An Age of Iron (Siobhan)

She nodded slowly, "I suppose so." The girl did lift a brow at the when you're older comment, wondering what Tempest had started to say, but clearly had covered up for. Perhaps it was a good time for Siobhan to have the birds and the bees conversation with her.

Now she actually smiled, relieved for a break. "I'd like that, sounds perfect to me."

Dropping Galina off at the villa, Tempest went looking for Siobhan to give her initial thoughts. So far things had gone well, been simple, and Galina was coming around. Tempest could only hope it remained as such.

Approaching, she knocked on the door to Siobhan’s office, feeling a little bit better about things than before.

Meanwhile, for Galina, Harmony appeared to give the young girl some attention.
“Rough day?” the maid asked with a smile.

It took a moment or two then the door would suddenly open before Tempest, letting her in. She would find Siobhan sitting behind her massive mahogany desk, which was stacked with datacards and reports, along with a half-empty cup of Atrisian tea. The Countess looked overworked and a bit tired, but gave the Dahomian a smile when she saw her.


"Tempest, good to see you. Please sit down," she said, pointing to a chair. She pinched the bridge of her nose before she took another sip from her glass. "How are things going between you and Galina?" she asked, trying to keep the fact that on a certain level she had feared it would go poorly out of her tone.

Trolling was learned behaviour, it had to be, because Tempest instinctively fell into doing it at random times. She had put on a neutral, someone downcast demeanour when she’d entered.

However, when Siobahan had finished she’d suddenly grinned broadly. “It’s gone really well! She’s just taking a break until after lunch. I’m going to do this slowly to start with. I want her to feel comfortable with what I’m doing before we start having her bringing down the sky.”
 
Galina had wandered off into the kitchen and was working on making herself a sandwich. Something simple and easy, but not something she took for granted. For too long food had been a difficult matter of what creatures she could hunt and take down. Now, it was as simple as walking to the fridge, and finding something she desired.

With a sandwich now in hand, she sat down at the table, glad for the break.

For a moment Siobhan looked deeply concerned when saw how downcast Tempest looked, then she realised her naughty minion was trolling her! She had taught her too well. "Bad pet, you'll be thoroughly punished tonight," she declared, giving Tempest a telekinetic smack on her shapely butt.


She released the breath she had been holding and leaned back into her chair, smiling. "Glad to hear things are going well. I imagine she isn't the easiest assignment for you and appreciate what you're doing. Galina's a sweetheart, so it'll take baby steps to make her get used to this. But be firm with her," she said. Reaching out with her hand she cupped Tempest's cheek and gave the Dahomian a deep kiss.

Tempest raised her eyebrows. “Promise, Mistress?” she said sweetly.

“I will be firm with her though. It’s still new to me as well. I might see if Phylis or one of those Jedi are available at some point for some tips on how to handle the philosophy stuff. I’m pretty sure I can teach her how to control and use the Force, but the morality side I’m not that good on. What do you think?”

[member="Galina Kerrigan-Alcori"]
Meanwhile as Galina sat down for her sandwich she was joined by Chesna.
“Hey, Gally,” she said happily. “Fun day so far?”
Quite unfairly she was eating an ice cream sundae because…well…she could. Seemed being a demi-goddess had advantages when it came to keeping a good figure, even after 20,000 years!

"Jedi can't even figure out their own morality or religion. One minute they're sinking cities, the next pondering the meaning of their little finger while worlds burn because violence is bad. Holier than thou, sanctimonious hypocrites with their heads in the clouds," Siobhan said sarcastically. She clearly did not like Jedi much, excluding Coryth and Phylis. Later on she would add Coci to the list of Jedi who were cool.


"In my opinion you're selling yourself short. She doesn't need a complex sermon about Light and Dark Side, just common sense. Don't take advantage of innocents just because you're a space wizard, don't think might makes right, keep your sense of proportion instead of mistaking power and self-righteousness for insight, don't tie yourself slavishly to a Code that puts blinkers on your eyes. In other words, don't be a dick. You're not big on philosophy, neither am I and you're probably a more decent person than I am. If you want help on morality stuff, go talk to Coryth. She's amazing and is a rare Jedi who can talk and think like a normal person. Phylis maybe. There's also Eileithya. I had her heal Galina's old wounds and extract a bullet from her some time ago."
 
Galina smiled faintly at Chesna.

"Hey..." She said quietly. "Fun, not quite what I'd call it. More unnerving than anything else, but I guess I'm getting used to it slowly." Yes, quite unfair that she had a sundae when she was stuck with a sandwich!

Noticing Galina’s look, Chesna pushed the bowl across a little. “Want some? It’s got real saanberry sauce!” she tempted. “Come to the calorie side, Galina…we have ice cream!”

Meanwhile Tempest shrugged. “I guess. The Force makes everything that more complicated. But yeah, it shouldn’t be too hard. Famous last words I guess! I’ll go get something to eat and head out with her again. I’ll be sure to report back for ‘debriefing’ tonight.”

