This adaptation to make lightsabers more durable is fascinating and useful and exactly the kind of thing she's staying with the Empire for. She manages to hunt down a couple of other intriguing lightsaber modifications by the same person.
She looks her up.
"Be careful. I could get a swelled head, and pride leads to the Dark Side, you know."
"You two are never allowed to be in the same room as me when other Sith are about, you'll completely ruin my facade of proper Darthness."
Deskyl snorts and makes a show of sitting up in a proper military form, but the laughter doesn't leave her eyes.
It's so good that they're getting along!!!
"Not at the same time as each other, anyway. Being seen just with you is probably going to happen."
"But acting appropriately Sith around just you shouldn't be difficult." Sigh. "If nothing else, thinking about what happened to you is very good at promoting anger."
Another nod. And I still can - she flares her aura for a moment, not strongly, but enough to give a clear impression that she's a Sith. Should help.
"Yeah." Sigh. "At least 'loner' is a perfectly typical Sith thing, this would be much worse if I had to keep it up all the time."
"Yes. And no-one will be surprised to not see much of Deskyl, she never was very social in person."
"That's good. And it's probably strategically valuable if they think you're less recovered than you are, if it comes down to it."
"She can do that, yes. She'd been pretending to be unable to do most things for most of a year when Ekkreth found us," Daisy adds for Karzel's benefit.
"I'm sorry that was necessary. And very glad it can't happen to anyone else, now."
"From her, yes. Having to hide what you are is much harder when you can't ever stop."
