Eira needed better weapons, weapons that impacted her opponents more. She had realised for a few missions that her equipment was failing beyond the simple extent of her own skills. Eira was still improving in how she fought and conducted combat, it just wasn't an easy style of combat that made her favourable amongst the other Sith. Eira never stuck to established tactics and she never agreed with the majority in how she should do anything. Eira was rebel to her core, even if that meant that she ended up a rebel against the Sith Order. Eira's sole defence was that as long as her tactics were hidden that it strengthen the Sith.

Since anyone she deemed worthy knowing of her weaknesses in combat were going to be aware of how to fight Eira. Mostly through non-Force based combat techniques. However, Eira was curious how others would be when they confronted issues that the skills that she displayed. So meeting a blade-smith was something that Eira took seriously since it was an opportunity to support Quinn as well as demonstrating her skills progressing.

No one could pin Eira here, and even Quinn couldn't attribute all of the power that Eira was gaining was purely from the daggers that she wanted to construct.

This was something that she needed to surprise her Master with, or at least surprised with how effective it would against similar skilled Force Users. And that was something was that Eira would deem worthy as hiding since she did not want the enemies of Quinn Varanin publicly aware of what Eira knew while acting as a bodyguard.

In contrast, Vakhari held little interest in the wider set of violent conflicts within the Order. She did however realize that her family had only made such a thing easier for her to ignore. Was there really anyone who doubted the influence that House Lutris has within the Order?

Even concerning the woman Eira so desperately wanted to protect and impress, Quinn Varanin . Vakhari was her aunt, a fact that didn't concern the young Lutris much. Vakhari was more of the type to have her head in the stars, perhaps thinking too much to where she was blind to the more simplistic things right in front of her.

Jutrand, the seat of the Order. She supposed it only fitting that Eira would prefer to meet here, it did have some nice shops after all...

She had arrived earlier in the morning, setting up equipment within the room she was borrowing within an Order tower. Typically reserved for those of high station, Vakhari wasn't sure if Eira would normally be let in to such a place.. But just in case she had cleared her visitor for entry.

It was now later in the afternoon, Vakhari sat within her room. Waiting for her visitor to arrive soon, getting lost in boredom as she gazed out the window.

All the vehicles going by, all the people down below. The looming sunset cast its dying light down upon them, the scene making the pale girl think about insects in a terrarium, crawling and skittering under a lense.

Eira had visited a could of professors' studies and attempted to sneak around, circumventing the lack of privileges she held currently due to her rank in the Jutrand Academy. However, the young Sith hadn't the chance to visit everywhere and sneaking around was far riskier than she would like since it meant that being caught was suffering severe punishments and even death. Especially if she was caught heading somewhere she really shouldn't be allowed. While her skills in stealth had drastically improved since she started training, they were not considered perfected.

So, when she was granted a pass, which only gave her access to the room that she was needing to visit but it was still something. Allowed her wandering eyes to note and perceive things with greater clarity than they could before. It wasn't anything significant but noting where hallways were, potential hiding spots and other tid bits. They were all important for Eira to have later on.

Giving a sharp knock on the door, Eira announced her presence to Vakhari. It was something her Master had instructed her to do as part of having good manners and Eira was not going to make herself or Quinn look poorly. Entering the room, Eira gave a short bow of her head, "I am grateful for you allowing me to see you here. Hopefully I can present an idea to you that intrigues you and is worthy of your time." Eira stated.

While the weapons she used currently were standard, effective in a manner, Eira needed better. And she was not a blade smith so unfortunately this was one of the times that Eira had to lean on someone else in support. Asking another to assist in constructing the weapons that she could use. Though, the assassin had her ideas on how it could appear and what it needed to be fulfil her desires.

Right after the knock at the office door, Vakhari would respond.

"Enter."

The door would unlock, letting in her guest. Going over it in her head as she slowly spun in her chair, gazing at the ceiling above.

"Eira Dyn, correct? If the information I was given is true then you are an acolyte?"

She seemed to be dealing with plenty of Sith acolytes recently, not that she really cared what arbitrary rank they are... Just that she got to do what she does best.
​

"I am grateful for you allowing me to see you here. Hopefully I can present an idea to you that intrigues you and is worthy of your time."

"You're very welcome."

The strange girl smiles while still gazing at the ceiling, soon turning her gaze to Eira as her office chair made a slow stop.

"Coming in with ideas already then? Well, by all means."

Vakhari gestures to the chair across from her desk, resting her elbows upon the desk as she kept a chipper smile. ​

Entering the building, Eira looked around the room, it was something she did whenever entering a new location. Checking the corners, assessing the dangers, making sure she knew where there were places to hide, escape, surprise enemies from. While she had not been an assassin long, Eira knew early on that assessing a room gave a lot of advantages that some often missed. Many people forgot that things could exist on the ceiling for example, so that was always one of the first locations that Eira checked.

"Eira, yes. Sith acolyte, yes." Eira stated confidently, the assassin rarely used her family name, it was not something she held as important, not currently. It was tied to people that she hated, tied to people that rejected her. But, she was aware that could change in time and she held no rush to drop the name entirely.

Pulling out a dagger, she placed it on the table, wasting no time with pleasantries or small talk. Eira was here for business and therefore, would get on with the business talk. "I need daggers, better daggers. Ones that can really harm a Force User, poisonous perhaps, powerful and deadly." Eira explained, "I was aiming to learn Sith Alchemy to create a potent Sith poison to coat the blade with. I also have some ideas on how the blade could look." Reaching from her back, she pulled out sheets of paper with rough sketches.

