Dear Diary....

[Ryn'Dhal]

Upon hearing the announcement, Ryn looked to one of the guards. "Clear this room. I'm going to try to lure her here to calm her down. And if I fail, no sense in anyone else dying with me. Go!" he barked a quick order, before bolting down the corridors. It took a matter of moments, before he spotted her.

And dear god was she an intimidating sight to behold. Clanging his staff against the wall, the noise would surely draw her attention. Once those fierce, predatory eyes locked onto him, the chase was on.

Through liberal usage of the Force, Ryn'Dhal kept himself out of reach of her swiping claws. It wasn't until he was in the training hall that he turned to face her. As she'd stalk in, as most predators would, cautious of a room with one open exit or entrance, but confident that their quarry was right there for them to take, Ryn'Dhal would wait until she was fully in the room, before gently pulling the door shut behind her.

She'd likely look back at the sound, before snapping a glare and a snarl to the only other occupant in the room. The Force coursed through him, his reflexes fully primed and ready for evasive maneuvers, as he spoke to her, in a clear, rich, soothing, yet authoritative tone. " Alright Kitty, you really need to calm down now.... it's me.... it's Ryn.... calm down, come back to me here. It's just us..... come back to me...." he pleaded with her, still bracing to leap out of her reach. This room was ideal, of it came to a deadly came off tag. Plenty of room for him to dodge and evade in.

Thankfully his endurance was rivaled by almost naught but the Valkyri.

While impressively skilled the guards questioned why they should be listening to this strangers orders. They didn't question for long though as their commander ordered them out of the room.

Having killed many Kitty's behavior was winding down just bit. While still killing everything in sight she was in less of a hurry and more calculated which in a way made her even more dangerous but at least now she was close to regaining control. All it took was one guard to ruin that though. He knew the king would have him killed if he hurt the princess but from what he had seen and heard so far he was going to die anyways as he could hear her rounding a corner towards the room he was hiding in. At least this way he could be on the run from the crown and maybe live in hiding. Besides they were better off with her dead. She was a problem as a kit taking many innocent lives and she was a problem now returning as a sith having her way with things and now she had proven she was just as unstable as shes ever been. Setting his gun to kill he opened fire the moment Kitty rounded the corner. Jumping back in cover from the pain she sustained two wounds one in her leg and the other on her chest. She bellowed in pain releasing a roar strengthened by the force that shook the structure of the surrounding area. She charged back into the corner rushing at the guard at speeds that were impossible for him to follow. He got one shot off that missed before she ripped him apart in her jaws. The shots fired and the roar no doubt revealed her location and soon enough her next target was Ryn.

Wounded but ever determined she cautiously followed Ryn into the training hall. The words spoken only served to irritate her as she launched herself at Ryn with intent to kill. Their deadly dance would continue claws swiping and jaws biting on open air as he evaded her attacks using the force when she got to close. Ever object in her way walls and ceiling included collapsed under the force of her lunges and attacks. This went on for 15 mins which to them felt like an actual life time. The room was no longer existent as there were no walls or ceiling left and the only thing that kept Kitty going despite her wounds was the force flowing through her powered by her rage her ear splitting roars echoing throughout the entirety of the palace. A last ditch effort Ryn latched on to her pleading one file time for her to return to herself. Kitty found it difficult attacking him and resorted to thrashing her body around to try and throw or crush him off. Compared to the size she was now, he was small. She didn't get to do much though as the guard commander from before returned with a few of his subordinates in tow carrying on their backs a large weapon. Originally designed to disable vehicles a goofing off soldier discovered it had another use. Taking aim one of them fired it an electric ball being hurled at Kitty incapacitating her, her body falling limp. A Felecation didn't necessarily automatically shift back after being knocked out as it was technically a physically normal state of being. After being knocked out though raging Felecations were mentally back to normal when they awoke. For Kitty though there was no telling how long that would take.

[Ryn'Dhal]

As the electric orb arced through the air, Ryn let go of Kitty at the last possible moment, falling flat mere fractions of a second before the blast hit her. As soon as she hit the floor and stopped moving, Ryn rushed to her side, his heart racing. He calmed slightly upon feeling that she stopped lived.

