"Gentlemen, the servers have been shut down and all information pertaining to the Jedi Order removed. You will have to find what you seek elsewhere. Now if you would ..", she extended her hand toward the main door to the Library, "I shall walk you both out to ensure safe passage".

Coci bowed to Corvus as she passed, "Good to see you my friend. I hope we can get the opportunity to speak later". She pressed a hand on Thurion's arm as she passed, for reassurance and love coupled with a smile and a nod in Théo's direction, in a way she was glad the mess would be left to Thurion and maybe Corvus has some experience in dealing with the frogs.

Coci, along with the Mandalorians passed through the Temple and stood on the steps. "Gentlemen, I bid you safe travel and may the force be with you".

"And I don't want to lose you again or have you lose yourself. There is a difference between justice and revenge, jedi seek justice, we do not seek out revenge. Despite what the shadows might tell you when some of them openly embrace the darkside." She was remaining there with her arms wrapped around her own chest and now was at least relaxed, the tension bleeding away from her muscles before she was backing away and popping her neck. "We should get you inside the temple. Or something, you can't be out here without some robes on. As nice as you still look." Saki tried for an grin but it was awkward and she was moving off towards the temple.

"I don't want revenge. I seek justice, peace, and order."

She leaned down to grab her top, which she pulled back on. It was followed by the cloak, mask, and hood, as she returned to being Nightmare once again, rather than Niamh. There was no reaction to the comment about how nice she looked. It pained her to hear that. She knew that Saki meant it truthfully, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, aside from the face that had been intentionally left alone, she saw horror. She saw Nightmare, not Niamh.

When Saki led, she followed.

"I am not truly with the Silver's anymore, Saki, just so you are aware. I maintain my status as a Shadow, but outside of the order. Though what I, we, do is intended to help all those in the light. We will make a difference beyond the bounds of government."

"Just be careful, you were there when the republics jedi turned their pursuit of justice and peace into attacking anyone who didn't follow and agree with them." THat had been one of the factors and well Saki suspected the other that she had had skills the other wanted to know compared to how to move rocks with the force... She did that and showed her how to punch them to the sky... Way cooler." The teenager was still moving and going down the small hill towards the temple as she spoke. "There will also be questions, since I am no longer on the council they might actually press you or try to to more but I know you well enough.

Corvus had to laugh. It broke the tension of the moment and it was a soft and kind sound. She thanked Thurion for his support and turned her attention to the young man in front of her.

“We have two local animals that can be problematic. The first are Gokobs. Hairless rodents that spend most of their time rummaging for food around the Academy kitchens — they’re friendly, but spray a foul mist when startled.”

“And these are the others. Not harmful in any way, But they are big and bright and live in the treetops. They’re a menace to low-flying ships as their tongues are extremely sticky. As I suspect you’ve found out.”

She knelt down and touched one of them. “And once they’re attached, well…they don’t like to let go.”

“I’m Corvus by the way, and you must be Théodred? Now, I was lucky enough to find a Holocron a while back. Crated by a Jedi many centuries ago. And on it he showed how to deal with creatures like these. Have you heard of the Ability of Animal Friendship? Some call it Beast Control, but I prefer my version. It’s a simple variation of the old Jedi Mind Trick. But with creatures.”

Corvus pulled the Force to her and sought the emotions around her. She sensed confusion and stubbornness and knew these belonged to the frogs. “All I have to do is follow their somewhat simple emotions back to their minds. Gently of course, we are Jedi. And once I reach their mind, plant a simple thought. That…there is a big fat juicy fly in one of the trees outside.”

One by one the frogs detached themselves from the young Jedi and hopped quickly out of the room. “It’s all about understanding what they want. In this case food — but I think they realised too late you’re too big a meal for them.” She smiled again.

“Now the smell is a different matter. No manner of Force Abilities will make that go away. But with your parent’s permission, we can find some spare robes — there are bound to be some around — and you can use the shower in my old office. I presume the water is back on. If you’ve time, I can always give you a tour.”

She stood up once more. “Welcome to Ossus,” she said to Coci and Thurion. "I should have said so sooner. My apologies. It’s been a trying few days.”

Niamh sighed a bit.

"They didn't turn against people, they disagreed with methods. That was it."

She continued to walk smoothly across the landscape as they approached the temple. To be fair, she didn't care if they did question her. She had nothing to hide about anything she'd done. She was a Shadow and what she did as a Shadow belonged only among the Shadows, but she was still a Jedi, and as far as she was concerned she had done nothing wrong. No murdering the innocent or anything like that. She only killed those who had to be killed.

"They can question me all they wish. I can't promise answers."

