There were far too many sides in the ideological conflict of the galaxy to ever fully understand them all. Both Abelain, and Joza seemed to agree upon that fundamental truth, and he iterated his acceptance of it with a simple nod of his head. It was saddening to consider that the galaxy was an 'ugly' place given that it's physical beauty in many aspects was breathtaking. The stars that spread out forever throughout the endless ocean of void were breathtaking in their apparent simplicity, and mentally stimulating in their evidenced complexity. The bright points of light that one viewed from the surface of a world were simply background to the struggles of daily life whether it was monotonous or strenuous, but when one flew close enough to the massive balls of burning hydrogen, they would find themselves filled with an aura of immense power emanating off of them. It was the same with many wonders of the natural universe, and one could even elicit similar feelings by viewing, or participating in the exploration of many ancient ruins and structures which stretched until they pierced the heavens, or stretched into the eternal depths of the abyss.
"If memory serves, Sullust is under the control of an enemy faction. I cannot help but to believe that I would be tortured, and mistreated by the scum that control the world, and so I am forced to decline your offer to consume 'tea' upon the world." Perhaps if he showed up with enough spectacle, they would be forced to accommodate for him as a diplomat in an attempt to ensure the general public didn't think they were being too cruel, but being a Sith meant that such luxuries weren't always offered. Granted, it wasn't as if the benefit would be given by the One Sith should a Jedi representative attempt to negotiate an agreement. "If you truly wish to continue this discussion, then we may be able to convene at a later date. Preferably when we aren't attempting to escape from a hostile stronghold, but I'll leave the decision to your curious mind." Mentally, he supplanted the word curious with the word strange.
After acknowledging that his previous pains had vanished, Joza stated that she had difficulty in performing any healing. It could be inferred that she was referring towards the process known as 'Force Healing' as she did not appear to have any previous medical history, nor training in any medicinal field. Abelain personally had used the Dark side version of the ability in the past, and had felt the consequences in his own body. Whereas the Light side of Force Healing simply allowed for rejuvenated health, or for intensified healing rates, the Dark side required the sapping of one's own strength for the purpose of supplementing the health of another. When Blazing Eye, and himself had been defeated by 'Nik', he had used the ability to staunch the flow of blood from his guardian's battered form in an attempt to retain his life. He had been a useful companion in the endeavors of the Arue'tii, and he intended to keep him physically fit for as long as possible. At the time, he had analyzed his own wounds, and judged in favor of receiving more to balance out the healing, but he had judged himself incorrectly. The internal bleeding had been difficult to stop, and many times he wondered whether his healing would have been sped up if only he had left his guardian to wallow in his own injuries for a short while.
His eyes tracked his pink-skinned companion as she pressed nimbly against the wall, apparently attempting to detect the foes that he had identified earlier. He knew instinctively that her choice of movement was being determined by an inability to locate the threat through the walls, and tried to imagine one of his most prevalent senses being stolen away from him, but the very thought of being unable to scent the blood of prey, and inferior beings made him wince. She turned rather suddenly at the onset of hearty laughter from the interior of a nearby room, and whispered urgently that they could either continue down the path of the hallway, or eliminate the threat that the two individuals posed. It took several moments until he understood that she wished to dress in the clothing of the hostiles, and he glanced down at the chitinous protrusions marking his elbows, and their evident blades. "I don't believe that this plan will work nearly as well as you wish, but I shall indulge you."
The Arue'tii leaned slightly over the smaller figure of Joza, arcing so as not to touch her as he cast a slight glance into the room. He assumed that he was intended to defeat the Trandoshan as it was the larger of the two figures, and would therefore provide for a more adequate disguise. The idea flickered into his mind to murder, and skin the Trandoshan for it's hide, but it was quickly enveloped by more rational thoughts, and sent away. Upon further reflection, he wasn't entirely confident that his mind hadn't been tainted somewhat by the presence of the Dark side during his sojourn into the galaxy, and the idea of using a fallen opponent's flesh for the purpose of clothing was somewhat new to his mentality. "I shall follow your lead." He whispered downward, his voice the same as a slithering serpent's as it hissed gently through the air, and down towards his compatriot.
