Private Another Star in the Family

[Seren Gwyn]

Seren raised an eyebrow at Dante's rather ominous assessment of what might happen if Varin broke her heart. She couldn't help smiling, however, appreciating the protective sentiment behind his words. "I suspect Varin would find your warning rather entertaining, little brother. But I appreciate the concern."

She took another bite of her meal before considering his question about Malachor. "Actually, I settled there before the Mandalorians took control. At the time, a small Sith movement called the Dark Court ruled the planet. I found a system of caves away from their activities and gradually turned it into my home."

Her expression warmed as she thought of Obsidian Hollow. "It's secluded, protected by wards, and spacious enough for my research. I wouldn't call it a hideout, though I suppose it serves that purpose well. The Mandalorian presence hasn't given me much reason to change my arrangements."

She smiled across the table. "Besides, I've grown rather attached to the place. It's the first home I've made entirely for myself, and I have no intention of abandoning it simply because someone else claims authority over the planet."

"I can understand why you are found of that place" He says thinking "So tell me what kinds of research you are focused now a days?" He smiles again looking curious "I know how Sith research can be dangerous" He move the fingers in teh right hand like to indicate he lost the limb because of a research

 

[Seren Gwyn]

Seren noticed the deliberate movement of Dante's cybernetic fingers, and her expression softened slightly. She suspected there was much more to his missing arm than he was willing to share, but she had promised not to pry.

"Lately, I've been concentrating on shadow manipulation and the Netherworld. Particularly the creatures that inhabit it, their relationship with the living, and the possibilities of interacting with them without resorting to enslavement or domination."

She took another sip of her drink, considering how much her research had changed over the years. "I've also been studying ancient sorcery and the nature of consciousness. There's an extraordinary amount we still don't understand."

Her amber eyes briefly returned to his right hand. "And yes, I know how dangerous research can become. Which is precisely why I intend to make certain our little cybernetics project doesn't cost you another limb." A faint smile accompanied the remark, although the concern behind it was genuine.

He look surprised "The Netherworld...is very close to my main research" he smile "Ancient sorcery there is a thing I need to study more and yes I totally agree about the cybernetics" He looks to the arm "I think if we cna do something that can work with the Power of the Dark Side and not be a problem..maybe some Sith's runes" He say already thinking in possibilities "Maybe study the metal Sith Alchemy can creat..." And he enter in Nerd mode, a Dark Side nerd mode but still

 

[Seren Gwyn]

Seren watched Dante become increasingly absorbed in the possibilities, a fond smile spreading across her face. She recognized that enthusiasm all too well, having spent countless hours pursuing similar questions herself. Apparently, their shared interest in forbidden knowledge ran deeper than she had anticipated.

"Sith runes are certainly worth considering. Particularly if we can incorporate them into the metal without compromising the arm's functionality."

She raised one finger and traced a small Sith rune in the air, using the Force to leave its intricate lines suspended in a faint crimson glow between them. She studied the symbol for a moment, then looked back at her brother.

"I understand them too, Dante. Quite well, actually," she said with a playful smile. "We could investigate alchemically treated metals, perhaps even create something capable of channeling the Force. Though I suspect we'll have to experiment before finding the right combination."

She allowed the rune to fade and returned to her meal. "I have a feeling we're going to get along remarkably well as research partners, little brother."

He smiles and takes a deep breath refocsin on her " Yeah, I know safety first I already lost an arm. I agree we gonna be good research partners" He soft chuuckles e finish to eat before speak again "and you can help me with another thing? As I told you I need more training in the lightsaber combat..."

He say serious and Seren can feel that pain on his pride to admit a weekness,he probably do it becuase it is wither and not other person "and that one we don't need to wait to arrive at your home to start,right?"

 

[Seren Gwyn]

Seren recognized the reluctance behind Dante's admission and wisely chose not to make a fuss. She knew how hard it could be to acknowledge a weakness, especially for someone who valued independence as fiercely as her younger brother did. Instead, she offered him an encouraging smile.

"Of course I'll help you, Dante. There's no shame in recognizing something you need to improve. Even experienced swordsmen have more to learn."

She finished her meal and set her utensils aside. "And you're right. There's no reason to wait until we reach Malachor. Varin's ship has training facilities we can use, including enough space for lightsaber practice."

Rising from her seat, she glanced toward him with a slightly mischievous smile. "Though I should warn you, little brother, being family doesn't mean I'll go easy on you. Shall we see what you've learned so far?"

He take some seconds to looking the tatoo on her back, he look at her whhen she ask about his training "Well jst the basic for now nothing much infortnelly. I can imagine you have a lot of experience with lightsaber considering your life?" He says withh a smile as he follows her

 

[Seren Gwyn]

Seren glanced back at Dante as they made their way toward the ship's training facilities, a faint smile touching her lips at his assumption. Given her history with both the Jedi and Sith, she supposed it was reasonable for him to expect her to be an accomplished duelist.

