A Night to be Normal (Darth Praelior)

[Zion Mirtis]

A messenger had arrived at the labs of [member="Darth Praelior"] with what seemed to be highly important information. A servant of the Sith with the right clearance would be able to get through security in order to have the message at least dropped off to an important Sith Lord like Balaya, the powerful Zeltron Sith Lady. A guard had taken the message and agreed it would delivered as promised. After that the servant left, allowing the guard to take the message directly down into the labs. Despite what se was doing the guard would insist the message was important, especially since it was being delivered via-face recognizer on a holopad. Once it was cleared by only Balaya herself a text had appeared for her to read.​

​

"You need some time off. And so could I. I'm having a little celebration that I'd like you to come to. It's at the Mon Calimar Cuisine on the upper levels of Courascant. It's black tie as well, so do dress nice. I hope to see you there.​

​

- R"​

Balaya was in her lab and when the message arrived she was curious standing over the sith who had brought it to her and waving them away while seeing the message. A mysterious message, black tie event and she needed to dress nice as the zeltron standing there in her armor while working on things in the lab made a small look. Going to her chambers below the pit as the darkside liquid glowed casting around her bedroom while she changed. Going with something practical and nice by zeltron standards as the straps tightened around her curves to accentuate the figure she had as her chest hung there with grav tape keeping it up. The weaponized alchemically enhance chest of the sith was there setup. Her weapons were not there but she was walking with the massive mane of fiery red hair trailing behind her now. Thick dread like braids still made it a curtain adorned with gems and jewels. She was going to the place told to with looks from the people who well were seeing a twelve foot giant in a dress covered in straps and zoosha fabric, the nearly fully transparent fishnetting gleaming in the light when it hit the outfit the right way. As far as a dress went it did cover her from neck to ankles but it was zeltron fashion and that made it very revealing and classy as well as revealing.

Upon arriving at the restaurant Balaya would be told by one of the patrons to follow as he lead her up to the highest floor of the place itself. Apparently that was were the more "finer taste" customers would wind up dining. All she needed to do was present her invitation, the holopad, before being allowed to enter the floor itself. From there she was lead from the entrance to one of the balcony tables where none other than Darth Raven was awaiting her. She was sitting and looking out towards the clear night on Courascant while wearing a very nice black dress for the occasion. Only a glass of water was in front of her with an empty one waiting across.​

​

Upon seeing [member="Darth Praelior"] she gave a wide smile before standing, holding her hands out for her to take. She dismissed the patron before looking back to the lovely Zeltron and saying "You look more amazing than I ever thought."​

Balaya was looking around as she got some looks but starring at a giant who would flick you and break several bones had her not getting much in some of the ways before she was outside and feeling the air. Her eyes roving over and seeing Darth Raven as she raised an eyebrow a first but resisted much, she wasn't the best outside of the lab or battlefield and not since Eruni had she really done anything like this... and Eruni had simply grabbed her and kissed her. Raven was subtle and confusing cause she didn't know how to read that from others as she took the womans hands and held a smirk on her face. "I am surprised, I might be able to make a large monster but reading people is very hard.... You do look pretty though."

 

[Zion Mirtis]

Raven chuckled a bit at her statement before saying "Leave the monsters were they belong. For tonight it's just you and me." After that she kept holding her hand as she lead her to the table to sit. From there she snapped her fingers for a waiter. A twi'lek man, all dressed up, had asked for what they wanted to start off with for drinks. Raven had suggested wine but waited to see what [member="Darth Praelior"] would want for herself before deciding. After that they were left along again, she leaning forward and smiling. "I hope you don't find it too forward of me to have invited you. But I felt the need to have someone to share in the celebration. Have you heard? I've been officially declared as a Sith Lord of the new Order."​

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

[member="Darth Raven"]

Balaya was looking at her as she was led to the table with a smile on her face sitting down. The thoughts of what there was all around had her interested in some food. She took a moment with the menu while thinking about what Raven was saying. "I am not opposed to it, I will admit I am not good at this but well sometimes it takes being forward to get me to realize things. Had you not shown me before I would have remained oblivious to your flirtations and what can come of it." She had her food and drink order with a small grin on her face surprised they had a seat she could be at while her attention was on the woman before her.

 

[Zion Mirtis]

Hearing her explanation Raven smirked as wine was poured for her before ordering a nice serving of fish. As she did she held up her glass for a toast, saying "The here's to being forward. And hoping it leads to other...advances for us." She winked before sipping her glass and then taking another moment to admire [member="Darth Praelior"] and all her beauty. Her yellow eyes, more calm this time, examined her head to toe; or at least as far as she could see. "I must ask, Balaya, have you never done this sort of thing before? Surely a lovely woman as yourself must have had someone in the past. Otherwise I'd think it a crime."​

Balaya looked at her as the wine was poured and she took a drink and then another. MOre nervous then when she had fought with the blackblades against the republic, or when she had been left on Vendaxia. She was trying to think... really think of how many times she had done anything and aside from Eruni... nope not a damn things as she took another glass of wine and drank it watching Raven. Her empathy opened to feeling everything while she let her purple eyes rove around but stay on Raven. A skill to look someone in the eyes but not actually make eye contact before she spoke. "Ah not really, I've never ahhh... Never with... there was one girl but she only just kissed me. We never went beyond that." Which was true, Eruni laying in her bed was because after the fall of Korriban there was only one bed in the ship they had escaped on and big enough to share.

 

[Zion Mirtis]

This surprised Raven a little when [member="Darth Praelior"] admitted to never being intimate with anyone. Apparently the closest she'd come was someone who only kissed her, but nothing more. Raven. trailing her finger around the brim of her glass, had said "Really? I must say that is a surprise. A lovely woman like you, not having the chance to...well you know. Well I don't want to rush you, only to let you know that you can trust me." Her hand came down on the table to indicate as such, waiting for Balaya to take it in order to squeeze it gently to show she was telling the truth.​

Balaya looked at her and then at her hand as she put it on the table and placed it over the woman's. "Ah thank you on both accounts." She was still more nervous and going by what she was feeling... Raven knew more then her. That coming from the massive zeltron was a bizarre thing to admit to while her attention was going towards the wine taking another drink. "I've just never had the time with the work in the labs and then all the fights across the galaxy. Plus not many enjoy the idea of a zeltron who can crush a skull with a flexing of her chest."

 

[Zion Mirtis]

"But I'm not many people, am I?" she said with a smirk. "The thing I always find myself attracted to is beauty, and power. And you succeed in both, my lovely." Her other hand reached up and began to trail against [member="Darth Praelior"] big massive arms. "And I'm not afraid of giving this sort of thing a shot. I do enjoy girls with...gifted chests." She winked. After that she leaned back as her food arrived, deciding to dine. As she sate she still noted how nervous Balaya seemed, smiling at it. Her foot reached over and began to rub against hers under the table to add to her more playful sense.​

Well that sent a rush of heat to the large zeltrons cheeks that flushed a darker shade of pink. Thick lines of black appearing for a moment on her arms while she showed she was pretty much all muscle underneath the skin. The food a welcomed distraction though when she felt a foot on her leg and no guts no glory she would do as she always said find something and dedicate to it. If that was trying to figure out how to make this work well she was going to go and do that. "Well then I will have to work to impress I think." She said it with more of a smile and was glad for a zeltrons constitution when it came to drinking as she figured Raven was going to make her need more and more liquif courage as the night went on.

 

[Zion Mirtis]

Raven chuckled in her throat She continued to enjoy er meal, her foot still playing against [member="Darth Praelior"] . During that time she brought up things to talk about. How work was going for her, how the further influence of the Covenant of the Black Rose was going. She even spoke of some of her own personal experiments she was getting into. Then came the question of how things had started for them as a Sith. Raven's was one a lot knew, especially after her former master Taeli had been the one to bring her to the Sith from the Jedi before changing herself. But now she was the one to ask Balaya.​

​

"How did you become a Sith? Where did you start I mean."​

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

[member="Darth Raven"]

There was a look on her face as she was listening and the smirk showed... conversation that wasn't about a great deal of battle or gaining power. Sure they found uses for things but a smirk was on her face while she was thinking about it. "I was born to the mandalorian clans at first and after a disagreement with my father I found myself considered dar'manda and without a home. I drifted and found myself in the siths domain being taken in. THen I was being trained in magics and alchemy with my affinity for combat showing through in the end. I have found myself rather enjoying the time I get to learn and work some of the most dangerous creatures in the galaxy and make even more."

 

[Zion Mirtis]

So she was abandoned and without a home before finding on in the Sith. Not an uncommon story but one Raven could understand. Her hand came out again to comfort her, thinking it might have been a rough subject to relive. "It seems we were both lost before finding what we wanted. Everyone sees the Sith as evil, but if they could see it through our eyes they would see them as salvation. If they agreed to our way of thinking that is." She wavered it off and said "I can promise you this, Balaya, I would never abandon you if I could."​

Balaya looked at her while she smirked. "Oh I hold no illusions, the sith are evil but evil can be many things. There are some benefits to having evil and I've always been bad, now I just get to experiment on things and see what others do." She hadn't invested much in the politics of the sith, even when she was a voice she had been the voice who trained or was just there. Not seeking to be popular or powerful no she had been there working to be something akin to happy as it were. "I think that will be fine, I do not know what will become of anything least of all this. You might grow tired of me."

 

[Zion Mirtis]

With her comment about being 'bad' Raven could not help but make the reply "I have always enjoyed bad girls." She knew ti sounded old but the opportunity was ripe. After that she grabbed her hand and assured her "No, no. Of course not. How could grow bored of you? You're an excellent woman." Music began to play and some of the people at other tables began to dance, making Raven get an idea. She stood, still holding [member="Darth Praelior"] by her hand, and insisting "Come on."​

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

[member="Darth Raven"]

There was a look at her though while she listened and she was happy to hear that.. well it actually felt good before she was feeling herself being led and the fourteen foot zeltron was walking while she heard the music. "Ah you certain about this." Towering over Raven as she looked down her eyes were watching some of the reactions from people while her aura flared to scare some of them. The fore who could feel the force getting uneasy and rubbing the back of their necks while the others stood there feeling something they didn't really understand before her shoes touched the dance floor.

 

[Zion Mirtis]

As she finally had her on the dance floor Raven fixed Balaya's arms so that she was holding her correctly before saying "Don't worry. It's easy. I'll lead." And so she did, going slow enough for [member="Darth Praelior"] to have a feel of how she danced while also giving it time to stay with the lighthearted tune of the music. As she did she looked up at her, smiling, while saying "Don't mind everyone looking. I like to think of it as them being far too jealous." As they continued to dance she sighed with comfort as she rested her head against Balaya as they kept dancing.​

Balaya moved around as she was on the dance floor and a smile cracked her lips. The people around didn't bother her as much though while her voice came out. "That is possible and I haven't even tried releasing pheromones." THere was a look on her face while the thick braided mane of fiery red hair while her body was moving with Raven. "You never know what might happen with some of them, empathy helps learn some things."
