Private Super Secret Sith Stuff

[Darth Quizitus]

Coruscant/Upper Levels​

Afternoon/Partly Cloudy​

This was something Auzob had been looking forward to. A chance to spend time with Nuff again, on a civilized planet as well of all places. Of course, this was risky. Having a Sith Lord walking around in the GA capital wasn't the smartest of moves but he wasn't going to let that stop him. At least his brighter robes made him look less like Sith and more like an aristocrat. He also made sure to let Nuff know to try and not look like Sith.

Their mission was odd to say the least. He wanted to get into the ruins of the old Jedi temple from centuries ago. They held some of the strongest Sith artifacts in the galaxy and after their downfall, one of the greatest Sith to ever live used it as his palace. In all honesty, he doubted that there would still be stuff left, but he had to be sure. And with so much free time on his hands, this was as perfect a time as any. Plus, being on a planet as diverse as this, he and Nuff could actually spend some proper time together. Not just as Master and Apprentice, but as what he really saw her as.

The shuttle touched down and the boarding ramp lowered for them. Auzob looked at Nuff and gave her a smile. "You ever been to Coruscant outside of missions? Just to see it yourself?" he asked her with sign language. He motioned for her to follow and walked towards the edge of the landing pad. His glowing amber eyes studied the landscape, enjoying the simple beauty of the planet that never sleeped. No matter what, something was always happening. He looked to Nuff and gave her a tap on her shoulder to get her attention. "Just remember, we're not Sith here. Keep your lightsaber out of sight. Remember what I taught you about blending in." he spoke with pronounced lip movements, letting her read them. He gave her a grin and wrapped an arm around her as he started to walk to an airspeeder they brought along. He let one of the soldiers drive as he and Nuff got into the back of the speeder.

The speeder took off but instead of going directly to the temple, Auzob decided on something better. "Take us to this location." he ordered the pilot as he sent the coordinates to a rather expensive candy shop to his personav, taking full advantage of the fact that Nuff couldn't hear them talk. He looked back to her. "I have a surprise for you." he signed to her before settling in. After a short trip they landed in front of the store and Auzob got out, stepping aside for Nuff to get a proper look at the store. He waited patiently for her to figure out what kind of store this was.

Nuff took her dad's advice to heart and didn't really question it and arrived in a very bright and colourful outfit for their bonding trip. It was just out of luck that Nuff looked in Auzob's direction as Nuff had, during the entire flight down to the planet and flying to their landing zone, looked excitedly out the window. The girl had been could sit still in her seat and pressed her face against the glass to see everything.

"Everything is so big!" Signed Nuff cheerful and heard the announcement of their arrival. Spinning around and waited giddily in her seat for the ramp to lower. "No! and I'm so excited to see everything!" signed Nuff with the biggest smile she could muster. That was easy and Nuff just nodded rapidly and dashed out of the ship only to run over to the edge of the platform and look down to a drop where more ships were flying by. Running back to her father, he received a big hug, jumping into his arms, before dropping down beside him.

Nuff didn't care where they went, all she knew, was that she couldn't stop looking at everything with overexcitement. Nuff was not paying attention to anything her dad was saying or doing, not that she could hear anything anyways and almost dangle off the edge of the speeder, to see the view underneath the speeder. Looking back at her dad, she was about to point at something, when she read his lips.

Eyes went wide and hugged Auzob again and when they arrived at the store, Nuff dashed inside and stopped when looking around. While she has never tasted Candy before, she loved the colours and all the shapes and sizes everything had.

Looking back at her dad, "what is it?" She signed with her hands.

Cas dreamt of him again. Of the Sith Lord that took his arm and scarred his chest. Only this time it wasn't a nightmare, it was a vision - his gift allowed the Force to show the Jedi Knight Quizitus' actions before he even made them. In his dream he had seen the Sith Lord attempting to desecrate another desolate Jedi Temple, only this time it was on Coruscant.

With the mission being too dangerous for his Padawan, Cas left her with Adrian back on Kashyyyk as he headed off to Coruscant to stop Quizitus. After arriving on the metropolitan planet, the Jedi Knight swiftly made his way to the historical landmark in a rented speeder.

