Just... imagine two pet forms here XD Continued from this post of mine in the Advent Calendar.
"To be fair, my love, that wasn't a 'break' from Alliance duties, considering you were there to see Empress Acina on behalf of the Alliance," Lana gently pointed out as she and Xyshari approached a table full of sweets, along with a bowl of punch.
"All the same, I wouldn't shed any tears if Saresh were to 'accidentally' cross some Mandos without her GenoHaradan nearby--or anyone else who wanted her out of the picture," Xyshari muttered. "It was bad enough when you told me that she was still essentially in power after five years in carbonite, but... for her to try and have a Jedi assassinated..."
"She lost more than a few loyal supporters that day, when they heard that she'd tried to kill the 'Hero of Tython'," Lana said, pouring them both glasses of punch. "I don't believe you've ever told me that story, although Teeseven has given me a brief rendition of it when we were searching for you."
"Whatever he told you... it's likely true," Xyshari said with a laugh--an honest one, this time; not a practiced, almost forced one. "We'd gone to Coruscant to investigate the source of a dark presence that the Council felt and discovered that a 'Republic scientist' by the name of Tarnis was actually a Sith Lord. You can about imagine how the encounter ended."
(Feel free to join in! Lana and Xyshari know-but-don't at the same time that they're not in the Star Wars universe--multiverse, go!)
