| It had been a long while since he had set foot on a desert planet, it was a good thing though that the Outer Rim worlds were still difficult for the Empire to put in their place and fully patrol, leaving Tatooine a lawless world at the fringe of the Galaxy, with only the rarest of Stormtrooper patrols. Unlike most shuttles and vessels from to and from the desert world, this one was different, a Punworcca 116 class interstellar sloop, a solar sail letting it arrive at Tatooine and land without being detected, which was a boon for the Separatist General. The vessel slowly came down through the atmosphere, landing in an old and private docking bay to ensure his privacy. He was there to pick up a woman, a special one, and he didnt want any prying eyes watching him. Of course it didnt hurt to have some form of guard for the vessel, as apparent by the B2 battle droids that stood silently in the back of the ship.
Rall stood up and stretched a bit, his old bones creaking as he stepped off the shuttle and looked around. He knew exactly where she was, though it would take some time to get to the cantina through the back alleys of the world, a task which he'd be able to do as he patted the blaster at his side before stepping into the shadows and disappearing from sight, not though any cloaking or force means mind you. It was something about the shadows that caused people to not want to believe that they saw something moving just beyond their sight.

| Cassi had contacted Rall's ship and left him the coordinates as to where she was on Tattooine. Some scumbag motel and cantina on the outskirts of Mos Eisley. she was doing the best she could, considering. The medkit she had taken from the Jedi's ship only contained so much, and she couldn't get the wound through her shoulder to heal up. It would need some major repair work, more than she could do herself at least.
It was starting to get to her, being holed up there, bu she didn't want to risk going out too much, especially not during the day. So for the moment, she just waited for that good for nothing employer of hers to send a ship to pick her up. He would when he could, she knew that. He may have been a separatist, but he at least took care of the people that worked for him....as long as they stayed loyal at least.
So for the moment, she just waited.

| Rall pulled out a small datapad, looking at the address that was on it as he looked across the street, the small cantina resting next to the motel, which as luck would have it would have been the exact same idea that Rall would have had for a place to hide out at. He was cautious though, not wanting to expose himself or his employee, a safety hazard if there ever was one. Just because stormtroopers weren't around, didn't mean that bounty hunters and snitches for them weren't. As he scoped out the location for a few more moments he found a back door, letting him slip in undetected as he walked out from the back into a dark corner, taking a good look at the entire room first before he stepped over to the doors that separated the cantina from the motel.
Stepping into the lobby he was still cautious, keeping out of the frame of the security cameras in the cantina as he managed to find his way to the stairs. Now was the difficult part, finding her room, which his employee didn't seem to be keen on putting in the information she sent as well.

| No, she hadn't thought to put the room number in her message, but he still would not have an issue finding her. After a while, the pain she was in got to be too much, and the painkillers in the medkit were gone, so she slung a jacket on and slipped from her room. Cass paused at her door as she locked it, taking care to make sure it was actually locked, more than once.
Cassia rested her palm on her wounded shoulder and pressed on the bandages for a moment to make the pain subside before she turned to go down the hallway. Rall would likely see her as she was walking away, towards the front set of stairs.

| Noticing her from the corner of his eye as he turned down the hall, it was the hair that gave it away, the same hair he saw from behind which made him hire her in the first place, it was noticeable to those that took the time to admire the fierce waves and curls that it had. He quickly and cautiously closed the gap between them, just in case it wasnt her. He took notice int he fact that the woman had held her shoulder, obviously in pain, and making the effort to reach out and lightly touch her other shoulder which wasn't injured. Rall slowly turned the young woman around and lightly pulled her away from the stairs and into a small side room that was open for guest to get ice, though it was clear that the machine hadn't worked in ages.
Rall peeked out into the hall for a moment to make sure no one had been watching, his hand now lightly clasped over Cassia's mouth to keep her quiet before he looked at her. "How's the shoulder"

| When Cassia felt the hand on her shoulder, she moved immediately to turn and hit whomever was touching her. Likely an enemy, what she didn't expect was an ally. She groaned when Rall covered her mouth and pulled her into the alcove. With her hand, she pushed his hand away. "I got shot and have been waiting on you for too long. How do you think it feels?" She snapped. The pain in her eyes was evident, though she was struggling to cover it up.
Cassi let herself lean back against the derelict ice machine, though her move to it was not graceful at all and she made a loud thump as she fell back. She was surprised he had come himself, and was expecting one of the usual lackeys that he sent when it came to retrieval. "What are you doing here?"