During the drive there, Cas replayed the events of their previous meeting over and over again - fearing that the events would repeat itself, remembering how much he hated the Sith Lord and how he still wanted to make him pay for everything. Taking a deep breath, Cas calmed his thoughts and centred himself... these were anxieties and the PTSD going through his mind. Cas tightened his grip on the steering wheel and watched the skylane unfold in front of him with laser focus and determination - he needed to remember that he was a Jedi Knight now, he had grown more powerful in the time since his greatest loss and now, knew better than to underestimate his foes.

Nearing the Temple, Cas would continue psyching himself up for the rest of the journey there.

It was a treat to see Nuff so happy. She was Sith but she was still a child. Children needed to enjoy their time being young. Once they entered the candy shop, he chuckled at the sight of her freaking out over everything. She asked what it was and he simply signed back "Candy"

He figured he could introduce her to something simple. A cone of vanilla ice-cream. "Eat it slowly. And lick it, don't bite." he explained to her before handing her the cone. He ordered one for himself and bought a pack of chocolate-coated biscuit balls for them both before motioning for her to follow. He calmly ate his cone, making sure she could see him. Perhaps keeping her from stuff like this for so long wasn't the best choice he made.

With the little spoiling session out of the way, he got back into the speeder after they finished their cones and handed her a pack of sweets. "Once we're done, we can come back. Maybe get a bit more adventurous." he assured he with a smile before popping one of his sweets into his mouth. The speeder flew them towards the ancient temple's location. However as he got closer, he felt a presence. It felt familiar, though he couldn't tell who it was. All he knew was that it was Jedi. "We're not alone, Nuff. Keep your senses sharp." he told her, making sure she read his lips. The Twi'lek adjusted his robes and made sure his lightsabers were in easy reach. The speeder landed by the steps leading to the front entrance and he got out. His amber eyes scanned the area but primarily he kept his senses open. The presence was close however he was calm. It was beneath a Sith such as him to panic or get ready to fight at the first feeling of trouble.

However another thought formed in his mind. Nuff was highly trained and dangerous when in a fight. Having her skills tested by a Jedi could perhaps be an interesting test...

Nuff Cadere

 

[Nuff]

Her dad had to stop her a couple of times, from not tasting every single candy piece she stumbled upon in the store. By the time they exited with a vanilla ice-cream, Nuff was in a giddy state of mind and looked with wide eyes and the biggest smile her dad had ever seen. And of course, even though he explained to lick and not bite her ice-cream. The moment she took her first lick and tasted the ice-cream, she bites a big chunk off with an excited little dance to add.

Chewing happily, giving her dad a big joyous smile with ice-cream all over her face. However, her smiling mood quickly turned into that of pain, followed by her holding her own head with her free hand. What she didn't know, was that she had just received her first brain freeze. As the best she could, she signed with her hands while trying not to drop her ice-cream, "it hurts! Why does it hurt?!" asked Nuff confused with her hands while being mad at her ice-cream for doing that.

The brain freeze quickly subsided and Nuff looked at her ice-cream with such a death stare, ready to throw the evil candy far away from her! But decided to teach the mean ice-cream a lesson and powered through a couple more brain freezes and ate it whole. That'll teach the stupid ice-cream to cause her pain!

All too wrapped up in her little fight with an ice-cream, Nuff realized that she was in front of the speeder again. Hearing more adventures with her daddy, brought a wide cheerful smile to her lips and the evil ice-cream was long gone from her train of thoughts.

Nuff felt the same presence, however, unlike her daddy, Nuff hoped it was who she thought it was! Then they all three could go on an adventure together! Nevertheless, she has learned to never underestimate uncertainties, and she has never gone against her dad's words, so with her mind sharp and hand ready for her lightsaber, made Nuff ready for anything.

Parking the rental outside the staircase leading up to the old Jedi Temple, Cas made the trek up the Temple staircase. Just before reaching the top, the young Jedi turned round with his back facing the Temple's entrance a few feet away from him, sitting down on the tallest step he raised one of his knees up while his other was relaxed lower down some of the stair steps below. Staring at Coruscant's sky, he would wait for his adversary to arrive.

During his wait, Cas glanced at the statues and pondered what it must have been like to be a Jedi during the height of the Old Republic - just before the Clone Wars. Despite his love to be active and for adventure, he had to admit, he envied how peaceful things must have been back there - even for a Jedi, all they had to worry about was simply keeping the peace.

