The Dark Academy on Korriban

(OOC: Expecting)

Sylvain propped himself up on the wall with his holopad out looking at the map of the Republic outpost he was headed to later that day. The sandstorm that rode in delayed his departure, something that displeased him.

At the very least it gave him a bit more time to prepare and think about the best routes to take in getting there.

Niriti walked into the halls, she had seen the man walk in before her, and decided to follow him. He had caught her attention previously but the accident in the market had gained her full attention.

"Sylvain" She called out as she approached with soft movements.

He cocked an eyebrow at the use of his name by a stranger. Thinking back he faintly remembered her face from this morning... a moment worthy of forgetting, even if she was not.

With his cool imperial charm he smiled, "Yes? I'm afraid I'm at a disadvantage. I don't believe I know your name... though I know I've seen you before. How could one forget?"

Niriti walked closer to the man, to a distance where he could get a deep, inebriating, sense of her, very close when compared to the distance at which colleagues should be. She could hear his breathing, and he could get an echo of her heartbeat. "Niriti" She softly exhaled.

The distance not only gave Niriti an advantage when it came to using her feminine weapons, but it also made it hard for Sylvain to draw his weapon.

"I hope I'm in the presence of the man and not of the queen." She replied with a jest. "I very much prefer the company of handsome strong men, such as yourself."

He smiled and replied with a charm rivaling her own, "And I'm sure such men enjoy the company of such a beauty as yourself."

Then nodding he replied, "I am indeed Sylvain the man. The Queen is taking a nap."

"You might explain yourself then." She added as she paced around the man, her hand stretched to his chest and around his shoulders and his back as she turned finally returning to his chest again. "It was a very strange thing to see your will be dominated by that of a... queen. You should train your mind as much as your body, acolyte." She made fun using the voice of their teacher.

He smiled, "There are powerful spirits that roam the wastes of Korriban. Sometimes they impose themselves on others when they least expect it."

Then winked at the girl, "But like any strong-willed man I'm able to cast out a woman from my thoughts when another more appealing option comes around. There are ways of getting rid of even the most powerful specters; just need the right motivation."


"Where does such a lovely woman like yourself hail from?" He asked with interest.

Impressed by his words, Niriti grins at Sylvain, although aware that a creepy and sinister force is within him. She can't understand how he keeps it at bay, but it must mean that he does have a strong will. Now if only she could also understand what had triggered the Queen to appear, then she could avoid it.

"Well if those spirits got a grasp on you, I can understand why. If I were a woman I would also want to be close to you." She smiled "Oh, wait I am a woman." She giggled as she pushed closer to him.

"I am from Taris." She whispered, making him come close to her to hear her. "I tricked the guards of a supply vessel so that I could take their vessel and exit the devastated waste. What about yourself? Anything interesting other than those eyes? "

He chuckled warmly, "Other than these eyes? I suppose not, they are my most redeeming feature."

He smiled in a self-deprecating manner, "I hail from Dromund Kaas. Spoiled brat of the noble house Torsin."

"Puppy eyes do we have? Otherwise why would they redeem you?" She joked while grinning "now if you're also an inheritor to a noble family, then that is also a cause of being interesting, at least for leech wives." Niriti stepped back to check the man in front of her. "I think there are also many other attractive characteristics to yourself."

"Did you find anything else in those Tombs?"

He smiled and nodded graciously, "Thank you. I must admit I do have other exceptional qualities, though when put up next to a woman such as yourself, they seem to pale in comparison."

He then tilted his head, "In the tombs?"

"Well, why don't you tell me how you got the witch inside you. What drove you to that place and what did you find?" Niriti looked for a place to sit where they could talk easier, and where their bodies could rest one next to the other, specially where her hand could caress his leg, her hair brush against him.

Sylvain sat next to the woman and smiled, "It wasn't a tomb, just a cave out in the wastes. A sandstorm drove us in there where we came across a hermit prophet who taught my friends and I how to 'listen' to Korriban. It would seem 'Korriban' wasn't in a great mood, and opening myself up to listen to her invited a strong spirit into my mind."

