The Precursor.

She grinned and thought for a moment. "Speaking of that man, where did he ever run off to?" She turned the subject on the man, Carn Dista. She had seen the Jedi before, but had never spoken too him. "Oh come now, imagine if Grandmaster blondie saw us, he would go straight back to yelling at us and this time i cant say hes wrong." She grinned, remembering the last meeting with their old friend.

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen shrugged. "No clue actually. I'm assuming he had and aneurysm after some jedi forgot to the their sash the right way. As for Josh, I actually was glad about the no force thing when he was around. The last thing I needed form him was sensing those feels because I've no doubt in my mind he'd have dropped about a hundred hints to you all in the name of embarrassing me."

"Hints, about what? This?" She smiled at him as she heard the words, able to actually move and talk without as much of a hint of being utterly and emotionally crippled the moment before. Her head continued to rest there though as the two of them sat in the garden. "Im lucky the order isn't around, Veino Garn would give me so much shit for this, as i already make fun of him tripping around me anyways..."

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen let out a small laugh as he brought the face to memory. "Oh, fly boy? Well last, I saw he certainly was high in the clouds when you were around?" He was referring, of course, to the last invasion of Alderaan where he had the privilege of meeting her student, shortly before said student was hurled through the air by a powerful force blast.

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

"Ya, he does that alot around me, at first i thought it was around woman in general but ive never heard of it happening otherwise." Of course she was joking, everything about the way she said it showed much, and for a moment again she was happy as he was there. "You know, the first time we met was after someone, you were a Jedi, me a Sith, and now were both sitting her, roles reversed as i now follow a path more like your old one, and you like my old one."

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen's smile continued as he listened to her words, taking a moment to think about them. "Actually, it would seem that way wouldn't it." He grinned and placed a small kiss on her cheek "Back then I thought all sith were evil and I was actually thinking I might have to fight you and that bounty hunter who was with ya. Hell, I'd just become a jedi and I had no idea what I was getting into Though, at least it seems we both made it out alright. By the way, when did your hair go from dark to white?"

[Alexandra Feanor]

"Oh right, that. Im surprised you never asked before. I stopped dying it after i had left the sith... my first master thought dying it would keep my heritage a secret, err also, theres something else i never showed anyone..." She reached up and brushed her hair aside before removing a very thin strip of material from around her upper ear. Once done a singular feature would show, her ears being slightly pointed. "Im half Eldorai..."

[member="Darth Tsolan"]

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen grinned as he saw the pointed ear. "Well, that's interesting. And while I'm a bit impressed, I have to say I win. You might be an Eldorai, but as we seem to be finding out," He lifted his hand to show Alex the long talons. Still mostly humanoid, but they could easily be taken for something else. "I am half something we have never even seen before."

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

"I still say Zarro experimented on you, all it would take is one trip to his home and a quick talk to find out the truth fox face." She smiled able to shift her body now as he still held her, eyes staring up at his face as she lay her head in his shoulder more comforably. "Heck, you dont have to even show up, i can walk in, ask him, and be gone just like that."

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen rolled his eyes at her suggestion. "As I said, he's a merchant, not a scientist. Besides, I don't think I've even been with him for a year so this whole me suddenly showing signs of experimentation isn't likely. If anything, I think my father left out a few details form his holocron, one of the large reasons I intend to consult it when we get back to Myrkrr. I can tell its hiding something, but I can't quite convince it that now's the time to show me."

"Oh fine, when w-..." She swallowed and breathed slowly as she looked at the ground. "Vulpesen, before we head back to Myrkrr, i want to show you where i grew up... you dont mind do you?" She looked at her friend closely as the words left her, eyes downcast and mind closed off as she breathed once more before finally smiling again and looking up at him. "I want to show you my own past before we dont get the chance to."

 

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen smiled and gave her a small nod. "Of course." Come to think about it, Vulpesen knew very little of Alexandra's past and now was as good a time as any to find out. "I can't believe I've never asked about such things before. You know everything about Amar, and yet I know nothing about you from before the day we met on Kashyyk."

"Well i lived on Correlia, my father a gladiator and my mother a former Jedi who had left the order. We kept low to the best we could, but there was one fight my father refused to lose as part of a payoff. You know how it is, honor and all... You can assume what came next seeing as i dont have much of a family left." She spoke softly, carefully, making sure her words didn't harm her emotions worse than already.

[member="Darth Tsolan"]

 

[Vulpesen]

"Oh, well it seems we were both descended from jedi. All I really know about my father and mother is that the former was a jedi, and the latter a sith. Zarro tells me that they wanted their child be raised in neutrality, thus I was raised with him. Flip flopping between the extremes counts as neutrality right?" Again, his words were an attempt to take her mind off the pain, using those small bits of humor to distract from the more serious manners.

[member="Alexandra Cinthra"]

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

"I dont think that even comes close to counting as neutrality Fox Face." Her eyes focused on the ground for a moment. "They died by the blade of the Sith, i would have died too but i fell out the window as i was trying to escape. I feel two stories, it was that or be claimed by the flames that were enveloping my home... i was crippled for weeks, living in an alley gutter, slowly dying on the inside and outside... i would have died too if it hadn't been for Master Cinthra."

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen tilted his head as he heard the mention of her master's name. "I'll take it you adopted his name and not those of your parents? I did the opposite, but that's because their note showed the wishes that I be raised by such a name." Even as he spoke the words, his thoughts turned to Zarro. The poor fox, the only time Vulpesen had ever used his name, he was Valde Verres, a street rat whose true name couldn't be known. Actually, he had just now thought of what it would be like to raise a child who barely even related himself to your family. "... I'll have to make it up to him some day."

"Im sure he forgives you already, even if you did join the Sith and left him without any word... that... came out wrong." She frowned for a second before shrugging. "And no, you dont get to know my real name fox face, no one knows it, no one will ever know it... ok maybe not the second part, i might tell you when you are acting your age mister."

 

[Vulpesen]

He chuckled and and rested his head against hers. "Honestly, all Zarro knows is that I'm doing something dangerous. I didn't have theheart to tel him what that dangeros thing was. As for acting my age, how would you say such actions would be?" He grinned at her, till enjoying the closeness and for once, the awkwardness of it was gone, much unlike the first time she had bumped into him. Just the thought of when he had caught her by reflex was a slight embarrassment.

[member="Alexandra Cinthra"]

 

[Alexandra Feanor]

"Well, you could always show up, tell him you were with the Sith, oh and explain that you love someone now, that should catch his attention and i would be glad to see such a reaction." She knew that what come from such a scene it would be more of a show to watch Vulpesen than Zarro, trying to imagine his expression in telling Zarro such things.

[Vulpesen]

Vulpesen shook his head at her suggestion. To her Zarro might have seemed like a kind father, but that was often just the way he chose to portray his guardian. While never cruel, there were many times when the fox's actions could be seen as a tad less than loving. "If you don't mind, I'd rather not have him break his favorite cane over my head. At that point he'll have to break another just to make me pay for breaking that one then another and another and so on." He shuddered as he felt the memories come to him. There was a reason Vulpesen was well behaved around his master. You see, one of the reasons he was so good at running is because there was many a day that he ran around the estate to climb, swing, and roll his way away from the crazy old fox who waved and wielded a cane almost like a jedi master.