Eventually, he sensed Quizitus - his cold presence was all too familiar, but that wasn't just it... he sensed something else too, something familiar also. A chilled presence with a hint of warmth, like the sun's rays cracking through the clouds on a breezy day. Cas hoped it wasn't her, he prayed it wasn't for he didn't want her to witness what potentially was about to happen. Nonetheless, he couldn't let the two desecrate the Temple.

Standing up, the Jedi Knight unclipped his lightsaber from his belt and held it in his left hand. Taking a deep breath, he glanced around the Temple for any potential hiding spots or vantage points, in order to surprise the incoming Sith. Turning his gaze to the large statue that reached the top of the stairs, the Jedi used the Force to propel himself upward to the top of the colossal statue before subtly hiding behind it, out of sight from someone approaching the Temple. For now, he waited.

Darth Quizitus Nuff

 

[Darth Quizitus]

It was amusing to see Nuff fighting the ice-cream, though it gave a good example for what he said. Once they were done, he would explain to her. Right now wasn't the time to explain to her what brain-freeze was. Perhaps keeping her from candy and sweet things wasn't the best choice he made...

As they approached the great statues of the old Jedi temple, Quizitus could feel the presence growing closer. "They are close. Eyes open." he signed to Nuff. As he reached the staircase, he closed his eyes and opened himself to the Force. His vision expanded all around him, allowing him to see everything through the Force and not just what was in front of him. It didn't take long to find where the presence was hiding. A sickening smirk crept onto his lips as he opened his eyes and glanced at Nuff. "Come out, little Jedi!" he called out, glancing up at the top of the statues. He didn't have an exact location, but what he had now was more than enough.

He tapped Nuff's shoulder and indicated to the top of the statues. With one hand he quickly signalled for her to investigate while his left hand summoned a lightsaber. With his weapon at the ready, he calmly pressed on, leaving Nuff to scout the surrounding area. "Don't make this harder for yourself now! There doesn't need to be any conflict if you leave!" he called out, glancing around as he gave his hilt a twirl. This Jedi was anxious, he wanted to fight. Not quite what he was used to. However he wouldn't mind a fight at all if this Jedi really wanted one.

[Nuff]

Unclipping her single hilt lightsaber from her belt, Nuff kept her eyes sharp and nodding to her dad's direction. Reaching out to the force, she took command of his and cloaked herself in shadow and disappeared with a blink of an eye in front of Quizitus.

Moving up along the stairs, she stepped off of them to the left and flanked around and like Cas, propelled herself up on one of the other pillars, to get an overview of the area and maybe even catch the Jedi off guard! Her dad going to be so happy if she manages to surprise the Jedi, which caused Nuff to form a giddy grin.

Standing on a small platform in the pillar and started to move around it, to get a better look at the surroundings. That's when she saw Cas hiding behind one of the other pillars. If joy was a person, that person was Nuff right at the moment. Nuff's smile only grew and her eyes lit up with happiness, seeing her soon to be bestie that wasn't a soldier or officers!

She was so happy, that she honestly couldn't stand still and started to jump in place, waving her hands. However, no matter how much she waved her hands in the air, the Jedi just wouldn't notice her! After a couple of second of literally jumping and waving her hands like a lunatic. Nuff started to get annoyed with the stupid Jedi for not reacting to her waving. When she realized that she had used the force to cloak herself, she felt a bit silly, she dropped her cloak and started to wave to Cas, from the other pillar.

As he waited for the opportunity to get the drop on the Twi'lek it was already too late. Cas rolled his eyes and sighed at his presence already being discovered before quickly firing back "Funny, I was about to say the same thing, Squid-head!" while he did so, he could sense Nuff's presence close by but elected to ignore her. He was fond of the kid, he really was but his duty came first.

Catching Nuff's eyes, he shook his head at her waving - see, this was one of the issues he had mentioned to her before about being 'friends', this whole Jedi-Sith feud would kill the friendship before anything could even truly blossom. Flashing her an apologetic look, his face quickly hardened again as he returned his attention to Quizitus who was in front of the statue and behind him.

Conducting a small barrier around himself with the Force, for what he was about to do couldn't be interrupted by the use of telekinesis. The young Jedi Knight quickly ignited his amber lightsaber, its snap hiss echoing behind the large statue, and leapt over its head in a somersault. Following a light, but quick Force push to stagger his opponent, Cas raised his lightsaber over his head and prepared to strike at the Twi'lek Sith Lord's head as he landed "Remember me, Squid-head?!" he hollered. He'd been waiting two years for this.

