Memoria Praeteritorum

It was very light for the night in Kyromut. Mandalores two moons where full, causing many headaches in the household. One person who was especially snappy was Walon Vau. The old man had a spliting headache for two days, and even before that he fellt like shit.

He was sitting in the kitchen while waiting for his tea to finish, Mird laying next to him. Even when he was relatively far from the karyai, he could hear the happy chatter coming from there. After a little time he heard the soft taps of cruthes.

He stud up from the table and went to the cupboard to take down a cup. Vau thought about joining the group, but his headache said differently.

The taps were getting closer when it suddenly stoped. Walon looked at the door and he seen a head full of choppily cut red hair. He smiled.

“Miss Etain. Would you like tea?” He tried to pull his most inviteing smile. “Its Behot tea. Good for an upset stomach.” Walon poured a mug and held it out.

“Sergeant Vau!” Etain smiled and took the tea. “Thank you!” She said politely and sat down facing the window. Vau took place too.

“The moons are beautiful, aren’t they?” Etain pulled up her legs and crossed them. Vau's supprised she could move this freely after her injuries.

“They are. But they cause a killer headache too.” He chuckled. Etain suddenly looked at him and raised an eyebrow. In response Vau raised one too then he shook his head. “ How are your injuries doing?” Walon asked.

“They are fine…” She looked down into the mug.

“You are healing quickly. You Jedi are fascinating in many cases.” Vau tried to give her encuraging words, even when he didn’t really know how to give those.

“Hm. Thank you.” Etain suddenly become very quiet. ‘Maybe i said something offensive? I don’t think I did’ Vau thought. Etain oppened her mouth like she wanted to say something, when Kad ran into the room, Mereel following in his trail.

“Kad!” Mereel called out, smiling. “Don’t run away just like that!” When Mereel arrived at the kitchen he stopped in his track to look at Vau. The sergeant shook hi head and turned away. He did not notice Mereels quirked eyebrows.

The boy ran to his mother and asked to be picked up. Etain tried lifting him up, but a pained expression painted her face. Kad looked into Etains eyes, like knowing that she was in pain

“Don’t worry Kad.” Vau said. “Ba’vodu Mereel will help” Mereel quickly looked away from the older man, and went to put Kad up into the young womans lap.

Vau stood up too. “I have a tea somewhere that is good for tea.” He want to the cupboard and started looking around.

“I don’t think tea will help her” Mereel proclaimed “Mij is in the karyai, I can ask him for painkillers.” The young man turned to Etain

“Tea is fine, thank you.” Etain said while trying to get Kads fingers out of her hair. Mereel looked at her with a questioning stare “I can’t be forever on painkillers. An it’s not that bad.” Etain explained and Vau hummed.

“You do you…” Mereel accepted. He sat down at the table too

“And you Mereel? Would you like tea?” Vau offered.

“No thanks. Im fine.”

Walon shrugged and pulled out a tea. He put it in front of Etain and sit down in his place. HE petted Mird and pulled out his Kniting. Mereel raised his eyebrows again then looked at Etain. She shrugged and went back playing with Kad. The soldier looked back.

“Mereel. A little advice. If you keep raising your eyebrow to anything I do then they will stay that way”

The young man frowned and turned to Etain and Kad.

Vau heard a Holocall comming in and heard Kal’s voice.

“Fen Shysa, how — help you?” The conversation goes on for a good minute. “—— Vau?” suddenly everything goes silent. Even Kad raises his head. Walon can hear Kals limping steps comming closer. The short man suddenly arrives in the kitchen door. He looks irritated and suprised at the same time.

“It’s the Mand’alor” He gives him the commlink.

Vau stands up and takes the commlink, then tries to walk out, but Kal does not let him. Vau sighes and sits back.

“Vaus here. What can I help you with”

“Sargeant! Are you expecting visitors from Irmenu?” Vau shoots a suprised look. Visitors? From Irmenu? What in the Karkin’ hell…

“Depends…” He hesitates looking around the room. Everybody is silent “Who are they?”

“Two children. They come from the Irmenuan resistance? Heard of it?”

What the hell… Oh Goddes Kola

“No. Never” Vau answered

“Well they heard of you. They have a message from…” Walon hears a young voice “Cordelia?”

Walon suddenly feels dizzy. He can feel somebody staring at him. ‘Not her. Why? Why why why…”

“Vau? Are you here?”

He stedies his voice “Yes.”

“Do you know who that is?”

“Yes.” He sighs. “Do they have money with them?”

The mand’alor mumbles something on the otherside. “They have some Irmenuan Galleons but i don’t think it’s enought

“I will pay tomorow morning. Could you get them somewhere to sleep?

“Yes. Come to Oyu’baat. They will be here.”

“Got it.” Vau stoped the call and stud up in a quick manner. Kal stood in the door, determined not letting him out.

“Care to explain?” Kal asked. It irritaded Vau more than usual.

“No” Vau tried to walk trough Kal.

“You will explain it”

“It’s none of your business” Walon said with so much venom in his voice that it made Etain flinch.

Kal leaned closer “You aren’t leaving this room till you explained yourself.”

Vau leaned down, his golden eyes almost glowing. “Let me out” he ordered.

Kal couldn’t even react that quickly, but he was already moving. like something came over him, something was commanding him. He stared wide eyed

Vau walked out the kitchen seeing Ordo in the hallway. He turned his head back.

“I will explain everything tomorow.” When he looked back all four of them looked very shocked. He smirked to himself. He then turned around and went upstairs.

“Mird!” He called out and the strill was already next to him. They went into Walons room.

He stood in the shower, letting the hot water burn his old scars. He should be happy that Cordelia’s alive. But what are those children doing here? ‘Could they be…’ No, thats dumb. Cordelia was sent into a nunnery ‘But what if…’ No. He did not let his head wander into that direction. They are probably taken in by Cordelia. Or some random children she sent ‘She wouldn’t send anybody…’ He sighed ‘This can’t be good’

He turned of the shower and got dressed. When he walked out Mird was already laying in it’s place. Walon petted it and went to bed.

But sleep did not come for him.
