A date exploring the valley of Korriban kings...

It was something that Eira hadn't realised would be on the table but when Phaelissia suggested it as a location for the date, it was kind of perfect in Eira's mind. She was glad to spend time with the other woman that was not going to be mission focused and she had suspected that Phaelissia for a while held some attraction to Eira. So Eira finally decided to make a move and offer a date since it seemed that Phaelissia was not confident enough to ask out Eira. Which was understandable since they were positioned very differently within the Sith Order. Eira wasn't one to care too much about ranks like that, but it was something she recognised as a fact others found important.

Figuring out what Phaelissia would be interested in was something Eira wasn't confident on but she figured once the date invitation was extended, Phaelissia might have some ideas. That was how their first mission together worked out, Eira mentioning vague or rough ideas and Phaelissia refining it into a plan that worked out.

Wandering through the valley, the location was one that worked in terms of Eira being both fascinated in anything she could learn further information on as well as being an area where she could offer some insight in. Sith history was something that she held a decent amount of knowledge about. Especially since she was someone who deemed that the history of the Order just as important as their potential future. Eira wore her outfit that worked for walking around and also cool enough to not overheat the young Sith during the date in the sun. Eira was sure that she would look amazing and wander around effectively.

Standing at the meeting point, Eira looked around, waiting for Phaelissia.

Phaelissia was still a novice when it came to matters of romance. Although she had once attended a wedding (and even offered the hosting couple a small gift), she had never regarded finding a romantic partner as a priority. After all, the extensive cybernetic augmentation she had undergone had rendered her infertile. Without a complete and arduous reversal of her enhancements, the prospect of children of her own blood was an impossibility.

At present, such things held little interest to her.

Her priority was service—devotion to the Eternal Father and the Shadow Hand as one of Their trusted Hands. Procreation was a matter for a future she had not yet earned, perhaps after the Eclipsing Mission was complete or the Father decreed it was time for her to contribute progeny to the Qoritdras. In that, perhaps she might even get lucky. Unlike her, her child might be born with the gift of the Force.

A future Sith, woven from a lineage of her own making.

Thus, in spite of Phaelissia’s lack of predilection towards romance, the knowledge that she was on a date with a bearer of such potential filled her with a giddy, reverent awe. How fortunate was she to be granted the personal attention of a woman whose future promised such grand and fearsome power!

How could she feel otherwise?

Thus, Phaelissia arrived at the meeting point with time to spare. Even in matters of casual romance, she did not want to leave a future Sith Lady waiting. Especially one such as Eira, who she had already found common ground with in serving the Eternal Father.

She came dressed in a casual, yet cute and fashionable outfit—a pink crop top with red heart prints, a hot pink cardigan, denim cargo mini-shorts, sheer stockings, and glossy platform chunky heels. Naturally, she had made sure to ask Eira what to wear. However, the Sith acolyte had insisted that she dress in a way that most expressed her.

Thus, pink, to complement her cyan--painted lips and eyes!

“Lady Dyn,” Phaelissia addressed her, the formal title slipping out with a deferential dip of her chin. She was uncertain if such reverence was appropriate for a casual date, but the stakes felt immeasurably high. The last thing she wanted to do was cause offense to one who walked such a sacred path!

As Eira watched Phaelissia approach, it was intriguing to see the differences in style between them. Eira was dark, aggressive and leather whereas Phaelissia was an explosion of colour and differing fabrics. It was something that only made Eira smile since she was not against such colourings nor did she think less of people who enjoyed them, it was just not colours that suited Eira in her mind. She was a girl who looked best in reds, blacks, golds and maybe silver and blue on occasion. But bright pinks, they were not something she could see herself wearing. However, the outfit and design worked very well on Phaelissia, it was a good compliment to the way she was naturally.

When Phaelissia addressed her, Eira moved forward and lifted the other woman's chin upwards, "if you wish to be on a date with me, best to call me Eira and look me in the eyes. The use of titles... Something we can discuss another time." Eira's thumb gently caressed the cheek of Phaelissia before Eira pulled her hand back. Teasing the other woman a little before the date even fully began. A confident smirk played on her lips as she enjoyed the feeling of power in this dynamic, it was different to the way she felt with others. Which was why Eira felt drawn in. The assassin assessed her desires on what attracted her to a person and whether it was an actual attraction or merely a desire to manipulate.

