But This is Not Black and White
WHO: Cal Kestis, BD-1 and you
WHERE: Sh'Ka
WHAT: Totally avoiding Certain People while trying to recenter himself
WHEN: Mid-July
WARNINGS: N/A
NOTE: Will match tag format/preference!
"I will find you, Cal Kestis."
While the sentiment in those words is nothing new, the real concern that haunts the young Jedi is the fact that the threat is new and most importantly, here on this planet. Worse yet, within a confined area of a planet that they really had no great means to travel to, much less any knowledge of any possible places beyond the two cities they currently have access to.
Cal had thought that being on the run would have been over for him. He'd finally come out of hiding, fearlessly faced the Empire and the Inquisitors it sent relentlessly after him and his friends. He'd infiltrated the Fortress Inquisitorious and somehow made it back out alive. Being able to stay alive after everything is always a positive outcome. Being brought back to Agra 10 was considerably a vacation in comparison.
Once again, he finds himself in a defensive mode. At least he has the Force to rely on, and the one who might seek him out does not, but Cal had learned early on to be wary of Albert Wesker. Those concerns had only been further underlined once he'd found himself in the man's dreamspace.
If nothing else, Sh'Ka proves to be at least much more bearable for the weather. Cal had had BD-1 shoot off a few messages to Tony, Jon and Echo to tell them where he'd be if they needed him, an abrupt enough message to leave without seeing them, but the last thing he wanted was to draw attention to them if Wesker was on the prowl. He decides to revisit the power plant where he'd last set up camp, back when he'd led a small team on the repair work for the power grid. If he's going to be here, he may as well make himself useful and see if he can pick up on what was being done about the water.
It's been easier to find focus here too, for some reason. Calmer. Quieter. When he's not working on the water treatment equipment or tracing water lines, he's up on the roof of the hotel, meditating. It's not an easy spot to get to but it's peaceful, and the view's pretty nice.

He wasn't sure what Tony was expecting as an answer anymore and wasn't sure if they were still trying to work out solutions. He set what remained of the cheesecake, bag and all, on the roof between them. The warmth hadn't done it any favors, but at least he'd made some progress through it.
"The Dark Side isn't an answer," Cal finally said.

Tony's movement to grab his helmet startled and dislodged BD-1 from the perch he had taken up upon it like some odd little bird finding an enormous egg. Maybe he thought he'd made a new friend.
"Tony…" Cal started, already bothered by the condensed swirl of conflict he sensed in the man. But he decided maybe it was better to let him go for now, to let them reset from the path the conversation had taken. He got to his feet all the same, reflexively holding an arm out for BD-1 to hop up onto as they watched Tony push away from the rooftop.
Was he really strong? Stubborn, for sure. Persistant, definitely. But he wasn't much alone.
"...I'll see you around," he promised.
