"You misunderstand me, jedi. I love the power that the dark side gives me. And I wouldn't trade it to be a weak jedi. And the jedi are baby stealers. They are more evil than you believe, for you are one of them. And they killed my parents. I may not be beyond redemption, and I am also not beyond revenge." Rianna gave a slight smile to the jedi and then added "No offense."

The Mentor
He gave a nod to @[member="Antares Windu"]. He didn't speak. He only extended his hand and shook the hand of the Jedi Knight.
A virtue of a Jedi was forgiveness, and allowing redemption... Windu would be forgiven.
As for the ringleaders, the ones with the merciless and remorseless auras... Forgiveness would not come easy to them.
@[member="Antares Windu"]
------------------------------------------
He chuckled faintly then at the statement of @[member="Rianna Rha"]. "Jedi? Baby stealers? I didn't know Kaine Zambrano was a Jedi instead of a Sith Lord... Perhaps I should check my records" he chided. "The Jedi do not kill innocents. If you are led to believe they killed your parents, you have either been deceived, or they had reason to be struck down, likely out of self defense. You do not understand the Jedi way... But sometimes, even I do not understand the Jedi way" he said calmly, sipping his drink.
"Every Jedi behaves in a different form... Some can be brutal, merciless killers... And then there are the virtuous ones. There is no superior behavior. The code is flexible... Though there are times that some Jedi that think a certain way may think that the Jedi in charge is incompetent because he does not think as they do... But opinions are opinions" he said, shooting a small smirk to @[member="Antares Windu"], as if he knew what he meant.

"Nobody is beyond redemption"
Oh how naive. It seemed that she had spoken too soon on the rhetoric part. Revara had been a Jedi before, and she was not going back. There was nothing left to redeem. She was who she was. Why would she have to change to fit the mold?
Revara was hurt by being called a racist, even though it wasn't directed at her. The Empire was known for being anti-alien, but that wasn't the case for her. She'd lived in the slums growing up. Almost everyone on the street was an alien. Prejudice was something she was vehemently opposed to. It was an unfair stereotype and one of the few things she took offense to.
"Why a Jedi?" She asked. "What makes the dark-side wrong? I'm not amazingly knowledgeable about the Force but.. Isn't restricting yourself to one side a waste of potential?" She tried to act as ignorant as possible while goading him along with questions.

"Either way, I don't like them. But you seem a bit different from the others" Rianna said, shooting him a smile. "I never get to have a conversation with one though." She was trying her best not to slur her words but she couldn't help it. "What do you think about me, am I an evil brute?" She smirked a bit, looking down at her beer. This jedi was very interesting indeed
The Mentor
Of course, Josh hadn't directed the racist comment to the Sith in general. It had been to the Galactic Empire, which had a history of that. But if the shoe fits, feel free to wear it, right?
"It doesn't matter whether you are light or dark.. It matters what you do with it. Of course, most Sith, most users of the dark side use their powers for nefarious reasons, while the Jedi and light siders tend to use it for the opposite. Does it apply to everybody? No. But the vast majority and then some. You could say it's easier to classify things into good and evil that way.. But really, it's very rare you see a Sith use their powers for good, just as it is to see a Jedi use their powers for evil" he said. "And considering what the Sith have done to me, even before I became a Jedi... I have very good reason to pick the Jedi" he said, giving a small smile to @[member="Revara Serebis"].
He knew she wasn't as ignorant as she sounded... Not via some godly intuition, but by studying her face... Studying her emotions. The eyes told many tales.
He looked to @[member="Rianna Rha"] then and smirked. "I am no different from the others, like I said" he said to her. "All Jedi are different... Some are just more tolerant then others. You just need to find the right ones"
He looked Rianna over. "You don't look like a brute to me. Kind of skinny to be one, actually" he said. "Curves aside anyway, but those don't count" he teased, giving a confident grin.

Rianna laughed a bit at the handsome jedi's comment. "If you say everyone is different, you would be a hypocrite to say that you are no different, wouldn't you?" She smiled, knowing she had him there. "Well I'm glad to know I'm not a brute at least" She said, smiling. "You're different because not every jedi is that handsome." What was she thinking? Rianna covered her mouth, she didn't mean to say that out loud. Damn beer, She thought.
The Mentor
"I am no different from the Jedi that are willing to sit down and have a conversation with Sith, in terms of that no" he said with a small smile. At her next comment, he laughed a bit, but brushed it off otherwise.
"Guessing neither of you have a special someone in your life if you're getting this cozy then?" he asked, teasing the both of them again. He seemed to have no problem with this kind of speech with Sith...

