Faction Rattle the Cage

[Ghruna]

Colette

"To fight someone is to know someone," Ghruna muttered.

There was no heart behind it now.

Dietary needs.

That was a knew phrase.

"I assume nerf steaks are not on the menu?" she replied. She grinned at Zaiya.

It would have been so easy to snap that little twig neck in her hands. Despite the temptation, she was no murderer. She had wanted to fight a jedi and test herself in battle.

"Meat, fruit, nuts. Nothing... Reheated from packets."

She had a strong aversion to processed foods.

Ghruna

"I assume nerf steaks are not on the menu?"

"They are. Sometimes." Colette shrugged and made notes of Ghruna's request. "Don't worry about processed chit. I refuse to abide by it unless necessary."

Colette pocketed the notepad and looked over at Zaiya for a moment. Technically it was her prisoner, but she supposed with Colette's role as councilor the authority was a bit 'greater' than usual.

Not that it was unusual to treat your prisoners well. It just made sense from a logical as well as pragmatic angle. A hungry prisoner had more reasons to remain uncooperative than a well-fed one was. And that was entirely besides the point that Ghruna seemed more lost than she seemed like an actual threat.

"We'll have some of the staff bring you new covers for your bed. If you want anything to read or watch while you're here, feel free to ask. Like I said, we're not here to torture you but we can't just let you go either."

 

[Ghruna]

Ghruna looked up.

She was a difficult and ornery half-minotaur. She was also hungry. Being knocked out by a forcefield was not good for the brain and her body was healing in placed she could not see. That took energy.

"I can only read massassi sith," she admitted. "Our people adopted it after we were visited thousands of years ago."

"A holo film perhaps?" she asked.

Ghruna's people were quite simple when it came to entertainment. They still preferred to gather as groups for performing arts and singing and fighting. She had, however, discovered that the humans had a love of action films. Those she quite enjoyed.

Colette Zaiya Ceti

Interacting with: Colette Ghruna

Zaiya let Ghruna and Colette have their discussion, with the Lovalla clearly curiously intrigued by the flow of the back and forth as much as what Ghruna was revealing.

By the time she was done tending to the Daughter of Jhyrack's injuries, the Jedi Knight was giving off thoughtful amber glints off her mottled spots.

The mention of holofilms brightened the Lovalla's face.

"Oh doyou enjoy holofilms? Do you have any particular genre you like?" She was far too happy about that bit of news.

Annoyingly joyfully so.

"I have a whole hololibrary of just about everything including some holoseries -- musicals too!"

 

[Colette]

Ghruna / Zaiya Ceti

Zaiya woke up and Colette chuckled for a moment.

"We'll… Let Ghruna have some time to settle into the moment." She said and put her hands on her hips. "The others have some good ideas of what someone might want to watch."

"Unless you have any preferences, we'll probably ask them for a good tip or two."

 

[Ghruna]

Zaiya Ceti Colette

Ghruna turned and levelled a blank stare at Zaiya. She had almost forgotten how annoying it was every time she spoke. It was like having nails hammered into the base of her neck with each syllable.

"My preference is that you take her with you when you leave," she said.

She jabbed a thumb towards Zaiya, but there was not much venom behind the comment. She was tired and it felt more like Ghruna was just saying anything to make herself feel less helpless.

"But... If they have any action flicks..."

Had Zaiya not been an empath, she might have been hurt by the quip.

Instead, of course, the Lovalla Padawan only gave an even larger joyful grin. And glowed, of course.

Obnoxiously, adorably, brightly glowed.

"Okay! I can see what I can do!" she sang, giving a happy clap of her hands as if her mission in life was to personally curate a selection of action flicks for Ghruna.

"I'll download them into a holotablet and bring it down!"

But with that, it was time to let Ghruna settle down and... what did Sith Acolyte detaines do? Was Ghruna going to be assigned to someone? Was she allowed to walk around or do anything? Or was she stuck in the cell?

Zaiya glanced at Colette, wondering if she would know what would happen next.
