Attached to the General Store, in the same room, is a cafeteria known as the Green Moon Cafe. It has a very forest-y look, all decorated in wood, and it serves a variety of both local and intergalactic foods and beverages. There are several tables in the cafe to accommodate customers.

On a morning very much like any morning at the Forest Moon of Endor, the Green Moon Cafe filled up with the morning group of weary Shadows returning from their missions, and late-night watch Phantom Troopers finishing their rounds with a good cup of joe and some laughs. For a small moon whose only human residents consisted solely of the Jedi Shadows and their Enclave security force counterparts, the small cafe was unusually lively.
In the back corner, by a large window, sat Zalor Anneri and three of his companions: Vincent, Asha and Freyyr the Wookiee. Zalor's droid, R2-D4, sits on the floor plugged into the wall next to them. The back corner table had become an unofficial meeting place for Zalor's team of companions, and it had seemed that, while the full group hadn't yet arrived, Zalor had already called together a small meeting...
=Vincent= "So, we don't even know how big this Red Fang mountain base is they're talking about is yet?"
=Zalor= "It's big enough. And they know where this Enclave is. I'd bet if they had the mind to, they'd be setting up for a major offensive to wipe us out in one swift blow. The fact that they haven't yet is a bit unnerving."
=Vincent= "They've staked us out. Tried to pick us off one by one with their scout groups. Maybe they've got something bigger planned, and they're just trying to bide their time."
=Asha= The Twi'lek girl didn't seem to pay any attention to the discussion between the leader of their fellowship and the mercenary that had befriended them. She was too busy tinkering with what appeared to be a small spy droid.

Having finished her early morning exercises with her Jedi Master, the lethan Twi'lek girl walked into the cafe alongside a few other Jedi. She had intended to go to the Droid and Vehicle Maintenance Garage to continue working on her swoop bike, but she had received a message from Zalor, asking her to meet him and the others in their usual spot in the cafe. So, she did as she was asked.
Tanara approaches the table with her friends, and sits down beside her sister. She directs her attention to her boyfriend first.
=Tanara= "Vince, I'm surprised to see you up this early. I thought for sure you'd still be snoring away, so that I could go wake you up with a bunch of kisses."
She gives him a sweet smile, then moves her attention to her little sister. She gives the younger Twi'lek a light hug.
"Whatcha working on Asha?"

=Vincent= Vincent took off his black cloak and draped it around the chair he was sitting on as he smiled at Tanara... "Good morning, beautiful. You're just in time. It seems Zalor has deemed it necessary to get the old strike team all in the same room together again. Personally, not the brightest idea for 0800 hours in the morning. You know how Sayra is when she hasn't had her coffee."
=Asha= "Oh, hi Tanara! I'm putting together my new little spy droid. Isn't he cute?" The droid was very tiny, no bigger than a holocron box, and had one circular lens for an eye. Eight small spider-like legs were attached to its body, and it had a tiny satellite dish protruding from the top of its head. It was the smallest probe droid Tanara had likely ever seen. "I'm calling him 'Snitch.' He's going to be the best multi-purpose, all-terrain, built-from-scratch recon droid ever made."
=R2-D4= [Beep-whirl-click-beep-beep] Zalor's astromech droid didn't seem to approve of the idea.
=Asha= Asha giggled at the droid's reaction... "Artoo's jealous. And I haven't even finished him yet."

The older Twi'lek girl giggles and turns to look at the cute blue and white astromech droid.
=Tanara= "Oh, Artooie. You know you're irreplaceable to us all."
She turns to face the group and gently rubs her sister's back.
"He's definitely gonna be one cute droid when you're through with him."
Normally, Tanara would have asked if Asha wanted help with the droid. Lately however, Asha seemed to want to work on her various projects by herself. The lethan Twi'lek girl wasn't sure why her sister was being more distant with her work, but she wouldn't press the issue. If Asha ever wanted help, Tanara knew she'd ask for it.
Tanara's eyes flick back to Vincent, amusement clearly sparkles behind her bright blue iris's.
"You should have seen her earlier, Vince. I saw her in the training room having an intense duel with Master Steel. She was just wailing on him, clearly upset about something."
Tanara flicks her eyes over to regard Zalor.
"Any idea why, Zal?"

=Zalor= Zalor shrugged after he shot a surprised look at Tanara. He had not yet spoken with her that morning, but she felt rather upset, and it confused him. "I haven't a clue, to be honest. She might just be anxious about finally launching an offensive against the Red Fang. I mentioned it to her last night, and she seemed excited. I just hope she doesn't use all that anxiousness in the wrong way."
=Vincent= "The mercenary chuckled at Zalor's comment... I'd think it should be the Red Fang who should be worried, not us."
=Evan= In his typical, fashionably-late style, Evan Azzameen walked through the doors of the Cafe. He was fully dressed in his usual freighter pilot outfit, and almost everyone noticed how unusually upbeat and awake he was for it being so early, as he walked with a confident swagger, wore a content smile on his face, and twirled his DL-44 pistol around his right finger.

