| It was a day or two after the pair had run from Chandrila. Jalaila was pleasantly surprised to find one of her suitcases tucked into one of the rooms with her favorite things in it, almost as if he had planned for her to be there eventually. Maybe he hadn't, but she liked to think that he did want her there. He was furious though, she knew that and had tried to avoid him as much as possible for that very reason. In her mind, there was no way they could be the same after all of that. She had betrayed him, after all. Still, Jalaila wanted to at least try to explain. And she had decided that she would tell him everything.
Quietly, she would finally approach the man in the cockpit. "He Force choked me, you know. Broke a few ribs, and my arm...collarbone...." she started before she slid into the co-pilots seat, unsure if he would really care. "He actually said he wouldn't kill me, and that if I didn't bring what he wanted, he would do much worse." With a sigh, she continued. "Maybe I should have let him, then you could still be there doing what you need to be doing instead of running. I guess it was selfish of me. I am probably not cut out for being a rebel."
"I just thought that you should know." Jalaila said quietly. "The Inquisitor has the evidence I was taking to him. I dropped it when you tackled me and I couldn't get to it before you pulled me out to go to the ship. I'm sorry. And I guess if you want me to get off at Nar Shadda, I totally understand. I can figure it out from there." She forced a small smile, though it was very fake. "But I do love you, if that still means anything."

| He pondered on how quickly his life had taken a turn. Tremaine was hoping to leave the Senate on his own bid. But the circumstances Jalaila, or you could say Inquisitor Thanatos, had forced upon made him leave. Even if he hadn't killed three stormtoopers, he would still be arrested and brought before the Emperor regardless. In a way, Jalaila had also saved his life by showing up at Ilanah's place unexpectedly.
Tremaine never minded becoming a full-time rebel. It was something he wanted to do for a log time. The only reason he was mad was because his fiancee ha betrayed him. While they were still in hyperspace en route to Nar Shaddaa, the lady had barges into the cockpit. She would proceed to interrupt his thoughts. As she was trying to explain her situation, he remain angry at her. At least he understood why she did it. Inquisitors had a knack for manipulation. Either through threat of worse treatment than death or through mind tricks. The Telosian was betting he was important enough for Kal to want to threaten his lady. Oddly, he was flattered by that.
Normally, Jedi would be at the top of an Inquisitor's priority. He turned to look at Jalaila. "Well, you could have sacrificed your life for the rebellion. I know I would. But I don't blame you. You aren't a soldier. You were never a soldier. You don't have their mentality. Before you met me, the most important thing in life were deciding between a pair of shoes and a purse." It may sound like an offense, but he didn't meant to he. Tremaine was still angry, so he was usually very direct. "If there's one thing I don't do, it's leaving people behind. Kal is going to know that I killed those troopers and that you left with me. If I let you go, he's going to do unimaginable things to you. You have no choice but to be a rebel."
The former Senator would speak a little more before the beeping came on. "Now, we're going to Nar Shaddaa. We buy a few weapons and a new ship. Maybe a new set of clothes. Then we blow this ship up before going to the rendezvous point."

| Jalaila squeezed her eyes shut briefly. The only things she had to worry about before were shoes and purses? So was that what he really thought of her this entire time? It seemed so. Her intelligence or the fact that she had held a rather important job was no longer a factor.
"Yeah. I guess sacrificing myself would have been the better option." She finally said, without even glancing to the man. "I guess it would have been a good testament of love and devotion." She said, considering what he said. He was right though, she wasn't and would never be a soldier. So letting Kal kill her would have been best for everyone. Then no one would know what he was doing....yet.
With a sigh, Jalaila stood, and finally glanced to him. "Just let me know what you need me to do."

| He looked at Jalaila, "No, you gotta tell me what you want to do to help the Libs out. Speaking of which, I'm going to buy you a gun. You're going to need it when the Empire are fighting our rebellion." The former Senator looked at his fiancee, "Don't worry, I'll get over it eventually." Tremaine tried hard to show a smile in order to assure her. "Do you have clothes that would blend into the people of Nar Shaddaa? We're going to need stealth in order to get what we need."
That was when a beeping came on. They had reached Nar Shaddaa. Tremaine would drop the ship out of hyperspace. "Go get changed. I'll change when we land."

| "I've never been to Nar Shadda, so I don't know." Jalaila responded, with a hint of exasperation in her voice. He didn't seem to understand, or just wouldn't accept her apology. What she had done, at the time, seemed to be the only option that she had. Aside from death, and that was something she was not ready for.
"A gun? Really? That might not be the best idea." She murmured to him before she moved behind the seat. "I don't think there is anything I can do to help. Don't you think I've done enough damage?" Jalaila asked him as she leaned on the seat briefly. She then shook her head.
"Never mind. I'll go change." She moved off to the room she had been (trying to) sleep in the past couple of days, and dug through her bag and found a pair of tan pants and a plain white button down shirt and some brown boots to change into. She also found a brown jacket to match the boots and pulled it on after she had changed clothes.