So far, in Phaelissia's fortune, this felt like a desire for an actual attraction. To connect with someone who saw her differently than others did. Seemingly worshipped her for being a Force User. It was new, exciting and Eira wished to know more on Phaelissia and her views.

"Tell me Phaelissia, what do you know about the tombs of Korriban?" Eira asked, curious to see what were the understandings and views from someone who was not a Force User and was not a Sith.

“Eira,” Phaelissia breathed, testing Eira’s name on her plush lips as her synthetic gaze widened with equal parts reverence and genuine, unpretentious awe while the Sith acolyte gently caressed her cheek. This close, the height difference between them was stark, forcing her to crane her neck in order to meet the woman’s smoldering, crimson-hued gaze. She found herself studying the striking canvas of Eira’s features, from the fierce, feral scar struck down her right cheek to the lattice of burn marks on her shoulders.

“I will call you Eira, then.” She affirmed, returning the Sith acolyte’s smile with a demure one of her own. Of course, they were not equals. However, just as Eira felt the magnetic pull of attraction, so too did Phaelissia. However, where Eira’s attraction was perhaps rooted in dominance, hers was an attraction of fawning desire. It was a stark contrast to the power that she was entrusted with as a Hand of the Dyarchy. It was a position that compelled others, even some Force-sensitives, to regard her as sacred, for her presence was in and of itself an extension of the wills of Darth Carnifex and Darth Prazutis.

The Eternal Father and the Shadow Hand.

When Eira asked about the tombs, a delicate flicker of surprise widened Phaelissia’s eyes, her brow furrowing in a faint, thoughtful crease.

“They are sacred.” Phaelissia replied after a momentary pause, her tone hushed and reverent. “Burial grounds of ancient Sith Lords, pure and holy nexuses of the Dark Side. They are places of ritual and trial, encompassing proving grounds, arenas, and chambers of worship dedicated to the ancestors from whom all modern Sith draw their lineage.”

A delicate flush crept up her neck, and she averted her gaze for a fleeting moment, fingers lightly tracing the seam of her cardigan.

“Why do you ask?” she ventured, her voice dropping to an intimate, almost breathless murmur. “Do you seek to take me to one?”

Eira nodded her head approving as she heard Phaelissia use her first name. It was cute to see that the other woman was nervous, but excited to do so. It was a welcome change of pace from others that Eira had been with who were more keen to be seen at a similar level to Eira. This was someone who knew they were always going to be vastly different levels within the Sith Order and that dynamic was going to be matched in their relationship. Especially as Eira began to make her way up the ranks of the Sith Order. Something that she was intending to do soon enough.

It was always just a question of whether her skills and abilities were there enough for Eira to be able to make such moves.

Pulling her hand back from Phaelissia's cheek, she listened as the cyborg gave her views on the Sith tombs on Korriban. It was nothing unexpected in a response and Eira nodded her head, she wasn't looking for a right or wrong answer. More intrigued in how the beliefs of Phaelissia would regard the tombs. "I see them as worthless nowadays. They have been raided and investigated for thousands of years. There are no secrets, treasures or gifts from them. At least from the well known tombs. I am sure there are still plenty that have been forever lost to history that could still resurface one day." Eira stated, it was probably a bold claim but it was one that Eira made since she did not think it was the Sith of old that would define the path she would take. It was not them teaching her how to become stronger or hone her skills.

"I ask because I am curious on your thoughts, the mind you hold and how your views on the galaxy shapes the opinion you make on things. I have seen you fight, construct mission strategies and utilise powers that attempt to mimic the Force. But this is a date, this is a chance for me to know the person you are." Eira explained, stepping towards the exit of the academy that would lead towards the valley of the lords. The tombs that were of the most infamous Sith Lords in history. "While, I might not regard the tombs as such as you do. I do think bringing you on visit to them and letting you see them could be a lot of fun."

A date that explored history and allowed someone who had limited experience with these tombs see more than she would normally, that was something Eira would always find fun. "Which one did you wish to start with?"
