Private Dark Matter

[Lina Ovmar]

Lina's hand closed gently around the bottle he pushed towards her. Slow deliberate movements seemed fine, it was the faster more subconscious moves that left her settled in two places. She lifted her gaze to Darth Strosius , his suggestion causing an eyebrow to raise.

The theatrics of his “death” had taken more than just physical issues, it seemed like he'd lost some of his fire. A low chuckle passed her lips and she shook her head. Biting back a comment. She was in no position to bait him into a rise, regardless of how fun it was.

“Are you offering your assistance, Lord Strosius?” She asked with a sly smile, the bottle turning slowly as she watched him.

 

[Darth Strosius]

"I'd think of it more as an exchange of favors, if it makes you feel more comfortable to do so." Generosity and especially charity were all too rare among the Sith to be considered genuine. All offers came with a hidden price, a deal that only one party fully knew and that both could break at any time. Such was the way of things. With Lady Ovmar however they did have something mutually of interest given their somewhat shared issues, for once it would be an equal exchange.

"If you're willing to return my ashes to me then I have no qualms about seeing what I can contribute to mending your own condition. It seems not unlike my own, albeit from a different angle." Darth Strosius had unintentionally anchored His soul into His body, resulting in the predicament He struggled with now, whereas it seemed as though Lady Ovmar's physical and spiritual selves were out of synchronization. One of them was too connected and the other was too disconnected. How fitting.

He doubted that she'd be keen on replicating the process that had bound His soul to His physical form however and He had no intention of performing it on another living being anyway. An alternate solution would be needed but He did have some ideas already. "Between the two of us, knowledge and laboratories combined, we should be more than capable of fixing your...state of being."