Reaching a small overgrown shed, sheltered and full of crates they came to stop, Fyor darting out, meant Nato could give not too insignificant glances Elpsis's way, “so you're, just here helpin,” Natoline’s toes were tingling to their tips, so she bobbed, her hands doing small circles around her thumb.

Cute ”I… I am?” wow Elpsis really, just said it, just like that, ruffling the back of her hair, which had some body today down her back, she suddenly felt, happy.

“Thanks. You're like, beautiful.” New Nato was different, not a scared girl but… okay but now she couldn’t say anything, at all. Boxes done, she just was looking at Elpsis for a little while, teeth chomping on her bottom lip, “do you wanna meet, kinda, y'know, if you’re,” wait what was she doing, what was she even asking, for some galactic comm number? She almost had a hand out touching her arm, but her wandering finger didn’t get that far because in burst one flustered Lorrdian

“Work, work work, I hope they appreciate our grand box moving efforts, because nobody there can build a bunker worth a bantha's hutts cousins frelling, god damn dirty left....” Fyor looked at Nato, who immediately put her hand back to her own arm, and leaned back against their boxes, Fyor raised his eyebrows right on cue, and about stepped, “oh…. I just forgot I had a wookie, doing a thing, with another thing,” and with that he did the best possible thing he could do, and bolted.

Nato’s tongue was resting against the roof of her mouth, in an expression of awkwardness, “yeah,” that happened a lot, "I better..." she wasn’t really good at, initiating. Maybe she wasn't meant to get over Arie, you know, kinda like fate or, arms behind her back she pushed at her supporting boxes, head just looking off to the side, but she hadn't left!

Beautiful, to say that being called this made Elpsis feel rather joyful and a bit smug would be very accurate! It also resulted in her getting a perhaps rather cheesy grin plastered on her lips. Through her empathy, she felt some of Nato's happiness bleed over to her. "Yeah...," she began, but then the Lorrdian, possibly robotic engineer just had to barge in and talk!


Nato's hand had almost touched her arm! The engineer, whose name Elpsis had not heard, rambled on about all the work he needed to do. Since Elpsis was very focused on on Nato she did not really get most of what he said, though he mentioned something about Wookiees....doing things with other things. Err...he had not been talking about Wookiee sex, right? Because that was a tad too kinky even for Elpsis.


However, then an expression of disappointment crossed Elpsis' features when things got awkward and it seemed like Nato was going to leave. But the girl hadn't left yet and Elpsis quickly reached out with her hand to touch her arm. Just, touch, for holding on to her would've been clingy and stuff. "Hey, you don't have to go. I'd love to meet, sweetie. Name a time, place. I can give you my number."

Saki gave a nod of understanding but well this was a good day, the world of Ossus was protected from ones who might seek to abuse it and her old padawan had returned. All and all a good time for the jedi master and who knew maybe she'd find a spare credit chit or something to add to the luck. "Well we'll just have to see, I am not going to rush and tell everyone you are back and spoil you getting to tell them yourself. Lets just find the mess hall and I don't know I'll get you some sweet cream."

Nato found Elpsis very distracting, which wasn’t bad, very good distracting, in this dreamy way. She hadn’t really noticed Fyor or what he’d said, only that he’d bumbled in, always bumbling into…. Omg she’s touching my arm, heart skip.

Melting a little bit, little bit, not a lot, can’t do a lot, god she’s really touching my arm.

“Yeahhhh”, wait what was her question. Felt a bit too close, too close, erm, her hand was resting on Elpsis outstretched hand, tracing the point of her curious finger back and forth, she leaned in a little, just a little, because Natoline muse decided she was a complete total and utter tease, that and she couldn’t really help herself from not leaning in.

Fumbling for something in her own pockets, which took some fiddling because Nato pockets had more little trinkets than you’d find at their local antiques store. She hmmmmed happily, looking up as she moved, sooo close, distracting. Her own lips would softly let out her faintest of exhales with her smile, slipping over this small silver business holocard to Elpsis, to balance her card somewhere just out of an accessible pocket, if Elpsis let her, then biting her own offending fingernail which pressed her card.

The card read – Kerrigan’s Jewellery, then her number.

Pocket adventures aside, she found herself looking up, following the outline of Elpsis's lips, pfffffft she had nice lips, just curving and all red, and big and… leaning in, pushing up off her boxes, just wanting to….

BEEEEEEEEEEP

This time a droid rolled up, knocked over a crate, picked up a box and interrupted her with an excusing and distracting BEEP in apology and injury. Nato was broken from her trance again, touching her head with her hand, as she hid her face, pushing her hair back, inside she was just wanting to shout goddammit!!!!!!

