Valio's 2.1 meters of height made him tower over even the taller Knight, his movement more resembling a creeping shadow than a person. He offered a slight slooping bow to both Jedi.
Syala had felt a subtle inkling within the force as the gentelman with a cane got to his feet. She observed a soft glow, like a flame towered behind tall wax walls.
'Force sensitive,' she mentally noted, uncertain about such hidden intentions. The bow, however, was a dead give away; an action instilled in every initiate from their earliest training in the temple. The information was not pertinent at this time, and she would forgo any reference to this secret knowledge at this time.
"I apologize to distract during a busy time," Valio said, ever constantly avoiding the use of his own name, "but my fellow cardsharks and I have information valuable to the Order. This is not in exchange for pay. I do, however, think you'll find yourselves amenable to the favor I must ask of you."
The younger Jedi stepped forward, "Surely, you must understand our hesitancy in making any promises, before we have ascertained the true value of this information."
"And the commitment involved with the favor you seek." Syala completed her padawan's words. She felt it best to show a united front, one that would keep them from commitments beyond their ability.
"Lets get this business out of the way we have other business to conduct off world. If you could make the citation disapear that would be good to." A air of impatience fills Felixe's voice.
The older gentleman was a perplexing mystery to Syala. A connection to the force was not required to observe the limited flesh and blood which controlled the complex cybernetic systems which comprised most of his being. His intentions were clearly visible, as the demand in his voice confirmed.
"It is you who is demanding a favor from us," Syala replied, reflecting the strong and mildly brash demeanor of the elder visitor. Returning to a calm and collected center, she finished her statement, "I feel it is only fair, we honor the request in our time frame."
Padawan Desal directed the crew back towards the entrance of the Enclave, "Please, show us what concerns you all so greatly."
