Meeting with Scarlet

Highway was back to his old self again, meaning he had recovered nicely from the trouble we ran into while scouting out rebel positions near Hendola, Naboo. Him feeling better also meant that every time I tried to discuss anything with him, he would interject with suggestion of romantic interludes. Lol, I love him dearly, but sometimes his mind is only going in one direction. He doesn’t like it, but I’ve nicknamed him “One-track” .
We were having one such discussion, when my comm. went off. I looked to see who it was and was surprised to see it was scarlet! I had made a not to myself to call her about Max, but hadn’t had the chance to do so, with Highway recovering.
Our conversation on the comm. was short. It was as I thought, about Max’s behavior, she had experienced pretty much the same thing with him. We agreed to meet on Corellia, as it was half way between where we both were. Her on Dantooine, and I on Naboo. We would meet somewhere outside the city limits to Coronet.
I told her I was with Highway, and just needed to explain to him what was going on and that I would be on my way shortly. Though Highway knew first hand Max’s rage I felt it would be better to meet Scarlet alone. I love Highway, and I knew all I had to do was ask for his help and he would come running, but this was a matter between two women that were close to Maxell, and cared for him deeply.
Highway agreed somewhat grudgingly to me going alone, but in the end said he understood and that I was to comm. him if anything came up. I promised him I would, that I would tell him when I arrive on Correllia to let him know I got there ok.
I gave Highway a kiss and hug, and headed to the starport to prep my Sorosub for the flight to Correlia

Correllia has changed! There is a strong rebel presence here. I found out the hard way. As I was unpacking my swoop to ride out to where I was to meet Scarlet, a rebel guard jumped me. It’s a good thing I never travel unarmed or I would have definitely found myself in a cloning center. I contacted Highway as promised, but didn’t relay what had just happened.
Scarlet wasn’t to far out of town, she set up a small camp near a small village on the shore. When I came upon her she was happily playing with a large cat She greeted me with a warm hug and smile, and invited me to sit down.
Its wonderful to see Scarlet, though she wore the look of worry, as I do, she still looked so much better then the last time we met. Then she was still recovering from the ordeal of having Meela, her little girl. Scarlet just radiates warmth, strength and caring like none I have known before. I’m so grateful to have her as a friend.
We sat for a long time discussing Max. The strange behavior that seems to come and go at will with him. We both feel that this is something that will just have to run its course, that to bring an outsider in on this could cause problems with the army and the empire. We agreed we would both work to keep an eye on him. She would make herself available for when he wanted to hunt; I would try to be there when he went on missions.
With a plan in place we embraced and promised to keep in contact. I left her at her camp, and headed back into corellia. I only hope that I can truly be of help to Max and Scarlet.
