The Dark Academy on Korriban

Sylvain smiled at the exchange between Shaisha and Thy. And then looked over to see 'DEATH' in Kris's eyes.

Uh oh... There was a moment of shock before he looked back with pleading eyes that seemed to say.

Sorry. I'll explain later.

After a moment he turned back to Thy and said, "Thanks Thy... walk us through it tonight."

He then closed up the Holocron abruptly.

Then smiling nervously, "See... wasn't she nice Shai? You two were already getting along."

"Uh-huh," Shaisha had caught the tension from Kris. Like any good Dromund Kaas native, she recognized a thunderstorm when she saw it. And stayed clear this time.

"I'll leave you two turtle-doves to it." She then gave a devious smile. "Kisses."

Then with the same ease she had closed the tent, she now slipped out.

After Shai slipped out Sylvain sat there for a few seconds with Kris glaring at him before smiling weakly.

"Come on Kris... You know I don't think like that about you. You aren't some triff to bring back to my room." He said with as much sincerity as he could muster.

"I know how much that blade means to you... and the special nature of your respect for the ones who wielded it before you. If you had to say that in front of Shai, she'd look crock-eyed at you for weeks."

He looks down, "Instead, I play the part of the fool. Both Thy and Shai get to make fun of me a bit, and you get to fix the lightsaber the way it should be fixed."

He looked up weakly, "That's all I was doing, I promise."

Tapping her boot on the ground for a moment Kristal just glared at him and listened. After a few, probably agonizing moments, she seemed to accept the response as she smirked.

"Shai just left you here to die," she said with an amused tone.

"I guess I know who my true friends are." He said with a smile.

Then the daggers were back for a moment, "Just know I am watching you, Sylvain Torsin."

And another smirk as she let the tent settle. There was something about it, that somehow it seemed like a tease but also completely stone cold serious at the same time. Perfectly set up parameters, if Kristal did say so herself.

He smiled in return, "I enjoy your undivided attention."

After a moment of silence Kristal broke it with a clear,

"Shaisha, if you are still out there I require your help disposing of the corpse."

There was a light amused smile as she sat there waiting with Sylvain.

Sylvain chuckled and enunciated clearly a, "Ha ha."

He smiled and said, "You're lucky I don't kiss you right now and ruin your dream 'first kiss' scenario."

Standing outside the tent, Shaisha stopped her quiet humming when she heard Kristal speak.

"That took longer than I thought it would," she replied back with a small laugh. Then hearing Syl's reply, she grinned as she replied: "Can make it look like an accident, if you want. Rabid pack of tuk'atas... never stood a chance. Alas, poor Sylvain."

Glancing to Shaisha, she smirked and then added, "A shock that the Tuk'ata managed to sneak past every other tent. A mystery for our time."

Sylvain chuckled, "Alright, I'm beat. I can take two tuk'ata, but I can't handle two wild Sith at the same time. I concede, I'm an ass."

He smiled warmly at the two of them.

Shaisha hunched down and looked into the tent.

"That's what you get for acting like a moonstruck socialite rather than a Sith-to-be." She tutted. "What would Darth Baras say? His prized apprentice bested by two girls, who haven't even been taken under the wing of a master yet."

Kristal, teasingly, shook her head in disappointment.

"It is a proper shame."

"We'll just have to keep this a secret then won't we? Or should I start telling all of our secrets that you all share with me?" He said with a mischievous smile.

Not one for many secrets, Kristal fell into the pitfall that created. Showing in that moment that she had one.

"You wouldn't dare."

He chuckled, "Not if we all play nice."

Then smiling he tapped Kristal on the shoulder, "Come on. Let's get out of this tent."

He then exited the tent to find a place to sit in the open with Shai and Kris.

"I've already played nice once today," she gave Syl a sideway-look when he came out of the tent. "I can't always play nice."

He smiles and chuckles, "I guess you're right... you can go be mean to everyone else today. You have my support."

With a laugh and a shake of the head at the current conversation Kristal exited the tent as well. Once again claiming the chair she had dragged all the way over here as her own if they were going to be staying just outside of the tent. Watching the two of them.