| "Well for one thing, helping you." He reached into one of the pockets and pulled out a small tube, pulling the tip from it to reveal a needle that he promptly stabbed into her thigh. In moments the medigel and morphine combination would quickly dull the pain away and more than likely cause her to lose her footing and stance more. "Which room are you in?" He threw the used needle into a nearby canister, which was filled with them, no doubt this wasn't the best of places to stay. "Lets get you to a bed to lay down, that'll kick in soon and kick you off your ass." He moved to hold her up as he carried her down the hall, making it look more like she was drunk and he was just helping her to her room if anyone came across them.

| She didn't expect him to job the needle into her thigh and drug her up. It did kick in quickly and suddenly she found herself unable to stand on her own. "208...." Cassi mumbled before she slumped against him and let him carry her. It was not like she had a choice in the matter. It was either that or lay on the cracked tile floor right there in the hallway.
As he took her into the room, she smirked. "Bed. You have to drug all your women to get them into bed." Clearly, she was under the influence of the morphine now, and didn't know what she was saying or really whom she was saying it to.

| "Only the ones that can kick this old mans ass." Rall quickly replied as he pushed her door open and carried her into the room. He was careful as he lay her down on the bed before he went to the door and closed it, locking it and checking before he grabbed a chair and propped it up, the back of it pressed against the handle to keep anyone from entering even if they picked the lock. Of course still being cautious he moved the dresser closer to the door to be pushed into place if needed. Rall grabbed the other chair in the room, swinging it around and sitting in it as he looked at Cassia.
"Alright lets see it." He slowly undid her jacket and slipped it off, looking at the bandages on her wound and lightly lifting them up to see how bad it was. "Well good news is, you wont lose the arm. At least not like I did." He gave a small smile as he pulled out a pack and began to apply the new medigel he brought with him and redress the bandages.

| Cassia tried to sit up and help him with removing her coat so that he could look at the wound. It was badly cared for enough that the red burns had branched out, indicating that it was infected on top of everything else. She did the best that she could with what she had to work with at the time. Her blood could have easily been infected on top of that, but they wouldn't know that until they got to a real medic.
"No one is going to come after you here. No one cares." she murmured as she indicated to the safety measures that he had put into place. "This place is a pit." she said as she dropped her head woozily back against the pillow.

| "It doesn't mean it gives me an excuse to be sloppy and get killed after I came all this way out to pick you up." He lay her back down the moment she attempted to sit up, not wanting her to strain herself. As he looked at the wound he sighed, seeing how bad it had gotten. "I'll be investing in better health packs for you and the others after this." He was a rarity in the Separatist hierarchy, one that actually did give a damn about what happened to his people. So much so that he wasn't willing to take an unnecessary risk if it meant the wide spread death of his forces.
He pulled out a small spay bottle, an anti-bacterial as he sprayed it on the wound, helping to reduce the swelling and the redness that the infection was causing. He also pulled out another needle, one more sticking it into her thigh. "That's just a precaution to help with anything blood born until we get you back."

| "Dammit will you stop doing that!" she yelled as he stabbed another needle full of medication into her leg. She hated needles as it was, but the constant assault with them wasn't helping. The medication made her queasy, so she laid back down at his insistence. With a sigh, she turned her gaze to Rall finally.
"The med packs are good. I lost mine so I had to steal one from a Jedi." she said, wondering how he would react to that. "A Jedi and his girlfriend."

| Rall was one of the few Separatist to realize that they couldn't keep seeing the Jedi as an enemy, after all they had been betrayed as well by the same people that had once commanded the Republic and Confederacy to begin the war. He sighed as he finished redressing her wound, making sure it was dry and tight against her skin, yet could still breath as he lay a pillow under her shoulder.
"I thought the Jedi were into that whole, no relations thing. Or did that change when they all fell apart." He wondered as he leaned back in the seat and looked to Cassia as he stood up and walked to the window, pulling the blinds closed.

| She sighed as she leaned back against the pillows. "I don't know. I could care less, really." She said. "i caught a lift with them off of that planet and they dropped me off here. sorry about your shuttle, by the way." Cassia wasn't really sorry. It was all part of the cause and she had sacrificed it to do her job.
"We need to get out of here." though she noted that he seemed to be settling in as he closed the blinds.

| "I can sacrifice a simple shuttle, I cant sacrifice people." He walked back to Cassia as he helped her up, pulling her jacket back on as he slid her out of the bed. "Then we best get moving." He walked to the door and slid the chair from its place, unlocking it before he slowly opened it and checked the hall, making sure the coast was clear before looking back to Cassia. "Lets get going."
His hand instinctivly dropped to his side to keep the possibility of grabbing his blaster, in case he needed it.
