From "Ancient City, Sith and All": At length Shawn added, answering an Terrin's unvoiced query, "She has set course for Coruscant. Lord Aelvedaar suggests we analyze this move and consider just what she might be planning. "I suggest we find Erik Kartan and your crewmen and discuss in more comfortable accomadations?" *********** Terrin nodded a bit numbly, considering this new information as he began to move forward. Coruscant? Why was she headed for one of the most dangerous places she could possibly go? Actar was probably there, just itching to get a hold of her again... But then, Terrin knew that Galen was probably well aware of this. She wasn't one to underestimate threats and risks... ...but then, she wasn't thinking of herself in this matter. She was out to protect little Darra, and that might lead her to take more risks than usual. But, Coruscant...? Maybe Khar Delba, or Korriban, or possibly even the Guild world... But Coruscant? Why would she want to go back there, after Actar had almost killed her when Tarnus had delivered her to him...? Terrin froze mid-step as an all-too disturbing possibility slammed into him. His concern, if it even could have at this point, moved up yet another notch. Oh, no, she just couldn't be. Surely not... Beside him, Shawn stopped as well, cocking a concerned brow. Terrin completely ignored him, continuing to sort through this new possibility. Well, you moron, a very unwanted shoulder-devil piped up, Who better to go to concerning the safety of little JhinDarra than her biological father? Maybe she thinks he'll help her get little Darra away from the Sith... Terrin squished that particular little beastie with a mental slap as yet another disturbing thought wormed its way into his psyche. He'd told her that Gravin Dark and Darth Desolist were in cahoots with Roan. But had he ever specifically mentioned that, in working for the former, Sorben Tarnus had probably allied himself, even if unknowingly, with the latter? Terrin closed his eyes and shuddered, just once. No, you didn't ever point this out to her. Not directly. You didn't want to hurt her. You didn't have TRUE proof that Tarnus had ever met with Roan, nor did you know if the guy was even aware he was helping the Dark Lord. So rather than further damage any views Galen might have of the bounty hunter, you kept your trap shut. Terrin was beginning to feel sick. So what if, in your desire to not hurt her, you didn't provide Galen with information she might now need to avoid placing herself in the direct line of danger? Or was she aware of this significant particular, and was planning to use Tarnus's knowledge of Roan to possibly find him before he could have any chance of finding Darra? That particular idea was the most unsettling one that had crossed Terrin's mind. And horrifying though it was, Terrin's gut was telling him that this made alot more sense than he would like it to. He turned to Shawn, forcing himself to put his thoughts into words, his worry stepping up yet another level as he did so. "I think she's headed to Coruscant to find Sorben Tarnus..." he started, pausing and taking a deep breath for his next statement. "Something tells me she either could be headed for more danger than she realizes... ...or that she fully realizes what she is heading for, and intends to use it to get to Dark Lord Roan..."
