The Dark Academy on Korriban

Baesal was inthe shade of some of the imperial installations to finish Darth Grei’s Codex of Sorcery and the Huttese bestiary Jun-Tsu recommanded her.

Fully focused, she absorbed as much as she could.

"Rawr."

Moyr snuck up on her and made a tuk'ata sound near her ear.

''Hiiiiiii!''

Baesal wiggled in 'fear'

''Is the big bad tuk'ata going to come eat me?''

"The answer is: 'Rawr' because, as you most certainly know, tuk'ata don't speak Basic. So..."

Moyr grinned, scratching Baes on the back.

"Rawr."

There was a clear shiver in Baesal's body

''Hiiiiii! Oh noes!...I better cry for help!''

She puts her hand in the shape of a cone over her mouth and took an enormous breath in with the intent of roaring her distress

''HELP!''

She 'hoped' that was enough

Moyr lightly bit Baes' lekku and nibbled on it.

"Raaawr. Which means both 'Nothing can save you' and 'You're tender and tasty'. Tuk'atan is ambiguously simplistic that way."

Bae's body tensed and quivered as she fought back the giggle brought on by the tickling

''Oooh'' she brought the back of her hand on her forehead in a grand mouvement ''Ohhh, woe is me! A poor meek gal about to be ravaged by a hungry beast...''

''What should I do now? Can her hunger be quelled?''

"Not here, sadly. If I took the chunk of you I am thinking now of right here I could be put down as a savage beast that I am."

Moyr scratched the lekku down with her teeth, lightly.

"But before your final breath you'd like me eating you, of that I am sure."

Her legs struggled to keep still. As Moyr scratched the lekku they rubbed and twisted against each other

''Is that wise Ô predator of the waste? I may yet find resolve and stand against you...''

She grins impishly

''If it is eat or be eaten...maybe it is you who shall be...''

"I'll hunt you down when you'll be alone. Then we will test how serious you are about this eat or be eaten. Or maybe eat and be eaten?"

Moyr released Baes' lekku and sat near, with innocent smile.

"What are you reading?"

''Rawr!'' came as her answer followed by a laugh ''I'll need to practice...''

She then shows Moyr her pad

''I'm finishing Darth Grei's Codex of alchemy and I'm also perusing a huttese bestiary''

"Quite the spread. To what purpose, dear?"

''I'm trying to learn how to synthetize khyber crystals. The bestiary is for the study of a special breed of beast that makes force reactive susbstances in their digestive tracks''

"And how advanced you are with this? is it not that you only need one crystal? Or maybe two can be mounted in one blade for greater potency?"

''I don't need a second crystal...well, maybe I'll build a second saber...but it is the interaction between the material and the force that interests me''

"So it's just for knowing, not using it?"

Moyr had a rather pragmatic attitude to all knowledge.

''To use it, you must understand it''

She shrugs

''Having more khyber crystals is never a bad thing either.''

"I vaguely recall they are more potent than the Ilums we have now. True?"

''Indeed...ilum are more versatile but others are more vicious''

She grinned

''And harder to get...''

"So what are the other options, apart from synthesizing? And is my hilt versatile enough to accommodate others than ilum?"

''To get crystals? Well, slaying beasts is one thing...I hear Krayt dragons produce something like a crystal in their digestive track.''

She nods at he second question

''It should, the other crystal types are not quite different in size so they should fit''

"I like the glow, and I went through much to get this stone out of Faln, but right now all have ilums and it doesn't feel that special any more. If opportunity presents itself, I may opt for a change. So I'd like to know what to look for. Krayt dragons, you say. Anything else?"

''Some crystals or mineral formations can work...but they are quite rare. I'll have to do research.''

She shrugs

''Don't worry about you crystal not being 'special' you'll make it plenty special as you commune with it''

"Perhaps there are some nice minerals where we're going? Could you research that, Baes?"

Then she perked up at the next revelation.

"Commune with it? You mean we can do some mental talk?"

''I'll research that''

She raises her eyebrow

''No not like that...but you can transform your crystal, modify it and improve it''
