i thought you were here, vash, but i also thought you were caught up in yer own affairs to bother with the likes of us," nodding to the lounge singer at the bar even as she crossed the floor and began speaking to a man in the far back corner.
he turned back to kalene, "as you know my brother was kangas dor, i am kangas rif. as custom with my people my family name is first and personal name is last, you may call me by the last since you and my brother were...close."

"Very well, Rif," she said. "Thank you for the honor," "Yes," she replied quietly, "He was my self-appointed protector." "He spoke highly of you,"
"I am sad that Ben is gone," she said very softly, "But I swear his death will not be in vain." 'Forgive me, Master,' she said to herself.

"Mine own affairs also deal with the Empire. Plus I followed you here." He said, pulling back his cloak's hood, revealing a man in his late twenties.

"I thought I sensed someone following me," She said quietly, "But I was more worried about what I would find here." "I should have paid closer attention to what my senses were telling me. I know better than to not pay attention to things around me." She said, angry at herself, because if he had been an enemy he could have killed her due to her inattention.
