"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.

He shrugs. "I couldn't say, dunno what the former is."

"It's my mother. She's scary." He's still being cheerful.

"They can see into the future, farther and with more accuracy than the Jedi. I've heard that Revan studied with them, and Tobias wears their robes."

"Mandalorian," he reminds him cooly. "And what's got you all perky?"

"Huh... interesting."

"Mmhmm..." And then, "I'm going home... I haven't been home in ages it seems like. I miss it."

"I know you two get along about as well as kath hounds and kinrath, but you could always talk to Revan about it. He might be willing to help with the meditation of it, at least."

He smiles. "See, it's not going to be that bad. You'll get to go back, for a while at least." Though you might find you've outgrown it, he doesn't say.

He doesn't ask 'why'. Instead he says, "Kale said that Tobias said that Revan said he might help Kale with his slicing."

"Yeah." He probably has. But that doesn't stop him from missing it.

Revan's just realized that a lot of the old teachings have been lost. And there isn't anything he hates more than the loss of knowledge. Besides, who doesn't want foresight? "That's a lot of saids. But he probably would, yes. He's an excellent slicer; no reason not to pass that on."

A talent for foresight does run in the family. It's how their father survived Order 66.

"I didn't hear it directly," he says with a slight smile. "The teacher might be willing... but the student is still hurt."

See, he can totally be helpful with that.

"No one ever required the student to like the teacher. I'm told that Malak disliked his Jedi teacher, Vrook, but he still learned from him."

But is that a good thing?

"It's not a matter of like or dislike ... so much as 'he tried to kill me and what if he does it again to prevent me from becoming like Nihilus?' that's bothering Kale." Trever thinks that's a perfectly reasonable worry.

Potentially. It means he'll know what and who to avoid, right?

"I can't say for certain, but did he consider that Rev'ika knew that that wasn't going to kill him? And I think if anyone would be worried about Kale turning into Nihilus, it'd be Tobias."

Like Trever'll actually listen to that one.

"How would he know it wouldn't have killed Kale? It killed those Jedi Masters."

"The Masters didn't have twins, now did they? Probably figured it'd either sever Kale from the Force, or, less likely, it'd kill you both." This comes from John, who's standing at the entrance to the cockpit and gazing out through the viewport.

"So you're saying that Revan figured that I'd keep Kale alive?" He asks, eyes never leaving the viewport. It made some sense to him. The way the two of them were -had been - connected they couldn't let the other go away. It would kill them.

"How much longer? D'you think?"

"You did, didn't you? He doesn't seem like he'd be so stupid as to not factor you into the equation."

They've already gotten through the portal. "Couple minutes," Axis replies as he puts the controls back on manual. "We aren't going to get shot of orbit, are we?"

"I have no idea what he was thinking at the time. I just needed to get Kale back."

Trever laughs at that. "No, we're not. The Empire holds the planet... but I know the codes to get through."

Axis grins. "Well thank the Mandalore for small favors. You get to entering those codes, I'll take her in."

He mutters something to John, who nods and slinks off again.

Trever rattles off the coordinates for his family's farm, as he starts entering the codes. Finished, he gave a satisfied smile. "There and they won't have any record of us either."

Axis glances over to him for a moment before focusing back on heading for about a half-mile outside the farm. "Really? Well, I'm glad of that."

His time with the Sith was handy for getting access to codes that let them slip unnoticed. Trever had sent in a "Very Secret Tell Anyone We're Here and You'll Die" code to the airspace command.

He watches the scenery with a bit of a smile, resisting the urge to point out places he recognizes.

Oh, that's verrah nice. Axis likes.

He sets the Ebon Hawk down once he finds a good spot. "You ready for this?"

Kree'sha didn't even know he found those.

He takes a deep breath and nods. "Ready as I'll ever be."

Though there's a twitch of a smile on his face, as though he knows something Axis doesn't.

The twitch of the smile bothers him; it makes him feel like he's walking into something bad or that he's not part of the joke or something.

He finishes locking down the ship, going so far as to lock down the star charts and everything else, before getting up. "Let's get going, then."

Oh yes. You should be bothered Axis, you should.

Trever stretches a bit before getting out of the seat to walk out of the ship. He'll wait for Axis and John (if he's coming) to catch up before setting out towards the farm, hands in his pockets, that smile on his face.

Oh, he is. He is.

Axis does catch up, talking quietly with John (possibly even finalizing battle/retreat plans based on the landscape) as they walk. John changed into a breastplate, shinguards, and gauntlets, with a pair of blaster pistols at his side. He almost looks like he belongs here.

It's rather boring and flat farmland really. Not very good for those sort of things. They're rather out in the open. Behind the farmstead however, are dark hills that over shadow the land.

Trever only half listens to what Axis and John are talking about, apparently not at all worried about what's up ahead. It doesn't take long before the buildings are in sight.
