A Hate Like No Other {Krum}

[Vahtik De'Gorrei]

As it were, Vargent was a calm, quiet sleeper. But the girl had slept in the same bad as fidgety people before. So, even in her sleep, she did her best to calm Krum. One arm draped over the other girl, holding her close. The other gently stroked her back and hair. They were simple things. Often, though, simplicity was the way to go when it came to soothing. Back at the Temple Nordii had done a lot of this sort of thing (though with plenty more clothing) a lot. It felt... nice to do so again. And for the first time in quite a few months she dreamed of peaceful things. Yet when she awoke, she was entirely unsure of what she should do. Breakfast was to be served just a half an hour from then. Frowning slightly she wondered how heavy of a sleeper Krum was. Could she sneak out without waking her up? Should she? What exactly was the proper course of action here? Eventually she made a hard decision. Softly sighing she slowly slipped out of bed. After gathering her things (which had been scattered about) she mumbled an apology, opened the door, and left. There would be just enough time for her to shower before she'd have to go to the dining hall. What would happen when she got there worried her...

Something told her to expect a slap.

Those simple little acts did in fact help keep Cypra calmer as she slept. It reminded her of the better times when she'd come to her mother for comfort in bed and she would do some of the same things. For the first time in a long time Cypra had a less distributing sleep. When she finally woke it had taken her a few minutes to actually realize that Nordii was gone. She looked around and called for a moment before realizing she was gone. She shrugged at this as if it were no big deal and went about preparing herself for breakfast.

When she made it to the dining hall she gathered up a pile of food on one plate and found herself a seat, which she shoved her way into between two others. As she ate she glanced about before seeing Nordii, waving to her like she wasn't upset. In fact she really wasn't.

As usual, Vargent had been one of the first people in the dining hall. Unsurprisingly she also sat alone for quite awhile before her roommate (and her roommate's friend) sat themselves on either side of her. Just like normal they'd talk to each other, almost like she wasn't right there in between them. It wasn't until Cypra waved that they acknowledged her presence. Both appeared to be surprised. They even shut up for a few moments. Though, as normal, that didn't last long. "Dude! I thought you two were, well, you know, enemies! Did something happen? And is, oh my god, Varge, is that a hickey on your neck?!?" Elris wasn't the only one who seemed surprised. Several of the other trainees watched Nordii carefully, awaiting her response. When she waved back... well, they weren't sure how to react. But Elris and friend sure as hell were. "Woah! You slept with her, didn't you?!? I bet you totally did! We both know you're very... gay." Scowling, Varge did her best to ignore her. "What? Don't be silly! She's not gay, she's lesbian. There's a total difference. Wait, you're right! They're totally in lesbians together!"

This was starting to get annoying.

"That's not how it works. If, and I mean if, I did like her that way, it would just be love. We wouldn't 'be in lesbians' together. That doesn't even make sense... Now excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall. Repeatedly." With a sigh she stood up, walking over to where her nighttime companion sat. Instantly two people got up and moved. Whether they were afraid of her, or simply thought it best not to get in the way of the two, it didn't really matter. Sitting across from Cypra Varge let out yet another long sigh. "Remind me to murder my roommate. Violently. Or at least sew her mouth shut..."

Even after she waved to her Cypra only glanced over now and then to see Nordii talking with some other trainees. She cocked her head a bit, wondering what they were talking about that had her seem so annoyed. Then again she thought she was cute when she was annoyed at times. In any case she only waited until Nordii eventually did sit down and make her comment about her roommate. Looking over and guessing those were the two she meant Cypra shot both of them evil looks, indicating not to get on her bad side. After that she looked back to her meal while looking over to Nordii.

"I'd say just beat her ass a few times. That'll get the message through." she commented. After that she asked "So we've slept now. What comes next? I mean with the while having slept together thing." Before Nordii answered she looked and said "Hey, what;s that thing on your neck?"

Chuckling a bit at the first comment, Varge quietly added "Aye, that would work well enough." It was the second part that made her pause. Of course, what would they do next? Go back to the way things had been before? That would require pretending a lot of things hadn't happened. But what happened had been so very, very sudden... to jump into a full-blown relationship would be a bit odd. "Well- huh? My neck?... I do believe that's a little gift from you, from last night. I'm surprised you don't remember. You seemed awfully fond of that piece of skin earlier," the Miraluka teased. "I do believe the next step, generally, would be either just hanging out, or going on a date of sorts. Depends on what you want to do. We could, of course, just go back to hating each other. If we're still capable of that."

Upon hearing the explanation of the mark on her neck Cypra remember and said "Oh. Right." before going back to eating. When Nordii explained how things could go from there Cypra thought on it, trying to think what would actually be the best course of action. In truth the reason she was so unsure of all of this was because she'd never been in a real relationship with anyone before. Not to mention she never really interacted with other people her age either. It was all new and confusing at the same time.

When Nordii finished she asked "Which one means more of what we had last night?"

Now that was a good question. Though it did seem like no matter what choice they made they were going to end up doing that again at some point. The tension would stay, the memories wouldn't fade, and the subtle glances between each other would slowly seal the deal. So perhaps the question was actually which would lead to the most of it? "Dates. Better the dates, better chance of that happening again. Though hating each other again would probably lead to a lot, despite anyone's efforts. Hmm... dates. Mostly dates. Throw in a couple intense sparring matches, a bit of teasing, and well... we probably wouldn't get much sleep. If you know what I mean," Varge replied, with a smirk.

At her joke Cypra gave a little laugh, though it sounded more like a childish chuckle. She knew what it meant. And it it meant going on a date with Nordii to have more of it then she'd oblige. Though one question was on her mind.

"So....what do we do for a date?"

Her oblivious nature only showed that her reasoning for asking was due to the fact she had no idea what to do. She was sort of like a teenager who needed consulting from parents or the like because she wasn't sure what was true or fake about what was said about being in a relationship with someone. Cypra had her obvious excuses but now she actually felt a little dumber for not having an idea right off the bat.

"Well, we could, uh... oh... That is a good question..." Vargent paused, trying to think of what exactly the two could do. Despite her 'apparent deep understanding of dating' she couldn't think of anything. Well, nothing besides what people do for normal, general dates. "We could go out for lunch, maybe see a Holofilm, or... we could visit the Valley of the Lords. The Sith just finished their museum. It's right where the Temple used to be." That was a good idea, right?

Cypra gave Nordii a confused look, starting to sense she didn't know what to do either. That actually worried her as she felt both of them would be lost on what to do. However, despite this she managed to come to an agreement in her head when all the options had been presented.

"I could go for visiting the Valley of Lords. I like seeing the history of the old Sith masters at work. Makes me feel like they might put an exhibit for me one day."

"As long as you hope to make that day a long time from now. Can't have my new partner dying on me anytime soon," Varge joked, chuckling softly. "Perhaps we should go there this afternoon? After our morning training? Or we could go in a few days time, if you'd prefer that. With all the hard work we've been doing, and the destruction we've caused, I doubt the Masters would mind us leaving for a few hours. Especially to honor those who came before us."

The whole time Nordii talked Cypra had drifted off into a daydream, mainly about herself being idolized by future sith in the halls. She did daydream about Nordii too, and more nights like the last in store, but this had drowned her out to what she was saying. When she had finished she perked up and tried to play it cool.

"Oh, sure. That sounds good. Whatever, uh, whatever you say."

"You... weren't listening, were you?" Varge asked before letting out a sigh. Before continuing she glanced at the other acolytes near them, who were trying to seem like they weren't paying attention. And failing at that. "Keep ignoring me and I might have to... punish you. If you know what I mean..." She chuckled, smirking lightly. Of course if she did what she threatened to do... they'd have to go back to the bedroom. Doing such a thing in public would not be appreciated. Generally speaking, that is. "Now honey... would you like to visit your future tomb this afternoon, or in a few days time?"

Cypra looked awkwardly as she was discovered by Nordii for not paying attention. She didn't mean it but, again, it was just the idea of everything had built in her mind and made her drift off into her own little dreamland that it was hard to focus. When she noticed others looking as well she shot them angry looks to make them go back to their own business. But when Nordii mentioned 'being punished' she had a good idea what she meant and smirked at it.

"Okay. This afternoon." she answered.

"Sounds delightful. Now, I'd love to stay and chat, but something tells me there are a few more droids who wish to be bashed. I'll find you in a few hours. Or you can find me. Either works. Try not to fight any more Knights while I'm busy, okay?" Though she spoke with a teasing tone, it would hopefully be apparent she was actually concerned. She wanted Krum to be safe. After all, the only person allowed to hurt her was Varge. Even then it was only in certain... delightful ways. Or during overblown sparring matches. Either worked. With a smile she slowly stood up, walked around the edge of the table, and gave her... special friend a quick kiss on the cheek. Then she'd turn to leave. Several apprentices would go to follow (as 'discreetly' as they could manage). Some wanted to see her fight again. A few wanted to 'learn' from her. Others wished to fight her as Krum had.

Cypra nodded at Nordii's agreement to see her later. After a quick kiss she smirked and watched as she left the room. In the back of her mind she worried about messing up with their 'date' in anyway. This was her first and she knew that if she screwed up it would mean a very short relationship and no more romantic nights together. She grabbed a nearby napkin and started fuddling with it as she grumbled to herself, trying to calm down while knowing she had to meet with her eventually. However her thoughts were drawn when other acolytes began to follow Nordii. She looked oddly at this before noting some of them were the one who'd been overhearing them talk earlier. Her eyebrow arched as she watched before slowly getting up herself.