Nothing was well drawn but the ideas and intentions were clear. "I have ideas for a new sword and blaster pistol as well, I aim to become an effective and powerful Sith Assassin. I need the weapons to help with that." Eira clarified since her ideas were going to be unconventional in how a Sith would fight, but that was what Eira wanted to be. Unconventional for a Sith so that she was deadlier, unpredictable.

"Straight to it then, I can respect that."

She leans her head, looking as if she was inspecting the knife set upon her desk.. When really she was inspecting the prospect that walked into her office. These assassin types were perfect, tied up there for some of the best for helping spread death, and thus entropy.

This one, so filled with hate and anger. She would make a fine vessel, and Vakhari was more than happy to provide the tools.

"Easily done, I already have some ideas to test later. We want you to be perfection, right? Can't excel at your deathcraft without the proper tools to do it, this is where I come in."

Vakhari smiles, putting forward her chipper self even if it was evident the present company couldn't care less about smiles.

Now inspecting the drawing she gets a better picture of it all, nodding her head.

"Two."

She states, keeping her smile as her head leaned up to make eye contact with Eira.

"You will get a pair, forged by me of course."

Her eyes then dart over to a machine before going right back to Eira.

"Coffee?"

"Time is too valuable to waste on the simplistic chattering of nothing." Eira stated as she looked over the weapon smith. It was good that she was willing to help Eira and seemed that the request was not going to be too tough or complex. That was the issue that Eira felt would be something she needed to face since while she was provided a decent income from her Master. A weapon too complicated could end up being a cost that was higher than Eira had the credits to pay for.

Nodding her head, "two. Helps with fighting to be duel wielding my daggers." Clenching her right fist, she wasn't naturally ambidextrous so her right hand was not yet as skilled as her left but that was what training was for. That was why she was training. Only way for her to improve the strength in the hand was having the balance of the weapon understood and building the strength. While also understanding her left hand might always be a little better.

Looking Vakhari in the eye, "I appreciate you doing this work. Let me know the costs and I will pay as soon as I can. I was also thinking of looking into a blaster that could function as a pistol but have the ability to configure into a sniper. I was thinking of a shadowy style katana as well but I think a Lightsaber that is silent might be better in the long run there..." Eira was thinking aloud on the other ideas she had for weapons moving forward.

Hearing the offer of coffee, Eira tilted her head, wondering if it was similar to caf, which Eira drank copious amounts of. "Black and bitter."

Her gloved hand gestures to the coffee machine across from them.

"By all means, go ahead and make yourself a cup."

She could appreciate the more simplistic nature of this woman, straight to the point. Though it seemed they were worried about the most common thing... Credits. For Vakhari, this was never an issue.

"I don't care about credits, if you really feel that bad then I am sure you can contact and send some sort of charity payment to my lab."

Vakhari never really trusted credits, she saw them as worthless. They only held value because other people said so, but in the end when the stars scream out as the galaxy withers, those credits will mean nothing.

The Lutris takes a stand, walking over to the coffee machine as she started to brew her own cup.

"There is value in bartering, and I am one who notices the true value in people."

Ding!

The machine beeps as her fresh brew was ready, steam rising as she gleefully took her drink.

"You obviously take your work- no no, your craft, very seriously. I sense that you will get the job done, and so I wish to barter with that in mind."

Placing herself back into her cozy little office chair, she takes a sip, letting out a pleased hum.

"I make tools for you, and in return I send you hits... Or alert you if I need help."

Crossing her legs she thinks over what else Eira asked about.

"A transforming blaster and a new longer blade.. Mmm.. For now we can focus on these daggers, but if you agree to my offer you can expect these tools. A win-win for you, right?"

She was certain that one day there was going to be someone, would be rather convenient to have an assassin on call. ​

Once Vakhari had made herself a cup of coffee, Eira approached and did the same, listening to the other woman. A donation in a charitable fashion to Vakhari's lab would be appreciated but not necessary which was intriguing but not unheard of. From what Eira had learned when seeking out the woman, Vakhari approached things differently to others. Saw things in the galaxy differently and this was a mere example of that. Instead as Eira poured herself the dark beverage, a bartering trade was suggested.

In exchange for the blades, and future weapons, Eira would take care of targets that Vakhari might have in the future. Eira's finger traced the rim of her mug, deep in thought. A blind acceptance of this offer was never going to happen. It would be far too reckless and be against everything that Eira stood for. Instead, she needed to set in rules, boundaries on what could be allowed. Her skills were available, that was not the issue, but Eira was more than a mere weapon. She still held her mind.

"Before I would accept a trade of that nature, rules need to be established. I will not blindly accept any target you send my way just because you are constructing these weapons for me. It is not how I operate. There are certain people off limits, I will never hunt and I will never harm. Those are the Kainites, Quinn and the Empress. I of course won't kill myself either." Eira stated firmly, those were people who Eira respected and felt some owed loyalty towards. "I am not someone who enjoys killing Sith in general, it is necessary sometimes but not my preference. But if your targets comply with my rules, then I will ensure they meet swift ends."

It was her job to kill and the more missions she had in order to train her abilities, the better she would become as an assassin. "I hope my terms are acceptable. And I am fine to focus first on the daggers, the other weapons can wait for now. Mere thoughts spoken aloud on what I wish to hold one day." Eira stated, not worried about having to wait on other weapons if Vakhari wished to make them for her.