So she did, only with less god and more dammit, then she held her mouth, “I’m not usually, I don’t usually, raincheck?” Way to go Nato, now she thinks your nuts as well as nervous, really maybe she was moving to fast, she'd just met her, what was she thinking, stunningly beautiful red head walked straight up to her and, she wasn't thinking that was kinda the point, first time she'd relaxed since.

Darn, she had been so close! Yes, really. First base had not been that far away anymore. Well, at least Elpsis was under that impression, though she might have been a bit biased. But she had felt how bit by bit Nato had melted, then the annoying little droid just had to interrupt things by knocking over a crate because it apparently could not see where it was going!


In the, ahem, heat of the moment, some of Elpsis' thoughts might have bled over to Nato. After all, Elpsis was not that good at controlling her empathy and keeping it under wraps, so to speak. Little did she know that Nato was quite skilled at mentalism and the like. With the spell broken, Elpsis flushed just a bit before she got her mental walls up. No need to flood the girl with some of the...fun stuff she'd been thinking about.


Her hand found her way to the silver business card. Wait, this girl had business cards? Kerrigan’s Jewellery, then her number. Fangirling level skyrocketed after reading it! Nato was out of her trance and seemed to be retreating back into herself, nerves going into overdrive. Having shaken herself out of her daze, Elpsis patted her on the shoulder.


"It's cool, Nat. Don't sweat it. You're related to Kerrigan? We sooo gotta talk and...," she leaned in closer, her breath brushing against Nato's ear like a caress, "we can have lots of fun," she finished and winked, before pulling away a bit. Oh, right, she'd wanted to give the girl her number. Her card was a good deal less fancy and what was written on it was more like a scrawl, but Nato ought to be able to read it, as it was dropped into her hand.

She stopped in her tracks.

"I'm not going to tell them I'm back. Niamh doesn't exist anymore and she never will exist again. Only Nightmare, Shadow and Paladin, exists now."

Underneath of her cloak it would be hard to see what she was doing, which was what she liked. She always wore it in such a way that it fully enshrouded her, unless, of course, she was in battle because then it would only be in the way. For now, though, she kept it pulled tight as her hands rested on her hips, one clenching onto the chakram that she wore on her hip. If this came to blows again, she would not go easy.

"I am not a Silver anymore, not really. I've begun to form something greater than any of the orders because none of them are fit for what this galaxy needs. All are trapped under the thumb of governmental powers, and the Paladins will not be, which is why we will succeed where others have failed. I am not here to see the others. I only came to see you."

Saki was looking at her and paused just going towards the temple. "You know me, I am not the biggest fan of questions or being prodded for information.... but being ready to fight at a moments notice is my thing. You were always the smart one who talked and thought things through or stuff." She kept moving though glad to at least be that special and merit something like Niamh returning even with her own plans... which well everyone had a plan nowadays. She might have to get one or sleep. "As for what you have going on, doubt the others will notice unless you start taking the padawans they want to recruit. So be careful."
 
"I'd like to think I'm still smart. What I am working on is something that must be done because without it, well, we have all fallen into the trap of government and the only way out is to make it."

She started walking again, satisfied that [member="Saki"] wasn't going to make her talk to anyone she didn't want to talk to. Considering she had no desire to become a full fledged member of the Silvers again, there was no reason for her to speak with any of the high ranking Jedi there. None of them would understand her anymore, and none of them, save for those who were secretly Shadows, would know who she was. She preferred it that way.

"I don't take anyone. They come to me or they see what I do and want to come with me. If anyone has a problem with lightsiders training lightsiders just because they aren't a part of their order, then it only proves the problem that grows."

Saki just nodded her head and was moving into one of the rooms as she looked over the things there. Not much but they could change that while going around and she sat in one of the seats. "How do I look? More Sage jedi master like?" She said it with a grin on her face though and rolled her shoulders. "There is the ships and you know how to get ahold of me if you need me."
 
She followed her Master into the room and watched as the woman sat. Instead of sitting herself, she walked in a slow circle around the room and then paused near the door to turn back to the younger woman. It was always strange, their relationship. She was much older than her Master, by comparison, and yet she was still a Knight and the other woman a Master of the Force. On top of that, they had been lovers.

"You look different, but then, everything looks different now."

Walking over, she knelt down in front of the woman and looked up at her.

"Saki, things are going to be different now. I'm building an order, the Order of Paladins. We will do the bidding of the Force and only the Force, outside of the bounds of government, and that may place a target on us from time to time. I want to know if you wish to be a part of it, to break away from the Silver's and be a part of something that no current Order can be."
