OOM:Reunion
Feb. 19th, 2024 06:21 pmThe room isn't quite the same as it was the last time he was here. There's a fireplace, and a fire in it, with some blankets and cushions in front of the fire.
Ibani flushes as she shuts the door. "Bar put that in after a dream I had."
She trails a hand over his armor. "The armor of your legion?" She grins. "Want to show me how it comes off, or do you intend to leave it on?"

He leans in for a kiss.

Date: 2024-02-20 03:50 am (UTC)"Shall we sit by the fire, warm up a little?" Her voice is low and playful too, a match for his.
no subject
Date: 2024-02-20 03:55 am (UTC)He grins as they move beside the fire and...well, "settle together."
no subject
Date: 2024-02-20 04:11 am (UTC)Then she can't resist the temptation of him any longer and her mind brushes across his with love and an ocean of want. "I'm sure we'll keep each other VERY occupied for a while, until you need a break."
Then she moves in for a hungry kiss.

Date: 2024-02-21 03:12 am (UTC)She's touching the edges of his mind still, a safe enough depth that they can stay there almost indefinitely. "I believe you were going to tell me about what you'd done in your new gear when we were less preoccupied. The amulets were the only parts I recognized."
She'd been quite pleased to see the amulet she gave him still around his neck, earlier.

Date: 2024-02-21 03:50 am (UTC)Garyn can get pretty dramatic when he's talking about swords.
no subject
Date: 2024-02-21 03:56 am (UTC)Her smile is approving, and there's a touch of vicious satisfaction against his mind at the name. "A good name indeed, and a fitting one."
"I've used my lightsabers for such a purpose, although the idea of naming them feels....odd. It would be like naming a part of myself something different."
"Is it ebony? It definitely doesn't look like steel."

Date: 2024-02-22 02:28 am (UTC)"Your men, you're an officer?" She's pleased at that. "At least they can recognize quality when they see it, your Legion." It's about damn time he got some recognition from someone other than her, in her opinion!
"Might be worth testing Sholagmer against my lightsaber, later, if there's somewhere I can make just a little contact and not ruin it. It felt potent, for metal. Not magic, but strong."

Date: 2024-02-22 03:56 am (UTC)"Whether what I've been wrapped up in for the last year on Alderaan counts as justice likely depends upon your point of view."
"Something I got recruited for as a result of my actions there as an apprentice." She sighs. tracing idle patterns on his skin. "I don't think I ever told you much about that, as it was right before my confrontation with Zash."
And she was rather understandably preoccupied with what THAT portended.

Date: 2024-02-22 03:58 am (UTC)Garyn chuckles darkly.
"Isn't that always the way of things?"
no subject
Date: 2024-02-22 01:15 pm (UTC)"My work with House Thul back then gave the Empire an excuse to throw me into the civil war without the Empire being 'officially' involved."
She chuckles, dark. "House Thul was driven off of Alderaan decades ago, supposedly for plotting to steal the throne. They sought refuge in the Empire, and the current Head of the House grew up there. Officially, the Empire is just lending them money and a bodyguard because they sympathize with the plight of people driven from their homeland."
"It's a pretty story for them to spin," she says, smile wry. "There might even be SOME truth in it, somewhere."

Date: 2024-02-22 11:23 pm (UTC)She sighs. "But it's meant going from assisting an army here, to a demolition mission there, and then to retrieve something somewhere else. And assassinations, of course. I knew there would be SOME nobles willing to sell out to the Empire if the Empire got rid of an inconvenient relative and made it look like an accident, but they've exceeded my worst estimations."
There's bitterness there, because HER only family was taken from her and they're throwing theirs away! She rests a hand over his heart. "I can stop someone's heart with a touch, now, make it look like natural causes."
"Refining it took a while, but I had plenty of targets in battles to practice on." They were going to die anyway, but even so....

Date: 2024-02-23 12:32 am (UTC)Ibani huffs out a breath. "Though that relationship is complicated by my interactions with her when I was an apprentice. I needed to get a key from Nomar Organa, and I had learned he might come to Alderaan if she asked it of him."
"She was in love with Nomar Organa some thirty years ago, and he was willing to defy the wishes of both his noble family and his Order to marry her. Until at the planned announcement of the engagement, he suddenly reversed that decision in the most politically disastrous way possible. His behavior was radically altered after that point too, from rebel to extremely conservative
"I told her my suspicions, that it didn't seem natural, that sudden, radical, changes in someone's behavior can be caused by someone pushing too hard on a person's mind with the Force when attempting to influence their decisions."
"I don't know if that was a kindness, when she was, is, still carrying a torch for him." She gazes into Garyn's eyes. "Or for the man she remembers Nomar Organa being, perhaps."
