"Good", said Rhasru simply. He looked at the girl for just a moment before his gaze wandered off into the distance through the canyon, towards the west where the sun was slowly approaching the horizon.
From his vantage point, Rhasru observed the Acolyte, smiling quietly to himself. He was quite satisfied that he had been able to set her on the right track, much as she might come to resent him for his methods. She was clumsy and brutal in what she was doing, and hurting herself as she was...
Rhasru finally opened his crossed arms and put his hands into the opposite sleeves of his dark robe. He gave a barely perceptible nod, hardly more than an inclination of his head. He continued his slow pacing and eventually came to stand behind Lillieth.
"However much you want it, I'm afraid...
"That's better now", said Rhasru, a smile creeping on his face. "If I may venture a guess, I daresay you are more accustomed to bending other people's will to hand you what you desire, rather than taking it yourself. An effective strategy, certainly, but... it has its limits."
His arms still...
I know, sorry. I had a horribly busy week, wanted to post last night and then was too tired. So the plan is to write the post now, that is to say, after I've had breakfast.
The effect of his suggestion was not lost on Rhasru. Both Eris and her lover were curiously touchy about the subject of the Hapans. Perhaps he, and by extension she, was self-conscious about his origins, as if being a Sith didn't put him beyond that. But then he had be quite ready to volunteer...
The girl was desperately grasping at straws, thinking at first only of useless ways to delay the inevitable, before Rhasru could feel the budding of an insecure hope within her. It was entirely the wrong emotion for the purpose. She had, at least, considered that there might actually be a...
"Rhasru Denal." He paused for a moment, then tilted his head slightly. "Belligerent, you say? I hardly think so. I hear they are actually quite social and cooperative, they are pack-hunters. Surely you can't blame this lost specimen for its attempt to sustain its own life by taking yours. Of...
Rhasru had meant to admonish the girl for her want of awareness of her surroundings, which had allowed her to be surprised by the predator; but he could feel her intense embarrassment as she likely expected exactly this, so he decided that it wasn't necessary to rub more salt into the wound. Her...
Rhasru liked to meditate outside under the sky of Korriban, between the rocks that surrounded the Academy. The heat of the sun, the rough stone and sand, the cold wind, and the unpleasantness they brought, were a constant reminder that peace with the world was an illusion. The planet didn't like...
Amilthi acknowledged the pronoun with a quick smile. He must have picked up on her attempt at hiding herself, which was actually a welcome secondary effect of it. That was one problem solved. On the other hand, she felt that they had failed to solve the problem of remaining undetected. She had a...
Sweet! In case you already have an idea in mind for why Lillieth would be somewhere where the Yali attacks her, just go ahead an start the thread. I'm sure cooking up some reason why Rhasru would be there will be easy.
Hey, would you like my Sith Rhasru to join in on your Chimera mission and act as a sort of guide to Lillieth in figuring out how to solve her poison problem?
It was unpleasant the attention Amilthi felt directed towards her without even looking. It was nothing compared to the preying intent of a trained user of the Dark Side, the burning gaze of a Sith that left one feel violated and confused by its inconceivable maliciousness; but it was noticeable...
