[SIZE=10.6667px]Miad'rien'navruno was not an emotional individual. You could call her a [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]'smooth operator'[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px] for all intents and purposes. No matter the situation, no matter the pressure or trouble, there would be a singular constant running: Adrienna kept her cool and wouldn’t let it get to her head. In a lot of ways that was the reason why the Chiss Operative was quite… [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]confused[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px] about this entire ruckus, it seemed pretty clear-cut from where she was standing.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]It didn’t matter if Chevu knew or did not know that she was sleeping with a Sith. A Marshal should not have been in a situation like that - if this had happened amidst the Chiss… well, expulsion would have been the least of the green-skinned woman’s worries. Court martial followed by dishonorable discharge at best… imprisonment or even execution at worst.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]The Chiss did not feth around, and expected only the best of the best from their personnel.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]But perhaps that cold detachment from [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]intent[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px] and [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]empathy[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px] was why Rien didn’t get a Commander-position amidst the GA army. Didn’t really mean anything to her, as long as she could help break the hold of the Sith on her homeland? She would be happy and content.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]At any rate. Rien wasn’t a member of the New Jedi Order and did not personally know Chevu, which was why she hadn’t been present in the meeting itself, instead opting to wait outside. After ten to twenty minutes a very, very annoyed and angry presence stormed out of the room.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]Coren.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]"[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]C-man[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]." Adrienna called out, letting her old friend know that she was there. "[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]You alright?[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]" [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]She wasn’t an emotional person, but that did not mean she didn’t realize other people were [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]more[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px] in touch with their emotions - couldn’t hurt helping him out a little bit, maybe.[/SIZE]

Bothered? That was one word for it. People didn’t understand what was going on. Maybe he was the crazy one. He shook his head. No, the body double of the Wrath was within their ranks. Or the Wrath itself. Could they really think that the knowledge they could gain from the Wrath really be worth using? They were half Yuuzhan Vong, anything the frelling Jedi were going to launch against them wasn’t going to knick their mental fortitude. The Jedi were still too weak of a religion and organization to really get the knowledge from the Wrath.

And the actions that could be used to do that? It would just be more humane to all of them to eliminate the problem, tie up loose ends and re-educate everyone. Chevu was clearly failed by him, and that was enough of an insult to his own damned pride. Stepping from the trial, Coren had sent word ahead, via his datapad, to his droid. Power up the ship and prepare for departure.

Then he heard a voice. Great. A Jedi.

Another one.

“i'm fine.” And he didn't slow his roll on way to the hangar.

[SIZE=10.6667px]"[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]Coren Starchaser, you turn around and greet me right this instant or I [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]will [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]wipe the floor with you, like I did all those times on the Academy[/SIZE]."

Rien replied, her hands on her hips and brows high up in the ceiling. She might not be a very emotional person, but that didn’t mean that she couldn’t use ‘em whenever she needed to.

[SIZE=10.6667px]And apparently the meeting with the Jedi hadn’t gone as well as Starchaser had hoped, at least that was what the angst radiating from him told her.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]"[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]It’s a good thing Kaia is not here to see you. All [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]manners[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px] gone[/SIZE]." that last one dripped of sarcasm and good-natured pokes.

[SIZE=10.6667px]Most of these kids here might have been intimidated by [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]the Commander Who Wished To Slaughter ALl[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px], but Miad'rien'navruno didn’t get where she was by getting cowed by old friends.[/SIZE]

Academy? He recognized the Chiss, but he was really convinced she had her Starchasers crossed. As far as he was aware, because the Ascendancy Academy time was during the late end before he went into cryo, but what did he know, maybe there was academy training, but that was what… 20 years ago at this point for Coren? Carbonite made story arcs really fun. “Think you got your pilots confused,” he’d fire out in a clipped, heavily accented Cheunh.

What’d he have to do, turn around? Yeah, right. Meetings with Jedi never went well, and he just needed… distance, a place to think, time away from this all.

His pace didn’t slow as he kept on his path. “Kaia knows what we’re trying to build here.” Unlike some real-world leaders, Coren didn’t plan to quit until every Sith and dark sider were dead in a ditch. Get rid of that religion and Dark Jedi uprisings would be easier to quell.

[SIZE=10.6667px]Rien rolled her eyes, sometimes she forgot how dramatic humans could be in the face of emotional outbursts. It was one of the things she had to really adjust to during her time spent infiltrating the various organizations in the Galaxy - pretend she cared about all that icky stuff, pretend to be interested, hurt, happy, [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px]alive[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6667px] and less of a robot.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]A subtle influence in the Force was exerted - some Forcers liked to do things big: make huge explosions and influence a lot of things at the same time. Rien had traded that in for subtle, but very detailed application.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]Like hooking a friend’s foot in the Force to sent him stumbling.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]“Naw. Pretty sure that was you twenty years ago that I beat in pilot class.” she, too, switched to Cheunh in a more fluid way.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]“Look, Coren. If ya don’t wanna talk with an old friend just say so. You know the last thing I will get is hurt.”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6667px]In fact the Chiss would just shrug and go back to firing range, but a long eternity spent infiltrating taught her it was apparently important to keep paying attention to your friendships. Humans got itchy about relationships when they weren’t being maintenanced, or something.[/SIZE]