*Ellie gave a bow to Master Kei'takao and followed after her sister. Once they were a distance away, she answered Kaiyas question.* "I'll tell him what I told you. There's no use in lying about it. Besides, what's the worse they could do to us?" *She oddly enough didn't really want an answer to that question. Pausing for a moment, she turned to her sister.* "So..you really don't remember anything?"
Kaiya nods with a somewhat strained smile when Ellie asks rhetorically what the worst is that might happen to them, shrugging and trying for a bit of levity as she says, "We'll find out not too long from now, won't we? A pensive frown surfaces on Kaiya's face when Ellie asks whether she remembers anything, and a moment spent searching her memories later, Kaiya shakes her head and says, I really don't vod. I remember leaving for Ryloth with my Master to try and find out why you and your Master had not checked in, and I remember arriving in orbit over Ryloth . . . after that though, everything is just . . . blank. Biting her lower lip, frustrated at missing so large a part of her memory, Kaiya shakes her head and says without conviction, Maybe it will come back to me, and then smiles weakly as she realizes, Or maybe it's better that I've forgotten," thinking that missing the memories of what the slaver had done to her might be a blessing in disguise.
"There they are, a deep voice says cheerily, I'd recognize those voices anywhere, the owner of the deep voice says as he rounds a corner. Honon is accompanied by his sister Kateri, a seventeen year old Korun with an orange mohawk, and he hugs Kaiya and then Ellie as he says, I knew you'd both make it back. Resting a hand on Ellie's shoulder, Honon tells her, I'm so sorry about your Master."
"He is one with the Force now, Kateri says, having come to embrace the Jedi view of death as but a door leading to the next stage of one's journey. Smiling as she pushes her brother aside gently, Kateri tells Ellie, But I know that probably makes it no easier for you now. I hope, in time, it will come to comfort you."
"Alright, geez, enough of that sis', Honon says, shoving his sister aside playfully as he says, Let's go grab a table. Are you guys hungry?"

*Ellie frowned some when her sister said that she couldn't remember anything after arriving on Ryloth. She'd tell her everything that happened there, hopefully Kaiya would eventually remember something. Her train of thought was broken at the sound of a familiar voice. Looking up she saw Honon and Kateri coming over to greet them. The sight of her friends made her smile, and made her feel better about being back. She returned Honons hug and almost laughed about it. Her smile turned into a frown as both Honon and Kateri gave their condolences about her master. She only gave a small nod and mumbled a thank you, this was a wound she didn't feel like opening right now.*
*Her stomach almost growled at the thought of food. How long had it been since she had actually eaten anything?* "Yes, I could defiantly do with something to eat." *She followed after Honon and Kateri, bracing herself for the inevitable barrage of questions that were soon going to follow. Ellie sat down at an empty booth on the far side of the cafe. She remained silent for a few minutes. Before she had been excited to see her friends, but now, she didn't know what to say. She drummed her fingers on the table for a moment as she scanned the cafe.* So...what exactly has happened since we've been gone?"

"Great! Honon says enthusiastically when Ellie confirms that she is hungry. Rapping his knuckles on a free table, Honon asks, What do you all want? I'll go and grab it while Kat fills you in on all that you missed," then heads off to get what the others ask for once they have asked for it.
"I'll have besnian sausages with orange madeira sauce," Kateri tells her brother, waiting for the others to place their orders to answer Ellie's question.
Crinkling her nose as she tries to think of what she wants, Kaiya settles on, "Gi dumpling soup with haarshun bread, or, she adds in case the cafe does not have Mandalorian food on the menu, what Kat is having if they don't have the soup. After Ellie has ordered and Honon has gone off to get everything, Kaiya rests her elbows on the table and asks their friend, So, let's hear about what's been happening here."
Reaching up to brush a strand of orange hair that has fallen free from her mohwak back into place, Kateri sighs and, with a look that reveals how awkward she finds the first subject she will be speaking of, says, "Well, the biggest news is that we survived an attack by the, um, well, by the Mandalorians. Rubbing the tip of her nose, Kateri explains, I don't know if you heard about it while you were gone, but the Mand'alor declared a crusade against Force users, and led the Mandalorians in a series of attacks on both the Jedi and the Sith. Letting that sink in, Kateri continues with a grave expression, We got lucky, only a small force was sent against the enclave here. Two Knights and a Master fell in the battle, and we had many wounded, but we repelled the attack. Honon and I participated in the defense alongside our Masters, Kateri says, more gravity than pride accompanying her next statement, We were both deemed to have passed our Trial of Courage. After the biggest bit of news has been shared, Kateri goes on to describe other matters - the elevation of a Padawan they all know to Knighthood, a few tidbits of gossip about a few new learners that have joined the enclave, the details of an interesting assignment or two that members of the enclave had been sent on, and so forth - until her brother returns with their food. Now it's your turn, Kateri tells Ellie and Kaiya, what took you so long to return?"
Kaiya, after congratulating their friends on the passing of their Trials and letting Kat know that there is no need for her to feel awkward about speaking of the Mandalorian crusades since both she and Ellie consider themselves Jedi first and foremost, dips a piece of her haarshun bread into her soup to make it soften as she looks over at Ellie with an awkward smile, her missing memories making it obvious that, "You'll have to tell that story vod," hoping that hearing it again and in more detail might prompt her memories to return.

