Pirate Prince
When Elise poked him playfully in the ribs, Nimdok pretended not to notice, showing no reaction. But a few seconds later, just before Kurenai returned from the kitchen, his hand shot out and jabbed her right back. He thought Elise’s teasing might be a sign that she craved his attention, which was currently divided between listening to Kurenai’s story about Kiso and passively monitoring Miri’s mood through the Force, making sure everything was okay outside. Of course, if Elise wanted him all to herself, she could always come up with an excuse to get them alone together, like claiming they were tired from traveling and really ought to go to bed. Truth be told, Nimdok was pretty space-lagged after the trip from Saleucami, but awake and alert enough to still carry on a conversation.
Kurenai's tale certainly raised a few more questions. "The One Sith Wars?" he echoed, then quickly added, "I'm afraid I'm not as familiar with more recent events as I am with the rest of galactic history. The One Sith was the precursor of the current Sith Empire, correct?"
In actuality, Arimanes had been either still living on far away, remote Lao-mon, or deep in hiding in the Unknown Regions during the period of time Kurenai was describing, and therefore had only heard rumors of wars occurring elsewhere. Nimdok may not even have been born. Neither of the two personalities knew what she was talking about, which caused both some degree of embarrassment.
“Have you stayed in touch with Kiso?” he asked, trying to hide the faint exasperated blush on his face by changing the subject. She said they had met a few decades ago, but unless Kiso was also a slow-aging vampire or similarly long-lived being, all that time would have passed for her just as surely as any ordinary human would experience it.
