She'd killed an old man and now she was paying the price for it. She wasn't proud of it she wasn't a great and glorious Jeedai anymore. She was the broken one, the one that was shaped, the one that had given her loyalty to Jacen Solo in his madness and she had killed the old and well loved Imperial Giliad Pelleon on his order. Or...mostly on his order.

Tahiri knew she'd make mistakes. Hurt everyone that cared about her, sometimes she wished Tionne had never found her and she was still back on Tatooine, barefoot, riding banthas and stealing scraps with the Sand People that had raised her. Not in a cold clinical cell on Courscant. She shiverred. Cold now. Always cold in places like this but unlike back home, or the acadamy, no one cared. Oh sometimes Ben came to see her. Ben Skywalker. The Hero. The son of Luke and Mara that Jacen had slaughtered for his saccrifice. Had her life been hers. Her friends, Telki, and Jaina and Tenel Ka and Lowie and everyone. Tahiri Veila closed her eyes and opened them in shock.

"...the kriff" she muttered, her mind running in Basic and Vong conbined as she worked out what had happened. Because she was no longer on Courscant. She was on a street, carrying a lightsaber she shouldn't be. Anakins Lightsaber. At the sight of it a crackle of lightning appeared in Tahiri's hand which she managed to push back. She had to push it back. Terrified of what it meant. Of what it always meant.

Ugh she hoped he rotted.

How? How was this possible. Where was she and what was going on. Because this, this was like nowhere she knew? No where. She had to work this out. Because she'd finally decided to make amends for her awful life and now even that was being taken away from her.

Glancing to the side when she once again trailed off from a sentence, Buffy arched an eyebrow, but said nothing. Tahiri's life, her story, if she wanted to share eventually, she could. As long as she didn't go psycho on the building, Buffy wasn't concerned.

She watched as Tahiri pass over the salt lines and demon traps, and hid the smile that wanted to come forth. So she wasn't a demon, that was good. She was probably just another...Jedi whatever. She'd ask Andrew. Lightsabers and crazy mind powers. Not a bad person to have on your team, assuming she staid.

"Yeah, you passed." Buffy mused, before motioning for her to follow. "This is the lobby, not a whole lot going on here." she said simply, before leading her through a door into the the other half of the building, where things changed. "These three doors are offices, some of the heads of the building use it to work, one is being converted into a classroom. The other side side is the security room. All the equipment and monitors are in there, as well as the weapons. Then there's the laundry room, the showers and the gym." she pointed to teach door in turn. "Then the communical kitchen for parties or anything that might involve more people than the apartment kichens can hold. Apartments are upstairs."

Taking a key out of her pocket, she went to the security room and unlocked it stepping inside and motioning for Tahiri to follow, before pointing to a section on the wall that had a layout of apartments on it. "You can see a list of all the rooms there, and if anyone is in them, their names are on it. Pick a room and I'll get you the key."

"Good to hear." said Tahiri simply and stayed silent as she followed Buffy through the tour of the downstairs, the various rooms, how the place worked. Reminded her of the acadamy, she thought with a pang at the long forgotton memory. Her time at the acadamy had been happy. She'd had Anakin then. She followed the woman into the security rooom and took the instruction. Looking at the various available rooms before deciding most looked the same to her.

"106 is free. I'll have that one if it works" she asked and stepped back a little more to let her get the key.

"So what are we expected to do as part of this complex. I know you'll need to see me fight. I'm not as technicly good a fighter as Jaina is but I do well enough. She just learned from people I never will"

She'd worked for Jacen. Willingly. It made it very certain the Mandalorians would never give her time of day. Not ever. They'd kill her if they could. But she supposed not here.

"You'll need to know my story too. You don't recognise me which is surprising since most do. By reputation anyway. I was always kind of at his side or around him when he was being all officious." she slumped in posture slightly, her toes curling at the cold floor.

"Did Jaina ever mention her brother?"