While Nuff moved around, Auzob continued forward. It didn't take long before the overeager Jedi revealed themselves. A push hit him but he merely stumbled back a bit before launching himself to a safe distance from his attack, turning to face his opponent. His feet touched down safely out of the Jedi's reach and his calm composure returned. His lightsaber was in his hand but it remained extinguished for the moment. Unlike his opponent, he really wasn't in a rush. Nuff was still up there and he fully expected her to take the Jedi out while his attention was diverted.

He looked him over, finding the yellow blade to be an interesting addition for a Jedi. Either the Force started to develop a fashion sense or this guy had some issues that was eating at him. He was pretty confident it was the latter. "Can't say I do. Should I?" he answered calmly, almost sounding bored as he looked him over. He had to admit that there was something familiar about him. His amber eyes studied him hard until realization hit him. His eyes lit up and a smug grin appeared on his face. "Oh! Now I remember. You're that boy that attacked me a while ago." he called out, happy that his memory wasn't that too bad.

His posture shifted as a hand moved in behind his back and his left side turned to face his opponent, taking on a rather elegant Makashi pose. "I must say, I'm surprised that you managed to get yourself out of there. Last I saw, you were rotting in the sun. Tell me, how is that scar of yours? You wearing it nicely?" he taunted calmly, trying to see just how fired up this Jedi was.

Focusing on Nuff, he opened his mind to connect with hers. He knew she hated it, but in this case it seemed that he had no choice. "Nuff. End him." his telepathic voice echoed quietly in her mind, just enough to get the message through. At the same time, the Force started to brew within him. The Jedi clearly had become more powerful. He wasn't intimidated in the slightest but in this case he wasn't going to take chances.

[Nuff]

Nuff was so happy to see Cas again, that when his eyes hardened, it made the girl confused. Seeing everything happened before her eyes, him attacking her dad and going into an aggressive posture. As she was about to jump into action, she heard her dad in her mind. Now, Nuff had been much better at not completely shatter when hearing voices in her mind, but it still made her hyperventilating and she needed to imminently handle it or she would get another panic attack.

Nuff had also been much better at handling her hyperventilating and panic attacks. Luckily, she was quick to snap out of an incoming panic attack. A bit dazy from it, she saw her dad enter his Makashi pose and knew he was serious now.

Dashing into action, Nuff jumped from the pillar and landed between her dad and her bestie. With both arms spread out, Nuff kept each fighter from advancing towards each other.

The next thing that happened, was quite comical in a way and yet weird as Nuff went into a silent scolding with sign language at both men. First, she faced Cas with a grumpy stern look, "how dare you to attack my daddy! That was very mean of you! How would you feel if I went and pushed your dad?!" Scolded Nuff in sign to Cas while at the same time being completely silent.

Then she turned to her dad and for once in her life, she went against his order as she started to scold him too. "Don't kill my friend! It's very rude daddy! He's the only real friend I have!" While not as bad scolding as the one Cas got, it was still out of nowhere scolding from his daughter. After her little teenage scolding to both fighters, Nuff crossed her arms and gave both a disappointed stare at them both. However, her disappointed stared looked more adorable than angry.

Though, she was ready to jump into action, if both tried to attack each other.

The tip of Cas' lightsaber slammed into the duracrete as he landed in a crouched position, sending cracked ripples through the ground. Removing his lightsaber from the ground, Cas quickly backflipped to his feet. Damn this guy was as cocky as ever, the Jedi Knight's grip tightened around his hilt gripping it so hard that he was half-worried the strength of his cybernetic arm would snap the hilt into two.

Cas' brown eyes looked over the Twi'lek with complete disdain. Finally, he recognised the Jedi Knight although, he was sure that his whole 'bit' about not recognising Cas was a poor attempt at getting under his skin. Recognising the Makashi stance, he returned with a Shien one. The taunt laid out by the Sith, he couldn't lie, bothered him slightly and his jaw clenched in response "Definitely wearing it better than the fail you call facial tattoos. The Nightbrothers called, they want their look back." he fired back instantly and without hesitation.

With a twirl of his amber blade, he sensed Nuff's presence nearby and remained cautious - he knew she was more loyal to the Sith Lord than she'd ever be to him. The Jedi Knight prepared to rush toward the Sith Lord - his plan to completely overwhelm him with his speed and not let him get a single strike in. Only Cas was quickly stopped in his tracks when Nuff dropped in front of them "Move, Nuff!" he yelled before remembering she was deaf.

