Azar’s smile faded and his expression turned sour as Vossari spoke, “You want to get into this right now?” He sighed, though he didn’t stop the dance. He moved gracefully across the floor, leading Vossari through the dance as the Wrean made his points. Azar dipped Vossari, letting him hang precariously inches from the floor.
“Imagine the feeling of drowning if you can,” He said as he kept Vossari dipped, leaning down to speak to him, “Imagine sinking into the depths with nothing in sight. No life line, no sanctuary, nothing. And then you see a hand reach down and- “ He tugged Vossari up from the dip in a snap, sliding his arm back around his waist, “-pull you up so you can breathe again,” Azar explained, “I had nothing to my name, Vossari, when I met Trodai. By comparison, he hailed from the lineage of King Adas - the bloodline of the gods as my people call it,” Azar said, “I was not allowed passage into Korriban without him because I had committed patricide,” Did Vossari know this story? “I arrived on Korriban at the mercy of Trodai Adas…whereupon he could have handed me over to Dreshdae. He could have imprisoned me..let me rot.. But he vouched for me,” Azar said, “He gave me my name back. Without which none of this would have been possible,” He gazed around himself before looking back at Vossari, “I do have faith in others when they don't and I shape them into versions of themselves that far transcend any version of them they thought possible.”
He looked at his partner, his arms around his neck, “But Trodai had that faith in me when I had nothing. He didn’t just see the crown on my head - he was right there with me on Korriban to help me take the first steps to obtain it. He alone. He was humble despite having every right to lord his position over me. He saw in me a King and a God, a vision I didn’t have yet for myself. Without his actions, I would still be just Champion Kressh with that tiny space in Umbara. Trodai had more claim to the throne than I ever did."
Azar looked deeply into Vossari’s eyes, “But I love you and I respect you as my partner,” He said calmly bringing up Vossari's hand to kiss the back of it, “What would you have your king do, my love?”
