Like any other night, Bianchi spent most of her time in the supression chamber, honing and adding to her agility and combat skills. Prior to her training, she studied every weapon they had in stock but there was one in particular she favored. It was a Kashyyyk crossbow. Despite having chosen a weapon for herself, she continued to study and train with every other weapon available to use in the enclave, some she excelled at, some she did not and she wondered what their purpose was for but studied them none the less.
She was dressed in a issued jumpsuit, her long platinum hair pulled into a careful ponytail, sweat freely beading down as she finally dropped to the ground near her bag. Her previous real-time training session with Darth Lexaari had proven difficult and the bruises on her arms and back that she had left on her had not yet begun to fade but it would not deter her from continuing to push forward. She did not want to be told again what she could and could not do because she knew only she could set her own limits.
She glanced around slowly as she caught her breath, no one was around as usual which was how she liked it when she trained. As she pulled a bottle of water out she did not hesistant to gulp it down, even pouring some of it over her head in a attempt to cool herself off. Once she felt right enough, she stood up and gathered her things. She had known that her foster home had recently gotten new children, the children of her guardian whom had recently gone missing. Since it was late, she decided it would be best to head to the ship given to her by Darth Serost instead of popping up in the middle of the night and waking up the babies.
She activated her communicator as she hauled her bag over her shoulder and began walking towards the exit of the Draal. "Caitan, I'm done training for now, where are you?". Caitan was always nearby despite Bianchi telling him to go off and do something on his own. "I am outside with the speeder, awaiting your orders my lady. I will also inform you that a package arrived for you. I have already secured it on the ship as you had commanded that I not disturb you." he replied promptly as usual.
"A package? I love surprises!" she asked curiously with a hint of exciment, something that was beginning to become unusual for her these days as her typical eagerness and happy moods were beginning to fade as of late.
"Yes, it comes from the one you call "Alor". replied Caitan as he stood almost sentry-style outside of the Enclave waiting for her.
"From the Alor!?" came a even more excited reply as she now began jogging quickly towards the exit, motivated by the words she had just heard. "Why didn't you say so before!? For this type of thing, you could have came in and told me Caitan, geez silly!" she said with a bit of laughter as she began wondering what the package was.
"My apologies, I was following your orders as I was commanded. I will remember for future references." he responded bluntly as usual.
She exited the Enclave just as he finished speaking into his com, the speeder was ready to go and she quickly hopped on behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Well, don't waste any time getting us to the spacecraft.. I can't wait!" she laughed as he burst into full throttle. Closing her eyes she felt the nice breeze cooling her face as they made their way to the spaceport at break-neck speeds.
"Will you be staying on this planet tonight?" he asked as they arrived at the docking bay which held her ship.
"No, Saber is still missing and I don't want to wake his babies up coming in so late. It's best if I stay on this ship unless you are saying you don't want me there?" she said teasingly as she climbed off of the back of the speeder and began dashing for the ramp wondering just what Nas'cuyan could have sent to her.
"It is your ship, and what I want is irrelevant and not in my function. I am your property and I ensure your security. " he said as he followed her up the ramp.
She quickly punched the code to enter the ship then turned and shook her head. "Don't say crazy stuff like that, you are not property, you are my friend.. stop being silly. You are not like those taxi droids for goodness sakes."
"As you say, my lady.." he replied as he stepped in behind her then secured the ship door. He had already scanned the outer perimeter around the ship before he had taken her near it. Once inside he had began a secondary scan always insuring the safety of his charge. He watched as she dropped her belongings on the couch and ran off towards where the package was being held.
The package was set up in the ready room, rather large. She wasted no time opening the package as she had confirmed it was indeed from Nas'cuyan. "AHhh!! Oh My oh... Oh!!!" came the screams from the ready room.
Caitan was immediately set on high alert as he ran towards the ready room, weapon drawn only to find Bianchi hugging a piece of armor she had taken out of the box. "Bianchi!?" he called out as he swiftly entered the room, scanning it then scanning her.
"It's my own beskar'gam!!! It's for me!" she said through half closed eyes, almost coming to tears as she held it up so Caitan could see it. He merely stared at her for a moment, assessing the situation as non-threatening then standing down.
"Congratulations. Does this mean they will no longer treat you as easy to kill meat like you said before?" he asked as he placed his weapon back at his side.
She scrunched her nose up as she had remembered saying such words to him then smirking. "Way to dampen the party, Caitan but yes.. hopefully I'm not just dead meat anymore but time will tell. I think the alor knows I'm working hard.. he doesn't treat me like a moron like the others. See what hard work gets you, Caitan!?" she exclaimed happily as she looked over all the pieces in the box. This armor is very hard to obtain, the beskar it is made from is hard to acquire, it probably cost a whole bunch. Im going to have to work even harder to even deserve putting this on. Will you help me continue to train?" she asked excitely.
"Of course. I will aide you in any endeavor you wish, my lady." Caitan replied. "Shall I put us in orbit now?"
Bianchi nodded her head in response as she was too busy smiling about her gift. She carefully put it back in the box and stood up to look towards Caitan.
"Take us in orbit and bring us somewhere that I can go shopping. I'm going to need lots of pink, gray, white, and purple paint... " she said as she giggled and ran towards Caitan, hopping on his back playfully.
"Wooooo!" she wailed and pointed towards the deck. "You're the only one who can drive this thing! Come on Come on!" she chanted until Caitan casually walked with her on his back to the bridge nonchalantly and began setting the coordinates as she stuck on his back like a fly to sticky paper.
"Course set, we should arrive very soon." he replied calmly despite the fact she was bugging out on his back. "We will depart just as soon as you strap in."
She tugged his ear a bit then slid off of his back to hop in one of the seats, spinning it around in a circle then drumming on the dashboard. Caitan sat down at the console after watching her closely to be sure she had secured herself.
"Alright now, I'm ready!! Make it flash!!" she cried out, which was her usual meaning for setting off at warp speeds.
"Acknowledged.." Caitan responded as the two of them set off towards Nar Shaddaa.
