[Introductions]

[Maleus]

"Orbital scanners engaged sir, no sign of immediate danger.. What would you like for us to do?" "Take us down to the planets surface. "At once sir." A shrill outcry came from within the engine room as the ship was pulled into Alderaan's gravity field. "Engage inertial dampeners." A series of pads extended out of the ships exteriors. As friction became the dominant factor of their descent their ship turned a bright crimson..

From above they caught the sight of ivory buildings and mosaic window-panes. It was a testament to the planets masonry, by far it was one of the most "aesthetically" pleasing planets. "Sir, we have arrived on Alderaan.." "Come my boy." He'd look to Tugoro. "There is someone I'd like you to meet.."

The doors opened, troops turned their head on a swivel. From the protective barrier Maleus and his companion would make their way to the capital of Alderaan.

"I'd like to introduce someone to you.."

Nervous didn't describe what Tugoro was feeling at this moment. After a battle on Kashyyyk that he had assumed was to the death, he had somehow become this Sith's friend, or that is what [member="Maleus"] had called him. Sitting quietly on the Imperial shuttle's bench, he would lift his head, turning to look at the Zabrak Acolyte before speaking. "Who?" He would question, the single saber still dangling at his waist.

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

Alexandra was in her normal, every day spot, only this time she was a bit more... odd. She seemed to have her face just inches from the water and staring directly into it without so much as moving a muscle as she stared at it, the weirdest part though wasn't that, but that her eyes were shut and her hands crossed behind her as she leaned forward to do this very action of holding her face inches over the water. [member="Tugoro Taidarious"] [member="Maleus"]

 

[Maleus]

"I can feel her presence.." They continued to walk, as they did this sweat corralled down his cheeks. It was obvious that he was nervous. He looked to the sky in awe.
The structures form afar looked celestial in nature, everything seemed light... From the buildings to the vehicles, everything remained pristine... But it was just one side of the sprawling metropolis. Like in every city thieves, murderers, and vagabonds remained.

But for the most part they had been swept to the side. Nonetheless they continued on, eventually coming upon his Alexandra's person. Without saying a word he'd bow before presence. "I bring..." He'd looked to Tugoro momentarily. "A friend."

[Tugoro Taidarious]

The boy would be surprised as he exitted the shuttle, finding himself on the planet of Alderaan. They had landed near the expansive forest, it being a location he had already visited in the past. Turning to glance at [member="Maleus"], a curious look would spread across the teen's face. "You were here, before." He spoke, realizing that this Zabrak was the presence that he had sensed. Walking down the ramp, the two would venture into the trees, coming upon a river where they would find [member="Alexandra Cinthra"]. Lifting an arm, he would wave to the silver haired lady, remembering her well. She was smart. Though, did she know Maleus?

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

Alexandra didn't seem to even notice them for a moment before finally sighing and opening her eyes as she looked at [member="Maleus"] with a sad look as if someone had died. "You scared away my subjects, do you know how long i sat there waiting for some fish to come by and remain in that spot long enough for me to see them through the force. Let me tell you, it wasn't less than fi- Uh hello." She looked past him at the boy beside him and waved her hand as her loose hair fell into the water with her still no more than a few inches from it. "I think weve met."

[member="Tugoro Taidarious"]

 

[Maleus]

"...........Fish..?" Maleus looked perplexed, such a thing as recreational fish watching eluded him. He'd rather just pluck them from the water they swam through and eat them whole, bones and all.

As she noticed Tugoro's presence he'd step aside and let them converse, however that'd go down. The boy was very........ Sheltered.

Tugoro Taidarious

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

Tugoro would quickly leave [member="Maleus"]' side, walking down the dirt bank towards the river that [member="Alexandra Cinthra"] stood by. He would stand near her, gazing down at the water than ran downwards, most likely going into some other water source. His eyes would squint as he began to focus, looking into the water for any fish. "He isn't Sith." He would say, his head craning to look at the dark cloaked Zabrak that stood not a ways off.

