The Dark Academy on Korriban

Baes was sad to have lost so much time on Moyr's lighsaber but a now full belly reenergised her.

"Round two, ready?" She said turning to her friend

"Your apprentice is ready."

Moyr had managed to douse her frustration in a few quick drinks and was now in positive, determined mood again.

"Now that we've replaced subpar materials, it should work. I believe so. Fucking vehemently. Let's do this."

Baesal worked diligently and the metal began to took form. And so, a sleek black double lightsaber saw the light of day.

"Dibs on the naming rights!" She chirped with a finishing touch

From Baes with love was inscribed in very small lettres on the hilt's center

"Dibs acknowledged. It's beautiful, Baes."

Moyr beamed, her golden eyes gleaming with excitement. She leaned over to peck the Togruta on the cheek.

"So what will the name be? I can't wait to mount the stone on it!"

Baesal beamed with delight

"How about Moyr's kisses" she ventured

"Not too pretentious? I would not send a kiss to any and all I will to kill. Why don't we mount the crystal and see how it works?"

Moyr produced the red gem with pale iridescence.

"Go big or go home!" She claimed

"Anyways its better then Moy-Moy's wet smacks"

She smiles at the prospect then her eyes flirter

"You do the honors'' and handed her the blade

The moment felt religious, and Moyr treated it as such. She rose, straightened, held the hilt in extended hand reverently but firmly, then unlocked the case. As it popped open, she carefully inserted the crystal, intuitively positioning it at an angle that would sharpen the edge of light, ensuring greater lethality. Her eyes closed, and so she did with the case. Turning the hilt vertically, she took two steps back, away from Baes. And then, she turned in on.

The buzzing glow of white-lined redness of her lightsabre was mesmerising. For a moment, she couldn't speak, feeling a power surge, real or imagined. A scary grin curved up her lips.

"Passion. I'll call it Passion."

Baesal applauded the moment

''Nice'' she looked at the peculiar color of the blade

''Red with a white core...its unheard of''

"I read in Zash's notes that there's a planet in Unknown Regions called Ilum where these are mined. They are rarely red though."

Moyr kept gazing, fascinated.

''Nor are they white...I'll need to research that when I am able''

"Thank you, Baes."

She finally turned it off and tucked into pre-prepared holster at her thigh.

"I'll help you get your crystal. Maybe tonight? If we don't hurry, Zeno can conclude we are cowardly bums that speak much and do little."

''If he does we just will have to correct him properly'' she said while getting up and packing everything she could brin.

Lantern and glowrod on her belt and datapad in her backpack she finished by straightening her heavy overalls.

''Ready when you are!''

"I'll powder my nose on the way. Let's go. Wait at that spot until I bring our comfy speeder."

Energised, Moyr strode out of the room.

''You betcha!'' She chirped as she strutted behind Moyr, closing her room tight.
