The Dark Academy on Korriban

"I have a variety of songs in my data banks, shall I play some?" the droid replies.

''I'll admit...I'm somewhat curious!'' Baesal chirped between laughs that had been revived by Moyr's own.

"Some ambient jazz if you may."

Moyr squeezed out of here windpipe, stomachs hurting from laughing.

R5-T8 starts playing music.

"Ode of the Newly Dead," the droid says.

''I'll have to update that too it seems...but its not bad'' she comments as the music begin

Moyr suddenly tilted her head to the side, then stayed still for a thoughtful moment. Recalling when she had laughed so hard. And with whom.

"Not bad at all... You know, R5? Set up recording, I'll sing. You'll have a unique piece in your collection."

She then configured the datapad to provide accompaniment and set the commlink to act as mike.

"Recording now," the droid replies.

The lekku limped, and Moyr closed her eyes. Then, as the guitar played from her datapad, she began singing.

"Waking up is harder than it seems
Wandering through these empty rooms
Of dusty books and quiet dreams
Pictures on the mantle, speak your name
Softly like forgotten tunes
Just outside the sound of pain

Weren't we like a pair of thieves
With tumbled locks and broken codes
You can not take that from me
My small reprieves, your heart of gold

Weren't we like a battlefield
Locked inside a holy war
Your love and my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for

Change will come to those who have no fear
But I'm not her and you never were
The kind who kept a rulebook near
What I said was never, what I meant
And now you’ve seen my world in flames
My shadow songs, my deep regret

Weren't we like a pair of thieves
With tumbled locks and broken codes
You can not take that from me
My small reprieves, your heart of gold

Weren't we like a battlefield
Locked inside a holy war
Your love and my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for
The only thing worth fighting for"

Baesal calmed herself and got curious when Moyr proposed to sing and then got mesmerized when she finaly did.

''That was beautiful Moyr''

"One way to remove sentimentality from your system is to sing it out."

She said with a sad smile, having turned her devices off, once R5 stopped recording.

Baesal observes Moyr for a moment before moving closer and talking her hand

''If you want to speak to someone, you can come to me anytime...I also dispense hugs when needed'' she then says with a honest smile

"Thanks Baes. You're a darling."

Moyr looked into her eyes and stroked her cheek. Her voice was changed, it still retained that triste quality that had permeated her song.

"But I should be going now."

Baesal looked into Moyrs golden eyes before correcting her

''Since we are in your room I think it is I who should...well me and R5-T8...''

She glances at the droid

''Unless you want him for company for a little longer to listen to his poetry''

"No-no, you two can stay if you want. I need a solitary walk."

She sounded absent-minded.

''Are you sure?'' she said, looking worried

''But I will wait here as long as you need.''

"Sure. You could spend some time testing your droid after all."

The roll of her eyes to the corners of the ceiling could give Baes an indication what Moyr meant.

She winked

''Sure, I'll check is repertory''

She gets up and moves to R5-T8 to inspect him

"Bye, R5."

Moyr took her cloak and datapad and wandered off.
