The Restored Temple of Dantooine

The restored temple of Dantooine had known quiet for so long that even its silence had settled comfortably into the stone… until its newest and least fitting occupant disturbed it.

Sevrin remained bound and kept beneath watch, a stain set within the sacred interior, offensive enough by presence alone. His cell was no true prison, only a side chamber repurposed by necessity. A narrow cot, a folded blanket, a basin of water, and a simple food tray accounted for its few comforts.

Braze's arrangements were humane, but temporary. They held Sevrin's body well enough, yet did far less to check the influence of the man inside. The Sith had proven patient, manipulative, and educated; the sort to sit still, study the shape of his cage, and slowly try pressing at its weaker points.

He had said very little worth trusting, yet something about his presence had already begun to unsettle the temple. Braze could not tell whether the old sanctuary merely resisted the insult of harboring him, or whether Sevrin had begun to press beyond the limits of the room meant to contain him.

Either way, the chamber would not suffice for long.

So he had sent word for Eloise Dinn , hoping she might help him devise something stronger than a side chamber claimed in haste and warding laid by necessity. Braze knew the limits of his own understanding, and knew as well that Eloise's past had brushed closer to darker rites than his own. Perhaps she might see more clearly what could be used to counter the restless Sith. Braze didn't call Eloise just to come look upon the problem he presented. If Sevrin was to remain there, the temple would need stronger wards … and that likely meant gathering what they lacked.

 

[Eloise Dinn]

“Braze, what the hell?”

Eloise had walked into the newly restored Dantooine Temple not really knowing what to expect—but a rabid Sith prisoner pacing in a barely adequate cell wasn’t it.

“You said you wanted to ask me about Sith sorcery,” she muttered, spreading her arms and then letting them drop to her sides with a sigh. Whatever. “What’s the deal with this dude?” she asked, pointing to Sevrin.

Sevrin was perched upon the floor beneath several layers of stun restraints, kept on a short chained leash affixed into the stone wall overhead. He sat slouched with his back against the wall in a loose, slouched posture, wearing the bindings as though they were little more than an inconvenience to him. Long dark hair had fallen free around his visage, leaving him with the appearance of someone languid and spent… but his pale blue eyes remained far too sharp for that sort of conclusion. They lifted to the newcomer and settled upon her with open, invasive interest, studying her, lingering upon the noticeable spill of long violet hair. A faint smile etched itself across his expression, slight and knowing, as if her arrival had given him something new to amuse himself with. He remained silent, content to watch the new comer for now.

Braze rose from his place within a small stone alcove on the opposite side of the large room as Eloise Dinn arrived.

"I do… particularly what sort of sorcery might be used to restrain a malicious Force user," Braze said lightly, jade-green eyes casting a wary glance toward the temple’s 'guest' before returning to her.

"He is not trained or refined in the ways of the Force, yet that has not stopped him from pressing at things better left untouched. I would prefer to make a chamber more properly suited to keeping an unwilling Force user, and I would rather borrow clearer eyes now than discover too late what I failed to guard against."He glanced briefly back toward the man.

"He arrived with murderous intent and set the hills ablaze… I can only presume he was searching for old artifacts left here by Jedi of the past. He has been less than helpful in explaining his presence..."

Braze was also deeply displeased with the man for the harm he had brought to the two younglings in his charge, and perhaps that was part of why he had sought outside assistance in dealing with the prisoner, realizing he might take the matter a touch too personally if he did not.