*Ellie had indeed heard of the newest Mandalorian crusade, almost getting caught in the crossfire herself on Ryloth. She congratulated Kateri on passing their trials, and also to Honon for bringing her something to eat. When Kaiya said that she was going to have to tell the story, Ellie gave her a sideways glance, feeling a pit form in her stomach. She hesitated for a moment before speaking.* "Well...Master Kowen and I got shot down over Ryloth, that's what started the whole thing. After we crashed, Master Kowen was killed and....I was taken captive." *Thinking back on it, she could almost feel the slaver collar still around her neck.* "Kaiya and Master Kei'takao rescued me from the slavers, it wasn't exactly a fun experience believe me, I still have the scars. Shortly after we were separated in the tunnels under the city. I'm not exactly sure what happened during that time, but a group of slavers got a hold of Kaiya. Turns out this group of slavers were actually part of a group of Sith. They were going around capturing force users as part of their army, or something like that. I eventually tracked them down, but they escaped. Not after I had a bad run in with their leader. He nearly killed me, cut my lightsaber in half."
*Ellie paused for a moment. She wasn't exactly sure how her friends would take all this information, or how much detail she should give at one time.* "I spent a day or so on Ryloth before I found a ship and got off planet. From there I ran into a group of mercenaries who were hunting slavers, which was good on my part because they were willing to help. We tracked the Sith to Felucia where they had taken over an abandon base from the clone wars. The mercenaries and I laid siege to the base, killing a good number of these Sith in the process, but we also lost a lot of people to. I found Kaiya in a cell along with other force users. She was in some kind of force coma, I'm still not sure what it was exactly. After that I left Feucia, and let the Force guide e to where I needed to go. Which ended up being Bimmisaari. There I found a Twi'lek named Sienn, who was able to wake Kaiya." *Ellie gave a shrug as she ended her story.* "That's the basics of it. There's a lot of gaps in between, but I can fill in where necessary."

As Kaiya listens to her twin recount what had happened on Ryloth, she feels her memories stir, fleeting images accompanied by a cacophony of sounds flickering strobically through her mind - her Master fighting alongside a group of Twi'leks armed with blasters; Ellie crouched beside her behind a crate with an E-11 carbine rather in hand than her lightsaber; a small red-skinned Twi'lek with a missing lekku plunging a curved knife into the neck of a human male - briefly before they fade back into the depths of her mind. Shaking her head, Kaiya lifts a hand to rub her temple as Ellie finishes her story, the sounds of blaster and repeater fire still seeming to echo in her mind.
Kateri puts a hand on Kaiya's shoulder and asks her, "Are you alright? Patting Kaiya's shoulder when she answers with a shake of her head, Kateri looks unconvinced but turns her attention to Ellie, saying, Thank the Force you both survived. It must have been horrific to have gone through all that alone after losing your Master. I don't know if I would have been able to . . ."
Honon, not wanting to make Ellie dwell on her ordeal, talks over his sister in an attempt to prevent the mood from turning dour, cheerfully saying, "Well, they were able to get through it, and now they're back, so I say we celebrate that. Lifting his glass of blue milk, Honon says, To the return of friends once thought lost, then crinkles his nose as he says, or something like that."
Smiling and lifting her own glass as she elbows her brother, Kateri says, "I think he means he's happy that you are both back and unharmed."
Kaiya manages a smile, thinking that unharmed is a relative term and of her twin's unobservable wounds that will need time to heal, as she says, "To being back home."