He smiled, "Be careful with Korriban, she can be a vengeful mistress. Not anything like Miss Niriti right?"

"Oh I can be a dangerous and vengeful mistress." She countered slowly empathizing each word while her hand fell around his arm. "A slow, dangerous, revenge that will not be expected. Or maybe just a plunging knife."

"Don't always expect things to be as what they seem" She said more to herself than to the man who's chest she was already feeling with her spare hand. "So I guess that these caves might be dangerous to anyone unprepared, or whose self-discipline is lacking." She gaze at Sylvain "Not that I think that you lack self-discipline, but I've always trained my mind over my body, while I can see that your body isn't lacking any training at all." She concluded kissing the mans neck.

He smiled, "I may lack self-discipline... or I may just want a beatitful woman like yourself to think that I do. Someone wise once told me, 'Don't always expect things to be as what they seem.' Oh wait... that was you just now wasn't it?" He said with a wink and a smile. She was being quite affectionate, but as of yet he hadn't returned the attention with any physical contact of his own.

"Is that so?" She replied with a grin while tampering on his chest with her fingernails. "So you were listening after all, even though I was trying to distract you. Quite an enlightening control of your instincts, Sylvain. You're not the spoiled brat I thought you to be." Her tampering stopped and she removed her arm and hand from the man, while expecting his desires to arise.


Waiting for the Storm, Fluff. Charm.: 2eA+1eP 2 successes, 3 advantage, 1 Triumph


DAMN! Look at that, my first Triumph and it's seducing you

He smiled enticingly back at the woman. "You'd be surprised with what my weaknesses are. Being spoiled and being easily swayed by women fawning over you aren't two of them."

He then took her hand as she pulled it away, "While I'm not a fan of being manipulated by a pretty face, I'm not one to say 'no' to someone who's after a mutually beneficially good time. "

He rubbed the palm of her hand gently as he looked back into her eyes.



(OOC: Cool Check: 4 Successes. With your Triumph and advantages though he's not unaffected.)

(OOC: And a Charm for you too: 2 successes, 1 advantage)

Surprised by his reaction, Niriti's brow raised as she bit her lip softly. She could feel his intent of seducing her, and it flattered her, so she drew her head down and kissed his hand that held her own. A slow kiss with her fine lips. "I don't intend on manipulating you, Syl, my only intention is of having a good time with you, if you'd like. And to learn more of you."


(OOC. My talent eliminates Setback die on my roll, don't know how it would work on Opposed rolls)

(OOC. And my counter Coolness is exactly your own Charm, and so no effect)

He smiled, "That sounds quite nice then actually. As long as you offer me the same insights into who you are."

Not releasing her hand, but instead gently rubbing his thumb over her knuckles he asked, "So what is it you'd like to know fair lady of Taris?"

"What to know..." she wondered "There are many mysteries of who you are, as well as who I am. Some even we don't know ourselves. Plus your queen companion." She gave him a direct look, so that he would know that she still acknowledged the extra presence between them, probably hearing them. "First we need to get rid of that presence within you, then I'd feel more open to talk about my own secrets to you. For now, just let me have this time together." She ventured forward and kissed his lips while her other hand held his hand upon her first one.

He returned the kiss in a sweet and charming fashion.

"That's certainly a great way to get started." He said with a smile. "I'll have to make sure that I get rid of the Queen as quickly as possible... so we can pick up from there."

"Until then." She bat her eyes softly before kissing him profoundly so that her mark would remain on him. Then at very close distance, where their breathes intertwined, she added with a puffing voice "I will limit and prove your self-determination, and auto-control." Then she bit his lip softly and pulled away slowly.

Letting go of her lips with a smacking noise he smiled, "I'll make sure the wait was worth it."

Then nodding, he said, "Goodbye for now Niriti, I'll see you in my dreams."
