"You sure you're going to be okay?" Trever asked Kale. He wanted to reach up and brush some hair from his twin's face... but that would have been wrong. They were trying to be separate.

"I'll be fine, promise. I'm not going to leave the house. Tobias and I'll be fine. I promise," Kale said, looking a bit wistful. He wanted to go too. But... he couldn't. Too dangerous. The last thing they needed was for something to trigger off Kale turning into something like Nihilus.

Trever hesitated and then gave Kale a hug. Hugs were safe. Kale hugged him back. "I'll miss you."

"Me too."

"Right, okay. I'll try and keep you updated as often as possible."

"Good. Now go on. Shoo."

Trever stuck his tongue out, but left to find Axis. It felt weird going to find their father body or alive. He didn't know which would be worse.

Axis slows in turn, jumping to John's body long enough to tell him to slow down before going back to Alex's body. Alerting the guards would be bad.

It takes about twenty minutes at the sedate pace to actually get inside the city. Trever's never been there before, not being allowed off the farm. He pulls to the side of the rode and pulls of his helmet, giving his head a shake and scruffing out his helmet hair.

"I have absolutely no idea where to go," He admits.

Axis is reluctant to take his helmet off but figures they'll have a better chance of getting something done if he does; he unlatches it, gives his head a shake, and stows it in the bag, careful not to jostle anything.

John doesn't have to worry about helmet hair, hah! "Talia gave us that list, and I'd suggest trying the parts dealer first."

"Let me rephrase that. I've never been in the city before so I don't know where anything is." Yes, but Trever looks good with hair.

John gives him A Look. "It shouldn't be that difficult."

"We'll just have to start walking and go from there."

It's a CITY. Of course it's going to be difficult. But he stows his helmet and slips a couple of things into his pockets. Never know when being one of the Emperor's pet Force users might come in handy.

He looks around for a moment and then grins. There's a pair of Storm Troopers walking by. He goes over and talks to them for a moment, at one point making a threating gesture that may have been a choking move. Satisfied, he waves them off and comes back to John and Axis.

"Got it."

John gets a look very much like o_O on his face. Axis rolls his eyes; there's Sith for ya.

"Shall we, then?" John rumbles out.

Or had been Sith... or something like that. Still, he's putting what he learned to good use, which should be helpful.

"Yes. This way." Trever starts out confidently down the street. His posture is a little bit different as he walks. Straighter instead of the sort of slouch he regularly has and a bit more aggressive. Someone is channeling their Sith Training indeed.

"Of course, Lord Kun," Axis says dryly and just loud enough for Trever to hear, following after him with John (who wonders what happened to that 'low profile' thing went) in tow.

Mwahah... Trever has no idea who that is, so it means nothing to him, Axis! Nothing!

As for the low profile, channeling Sith for Trever means a whole different way of acting and he finds it easier to keep it on once he starts. He does at least slow down enough so that he's walking with Axis and John and not in front of them. "I don't know if I should be the one talking."

Well that's a shame, Kun was a great Sith; anyone who gives him a chance to murder Jedi is all right in his book.

"Let me handle it." Axis figures he's ~~got more Diplomacy points~~ is better at questioning folks without verbally threatening them.

Trever ~~has no diplomacy points, unless you're going by the new Saga rules~~ isn't good at questioning people without threatening them.

"Sounds good to me."

Axis learned out of necessity. Can't go around threatening the owners of other farmsteads, after all.

He nods. "Good."

Well no.

The parts shop is run by a Bothan who looks at them curiously when they walk in. The three of them don't look like they're farmers at all. Especially with the weapons.

Certainly not farmers, no. Axis steps forward to speak to the Bothan. "My associates and I need to speak with you about one of your customers."

Unless they're hillbilly farmers. XD The Bothan looks them over carefully now. "What sort of speaking?" he asks cautiously.

"We need information on him." He taps a credit pad with a considerable sum of money on the counter. "If he came here recently, where he went after, if someone was with him...

There is lookage at the credit pad and then at Axis. Back to the pad, look at Trever and John. Back to the pad. "I believe I may be able to help you on that."

Axis grins. "I'm glad to hear it. Now, when was the last time you saw Calenvir Delvar?"

The Bothan shoves the pad back. "I couldn't say. I'm sorry."

John slips into his telepathy to see if he can catch anything at point.

In the meantime, Axis takes the pad back with a sigh, and turns to Trever. "You heard him, my Lord. I apologize for my failure," he says, winking as he bows his head. Play along with me here, help me out, he tries to project to him. No one plays a Sith quite like a Force-user who's known them.

The Bothan is clearly afraid of something, there's a flash of Calenvir in his memory, talking to someone. But the 'My Lord' bit freezes all thought and his eyes lock directly onto Trever.

Trever, for his part, looks vaguely irritated. "You call that getting information? You didn't even do anything," he snaps. He flicks his hand out and carefully raises Axis up; there's a slight pressure on his throat as well. All Right. he sends back, playing a good little irritated Sith Lord.

John curses inwardly. It's something at least, but not quite worth the piercing migraine. However, he does seem to catch on to what his compatriots are up to. "Sir, we are trying," he adds, voice soft but certainly loud enough for the Bothan to hear, and with a distinctly imploring and placating tone. "The traitor will be found, but we need the hunter to do that, liege."

Axis has been choked before, really choked, by the Jedi he used to hunt, and makes an appropriate gasping, gagging noise. If anyone ever claimed he wasn't an actor, they were crazy or lying.

Trever keeps a hold on Axis for a moment, while staring the Bothan down. He then drops Axis with a flick of his hand.

The Bothan looks very, very nervous now. Especially with Trever staring straight at him. There's a smile from the would be Sith and it's not a nice smile.

"Now, there are two ways we can continue this conversation. I can rip the information I want from your head and leave you a drooling vegetable or you can just tell us what we want to know, and you'll be left to go about your business." He pauses. "Your choice."

Axis drops onto his hands and knees, holding the collar of his underarmor out from his neck and gasping (face turned away from the Bothan to hide the smirking glint in his eyes). And, for added effect, he leans in and kisses Trever's boots, apologizing in swift frightened tones. Because hey, if the 'Sith' can make a bounty hunter afraid enough to kiss his boots...

John fixes the Bothan with a gaze that clearly says, 'You might prefer the latter option.'