*Out of the corner of her eyes, Ellie saw her sister rubbing her temple. She knew her sister wouldn't say what was wrong until later when Kateri and Honon weren't around. Ellie rolled her eyes at Honons dramatic toast. She was glad to be home, but she wondered for how long. After all the Sith were still out there doing force knows what. Raising her glass, she gave a silent toast. As she drank she had a sudden urge for something stronger then what was in her hand. Pushing the thought from her mind, she set the glass down and looked between her friends.* "So, now that you've come one step closer to becoming a Jedi knight while we were gone. That must mean you've learned some new things, right?" *She gave a sideways glance at her twin. Maybe if they kept themselves busy, then they could finally clear their minds a little.*

Honon nods, then shrugs, pursing his lips in thought as he says, "Not new things so much as furthering our understanding of all that we've learned . . ."
Interrupting her brother, Kateri interjects, "That and refining the techniques we have . . ."
Interrupting his sister, Honon asks, "Isn't that what I said?"
Kateri frowns, shaking her head as she asserts, "Not really. You were talking about . . ."
Holding up her hands with a laugh, Kaiyi says, "I think we understand what you both mean, don't worry. You've learned more in depth what it means to be a Jedi, and you've further honed the skills a Jedi Padawan must possess before they are made a Knight?"
Honon nods, smiling as he points to Kaiya and says, "That's exactly what I was trying to say."
Rolling her eyes, Kateri elbows her brother in the side playfully and then asks Ellie and Kaiya, "You have both probably also learned much, and sharpened your skills during your journey, right?"
Kaiya nods pensively, thinking that she has probably learned more of what it is to be a Jedi that actually honed her skills; being incapacitated and losing her memories of what exactly had happened prior to her capture prevents her from gauging whether she had the chance to hone her skills, and she suspects that Ellie, having been through so much more than she, may have been called on to hone her skills more sharply as well as have learned more of what being a Jedi means to her.

*Ellie rolled her eyes at Kateri and Honon. To her it seemed like they enjoyed arguing with each other.* "A lot quicker then I expected, ins some cases, more then I wanted to." *Ellie felt a sudden pit in her stomach she couldn't quite explain. She decided it was time to quickly change the subject.* "So, did you see that I found a ship? I'm defiantly keeping it to."

Honon shakes his head, "No, I hadn't heard. I mean, I guess it makes sense though. Your ship was sh. . . "
Kateri interrupts her brother before he can bring up a subject that she is sure Ellie would prefer not to revisit, asking, "What kind of ship?"
Kaiya, fairly sure that her sister had introduced the subject of her ship to avoid any further discussion about what they had gone through while away from the academy, yet not sure what kind of ship it is that her sister had found, shrugs to indicate that she does not know the answer, then looks over at Ellie so she can answer the question.

*Ellie knew that Honon didn't have to finish that sentence, or have his sister stop him. She knew what happened to the other ship.* "It got shot down, yes, I know. The ship I have now though, is a amphibious interstellar assault transport. Pretty much just a large gunship. It may not be the best looking thing, but it's survived so far and got me where I needed to go."

"Nice! Honon says enthusiastically as he finishes his meal and wipes his hands on a napkin, You'll have to give us a tour or a ride in it sometime!"
Rolling her eyes, Kateri takes a sip of her drink as she asks, "What do you guys have planned for the rest of the day?"
Shrugging her shoulders while glancing over at her twin to see if she has any thoughts on the subject, Kaiya says, "Nothing really. We're to meet with Master Kei'takao tomorrow to give him a report about what happened after we were separated, but he's given us the rest of today off."

*Ellie gave a small laugh at Honons comment.* "A tour, yes. I'm not really sure about a ride though, it depends if any of the Masters allow it, or what happens after tomorrow." *She turned to her sister and gave her a nervous look.* "Which is something I'm not looking forward to." *Since they left the hangar. She wondered what would happen to her and her sister if the council was displeased with their actions. Would they be expelled? If so, then where would they go.* "I just want to find something to distract myself with."

Honon nods, a sympathetic frown on his face, when Ellie explains she isn't looking forward to the report she and her sister will be making the following day. Wanting to be helpful when Ellie says that what she really wants at the moment is a distraction, Honon smiles and suggests, "We could have a four-way duel in the training room, or two separate duels if you two would rather do that instead."
Rubbing her eyes as though embarrassed by her brother, Kateri says, "Not everyone finds dueling as diverting as you. We could . . ."
Groaning and looking upwards, Honon pleads, "Not meditation, please don't tell me you're going to suggest meditation. It puts me to sleep most of . . ."
Kaiya laughs at the siblings, used to their customary constant bantering back-and-forth. As they continue to go back and forth Kaiya leans forward to tell her twin, "I'm game for either the dueling or the meditation. With another laugh, she admits, Or anything other than sitting around and worrying really. I'd even consider jogging or Broken Gate practice. What are you in the mood for? Nodding her head towards their friends, who are still bickering, Kaiya says, I'm sure they're up for anything, but if you'd rather not have them around I'm sure they'd understand."

*Ellie's ears perked up at the sound of a duel. She leaned towards her sister as Kateri and Honon argued.* "I think I could due with some dueling. That might tire me out enough so I can sleep good tonight." *She slapped her hands on the table in an enthusiastic manner.* "Alright. I'm game for a duel. But, I'll let you decide who's going against who. Sound good?:
