A meeting gone wrong

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"God this is embarrassing." She said as her face turns bright pink

"Don't be. And as a dancer, I had figured you might be used to wearing little clothing" She teased, sitting down in the bath across from her with a sigh. "Tell me, Echo. If you could have any one thing in the galaxy ,what would it be?"

[member="Echo Kora"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"I have worn little clothing before but it has never got to this before." She then thought on the question just asked and simply responded "Love."

[member="Safiriel Bane"]

 

[Tanith Alde]

Safiriel was suprised. She had guessed many other things. Sight. Power. Wisdom. But Love? She remembered a time long ago, when she had wished for the same, but now...Not anymore...She was past the point where she could love, or be loved.

"I see...I wish you well then, and am sure you will find that which you seek. From Me, I can promise friendship, should you need it"

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Thank you my story may make it seem as though I am complaining but when I was small I was always the subject of bullying I was told I was fat ugly and a freak and Ibegan to believe what I was told. But what drove me to running away was my parents they got down so they took it out on me and what did they say? The same thing that the others were saying. So yes if I could have anything I would want someone to love me. And yes I would like friendship."

"Then you shall have it. And trust me, you are far from fat, or ugly. Do not believe such things. You are beautiful, as is everyone in their own ways. They mock you, as they are jealous of you. Pay such men and women no heed" She said softly. Looking down her eyes wandered over her own body, corrupted and twisted as it was by sith machinations and alchemy.

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"If you are of the faint of heart I would turn away now." She said and began to untie her mask

[member="Safiriel Bane"]

 

[Tanith Alde]

Safiriel did not turn away "I don't shy easily..tell me, do you trust me?" She asked, curious as to her reply

[member="Echo Kora"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Yes I do why do you ask?" She said pulling her mask away setting it off to the side revealing her hollow eye sockets

[member="Safiriel Bane"]

 

[Tanith Alde]

Safiriel took the woman's hand, and guided it to specific parts of her own body. Letting her feel the metal shards embedded in her skin, the cut and in some places burned flesh, and the other things that had happened to her, staying silent all the while

[member="Echo Kora"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"If you don't mind my asking what happened to you? Torture?" Echo asked not moving her hand back as she was not scared

[member="Safiriel Bane"]

 

[Tanith Alde]

"One could call it such...It's the closest word that comes near the experience" She said with a sad smile, letting go of her hand

[member="Echo Kora"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Echo slowly removed her hand think of the horror she must have felt Echo knew a little from her days as a slave for a hutt on tatooine. "Have you ever been to tatooine?"

[member="Safiriel Bane"]

 

[Tanith Alde]

That had been one of her first assignments after her change "Yes...I have been there....Why do you ask?"

[member="Echo Kora"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"I- I was enslaved there for a while so I was wondering"

[member="Safiriel Bane"]

 

[Tanith Alde]

Safiriel ran a comforting hand down the woman's back, the hadn that wasn't mostly claw "There there dear...it is over, you are free now"

[member="Echo Kora"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

Echo began to break down crying

[member="Safiriel Bane"]

 

[Tanith Alde]

The sith was caught off guard for a moment. Slowly, she wrapped her arms around the girl, pulling the broken dancer against her own tortured body

[member="Echo Kora"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

As she was pulled in she felt herself relax and not pull back

[member="Safiriel Bane"]

 

[Tanith Alde]

"Shh...No tears....You're safe here...No one may harm us here" The sith said, her voice soft and caring
