One of the bat-eared Bonbraks—Valo’s other sentient life-form, tiny and more than a little foulmouthed—had tried to stop him from entering the zoo grounds, chirping at him that they weren’t open and to come back later. A quick nudge in the right direction ensured that the Bonbrak had gone about his business, instantly forgetting that he’d seen a Jedi in the first place. Elzar could just imagine what Stellan’s reaction would be. The fledgling Council member was always squeamish when it came to influencing another being’s thought patterns, but Mann didn’t see the problem, especially if it kept everyone happy. The little Bonbrak would go on with his life safe in the knowledge that he had done his job to the best of his ability, keeping unauthorized folk out of the zoo until opening time. Besides, Elzar had clearance to go anywhere, more or less. If anyone else questioned his presence, he would simply say that he was sweeping the area for threats. He closed his eyes and reached out with the Force to make the lie a truth.
