The Dark Academy on Korriban

"Oh? Blood. It is so dreadfully difficult to get that out of good silk..." She smiled at him mischievously. "Well, I am happy to do the talking for you, if you wish."

"I usually prefer not to get it out of silk. It's a memento of an excellent conversation," he replies with a rather vicious grin. "I guess that would do. You tell everyone how wonderful and great the party is while I just drink. Then if someone says something out of line to you I'll throw them out of the party... in pieces. Then after such a wonderful night we might go somewhere more private?"

She feels a tugging... the something calls.

"A unique taste... I'm not too fond of the smell myself, to be honest. Then again, some signs need to be shown to those who are slow to understand their place." She smiled at him teasingly. "Hm... perhaps. I am amenable to the idea."

She felt a tugging, and turned her head slowly towards the source, trying to judge the distance.

Winking at her, "What's the use in breaking your chains if you don't enjoy your freedom."

When she looks away, his face goes neutral. "Feeling something?"

It is towards a mound perhaps a half kilometer from where they stand, north. According to Lord Savas a battle was fought there by ancient sith and the dark Jedi that came from the stars. A local tribal warlord was killed and his forces routed.

"Hm.... I think I found something useful." Her eyes looked over him, a mix of curiosity and desire in them. "Up for a small jaunt and adventure? I think I found a crystal about 500 meters from here... and then, perhaps, we can do some chain breaking?"

"That sounds like a rather wonderful way to spend the morning, Sinea," he says with a nod. "You can sense where it is?"

Sinea turned her whole body towards the location. "More or less... it's one of those old sites of battle that Lord Savas likes to mention. North." She started moving, but not too quickly.... she didn't want to outpace the one with the combat skills after all.

Zeno followed near behind. "Lovely view today." The sith-blood chuckles at that. "Quite beautiful."

The hill rises about sixty or so meters and the top is broad and flat about thirty meters across. It is just red dirt with a few stones worn by erosion from the wind. She feels that what she is looking is in the dirt.

When they come to a stop zeno turns to the dig site and whistles for a slave.

"Good idea... I don't think dirt suits me." She waited for the slave to arrive, and tried to zero in on where the crystal could be.

A slave approaches head down, a good beaten down cathar. She waits for her orders dutifully.

Sinea concentrates, trying to narrow down the location... she didn't have time to have a whole hill opened up.

OOC: Any roll to identify where the Crystal is exactly?

"Get a shovel. You're digging here," he says to the cathar. "Expeditiously."

The cathar nods and runs off to grab a shovel and returns and starts digging until they have exposed a skeletal remnants and a crown of rusted metal with red-black jewel in it.

A crystal.

"It seems this is what you were sensing," he says as he picks it up and cleans it off. He then moves to face her, inches away and places the crown on her head. "Perfect."

Sinea struck a coquette-ish pose. "Apparently.... hm, that does seem like a nice crystal." She removed the crown. "And now I'm all dusty... thank you very much." There was some sarcasm in her voice. "My my.... what a nice gem. It would look good in a hilt, don't you think?"

As he answers, he gently wipes away any dust with a playful smile. "I believe it's just right for you Sinea. Now you just need something to put it in other than a crown."

"Mmhmm" She said with a small smile. "I do think I'll need to do some shopping..." She smiled at Zeno. "You are ever so helpful, Aspirant Deathwright."

"I'm not just helpful. I'm also powerful, clever and charming. I may not have your gifts, but I can foresee a budding connection between us." He places a hand on her hip. "One with many benefits, not necessarily just professional."

Sinea smiled, and leaned into his hand. "Oh, my what a charmer." She leaned in towards him. "So, what kind of benefits would you offer?"

"I imagine that with your focus on your gifts, you could use a strong set of hands to help you out from time to time. And I could definitely see the benefits of having an ally with such strong connection to the force," he says with a smile. "And sometimes it's nice to just have someone to relax and enjoy some free time with. I think we'd complement each other well Sinea." He leans in to whisper in her ear. "Very well."

"Mhm, you are very proud of your hands, that much is apparent." She slid her hands down to touch his. "So, you are someone who.... likes to get dirty, I take it?" She asked with a mischievous smile, the rusty dusty crown still on her head.
