"I never thought about children growing up in ships." Galen said. "It's difficult for me to imagine."

Cole shrugged, "it's all I knew. Didn't occur to me that there was anything odd about it. Not until people started asking me where I came from."

"I used to make up planets I was from." he admitted. "Or, use ones I'd heard of."

Cole looked at the other man curiously, "why?" He was gentle, but curious, confused.

"Because I didn't know the answer." he replied. "I couldn't even tell you what planet I was bought on."

Concern flooded Cole's features, "Galen, you were... I'm sorry."

"I never told you?" He seemed legitimately surprised. "It seems like I've told everyone since leaving Nar Shaddaa. I was purchased when I was around 5 years old. And, I was used as live bait for several years afterward."

Distressed, Cole pushed a hand through his hair, "Galen, I never imagined." The doctor placed a hand on the man's shoulder, paused for a moment, and slid his hand across the hunter's shoulders in a one-armed hug. He pulled gently, encouraging Galen to lean into him.

He accepted the hug. "It doesn't really bother me. Not the way most people think. I hid my past for a long time, mostly to deny what I did."

Cole turned his body towards Galen, bringing his other hand up to stroke the hunter's hair, the way Garth had done for him. The doctor's heartrate jumped a tick, remembering how that had turned out.

He didn't stop him. He didn't really react at all.

There was a silent moment of cognitive dissonance as Cole separated Jedi Master from slave master, and the arm around Galen's shoulders tightened. The pair were very close in height, Cole less than a inch taller. Closing his eyes, Cole rest his forehead against Galen's, "I intentionally injected an injured Hutt with an NSAID, causing him to bleed to death."

So long as Galen didn't pull back, Cole continued to hold him. He wanted to raise his head and nuzzle into the hunter's hair, to plant little kisses amongst the tresses, it worked on me, but he couldn't quite find the courage. "The galaxy is probably better off."

Cole felt Galen pulling away and was overcome with anxiety. He released the hunter, running a hand through his hair and staring out into the forest.

"That's all any of us can do, when it comes down to it." he shrugged. "And, that's fine, as long as we keep trying."

"That's true," he agreed, though he wasn't in the least certain if he was trying to do the right thing as he watched Kidaja bleed to death before his eyes. That had been revenge, searing self-serving revenge.

Galen took a long drink from the bottle. "The scars I showed you before. They're from the wolves."

Cole didn't know what to say. He gently took bottle from Galen's hand and took a drink as well. He was astounded and disbelieving, passing the bottle back.

"I spent years leading creatures into the traps Janus Sol would set, my master." he explained. "I lasted longer than any slave he'd had before me. I didn't understand why, but he eventually figured it out. I could sense them. Through the Force, I could feel their presence and stay a step ahead as I led them into the old man's traps."

"Janus had had some run ins with Jedi and Sith. He recognized the ability and saw it as a reason to go after bigger game." he explained. "It became more difficult, more harrowing. I knew I'd die if the hunts continued. Then, he'd just buy new bait. But, he didn't know that I could do more than sense the creatures we hunted. I could manipulate them, too. I would confuse them, calm them or scare them enough to keep myself safe. But, I could anger them, too, stoke their rage and directed it."

"I led the wolves past the trap, right to where Janus was waiting. He shot a few, but the pack was too large and out for blood." he pulled back a sleeve, showing Cole the scars again. "That included my blood, but I was able to pull away as the focused on him. I ran for miles."
