Honestly, Jacen's jaw dropped slightly, and a half mumbled "Danni--?" rolled off his lips before he caught himself, upon seeing the woman waiting for them.

It wasn't Danni - he could recognize that much through her presence in the Force, but she did bear an uncanny resemblance, and the fact that she only seemed to be wrapped up in a sheet almost brought a twinge of color to his cheeks, as he finally really realized that they were all in a state of undress. It was different somehow with Tenel Ka; they'd been through so much together that the lack of clothes had seemed like just another thing to deal with compared to the "on Coruscant before it was destroyed" part of things.

But he didn't even know this person, and this was hardly the ideal first impression for a Jedi to be making.

Either way, he could sense her unease still, and held up both hands to indicate he meant no harm.

"We're on Coruscant," he explained, hoping that despite being half naked, he could still sound like he knew what he was talking about. "And we all seem very much alive, at least from what I can sense."

There was a momentary pause, and he glanced over at Tenel Ka.

"I'm Jacen Solo, a Jedi Knight."

Tenel Ka glanced over at Jacen at that, and it wasn't the fact that her facial expression changed, but rather that it stayed exactly the same that spoke volumes. Her friend was an idiot.

"I do not believe we are dead," she said simply, finally lowering her makeshift weapon. She did not sense any ill-intent from this woman. "Of course, I have never experienced such a thing before, so I couldn't say for sure." From anyone else it might have been a joke, but as always with Tenel Ka, it was almost impossible to tell.

"I am Tenel Ka." She paused for a moment, considering what else to add to that introduction. "Also a Jedi Knight." There was no reason to mention any of the rest of her titles at this point.

"Jedi?" Oh, this couldn't be happening. Whatever this was? It wasn't real life, and it probably wasn't any version of Heaven. Her version of Heaven would have her front and center at an REO concert, with Kevin Cronin singing his heart out to her. There'd be some backstage action and some -

Well. Definitely not Jedi.

She didn't believe that they weren't dead, and only let out a small snort as Tenel Ka talked about her beliefs on the matter. She did offer both people a small nod and as much of a confident smirk as she could manage, given the situation.

"Jace, TK. Looks like we're stuck together, at least for now. I'm Jo Harvelle, and I don't have any idea where Coruscant even is, but if you say we're there, then all right."

Jo was pretty accepting of the situation for someone who'd never heard of Coruscant before. He wondered if she were from an Outer Rim world, or somewhere further than that, even. He exchanged a glance with Tenel Ka, who he figured might have the same questions.

"That's a pretty positive attitude to have," he noted, though there was caution in his own voice that seemed to say as much as he appreciated her optimism, he wasn't entirely disposed to share it quite yet. "Can I ask how you got here, or what world you were on?"

Tenel Ka blinked once at being called 'TK', her equivalent of a surprised double take. She couldn't remember the last time a person had dared give her any nickname, let alone one so abbreviated. It didn't seem necessary to comment on at that point, however, so she let it slide.

She caught Jacen's glance in the edge of her vision and inclined her head slightly, confirming her response to his unspoken question. She was content to let Jacen do most of the speaking for the time being, preferring to watch and listen, gather pertinent information that may come in use at a later date.
