figuring his way around a place like this was harder than he had anticipated. he was trying to keep a positive outlook on everything, especially considering the whole getting a second chance at life sort of deal. "seems like a bit of overkill to be carrying a blaster like that in the middle of an empty park on a monday afternoon," khaze said as he approached the young woman. even from a distance, he could easily make out the hip holster. "or wait, am i supposed to start by asking if that's a blaster in your pocket, or you're just happy to see me?" / @mcrcki

considering how many people he'd come across since he'd been forced into trying to put the pieces of his life back together, khaze was sure that there was no shortage of individuals from the places he'd been before. passing faces had a way of drumming up things in him, in a way that left him confused. and yet here he was again, trying to figure it out. rather than let himself try and connect the dots, he came right out and asked. "do i know you?" / @mischiefxmuses

"are you looking for something?" he asked, eyes narrowing a little bit as he looked on to the other, trying to place a name to the face but not having anything come up. something was familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it. considering how many people he'd come to know between his upbringing and the jedi academy, it was expected that there were plenty of people that he could have known at some point without really knowing who they were. "maybe i can help you?" / @wvsteria

while he still had questions about what was happening, his own skills had come back to him quickly. even in a busy environment like this bar was, he could still feel the presence of eyes on him, which he eventually followed over. "you know, with how intensely you're glaring into the side of my head, you must either be very attached to the seat i was in, or you're the dark force energy i've been sensing the entire time i was here," khaze pointed out, a quirk in his brow as he settled beside the woman at the end of the bar. / @tragcdysewn

the last thing he had remembered was eros’ voice, his face — all while the fear trickling in because it felt too soon, like khaze never truly got to experience life in the way he was meant to. but there had been comfort in knowing that eros was safe. and now if by some perfect chance, he was face to face with him again, worlds away from where they had once been. his instinct was to immediately go to him, especially now as he realized eros had seen him as well. but even as khaze stepped forward, something didn’t feel right. he couldn’t figure it out, but it just felt … wrong, almost. “eros,” he finally managed to say, pushing his way through to get to him, his hands already outstretched. khaze wanted to grab onto him, to ensure that his was really happening - to feel his skin against eros’ once more. “you - you’re here…” he started, only to trail off as as he stepped closer, feeling the difference in eros’ energy like a slap in the face. with a sharp inhale, khaze drew his hand back, as if he’d been burnt, his eyes widening more. maybe he was wrong, maybe the force just felt strange in this place — but even as he tried to convince himself, he knew it wasn't that. “i can’t - why don’t you feel the same anymore?” it was only when he heard the soft shake in his voice that he realized he’d accidentally said the thought aloud. / @lcngliive
