The Dark Academy on Korriban

"The Old Hermit?" He gave her a funny look. "Don't know that one, why don't you tell me about your adventures?"

"And yes, I'm pretty sure that armour and I are going to be causing a lot of havoc together. I think I can upgrade it to be more resistant to stun damage..." Tech specs filled his head even though he wasn't that great at interpreting them. It last though when he looked over to see a naked Shaisha was still there.

He pinched her. "Just making sure you're real."

She let out a small surprised eek at the pinch, then responded by biting on the skin over his collarbone. "Making sure you're not dreaming." She grinned in return.

"Yeah... there's an old hermit out in the Wastes of Korriban. Spindral. Met him twice now when I've gone out there... first time I had a vision when he told me to commune with Korriban itself. Second time, well, he told me a few secrets."

"Heh, no I'm here, honest!" He playfully swatted at her with one of his big hands, but it was gentle.

"Spindral the hermit huh? Not heard the name before. And I knew you'd have secrets too. Good, that's how it should be." He looked over into her eyes. "So how do you 'commune with Korriban'?"

"Oh, I got my share of secrets," she chuckled warmly, breathing in his scent. "Everyone keeps secrets. Some are just better at gathering them than others."

"Hmmm, I guess it's best to say it as simple as merely opening up to the Force, but I'd suggest trying it away from the Academy, and somewhere more... mmm primal?"

"I bet you do." He smiled at her. "Somewhere primal you say? Okay, well that's interesting, but what's the payoff? I mean, has this actually benefited anyone or did it just give you some weird visions that don't make any sense?"

He reached an arm over her and pulled her in closer.

"Could drive you crazy, or let a ghost possess you, or you can become more powerful..." she purred, "anything that's worthwhile usually has a dangerous drawback. For me, it was a vision of the future, that I've yet to fully understand."

She didn't mind being closer right now, to share the warmth as their bodies were cooling off now after the physical excersise earlier.

"You'd be surprised by how powerful I've become..." His thoughts drifted back to destroying his competitor earlier, and he smiled a touch viciously.

"Do you want to talk about it? The vision?" He gave her a more playful grin. "Or is that enough talking for now?"

"Perhaps another time," she twirled a lock of his hair around her finger. "It's a kind of personal one."

"But if I have any other visions, I'll tell you about them."
