Knights of the Old Republic: The Last of the Sith(Master Kanas' Group)

[Vendetta]

Happily the gand bows, then heads to his bunk to sleep. He's not had much actual sleep. While his mind was focused from all the meditation he'd been doing lately, his body ached for rest.

Following Skyka's nondescript departure, Bud'd waited until only she and Master Kanas remained in the conference room. Noting her mentor's curious gaze, she moved to sit next to him and spoke in soft quiet tones. Master Kanas, I am not sure it would be wise that I go along on this mission. I was sorely wounded from our last meeting with the Lost and I feel no-where near at full strength. She touched a charcoal coloured hand to her throat and winced a little. I am uncertain about my usefullness in such a state. The group as a whole needs focused and strong members and I.... She trailed off, turning to look over her shoulder. I would not be the reason they fall because I cannot perform to the best of my abilites. Lekku coiling and uncoiling, agitated, the Twi'lek did not turn back.

Aerek caught up with Skyka before she made it to the meditation room. She's not looking well. "Did you want to be alone, or would you prefer someone to talk to?" He asked.

Skyka Tarkrak: Human/Female (Force Adept 1/ Jedi Guardian 6)

Skyka hesitated at the sound of Aerek’s voice but after giving a slight wave of invitation as she continued on to the meditation room. Her voicing cracks slightly, it sounded tired and wore out but not overly emotion, as she spoke truthfully after making certain they where alone, “Of late I seem to be always alone when I’m not with you…” she smiled weakly as she squatted and sat upon the floor, “Congratulation on your achievement. I’m quite proud of you as I’m sure that Lysa and the rest of the family will be just as proud of you.”

*Wryy watches as everyone quickly disperses, and sees that Bud'd clearly wants to speak with the Master alone (with a bit of help from Cai). He turns, and heads to the exit ramp so that he can find a quiet spot near the ship to focus himself and rest before the coming trials.*

"Thank you." Aerek said, sitting down next to her. "It's probably good that we're not on Corellia, though; parties thrown by a bunch of active and retired soldiers can get a bit out of hand."

Skyka smiles slightly, obviously amused by the thought of it, before she finally replied, “True,” her smile faded as she continued, “but I have a feeling we would be able to protect each other at your family’s party…”

Her words grew silent as she could no longer hide her worry, “I was scared Aerek. Not of dying, not of the Sith, of losing you…”

 

[drothgery]

Aerek put an arm around her. I spent years checking for messages about Lysa and Daved whenever I had a chance. I knew they were very good at what they did, but that even the best sometimes don't make it back from battle. I never really thought anyone would think the same about me.

"I was worried about you, too." Aerek said.

As she settled into his arms Skyka smiled dreamy up into Aerek’s eyes, “I know… Aerek, I’m sorry for being such a… I think Lysa referred to it as being a “bitch” or something like that?” her tone dismissed her own question as she continued her apology, “Anyhow, I shouldn’t have walked away when you tried to consul me early. I don’t accept my own failures very well, especially when they’re in front of you, I want to be revered like Lysa and not viewed as a sad failure.”

OOC: It's the next day; this is the first time Aerek and Skyka have talked today

"You've been through a lot the last few days. I'm trying to do what I can to help, but I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert." Aerek said.

"Besides, Lysa didn't try to be a hero. To this day she insists that her celebrity is largely a creation of holoreporters looking for an attractive young Corellian who was marginally successful, and that any success she had was the product of the work of a lot of other people above and below her, everyone just trying to do there best to help win the war. And she's lost fellow pilots and pilots under her command, and has been nearly killed herself enough to make what's left of dad's hair turn grey."