The Countess arose from her chair and ran a hand down Tempest's back. "Good girl. Maybe Mirien and Tegs will join us? I'm sure they'd...like a thorough progress report from you," Siobhan said, somehow managing to keep a completely straight face. The Dahomian was definitely an...asset. Well, she certainly had them! On a more serious and less puerile level, Siobhan was very proud of her and happy things were going well. "Get something to eat, darlin. I'll check on 'Lina, then you two can head out again." With that she would make her way to the kitchen.
 
If only Chesna knew, it didn't take much to convince the young redhead of the joys of ice cream. "Sure." Galina looked to the dish for a moment, before grabbing a spoon and taking a bite. "Mmmm.... delicious." She said with a grin. It would be just her luck if Siobhan walked in at that particular moment.

With a final smirk, Tempest left. Heading down to the kitchen she let mother and adoptive daughter have their space, and so she ran into Harmony who was eagerly waiting news.
“How did it go?”
“Well. I guess I can get used to this teaching thing,” Tempest replied with a shrug. “Going to do some more after lunch.”
“Well have fun, I’m going to go for a swim, but I have to wait for my nails to dry.”
“You live a hard life, Harmony,” Tempest said with a sigh.

Needless to say Siobhan chose this exact moment to enter the kitchen. "You two are having ice cream without me? Naughty girls," she exclaimed in mock annoyance before stepping forward and giving her daughter a hug. Needless to say she then liberated an ice cream cup for herself. Sometimes she envied Chesna because that woman did not have to watch her weight! That said, Siobhan strongly disliked the stick figure image that was being propagated by Holowood. It only gave young girls an awful self-image. After all, she loved womanly curves.


"I had a chat with Tempest about your progress, dear. I'm very proud of you," she said sincerely. As for what Siobhan would do later, well, she planned on joining Harmony and going swimming. Presumably...it would be a very fun swim.
 
Galina glanced up to see Siobhan joining them within the room. Truth be told, she wasn't feeling all that confident and still a little upset with the whole training thing. It wasn't something she liked or enjoyed so far, and really didn't like being forced into it without an option. Wrapping her arms around her mother, she returned the hug gently before releasing her, and turning back to Chesna.

She did her best to feign a smile at her mother. For the moment choosing to let her mummy at least think she was alright and well with everything. After all, Galina felt a bit guilty for hurting Siobhan earlier. "Thank you." She said softly, taking another bite from Chesna's ice cream before she set the spoon aside. "Don't like it, though." She said sadly. Clearly Galina was lacking a fair bit of confidence and any certainty in what she was having to do. It was all still entirely too foreign to her, and strange. Granted she was adjusting better to it, but it still was not something she liked at all at this point in her life. It was simply something her mother was requiring to do.

Chesna leaned forward and gave Galina a hug and a friendly ruffle of the hair.

"You'll be fine! The Sciia is great for all sorts of things like..." she saw Siobhan's look and like Tempest she waffled slightly, "uhh...things. Still, if you need any help or advice just let me know. I've had the very best Eldorai Mistresses train me for centuries. Sometimes with the Force too!" she added with a wink.
 
[member="Tempest"], [member="Galina Kerrigan-Alcori"]


Siobhan coughed slightly. "Chesna...," not a warning at all. That said, Sciia was useful for all sorts of...things. Little did Galina know that there were rather creative applications for cryomancy, as Auntie Coryth could confirm. "You'll be fine, Galina. Believe in yourself, don't let fear rule you. It's just another tool you're learning to use," she said in what may or may not have been a reassuring tone. "Tempest managed, I managed, so will you."
 
Galina sighed and nodded to Chesna, "I guess so.... I still don't like it at all." She almost whispered. It was something she really wanted neither of the other women to hear. She gave a small nod as she finished her ice cream and set it aside, "I will I promise." Clearly a bit oblivious to the joke that was flying right over her head. Thankfully she had not gotten the birds and the bees talk, yet. But in time that was coming too.

"I'll try mum. Just strange.... I tried, didn't fail but I still dislike it. It still makes me nervous and afraid and I don't like that." She sighed softly, brushing the hair back from her face, "I'm trying ....." It was all that could be asked of the girl so soon.

Tempest, having completed her chat with Harmony, and maybe a bit of a kiss too, entered the room.
"Hey, no one told me there was ice cream here!" she said with a pout.

"Ready, Galina?"
 
[member="Galina Kerrigan-Alcori"], [member="Tempest"]


"I'll make sure there's some left when you come back, sweetie," Siobhan responded because pouting Tempest was so cute, giving the Dahomian a kiss. "You two keep at it. I'm very proud of both of you." Her tone was warm and hopefully encouraging, but it equally left no doubt about the fact that she would not budge when it came to Galina's training.


"Be a good girl, Galina. The Force will get easier in time and become completely natural. And listen to your Auntie Tempest." As for herself, after all the paperwork Siobhan had decided she needed a break and so she would spend her time working out and then go swimming. Presumably there would be crochet with Harmony in the pool. There were perks when you were boss!