"Not really, actually. I focused much more on the shadows and Sith sorcery than lightsaber combat," she admitted. "I learned the fundamentals during my Jedi training, of course, and I've had opportunities to put them into practice. But I've always preferred using the Force itself rather than relying on a blade."

She considered him for a moment as they continued down the corridor.

"That doesn't mean I can't help you with the basics, though. I know enough to recognize poor technique and help you develop a proper foundation. Beyond that, perhaps we can find someone who specializes in lightsaber combat to teach us both a few things."

Her expression brightened with a little amusement. "It seems we might have more than one subject to study together, little brother."

He soft smile "It's gonna be interesting anyway" he walks arms folded he looks the corridor as he keep followingg,now starting to focus in memorizing the shi from inside so he will not get lost. Using the Force he feel teh lives inside,force sensitives and not sensitives, doingg it smoothly and quick enough to not be easy to percive, like a good Sith he is accesing the place.

Seren led Dante through the corridors, occasionally glancing back to make sure he kept pace. She noticed his attention drift toward their surroundings, and the subtle movement of the Force soon revealed he was doing much more than memorizing the ship's layout. A faint smile touched her lips. Apparently, her little brother was already assessing his surroundings like a proper Sith.

Rather than interrupt him, she decided to have a little fun.

With a barely perceptible movement of her fingers, Seren coaxed the shadows along the corridor into motion. They stretched across the floor behind Dante, then gathered into the shape of a large, indistinct creature. Its elongated limbs crept silently along the walls, while a pair of glowing amber eyes appeared within the darkness.

"You know, Dante, it's generally wise to pay attention to what's behind you when exploring unfamiliar territory," she remarked innocently, continuing toward the training facilities. She allowed the shadowy creature to linger for another moment before glancing over her shoulder, amusement dancing in her eyes. "Especially when you're traveling with someone who enjoys playing with shadows."

The creature dissolved harmlessly into the corridor's ordinary darkness, leaving Seren looking entirely too pleased with herself.

"Sister if yo notice what I'm doing you know I feel our moviment with teh Force right? But I need to say,quiet impressive your control over the Shadows,I have some but not like you!" He says genuinaly impressed "I can hide and attack form the Shadows but to mold and moviment like you did! I never did!" He is not lingg he is really impressed "But my study field I"m focusing in some more dangerous things to control" HE says in a calm tone with a little smile but his eyes are serious thinking about it

 

[Seren Gwyn]

Seren laughed softly at Dante's observation, conceding that her little trick had hardly been subtle enough to escape someone actively reaching through the Force. Still, his genuine appreciation of her abilities pleased her, especially as she considered how much they still had to discover about one another.

"Fair enough. I suppose I should have expected you to notice," she admitted with an amused smile. "And thank you. Shadow manipulation has been one of my primary areas of study for years. What you just witnessed is relatively simple compared to what can be accomplished with enough practice."

His mention of controlling more dangerous things caught her interest, though the seriousness in his eyes tempered her amusement. She had spent enough time studying Sith sorcery to appreciate both its possibilities and its consequences.

"More dangerous things? Now you've certainly caught my attention, little brother. Are we talking about summoned entities, spirits, or something else entirely?"

She slowed her pace slightly and gave him a curious look.

"I won't lecture you about pursuing dangerous knowledge. That would make me an extraordinary hypocrite. But I would like to understand what you're working with, particularly if there's something I can help you investigate."

"Well" He says moving his hand and thinking "Chaos" He smiles "The Chaos dimension it have creatures tat some cultures call demons,I'm studing and learn ow to summon nd control them...sure..I'm far to control te big ones" He moves he right arm "At list I know hoow to baanish tehm bac to the void!" He grins, a very Sith grin this time,his eyes flash Sit ellow for some seconds

 

[Seren Gwyn]

Seren raised an eyebrow at Dante's explanation, her curiosity immediately piqued. Summoning creatures from another dimension was dangerous work, although she could hardly criticize him for pursuing a subject so closely related to her own interests.

"Demons from the Chaos dimension? Now that is interesting. I suspect we have quite a few research interests in common."

Her gaze briefly settled on his cybernetic arm before returning to his face.

"I'm glad you've learned how to banish them, at least. Though I hope you're not relying on that as your only precaution."

She smiled, recognizing the unmistakable enthusiasm in his expression.

"You'll have to tell me more about your studies sometime. Perhaps we can compare notes once we reach Malachor. For now, though, shall we see what you can do with that lightsaber?"

He sighs "Nothing much" He says wiht that normal teenager annoiance, when they walk in the training area he grabs his lightsaber with his cibernetic arm bt doesn't turn his blade for now and look to his sister waiting an qestion or isntrction or even an attack,they are Sith after all
