IM/OOM :Kyber

[last_kallig]

When Ibani comes into Milliways this time, she's carrying a case about as long and as wide as her forearm. There's a strange aura around it, a dampening, a muffling of the Force. One lock is open, the other....Ibani wants Baze and Chirrut to be there for that.

If it's what she thinks it is, if there really ARE kyber crystals in the case, then the two Guardians ought to be there.

Chirrut hasn't yet learned to slow down his mantra again. His voice is a rapid patter as he prays in the face of the Force's reaction, seeking calm.

Ibani is surprised to find herself held against Baze. "I, I think I'm alright," she says, shaking her head as if to clear it. "The song was just...it felt like my whole being was ringing. Thank you for catching me."

The kyber's song settles, quiets down, soothes. Ibani opens her hand to see that the kyber crystals have turned a brilliant amethyst color. "Are they supposed to change color?," she asks, concerned. "They don't feel upset, but..."

"I'm not sure," Baze says, cocking his head to the side and peering at the now-purple crystals.

"I think that means they've chosen you."

"The Jedi never shared what happened to the kyber after it left our care." Chirrut shrugs, slightly overlarge, more settled now that the echos he gets through the Force aren't so riotous.

Ibani nods, relaxing a little at their answers. "You would think they would have told you about what happened to your charges," Ibani grumbles.

"Purple is a good color, one common enough among Sith that it won't attract any awkward questions," she adds, unconsciously running her fingers along the kyber's facets.

"Thank you, both of you, for being here."

"Of course, Ibani," Baze says, offering her a squeeze. He melts into a smile.

"We wouldn't miss this. Thank you for sharing this with us."

"Just try to keep us away." Chirrut snorts, relaxing against Baze's other side.
