The Dark Academy on Korriban

He smiled, "It is quite reminiscent of Kaas City isn't it? Calm and serene spot of beauty surrounded by violent jungle... but the deeper inside you travel the more pernicious the environment becomes."

He chuckled, smiled and reached up to grab her hand that had released him, "If you are not otherwise detained, you should accompany me to Dromund Kaas. Even if I don't make it sound desirable... it's where the action is.. and it's where I am... I would prefer you not be too far from either of those locations. Lucky for now they are one and the same."

"I'll take your word for it because I haven't been there yet. But then, I've just been given both a reason and an opportunity."

Her fingers interlaced with his immediately.

"I haven't agreed to be with you with being separated right after in mind. But then, you're not averse to bringing action to the frontier, right?"

He smiled, "I'm willing to make action on the frontier, or follow it there if that is where it goes."

He wrapped an arm around her waist, "Adventure, excitement and action. I'm willing to chase them anywhere... They could easily be my nicknames for you. And my willingness to follow them would stay the same."

He leaned in and kissed her passionately, "After Dromund Kaas, I have business in Nar Shadaa I will need to attend to soon... Perhaps you could rile up some excitement for yourself there too."

She fondler his ears with her lekku during the desirous kiss. He could sense how the rub on his legs came from her shifting weight on her legs. Her body seemed warmer by one notch.

"It so happens I always have some business on Nar Shadaa. And I want to check that Hazzan's spot on Nal Hutta."

She smiled wryly after their lips parted, leaning onto him and mirroring his embrace of her.

"I think I will manage creating my own monikers, unless you mean those that I allow you to utter in the bedroom. I will be progressively interested in determining who I am to you, however."

He smiled and held her close, "Progressively so, huh? Does that mean you are seeking for an answer in the present though you phrased it in the future tense?"

"And are you ready to give me one that I can cherish?"

She laid her hand on his cheek and looked into his eyes that made it clear that a half-truth was a bad idea.

He smiled back down at her, "Probably not.. Not fully at least."

He brushed his own hand along her cheek, "But you are the only one in my sights right now, and that feels right."

"This will have to do for the time being, though the way you've phrased it feels rather deficient."

She pinched his chin and shook off a grimace before it formed into anything definite. Then, she smiled coyly and raised a brow.

"It feels fair to inform you then that presently my expectations of romantic companionship are limited to you. The related arrangement is rather unlikely to be compromised over the short term."

She kissed him tenderly anyway.

"You speak 'noble' so well." He smiled. "Looks like you're ready for Dromund Kaas."

"The things a woman learns when working in independent shipping."

She smiled coyly.

"You'll have to share some of your skills with me. I'll need to sneak in a Twi'lek smuggler into the best parties in the capital." He said with a smile.

And mother thought Kris was unacceptable...

"You'll be taking heat for my alleged racial inferiority."

This was a statement of fact, though she looked intently at him to glean his thoughts on this.

He smiled, "It's not too much heat. There are plenty of different types of people at such events. Sith are not disrespected publicly unless there is someone who has a death wish."

"My name shall command respect eventually."

She had her doubts about being well-received in the Imperial capital.

He nodded, "It will. I will do my best to make our trip an enjoyable experience. I know the right people and places. With me you'll enjoy it. I promise."

"I trust you in this."

She felt the urge to embrace him tightly and engage in a protracted kissing session. Sustainable this time, no breath-stealing, just long and enjoyable. She tasted his lips like wine, savouring them.

"And some other things."

She added sometime between kisses.

"Oh?" He asked with a smile between kisses. "What would those things be?"

"My clever man can figure that out."

She said with feigned dismissiveness, smiling charmingly as she traced the contour of his jaw with her fingertip.

He smiled and kissed her forehead, "Even clever men enjoy a hint or two."

"Kris showed up for a chat."

Moyr said with inscrutable expression, but very alert about his reaction.

His eyes squinted slightly at the mention of Kris' name, "Yeah? I'm guessing it wasn't a casual talk about the weather?"

"She came up to talk about you. You and her. You and me. We broke bread, shared blood wine. She opened up quite a bit."

Moyr raised her brow, studying his emotions through the tendrils of the Dark Side.

MA10. Sense. Syl's emotions.: 1eF 1 Dark Side

He looked interested and intrigue would be the main emotion in his heart, which he was not guarding at the moment.

"She did? Seems strange for her... What did you think of the exchange?.... How are you feeling about 'us'?"

"Which us you ask about, Syl?"

She laid her hand on his shoulder.

"You and me." He said. "Obviously there is some concern in relation to Kristal that came from your conversation. What would you like to know?"