With her sign language she began to scold him which earned the Nautolan an eye roll from the Kiffar. Following their first encounter, Cas had been studying Sign language for whenever he encountered her or another deaf individual again, while he understood it fine, he had issues signing himself. Her comment about 'pushing his dad' made him glance away, scowling slightly, she'd be doing him a favour. Him and his father hadn't been on good terms since before he left Kiffu.

When she was finished laying it in to both the Jedi and Sith, Cas attempted to sign to her awkwardly still holding his lightsaber hilt in one hand "Me won't let you father inside Temple Jedi." positive that he had botched that sentence. After, he glared at the Twi'lek "Hear that, orbak face? You're not getting inside that Temple." he relayed to the Sith. Ready to fight if he wouldn't back down.

Darth Quizitus Nuff

 

[Darth Quizitus]

The kid kept throwing sub-standard quips at him, merely earning a scoff from the Sith Lord. "Was that supposed to offend me?" he asked simply with a raised eyebrow. Finally Nuff decided to arrive to the fight... or so he thought. His brow curled into a frown as she scolded the both of them. What bothered him most was the fact that she called the Jedi her friend. He shot Nuff a hard look before glancing back to the Jedi as he spoke. "It's rather difficult to hear sign language." he stated flatly.

"We shall discuss this later." he signed to Nuff, indicating for her to follow him. "Hate to burst your bubble, but I wasn't asking for permission. I'm here to retrieve what's rightfully Sith property. Now kindly leave before I finish the job properly." he called out to the Jedi as he made his way up the stairs, clipping his lightsaber to his belt. Though, while it appeared that he was letting his guard down, he was still on high alert. He knew the Jedi wouldn't just let him go... but honestly, the boy hardly deserved his time to begin with.

Looking to Nuff, he pointed to his lips. "Unless he leaves, he is going to be a problem. Once we have that artifact, we have to talk about your choice of friends. And where did you meet him to begin with?" he mouthed to her, keeping his senses open all the way as he reached the entrance of the temple. He couldn't deny that he was bothered by Nuff's comment about the Jedi. The fact that she considered a Jedi to be her only friend in the galaxy was a rather problematic aspect. It also raised another issue if he were to kill the Jedi. Nuff would become stronger as a Sith... but in turn she would likely never forgive him for it. That was an issue he'd rather not be stuck with. All of this was shaping up to put him in a rather downtrodden mood. Fishing one of the chocolate balls from his pocket, he popped it into his mouth before handing Nuff one as well. At least the biscuit and chocolate managed to lift his mood.

Cadere Nuff

 

[Nuff]

Nuff lowed her head, realizing she had just scolded her own dad, the very person she looked up to. Reading his signing, Nuff nodded submissively and started to follow her dad, but stopped after taking a step. Looking back at Cas, Nuff looked conflicted as she really wanted her bestie hurt or fight him again. Giving Cas and her dad a pleading look, "can't we just be friends?" Asked Nuff hopefully in sign as she grabbed her dad's arm to make him stop as they met the entrance.

Nuff would love to explain to her dad how and where she managed to gain such friend as Cas Tynen. However, the feeling of a fight brewing between her dad and her friend, made Nuff anxious and didn't want to fight Cas. In fact, Nuff much rather wanted them to talk, laugh and have fun together, which gave Nuff the brilliant idea ever!

Letting go of her dad as a renewed grin formed on Nuff's face, as she pulled her dad, also known as Darth Quizitus, down the stairs again. If her dad resisted, Nuff would let go to explain her idea before she pulled him down to Cas. Else she would let go of her dad when they ended down by the stairs again or meet Cas midway if he had followed them.

She would then stand between the two men with her ever so childlike grin, spreading from ear to ear, "We should all go eat candy and be friends!" signed Nuff excited for her perfect plan. Well, she thought it was a perfect plan and waited for her friend and dad to totally agree with her genius idea.

Cadere Darth Quizitus

 

[Cadere]

"Wow, you're a perceptive one." Cas retorted, retaining his smart-ass demeanour despite them not offending the Twi'lek. He didn't care though, it was just fun to do anyway. Making a 'tsk' sound at the Sith's snarky retort, he simply rolled his eyes "Okay, smart ass."

