"Well, are they," Venn asked. "They didn't attack us on sight, or even demand our surrender."
Well, of course they didn't the war is over. Cadence found his behavior genuinely confusing. Yes, they were on a diplomatic mission, but that didn't mean either he or she would have to kowtow to the Empire. Senator Tarth often talked about how the best negotiations begin from a position of strength. Cadence found the man rather snobbish at times, but he was a skilled negotiator. Would he have bowed his head to the Sith?
"They might've been our enemy years ago but today they're just another group of people saddled with the job of keeping a diplomat out of trouble. Don't lose that perspective, that they're people too," Venn continued, the soldier's words barely registering at the edges of her conscious awareness.
The young Jedi had been lost in thought, but an odd sensation drew her out of it. As the soldier kept explaining his point she turned to look over her shoulder. It felt like someone was watching them, but there was nobody there. She searched the area with her eyes, looking this way and that. Aside from a few Swokes businessmen, there was no one else in the courtyard with them. Who..., she thought, the question trailing off into the nothing.
"Come on, we got a perimeter check to do," Venn told her, his voice suddenly snapping her back to the present. She turned to look at him, but found him several feet away heading back towards the hotel to circle around the perimeter.
She hurried to catch up with him, that odd feeling she had a moment before fading from her mind. As they rounded the corner she trotted up beside him, looking up at him. "So, have you fought in many battles," she asked, a slight eagerness to her tone. He'd mentioned serving with Delrick before, but that story was boring. She wanted to hear about the battles, tales of heroism and courage from someone who'd actually been there.
