The Dark Academy on Korriban

"I'm glad." Was all he said before the two of them walked along in a long silence for several minutes.

"I spoke with my mother this morning..." He said after a while.

"Which went well?"

Kristal continued on, thinking once or twice to tell him that the man he thought was dead wasn't so easily killed either. He even had the woman he saved to thank for his life. However she didn't, because she was mad.

"Well enough. With my informant dead, I have no other eyes on the outside. I told my mother of the events." He paused.

"And I told her I plan to marry you some day. She told me to cut all ties with you... and I told her I have no intention of doing that. But it seems that's out of the picture. If you'd like me to leave like Shai I will. But I will never abandon you."

"Your mother thinks like she has given up hope on my Family. Can't say I blame her from her perspective," she said. After a few more steps of silence she sighed and turned to look at him directly.

"Truthfully. I do not know what to do with you Sylvain Torsin."

He nodded, "Probably treat me like shit for a while... but hopefully I can show you I'm not a total sack of garbage."

He kept prodding along, "No one is who they are at their worst... I make no excuses... but I will show you I'm someone you can trust again."

"You can try," she said with a simpleness to it.

He nodded, "I will..."

There was no promise, just a statement of purpose.

Kristal must have accepted it, or listened to it at least. For she was silent.

Part of her hoped he would, sincerely, the rest was just numb.

He nodded, "Just watch Kris... Just watch... that's all I ask..."

Then continued on their trek towards their destination.

The rest of their trek was silent.