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

[member="Tugoro Taidarious"] [member="Maleus"]

"I would hope he wasn't otherwise he would get an ass kicking from me for becoming one, dont need more murders out there, ehh Maleus." She grinned at him, full well knowing who his loyalties lay with and that she could do nothing to truly change that other than let things run their course and him pick his own path. He was still a friend though and she would be there for a friend if he ever needed such, even at the expense of her own life as loyalty to companions came first.

 

[Maleus]

"......." Was his only response. Alexandra was smart, smarter than him.. She knew full well what he was doing, and he knew it as well. In fact her attempt at satire only soured his mood. He wished to apologize, to tell her he was trying to find strength and power... Instead all he accomplished was picking at his cloak awkwardly.

Though he'd whisper. "I am Sith..."
Alexandra Cinthra

Tugoro Taidarious

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

The boy's body would turn fully on his heel, as he walked away from [member="Alexandra Cinthra"], heading towards the alleged Sith that stood nearby. Stopping as he arrived in front of [member="Maleus"], Tugoro's brow would furrow as his mouth opened, speaking, "Why am I here?"

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

Alexandra nodded and looked at [member="Maleus"] as the boy spoke to him, a raised brow as she had the same question for Maleus, why had he brought the boy here and why was he here if he didn't want help. She was curious in the two's being here highly though she didn't voice those curiosities, only watched and waited for Maleus to explain to [member="Tugoro Taidarious"] what it was that he was meant to say.

 

[Maleus]

"To learn.." His eyes wavered to Alexandra and then back to the boy. She could very well deny him, but something told him that she would never turn down someone in need of help. She was the one after-all who saved him from himself when he was but a boy.

He'd cross his arms together in genuine contemplation, he was curious to see how Alexandra would react as his intentions were made known.
"Alexandra... He needs your help."


Alexandra Cinthra


Tugoro Taidarious

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

Tugoro couldn't help but be puzzled by the Sith's words, taking them in a negative manner. Lifting his arm, the boy's index finger would extend from his hand, pointing at the Zabrak. "YOU need help." He would say, a look of annoyance on his face.

[Maleus]

He'd snap his metallic hand towards Tugoro's finger in the attempt to swat him away. "Stop."
Maleus couldn't help but smirk, it would seem she would have her hands full had she decided to take Tugoro on. The boy had potential, he only hoped the boy would not adorn the rank of the Jedi.

[Tugoro Taidarious]

The childish, yet direct manner that Tugoro acted in sought to pierce the shroud that [member="Maleus"] had laid upon his emotions of light. Perhaps he had succeeded, watching as a grin spread across the Zabrak's face. The boy's arm would lower as Maleus' hand swatted his own, causing a rather unpleasant feeling. "What can she help me with?"
[member="Alexandra Cinthra"]

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

"Agreed on that, what is it i can help him with [member="Maleus"], because if its what i assume you mean it begs the question why you brought him here?" She began to tap her fingers and even for a moment one would see her look over the forest and make sure no one was in the shadows, to make sure this wasn't another trick by Ferus to get her while she was off guard. [member="Tugoro Taidarious"]

 

[Maleus]

Maleus, as if sensing her distrust would become visually displeased. "Despite what you may think of me, I am a man of honor. And I am a man of ethics... This kid hasn't been raised around civilized individuals and it shows. During our em... Our scuffle.. He swung about the planet like a primate. He has potential but like any jewel he needs to be refined.

His eyes traced the sky-line above, clouds billowed with power as the wind pushed them towards the North-East. Maleus would turn to look at his teacher once more. "You think I intend to lead you to your doom?"

Maleus turned on his heel, it was obvious he felt genuinely insulted. "I'm going back from where I came... Bye." He'd storm off.

Tugoro Taidarious

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

The boy would watch the duo talk, remaining quiet for the most part. Tugoro had a pretty good idea of what was going on at this point. Why did [member="Maleus"] want his master to train him? Turning to [member="Alexandra Cinthra"], he would offer a shrug, not sure as to what to do. His attention would be directed back to Maleus however, as the man decided to turn, seeming upset. He began to walk, leaving the river to head deep into the forest.
