Eiattu
She never thought herself as someone who would get irritated in needing to report back in for a mission, it wasn't like her, in fact she generally had feelings on the opposite end of the spectrum. There was generally excitement and curiosity, but she had not felt like herself recently, not since she lashed out at Emryc on Tatooine. It was now about picking up those pieces, finding the ones that had served her well, and burying the others to let them rest with peace. Of course, this was easier said than done, she had to decide which pieces of herself she could salvage and what else she needed to renew. It was that idea to renew that built stronger Sith, some called it a rebirth, but it was a lesson one had learned during training and for Tiamat, it wasn't just about recalling those past lessons, but also handling the feelings that stirred whenever they were tied to Emryc.
She had even begun to wonder if she really meant those things she told him that morning, the confession, one she should have never spouted and misjudged her own strength in handling her own. Perhaps she was just delusional, mistaken by the kindness he had given her as something that just people did. People were once kind to her, perhaps it was just so long since she had actually felt this. In thinking of this though, it was supposed to make herself feel better, but instead felt worse knowing she possibly acted like a bigger fool than she had realized and anytime the thought seemed to surface, her face tended to glow bright red from the embarrassment of just thinking she had misjudged. However, at least when she was washed with those feelings, the shadow inside her was quiet(er) and not as abrasive as it had been.
It would take greater willpower to push all these thoughts aside as she focused on the assignment as her focus came back to the present. Tiamat was currently in her ship, flying through hyperspace when she heard the chime of the hyperdrive alert to the nearing of real-space and their destination: Eiattu. The world had been recent conquered by the Sith but it did not necessarily mean that everyone was happy with the change in government. As the previous monarchy surrendered rather quickly or fallen into exile, resistance pods seemed to sprout up every now and then. It seemed like Sith Order would just draw names like in some bingo name and send who ever was picked next to handle the latest thorn.
Tiamat was not alone on this journey and with her was a curious individual named Zazai; if she were entirely honest with herself, she felt entirely curious and maybe even felt cool for getting to do this mission with a Pureblood Sith (as she had never met one in person ever until now). Regardless, she hoped this was not a one-sided mission where she were left to do all the group work alone. "We're going to be entering real space soon."