To Be Or Not To Be
The Devaronian sitting a table away from the group was probably developing a headache at this point. For the past few minutes the White Knight had been paddling inside his mind, using his ears to listen to the conversation they had. It was an interesting one to say the least. The Jedi who stood seemed generic enough as a Jedi. The drunk Sith said she was searching for him. Which made GasMask very uneasy. The other one, the sith who was a terrible liar, she was trying way to hard to seem dumb. A skull you are forced to develop as a bounty hunter is telling when someone is lying. Her tells were obvious. He read her like and open book. The last one, the Jedi with the blonde hair. He appeared so.... Confident. Strong. Not a regular Jedi. A master? No... More than that. A grand master. But not currently. He would be at the temple. He was a powerful Jedi. That he could tell from pure sensory, but his voice, his persona told so much more. At that note the white knight made his first move, taking one small singular step to the right towards the door. Nobody appeared to notice, but he could only hope and wait.

"How observant of you" Rianna said, laughing a bit. By now she had noticed a man watching them. He seemed familiar but she couldn't get a good view of him, or she was too drunk to know who he was. "I presume you don't, jedi, because of your code." She smiled at the thought of the jedi code. So many useless restrictions for no reason whatsoever. She noticed that the other jedi was still standing there. "You got a name jedi? Do either of you?" Rianna laughed because no one had introduced themselves
The Mentor
He laughed a bit. "The code stopped restricting relationships years ago, young lady. You need to brush up on your history" he joked playfully as he took a sip of his drink.
"And... You never did answer my question" he said, giving a chuckle. He would hold off on answering it himself until he heard it...
As for names... Ah, that was a tricky one. Did he give his real name, and risk them realizing he was the former Grandmaster... Or use a fake one? Choices, choices...

"No, no special someone." She said, taking another drink of beer. "Now, what's your name? I'm Rianna." She paused, not knowing if she should say her last name. Deciding not to, she looked into the jedi's eyes, hoping he would just tell her. She stared him down with her big black eyes, waiting for an answer.
The Mentor
He chuckled a bit. "Josh" he said. "As for a special someone...." he began, not bothering to give a last name. "While I'm not committed to someone, there is someone I work with that... May or may not have caught my eye. Not giving any names though" he said with a chuckle. "I don't know if there's anything there, but there's a trust for her that I can't shake. No matter how down I am, seeing her just puts a smile on my face" he admitted. He didn't trust most Sith of any kind... But this wasn't giving them any information that could be used for harm.

Rianna smiled. Josh. It was a nice name. "Well that's good then." She said, starting to feel dizzy. How many drinks did she have? The better question was who cares. "Is she a jedi?" She didn't want to be nosey so she kind of sank back into her chair, drinking another beer. Maybe she should just go back to the ship..
The Mentor
He laughed a bit. "She might be. All I'm giving though" he said, sticking his tongue out at her as he took a drink. Unlike the Sith, he was trying to be modest with his drinks... Of course, the former Grandmaster DID have a tolerance built up, so it wasn't like he couldn't binge and still be decently sober. Maybe even a few drinks might make him forget his troubles....

Rianna tried to use the force to read his thoughts, but she couldn't. He was unusually strong in the force and beer certainly wasn't on her side. "Someone has something to hide" she said, teasing. She leaned closer to him and said, "If you're going to actually drink, try the spiced liqueur and blue tonic." Draining another bottle of beer, Rianna leaned against the jedi. He didn't look like a man now, rather a blob. Everything was moving side to side and she couldn't make sense of it..

He smirked faintly. "Perhaps I just don't kiss and tell" he teased. "Even if we haven't kissed" he snarked with a cheeky grin. This woman was getting more and more drunk... And getting closer and closer after every drink. He raised an eyebrow now, warily. Did he keep talking to this Sith woman or did he pay for a night at the nearest hotel room and drop her off on the couch in a room?
@[member="Rianna Rha"]
@[member="Rianna Rha"]
Rianna laughed at the comment. "Well does she know you like herr? Because if you don't tell her you may never get to." She paused, trying not to think about the last guy she liked, how he died. She sat back up straight and the waitress put another beer beside her, which she just slid away. She stared into space, trying to forget that day.
The Mentor
He shrugged. "Not sure. Took her out not too long ago after a mission" he said with a shrug. "More or less a business/catch-up dinner, since after the mission I didn't see her again until after the Sith and Fringe wars"
That might be the only identity hint he'd give...

"Well I wish you two some luck. If it helps you not to be worried or whatever my full name is Rianna Rha. Don't worry about telling me anything anyways, I probably won't even remember tonight" She said, glancing at the pile of beer bottles on the table. "I would be more likely to kiss you than to try to kill you anyways" she said. Why the hell did I say that? Stupid stupid stupid!
The Mentor
He laughed a bit. "I kind of figured that out" he said, motioning to how close she had gotten. At least now she knew and... HOPEFULLY wouldn't try any funny business. Sadly for her, he hadn't given his full name. Which might be effective at this moment because Josh was notorious for how he reacted when a woman was getting a little too close with unwanted attention. There were a couple of names, some known far and wide across the galaxy, that could attest to this fact.
Well... Except one. A former Chancellor, actually. She escaped the deathly headbutts because someone didn't want to headbutt someone that would probably crumble into ash if he did.
