Prelude: New Digs - Chapter II

34 Kelona, 19 ABY - Great Northern Desert, Teloc Ol-sen System, Eclorar Sector, Mid Rim Territories

The heat was oppressive at best. Lilandra wiped the sweat from her brow as the two hiked through seemingly endless dunes of grey sand. Teloc Ol-sen wasn't a particularly attractive climate - it lacked the idyllic, rolling hills of golden sand for which Tatooine was so well known. Instead, the whole affair seemed to Lilandra like a giant ash tray - not a pleasant thought, to be sure. For as hot as she was, her sweat was a keen reminder that her biology was far more adapted to handle such a climate than her master's. Contrary to Lilandra, Akea Oahu was bone dry; this was a less-than-ideal state for the Dur Sabon species. Lilandra reasoned that he must have some method of lowering his body temperature to be functioning in these conditions. This would not surprise her terribly, considering Akea's renowned mastery of body control. As the pair continued walking, Lilandra's thoughts began to creep up on her again.
