Night on Coruscant. The sky is dark, and had it been any other planet, the stars would have been shining clearly. This is however, Coruscant. No stars are seen. But the Neon lights are quite bright. And the speeders too. And a lot of music can be heard in the distance. Probably from some cantina.
And here, in the middle of the night, a quite tired looking Tianara is walking. She holds the robe close to her body, surpressing a yawn. Why couldn't this Jedi have run off in the middle of the day instead? She runs her fingers through her hair. It hasn't been combed. She narrows her eyes slightly, trying to keep out the light. She has started moving a little away from the temple, guessing that place will soon be swarmed with searching Jedi. And if this Sarré was really as scared as they say, she would probably try to avoid all of them.

In an alley nearby, a lonely figure appears from the dark, dragging her right foot behind her, like a wounded animal.
Running with bare feet, even through the upper levels of Coruscant, is not a good idea - for the feet. They are ripped up and leaves bloody footprints. Not that the feet's owner really cares. She is just walking. Away from everything and everybody.
Sarré's eyes looks straight ahead, but not really seeing anything. At least not something visible to others.

Tianara yawns. This time she doesn't suppress it. But at least she covers the mouth with her hand. She looks around, a bit sleepily. She reaches out with the force, trying to sense if Sarré - or anyone else for that matter - is nearby.

Sarré stops, partly because of the pain from her twisted - or broken - ancle and partly because of the lack of orientation. The pale green eyes look around, trying to see something familiar from the surroundings.
Nothing...
She is cold. And scared. Even more scared than she was before. Sarré slides down the wall, buries her face in her hands and sobs silently.

Tianara sighs quietly. Half the population on Coruscant could be scared and frustrated right now, thanks to the Fallen Jedi... She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes, calming herself and reaches out with the Force. She just stands there for several minutes, then opens her eyes, looking around. Was it wishful thinking, or had she felt a presence in the Force close by? She wlalks to the nearest alley, looking out into the darkness, then shakes her head. Nothing. She continues to the next, trying to reach out towards the being - and trying to be very comforting in her mental touch.

The 'being' doesn't respond to her mental touch through the Force. Sarré just remains crouched, her back pressed against the wall, her face buried in her hands. Her sobs has turned into crying.
Her ancle is still hurting. But he is gone. He can't find her. She is safe....
But she can't stop crying.

This time Tianara is certain of it. This is not just a random feeling, she can definitely feel someone lost and sad. And it radiates clearly through the Force. She stands still, reaching out again, trying to pinpoint the exact location. She slowly turns down an alley. Very slowly. She looks down the dark path, reaching out with the Force again, soothingly.
"..." she opens her mouth, and nothing comes out. How do you address a possibly insane Jedi?
"Sarré Jupal?" She looks out into the darkness. She's not even certain it -is- Sarré sitting there.

Sarré startles and looks up, through the darkness. She doesn't see the person talking. It could be him.... The voice is no Wookie humming... It could be anyone...
She doesn't like that.
The Padawan pulls herself to her feet, stumbling backwards down the alley.

"No" Tianara takes a quick step forward, hoping to bring just a little light on her face. she reaches out a hand towards Sarré.
"no, please don't run away..." She doesn't try to move closer to the scared woman, she tilts her head slightly, looking at her.
"I'm Tianara...a padawan from the temple. Master Chapaa'ai send me..." She touches her braid, nervously.

Sarré doesn't answer the other woman immediately. Instead she just looks at Tianara with her pale green, absent eyes. Looks at the other Padawan without even blinking.
"Leave me alone." Her voice is hoarse, but the words are clear. "He will kill you. He kills everyone... brings nothing but death..."

Tianara shakes her head slowly, her mind working hard to make sense of her words. Think, think...who will kill her? Honestly, she doesn't have a clue right now. But then, maybe it's not that important who she's talking about.
"Sarré, I know you're scared...I'd be scared too" She hesitantly takes another step forward.
"But your foot...it looks painful. Wont you at least let me look at it? Please?"

"No." Sarré whimpers and draws furher back into the alley. "It's just broken... It will grow back together... I know..."
She seems to crumbles, as she kneels down like she wants to completely disappear. "... Are you... scared now?"

Tianara slowly, very, very slowly moves closer to Sarré, and kneels down besides the older woman.
"Yeah, I'm a little scared even now" she looks at Sarré "My Master was recently hurt, and I was so, so scared. And even now, I'm a bit scared he wont recover" she brushes her fingers through her hair.
"But I just want to help you..."

"You can't help me." Sarré pushes herself backwards. "Just... stay.... away...."
She buries her face in her hands again, sobbing silently.

Tianara doesn't try to move closer to Sarré, as she backs away. No reason to encourage her to move further away from her.
"Why can't I help you?"

Sarré looks at her with her pale green eyes. Looks directly into the other woman's eyes.
"Because you are dead. You are all dead. If you come near me, you are dead... just dead... lifeless.... He will kill you.... eat your soul...."

"I'm here now, am I not?" Tianara looks at her seriously.
"And I'm very much alive, Sarré" She runs her fingers through her hair.
"No one will kill me, just because I'm sitting here with you"

"He will." Sarré startles by the other Padawan's movement and tries to get to her feet. "He will suck the life out of you.... eat your soul... throw you away... like some... dead thing...."

a few pieces of the puzzle is slowly getting in place in Tianara's head. Suck the life out of her. Eat her soul. Sounds like... She narrows her eyes just a bit, trying to remember what she knows of Sarré's past.
"No, no, Sarré. He wont...He wont come her. There's too many of us here. He wouldn't dare" She makes sure she's sitting perfectly still.
"Please, let me bring you back to the temple..."

"He said that he would kill Chapaa'ai." Sarré gets to her feet, taking a few steps away from the Padawan.

Tianara stays on the ground, shaking her head slowly.
"He wont...he can't. He's not nowhere near Coruscant at the moment" She tilts her head, looking up at Sarré.
"You really like Master Chapaa'ai, don't you?"

Sarré stops. She looks down at the other Padawan, but not really seeing her. "I do not want him to die."

"He wont die..." Tianara slowly gets to her feet, looking at Sarré with a kind expression in her eyes.
"But he's really sad that you're gone. And scared of what might happen to you"

Sarré takes a few steps back again. She shakes her head. "Go. Away. I do not like you."

"No...no, please stay..." Tianara can't really hide the desperation in her eyes. Chapaa'ai will not be pleased if she to tell him that, yes, she found Sarré, but no, she could not bring her back...
"Please, I didn't wish to upset you..."

"Leave me alone." Sarré takes another couple of steps back. "I will not come back. Never."
She begins to turn, to run away again.

"Sarré" Tianara reaches out her hand, by pure instinct. Not to grab Sarré, she's too far away for that. But to... calm her?
"Please, you can't run with that foot of yours..."

"It's just broken." Sarré looks at Tianara over her shoulder. "I can run anyway."

Tianara bites her lip. There's no doubt in her mind she'd be able to outrun Sarré, not with that foot. But if she could avoid the chase through the streets of Coruscant that would be wonderful.
"Doesn't it hurt?" stalling, stalling....

"I can't feel it." Sarré takes a step forward, increasing the distance between herself and the other Padawan. "I do not want to be here anymore."
