"I love you too, my dear."

Heee.

"I'm going to design the best secret lair for us. It should have dungeons. Well stocked and thoroughly kitted out dungeons."

"Should I be planning to find inmates?"

"You'd need to run your acquisition methods by Nexuha's sensibilities..."

"I'm sure we can find some sort of satisfactory arrangement."

"She and Maul can fill the cells in the meantime."

"An adequate measure, while terms are negotiated."

"Might help persuade her of some things."

"It would be valuable experience."

"Show her the inherent value of being our prisoner."

"Create your design with that in mind, hm?" she laughs.

"Among other things."

"That's my girl."

Speaking of other things... They're going to need an art studio with a lot of storage, and really nice tall ceilings (with room for her paintings), and a sunroom with very warm tiles for sprawling on... A library...

"I think the library should have a built-in playground," she teases, "Though maybe we can have a separate office with the more somber tomes."

"One for fun and one for business?"

"And ones for different moods... Honestly nothing's preventing us from having all the libraries..."

"Though l'll - wanna talk to Nexuha about the playground idea..."

"She has been... seeming like she'd appreciate that kind of thing recently."

" - Yeah."

"It's... I dunno. I used to be the young one, but it felt like - I was us before Lily found us, and I retreated, and I never really got a chance to grow up? And now I'm growing up, and I don't want to be a kid again."

"Nexuha... She's interested? But I'm not really sure why, like obviously she kinks on the uh - relationship thing - but I think it's... Dunno. More. - You should actually just ask her."

She nods. "Next time I see her."

"You're mine right now."

"Indeed I am." Kiss.

Kisses! 

Kisses.

But not all is fun and games for a Lord of the Sith, at least, not one who still must answer to another who calls himself her master. His plans for a renewed empire proceed, and Sidious must play her assigned role. For this, she must make use of her position on the Jedi Advisory committee in the Senate. Her task is to keep a certain list of Jedi (among them, Mace Windu and Lily Palpatine) either occupied on Coruscant or assigned to missions at the far edge of the Outer Rim. She is also to use every means at her disposal to disrupt, interfere with, and cause chaos in Jedi-sponsored endeavors in the Core and Near Rim.

It's... A concerning priority list, and one that'll be hard to disrupt without throwing suspicion on Sidious... (Nexuha is fronting for this; she's better at this sort of grand scale thinking.)

Which is almost certainly part of the point... Her read on Thanaton is that he's becoming stressed, paranoid. His work is being disrupted and he is tasking her with this to be sure she's not the one behind it or force her to expose herself.
