Darth Acina steps out of her shuttle, her eyes the particular shade of amber that, in humans, indicates what the Jedi like to call corruption by the Dark Side. "A pity I seem to have missed all the excitement," she says as she meets Ibani's gaze.
"Oh, just a bit of housekeeping," Ibani replies, waving a hand dismissively. "I do hate cleaning up other people's messes, but needs must." There is challenge in Ibani's gaze and Acina bristles at it.
"Whatever are you implying about your Empress, Darth Imperious?"
Ibani's tone takes on the feeling of an experienced worker disappointed in a junior colleague and the Force echoes that. "Oh, Acina, I'm so terribly disappointed in you. An Empress ought to have a better grasp of how the Game is played."
The two of them are side by side now. "Did you really think I wouldn't notice your little stunt here, Acina?" Ibani adds, still in that disappointed tone.
"You insolent..." Darth Acina snarls, her anger flaring, but then Acina freezes in place, and her heart jumps, skips. There is a spike of fear in the Force from Acina.
"So many little things in the body depend on tiny electrical charges operating in just the right way," Ibani explains. "The skeletal muscles, for example, and the heart."
