It had been a few weeks since their first training session in the cavern. And since then Ark and Drarkia had only time to allow the infatuations to evolve into something a bit deeper; And though Ark wouldn't be capable of admitting what no man, human or near-human, would be able to admit, it regardless there as something there, and Ark couldn't say otherwise. Their past few meetings were more social gatherings between the two of them rather than training sessions, although Ark tried to keep their meetings as far from the Temple as he could manage. This time, however, they would have to meet in the Temple. It wasn't that Ark was ashamed of his relation with the Acolyte, but rather that he was unsure of how he'd be viewed.
Ark has always been seen as the emotionless Warrior that was infallible in battle; But this was a huge weakness. Weaknesses should never be revealed to even your friends. And that was why Ark required their affections be limited to privacy, for both of their sakes. Ark has seen it time and time again of an Acolyte's weaknesses being exploited by the others. It was survival of the fittest in these Temples, and that wasn't to say that they had any particular weaknesses that on their own could fall either of them, but together, the weakness was obvious.
So, Ark took a private training room in which he hoped they could remain in privacy for as long as possible. Ark knows that the inevitable was that their affections would show, but at least they could try to get as much actual training done as possible. And although the whole situation between them was well out of Ark's normal comfort zone, there was something a little more than simply being out of his comfort zone that picked at the back of Ark's mind. It was something unique to what Ark has experienced during his time as a Sith.
He could feel something a bit more, and it grew with every day. Ark simply couldn't place his paw on it. Ark pondered what it could be while awaiting Drarkia's scheduled arrival. Ark made it a habit to arrive well before scheduled meetings. That way Ark could prepare better than the rest of his peer and colleagues; With Drarkia, he could make everything perfect for her arrival. Ark always seemed worried about what she thought of him, and he suspected that Drarkia was picking up on the fact that Ark was early for everything.
Finally, he sensed her coming, and Ark prepared himself for her to enter the room, picking himself up and straightening his spine. His eyes were fixed on the doorway of the training room, where he was prepared to lock it after her the moment she walked into the door.
