"You are the one who wished a guide to this place. I have no similar need. With my power restored and you with no desire to remain assured I stay sane, I might simply leave you here amidst the wreckage."

"You are entirely free to do so," he says, brightly. "If you have no need of my expertise or knowledge to handle your spirits, then I trust you to have the situation well in hand, and see no need to press the issue."

Permalink

"Fare you well then, poet. Do try to avoid encounters with other Sith. They are not nearly so pleasant as I." She turns and gestures open the door.

Why are you pretending you don't want to travel with her when you do? wonders Kele.

... Well when it's put in those terms, it all seems rather ridiculous, doesn't it. Ugh. You win, sparrow.

"Oh, fine," he sighs, dramatically. "If you will not admit your perspective, then I shall endeavor to for both our sakes'. I am a powerful, intelligent, and dashingly handsome individual with little direction or purpose, easily bored by mundanity, cursed to eternally wander the lands looking for passing amusement."

She pauses.

"And?" she asks, in a carefully neutral voice.

Aaaaaaugh this is almost physically painful, whyyyy is he dooooing thiiiiiis. Stupid sparrow. Pointing out logical fallacies with so much earnesty.

"And," he continues, carefully, "despite the attempted maiming, murder, and ongoing threats of eventual madness, I find you more than passably amusing."

"So you do find my company charming, dear poet?"

Permalink

This is cruel and unusual punishment. She's clearly drawing this out for her own entertainment.

Well, he's not going to give her the satisfaction of making him uncomfortable. Time to turn the conversational tables. He is turning up the charm.

"Why wouldn't I? You're intelligent, witty, astonishingly powerful, and breathtakingly beautiful. I'd be a fool if I didn't appreciate your company."

Permalink

"Mmm, am I now? That is... most pleasant to hear. But I am still leaving now. If you intend to keep my company, you would be well advised to join me."

Permalink

"This place was growing rather dull," he agrees, airily, and he walks after her. "Is someone going to be offended about the window? Or the recent water damage?"

Permalink

"Undoubtedly so. But so long as we are not here whenever they arrive to be, I find myself hard pressed to care."

Permalink

"Ah, yes. The wailing would be grating."

Permalink

"Quite. Especially as the proprietor of that particular property is likely to be in the employ of the Hutts. Their posturing is tiresome."

Permalink

"It often is. Hutts?"

Permalink

"The large slug-like creatures."

Permalink

"The ones with the large, tacky, expensive statue, I see."

Permalink

"An expression of his wealth and power, that he can afford to waste resources on something so frivolous."

Permalink

"I am offended not by the expression of wealth and power, but by how completely and utterly it expresses a lack of taste."

Permalink

"'Taste' is, for Hutts, a matter of how loudly one can flaunt their own importance. That statue is a paragon of its kind."

Permalink

"Yes, I rather agree."

Permalink

"Why are you in this city, again. With its tacky employers and terrible statues."

Permalink

"I don't believe I ever said in the first place."

Permalink

"Then, for the first time, why are you in this terrible, tacky city."

Permalink

"Because it's an excellent place to disappear for a while."