Nuff and her 'father' began making their way toward the Temple, he scowled into the distance before returning his gaze to the two Sith. He flicked his lightsaber, creating a swift and sharp hung as he did so "You talk big, but you're the one walking away!" he called out, growing increasingly irritated at the Twi'lek's nonchalance "Scared it'll be a fair fight this time?" he said, hoping to goad the ego that all Sith were known for. He was so eager for this rematch, and so eager to stop him from getting what he wanted. If they wandered any further, he'd have to engage himself.

As he attempted to provoke the Sith Lord, he also noticed the exchange between Nuff and her father - although he had no idea what they were saying and was too far to see what Nuff was signing. He then watched as she brought her father down the stairs and back to him - he raised an eyebrow, puzzled at what was happening. His only thought was that she was going to attempt to mediate again.

Reading the signs she made as she stood in-between them "W-what?" he instinctively exclaimed, baffled at Nuff's idea. The Knight spread his arms out to convey his bewilderment "Why on--" he stopped himself, remembering she was deaf and resorted to his botched sign language "Why me would hang out him with?" he signed passionately to her. He took a step closer to the pair "Just get the hell outta here, man. I really don't wanna have to do this in front of your daughter." Cas stated coldly, glaring at the Sith's golden eyes.

He didn't want to disappoint Nuff, but this... this was too personal for him. How could she want them to be friends? After everything Quizitus had done to him. The bastard fed his severed arm to a damn Tuk'ata.

Darth Quizitus Nuff

 

[Darth Quizitus]

The boy kept throwing taunts his way, trying to provoke the Sith Lord. But Quizitus ignored him completely, finding it more amusing to look past the taunts. The boy's faith was slipping. He was aggressive, he was violent... he wasn't at all what a Jedi was supposed to be. He was pulled out of his thoughts as he felt Nuff grab his arm and pull him back down the stairs. He was about to halt and pull himself free, but the smile on her face told him otherwise. Poking right at that soft spot in his heart for her, her happy smile won him over and soon he was walking after her down the stairs. A neutral expression was on his face as he eyed the boy, waiting for Nuff to explain herself.

His face contorted into shock at her suggestion, though it turned into a wicked smile as he watched the Jedi's reaction. "I think it's a fantastic idea." he commented smugly, glancing at the two of them. His smug look slipped into annoyance as the Jedi threatened him again. The Dark Side swole and emanated from the Sith Lord as he slowly closed the distance between him and the boy. He gently pushed Nuff aside as his amber eyes glared at him. His lightsaber was in his hand, but remained extinguished as his raw power flowed from him, battering away at the little bit of light that still came from the pathetic excuse of a Jedi. "Listen to me now. This is the first time in Nuff's life that she set foot on Coruscant, not to mention the first time that she had candy in her life. You could argue that this is the happiest day in her life." he explained coldly, his voice warping slightly as the Force swelled within him.

"So here are your options, boy. Either you leave now and we continue on with our expedition, or I kill you now and also solve your little existential crisis in the process... or you shut up and accompany me and Nuff to go eat candy and have a good time. Your choice." he explained harshly, leaning in to tower over the boy. He didn't have a problem ending the boy's life. He just wasn't looking forward to Nuff's mood afterwards.

Glaring into the boy's soul, he waited for an answer. "Well?" he spoke up, putting more pressure on the boy.

Cadere Nuff

 

[Nuff]

Nuff looked between her dad and her best of besties with an adorable grin, complimenting her big very puppy dog-like eyes as she just nodded in response to Cas's shock expression. eagerly signing back, "because it would be fun!". Standing between the two towers, Nuff didn't really pay attention to any threats or even read the lips of what her dad and Cas said to each other. She was too excited and Tucked at the sleeve of both individuals before her, to pull them towards the ride that Quizitus and herself arrived in.

Letting go of their sleeves, Nuff twirled around, having her headtails swing wildly and ran with arms out and approached the waiting speeder her dad paid. Nearly giving the poor driver an early grave when she planted both hands on the window, Nuff started to sign, "heeeey! Hey! You can take us to that candy store, right?" Asked Nuff in sign, really confusing the driver as he not exactly knew how to read and sign himself.

Turning around, she looked at her dad and Cas, waving them to hurry as she didn't want anyone else to take all the candy, leaving nothing for her! It was rather comical in some way, as she only saw the positive in this and knowing that they would go on a fun journey all three to get more candy, really pumped her excitement to a whole new level.