| "The reason you need a gun now is because every Imperial in the galaxy will be looking to either arrest or execute you. You are a rebel now whether we like it or not." He began to calm himself once he had the shuttle landed, and changed into a white t-shirt with a red jacket. There was a blue jeans with a holster holding a heavy pistol like he was a smuggler. Tremaine further concealed his identity by wearing a hat. Once he had calmed himself down, he was able to talk to Jalaila more comfortably. "I'm going back to the battlefield full-time. How do you feel about that?"
He asked while activating the self-destruct sequence but did not start yet, not without a remote of which would be hidden away into his pocket. This way, he can explode his ship when everything's set to go.

| She pulled her hair back and braided it as he spoke to her while he changed. "Do I have a choice?" Jalaila asked, regarding his question about going back to the battlefield. She didn't, really, so she wasn't sure why he asked. He would do what he wanted, and she had no choice but be fine with that.
Jalaila picked up her bag and slung it over her shoulder before she glanced to him. "Youre never going to forgive me, are you Tremaine?" she finally asked.

| He would look at Jalaila for a moment, "I will forgive you. Just give me time to move on from this. Being mad is only half of what oh know. I'm also mad because I knew this would happen someday. That the Empire was going to use you against me. It isn't entirely your fault." The Telosian would walk off the ship and headed for the ship dealership first, before they would go for food, weapons, and clothes.

| She sighed as she watched him walk away. Of course, she didn't feel like it was her fault at all, but it seemed he needed to place blame. Eventually, she would follow him off of the ship, and slid her sunglasses on. The best thing she though she could do would be to just get lost somewhere here...but her immediate assessment was that it was just....gross.
She would keep herself a few steps behind Tremaine, lost in her own thoughts. Of course she was upset too, but there was nothing that could be done about any of it. Until he was over it, if ever, she would just do as she was told.

| Tremaine wouldn't talk about rebel activities while on Nar Shaddaa. You never know who's around to listen. He would juz blend into the crowd until he spotted a ship dealership. It sells mostly freighters. So they got those famous Corellian ones. The Telosian decided to go for the YT-1300 and would learn to upgrade the ship as time goes on. Plus Jalaila would be with him most of the time for the time being. He might have a crew onboard for most of his rebellion adventures, organic or droid.
He thought about it and would ask Jalaila, "Do you think the Seps would let me buy a few of their droids?" Whispered Tremaine.

| She would simply shrug as she joined back up with him. Jalaila had wandered off while he was buying a ship and weapons (or she thought) and bought him some clothes. Nothing fancy, utilitarian-esque. Perfect for what he needed, she thought. "I don't know anything about separatists." She admitted. "Only what I heard from other people...that they're bad."
She glanced up at the ship he had chosen and finally looked to him. "Home?" She asked before she looked back to it, wondering if that was where they were going to be residing for now.

| Tremaine gota new ship for both of them. "It'll have to do for now. We aren't going to stay in one place too long." He would then tell Jalaila to casually move things from the shuttle to the freighter, of which he would pay the dealer to bring it over to the same hangar bay. Meanwhile, he proceeded to purchase an A280 blaster rifle for himself. Tremaine already knew Jalaila wasn't the soldier type, so a pair of light and fast-draw pistols would do for her. So, he got her a pair of KYD-21 blaster pistols.
Tremaine would then buy a suitcase, before buying a bundle of clothes for himself. Those clothes were to be put into the new suitcase. The Telosian wanted to look like the rest of the Libs. He wasn't sure if Jalaila wanted to dress like she's one of the rebels though.

| She tossed the clothes she had purchased for him in the suitcase also before she glanced to him. "I didn't figure we would." She murmured as she packed his bag for him. It was the least she could do, as she felt pretty useless otherwise. "You said we...." Jalaila said a moment later. "Like we're staying together?" She questioned as she finished folding and packing the bag for him.
A moment later she cleared her throat and turned her attention to the other bags that were on the bed. A few things for her. They weren't quite as soldier-ish as his were, but she had chosen more comfortable, neutral items.

| Tremaine simply nodded at Jalaila, "Indeed. Only because you haven't find a perfect role for you in the Libs." That was when he turned away to go get the basic necessities that they would need for the duration of the trip. Jalaila could come with him if she chose to, but he wouldn't be gone for long. With the food in place, the only thing left was to head over to the hangar bay where their new ship would be at.

| Jalaila nodded and just did what he needed her to do, staying carefully out of his way so she wouldn't upset him further. finally, she mustered up the courage to ask. "That's not what I meant by staying together, Tremaine. I meant like...us. Not...the Libs." She said as she dragged her suitcase on board the new ship.
She would deposit the suitcase in the lounge area, then go back down the ramp to help get whatever else needed to be brought on board.
