A Shard of the Past

[Ben Skywalker]

Ben smiled slightly as he watched the younger boy. He was so full of energy and reminded him a lot of himself when he was that age. He nodded when Jaysin suggested that they go and drop his stuff off and find his friend before searching for Luke. "Yeah, that sounds like a decent plan." Ben said with a smile. "So what's your friend's name?" he asked as he gestured for the boy to lead the way. "Lead on then Jay." he added with a nod.

Ben was actually quite interested in where the boy lived. He could tell that the child was an orphan and wished that there was something he and his father could do for the kid. But that wasn't their mission. Their mission was to find the source of the force user. That was a hard thing to do considering that they didn't want to use the force themselves and draw attention from possible unwanted forces. "I'm sure there are a lot of interesting places to see here. I've read a lot about Telos from the archives back on Coruscant. I believe the planet is fairly old." he said as he started to walk alongside the younger boy.

"My friends name is Aedin and his a gigantic bubblus pain in the backside for ditching me." he stated, but chuckled showing he had no true ill feelings towards Aedin. The two boys had been like brothers for some time. They'd be bound to get on each others nerves sooner or later. As they walked he made sure the stuff he had wouldn't slip away from him. He knew it would be slightly awkward showing Ben his make shift home in the junk yard, but he wasn't ashamed of his living either. He knew there was nothing else, so what was he to do but show him the secret hide out of his. Ben was actualy lucky, Jay never really showed anyone his place. Aedin and maybe a select few other street roamers knew about the place.

"Yeah there are a lot of interesting places. Some of the indoor shops around here are pretty good. I love the one that makes baked goods. Or the one that makes sweets. Basically I am a food junky. But there are other shops, gardens, and landmarks worth seeing. Oh and then there is the stadium and the games. There are so many game styles here its not even funny. My favorite are the combat and races. I've even entered wanted to enter in a few with my friend Aedin. He wouldn't be as good as I am, especially at combat, but him and I are decent racers together on a normal basis. But we never have gotten to compete. I would do either combat or the races if I got the chance, both if I was really lucky."

He wasn't about to tell Ben though the real reason why he wanted to do the games. It was so he could get off Telos. He wanted to forget the place that seemed to depressing to him. A part of him, though he had Aedin, was still lonely somehow. He longed for more, to be more. To use the gifts that he had for more than just lifting off peoples goods. In his mind though, he had a bad feeling that wouldn't happen, luck like that never crossed his feild. However, what he didn't know was that he was standing right next to someone that understood his perdicament. Had gifts like Jay did and Jay didn't even know it. After walking only what seemed like a short ways they came to a wall with a wide gate in front of it, home. Jaysin made the gate move aside for him to slip through, it was already open a crack as was, which meant his buddy made it home. He gave a sigh and gestured for Ben to follow.

"Welcome to my humble abode." he said plainly. "Its not much, but its got perks where they count."

Piles and piles of junk and ship parts were all over the place. It was a ship scavangers haven. Jaysin walked towards his ship home swiftly and called out, "Aedin! I'm home! Come out here and help me you lazy peice of poodoo!" He looked at Ben and said. "Your welcome to come in and make yourself comfortable until I get this taken care of."

He went inside quickly and there was some loud commotion making between him and apparently Aiden whom he found. This left Ben to either explore or join them inside.

Ben smiled as Jaysin started talking about the games and the sites on Telos. He looked around as he followed the boy taking in his surroundings and being as vigilant as he could without tapping into the force. "Yeah, I've heard about the games from some of the space pirates in cantina's through out the galaxy." Ben replied truthfully. He had heard a bit about Telos in his travels but things were still a bit vague considering that it was in fact an outer rim planet.

He followed Jaysin to his home and looked around at the ship parts that filled the area. Well, he had to admit, if they need any parts for the Shadow, he knew that he may be able to find them here. He looked up towards the sound of the commotion and decided that maybe he'd better go and see what was going on.

He made his way inside and looked around to see Jaysin and Aedin and raised a brow as he watched the two of them. He lifted a hand and waved to Aedin and announced his presence. "Hello, you must be Aedin. I'm Ben." he introduced himself.

Aedin looked up at the boy that entered and gave a half grin. He gave a wave to Ben and went back to picking up the stuff that fell from Jay's hands. He gave Jay a pathetic look of being sorry as he loaded some of the stuff onto a table near by. Jay did the same as he picked up the things he had gotten in town. The place wasn't all that great, mostly cause it could use a bit of up keep, but it was at least a place to live. The walls were dirty and the floors seemed not kept up to par, but that was at no fault of Jay's or Aedins. They just used the place to have shelter in. Once the food was place on the table though, Jay and Aedin wiped any crums, dirt, or whatever else was on them off of themselves.

"Sorry if the place seems a bit dingy. We don't get guest often here." Jay stated.

"Who's that?" Aedin inquired.

"He's just some outlander that came here." Jay said. "I figured I'd give some help. Or more like we'd help. I still can't believe you ditched me in town today."

As Aedin got slugged he said, "Ow! Sorry I didn't mean to. I guess I just got carried away with what I was doing."

"You always get carried away." Jay said with a chuckle.

"No I don't!" he joked back.

"Yes you do." Jay said laughing.

"i do not." Aedin said with a playful shove, but that only encouraged Jay to wrestle slightly with him for a few moments.

Finally getting away Jay said panting, "You'll have to forgive Aedin he's a bit centric and crazy and not use to people outside of me and just him."

Aedin just mocked him and went to shake Ben's hand, "I'm not as bad as he says. Its really nice to meet you. Welcome. I don't know what sort of crazy bug idea Jay has up his bum but whatever it is I am in. I always am. I go where he goes."

"Of course you are." Jay said with a short snort.

"I am!" he interjected looking from Jay back to Ben. "Promise."
