The Dark Academy on Korriban

"Whatever will make her happy. Don't worry about what it does to me." He smiled warmly, "Really... I want you to promise me you'll think of her first."

Shaisha held her breath as she stood in silence and regarded Syl.

"No. I won't make that promise."

"Fine... prioritize my happiness equally." He said. "The only thing that would make me happy is if Kristal is. With or without me."

He looked deeply into her eyes, "That's the only thing."

"I promise I will look after both of you." Her golden eyes looked back into his.

"Thank you Shai... you're a better sister than I deserve." He said with a slight nod of his head.

"What are little sisters for?" she managed a chuckle. "Both of you are my family. Sure, we might argue, and slip away from eachother, but when I told you about how I found my strength again during the trials when I felt you through the Force? I meant that. We make eachother stronger."

He smiled and nodded, "Then I hope to continue to be able to offer you that support for many years to come."

He extended his hand for the mask.

She held it out, then revealed it was all a trap, as she suddenly pulled him close!

Into a hug.

"Be safe. Remember our strengths."

"You too." He said with a smile as her returned the embrace.

"May the Force be with you."

"And may the Force serve you well," she handed the mask back to him and let go.

"See you in the cantina later then, I guess." Saisha gave a small wave.

He smiled and nodded, then put his mask on over his face. In a mechanical voice he said, "I'll be there with bells on."

"I expect bells now. Don't disappoint me."

She smirked. "If I see bells, I will sing."

From what Sylvain could remember, Shaisha had only sung in public when in a rather drunk condition, but she had recieved classical lessons in music before she even met him and the Torsins had continued that for a few years until she quit.

"I'll send you a glass of Ziostian Bell Wine when the time is right then." He said with a smile, now hidden by his mask.

"Technically not bells... but I will consider it when it comes," she gave him a winked.

"Later then." With a wave, she stepped away and disappeared into one of the many hallways.

He smiled and watched her go.

Help me Shaisha Vreysk... you're my only hope...

He let out a sigh and went about his day.