[Cadere]

Cas felt the Dark side continue to radiate from the Twi'lek as he threatened him, however the Jedi Knight continued to stand his ground as he looked the Sith Lord directly in his eyes. Once he was finished, a smirk crept on the corner of his mouth "Was that supposed to scare me?" he retorted, scoffing slightly "I've faced people tougher and scarier than you since we last met, and they all had one thing in common: they put their credits where their mouths were.." Cas continued, pressing his index and middle fingers into Quizitus' shoulder and giving it a light push.

After that, Cas expected a bit more push back and was ready to react in anyway how. During that interlude though, the Kiffar weighed his options as he glanced over to an excited Nuff - as much as he wanted to wipe that smug look off her Dad's face, and despite his acting as if he didn't care about fighting with her around, he did, Cas didn't want to upset the young Nautolan... nor hurt her, not like he accidentally had done before. Besides, if he agreed to go, it'd at least get them away from the Temple - but when they were finished eating candy, what was to stop them from coming back?... It'd have to be a plan for future Cas.

Locking eyes with the yellow eyed bastard once more, Cas let out a tiny huff "Alright, guess we'll have to postpone our rematch. Spoiler alert, I would've kicked your ass and I'm still going to." he stated, turning his body slowly to face the speeder in the distance. Glancing between the Sith Lord and the speeder, Cas promptly pushed him to the side and jogged toward the speeder hollering "Last one to the speeder is bantha poodoo!" as he made his way over.

Cas was partly agreeing to this as to make amends for causing Nuff's panic attack all those years ago, but it didn't mean he wasn't going to annoy the crap out of his Twi'lek nemesis and make him re-evaluate his entire life choices.

Darth Quizitus Nuff

 

[Darth Quizitus]

The boy's retort made Auzob chuckle deeply. "And look at you now. Barely better than the side you despise so much." he spoke calmly. His shoulder shifted at Cas' touch, but other than that he didn't move as he stared down the boy. With as much angst and buried darkness in him, it was a miracle that he still classified as a Jedi. He just hoped that if the Jedi did something stupid, he would do it quickly. He was rather looking forward to that ice-cream...

He finally decided to accompany them, though his overconfidence made the Sith grin with amusement. "Perhaps you can learn from those scarier adversaries and put your credits where your mouth is." he quipped simply as he turned to walk past him towards the speeder where Nuff was giving the poor driver a heart attack. However he was shoved aside as Cas sprinted for the speeder. With an annoyed sigh, Auzob raised his hand and wrapped the force around the Jedi to place him in a powerful stasis. Going even further, he lifted him up and slammed him into the ground to hold him back as he calmly walked past, barely looking like he was using any energy to hold him there. He fully expected the boy to fight back, though, with how unhinged he was...

Reaching the speeder, he opened the door for Nuff and slipped in as well, leaving it open for the boy to get in as well after he finally released him. "Take us back to the candy shop. And please, drive quickly. We're all dying for that ice-cream." he calmly ordered the driver and the man quickly did as he was told. The speeder started up and they were zooming through the air in no time. He wrapped an arm around Nuff to hug her close as he stared ahead, not paying any mind to the Jedi next to him. Tapping Nuff to get her attention, he used one hand to signal her. "What is his name again?" he asked her with his left hand as his right still held her.

[Nuff]

For all her training in being perspective to her surroundings when on the job, Nuff could be such a oblivious blind goof to a situation around her. Not seeing any problems in them all three together on a trip together, was very obvious on her face.

Sitting in the speeder, she was a bit bouncy on her seat, but that was also because she was so excited to visit the candy store again. Oh, and she was, of course, going to show Cas ice cream, which she completely disregarded the idea of the guy might have already tasted it before. Sitting in her own bubble of excitement, it was a temporary burst, sending her mind back to where she was and looked up at her dad.

Not seeing any harm in telling her dad Cas's name, she signed back "Cas Tynen!" signed Nuff happily. The trip to the candy store was a mix of awkwardness between Quizitus and Cas while getting burst by Nuff's chirpiness. The speeder didn't even get to break fully before the Sith girl was out and with the help of the force, dashed right to the large store.

It had been so quick, that the automatic sensor doors, didn't register her arrival at the doors, causing the Nautolan to walk straight into the glass doors, sending her tripping back and landing on her bum.