As the guard staff lifted and relocated her, he found several of their weapons leveled at him. His eyes narrowed at this, as his ears fell back defensively against his scalp. "And the reasoning for this is....."

"Y-y-y-you're a Sith! Aren't you!?"

Having a heavy sigh, Ryn shook his head, "You would be wrong there, friend. I am Knight Ryn'Dhal, of the Silver Jedi Order. Now, may I go see to the well-being of my friend?"

It wasn't for nearly another hour or so of intense questioning before Ryn'Dhal was finally permitted into the chamber where the great beast that was presently Kitty was being held. It took about twenty minutes to convince them to permit him into the cage with her.

Seating near her head, Ryn'Dhal gently lay her head in his lap, and after covering her with a blanket, began channeling the Force through her. Firstly, her wounds would begin regenerating at a rapid rate, in a matter of minutes, no sign of trauma remaining.

Then, he sought to revitalize her, hoping to stir her back into consciousness. It was at this point, with a stern glance, he asked the guards and medical staff to leave, with some aid of the Force to compel compliance with his wishes.

He knew consciousness was returning to her as her natural state returned. Unfortunately for Kitty, ones garb did not change with them.... but fortunately Ryn though about her decency and pride enough to ensure she was covered and protected from his eyes with the blanket.

As her eyes would begin to flutter, the first thing she would notice was a sensation of calm, and his fingers gently running through her hair. The first sounds she would her would be his soothing voice. "Good morning beautiful.... you're alright.... you're safe.... you're with me...." should she look up, his gentle smile would greet her.

[Kitty]

'Good morning beautiful' That wasn't a waking phrase she was familiar with ever being told before. She could certainly enjoy getting use to it though. Kitty groaned as her large feline eyes fluttered open. She took pause and tensed slightly when she took notice of the hand moving through her fur, but calmed down after she realized who it belonged to. Ashamed of the fear she might cause being in her larger cat form Kitty shifted back to normal, glad the blanket was there to cover herself up. She then got up and backed away from Ryn as if she still posed a danger to him. Tears swiftly began flowing and ears fell in realization of the slaughter she had committed. She had been so long without an incident she got careless and now this easily one of the worst if not the worst she has ever done. "What have I done, why do I have to be like this? I can and have intentionally killed far more and far stronger yet with all this power and strength and with the poke of a stick I lose it and take the lives of those I don't wish to or worse those I care about. You should just go Ryn. I belong in a cage like this." Kitty said with little clarity as she fought her own spill of emotion just to speak. She hadn't even noticed the unusual healing Ryn had gifted her.

[Ryn'Dhal]

Ryn couldn't help but chuckle, before reaching gently towards Kitty. He pulled her into his arms, and in close proximity she could feel him purring. "Hey now.... I came with you, willingly, knowing there could be risks.... what makes you think I'm going to run when you actually need me to stay?" he'd say, gently stroking her hair, his soft voice as a gentle breeze upon her ear. There was no attempt to use the Force on her, just his presence, his touch. Just him.

"You wouldn't leave me, if roles were reversed... I'm sure of it.... let me help you... let me be here for you...." he gently placed a knuckle under her chin, lifting her eyes to his, a soft smile on his face, "Or rather, come with me. We can learn together how to manage this. As a team. You and me. Okay?"

Gently, he pressed a kiss upon her forehead, before pressing his forehead against hers in a show of trust and solidarity, as he simple held her, comforted her, until she was no longer crying and only when she pulled away did he let her go.

[Kitty]

Kitty didn't resist as Ryn pulled her in. Rather she leaned in to him soothed by the thrum of his purring. He was right. If their roles were reversed she totally would have stayed. It made her curious he could already tell that in the short time he had known her so far. When leaned his neck forward to plant a kiss on her forehead she was more internally surprised then anything. It didn't take her much time to decided. "Ok" Was all Kitty managed to say. She never pulled away though.

[Ryn'Dhal]

That still gentle smile remained in place as the unique pair stayed embraced, Ryn'Dhal content to be Kitty's source of comfort. After what felt akin to an eternity, but was more like five to ten minutes, Ryn'Dhal gently pulled away from Kitty, making sure to make eye contact again.

"Let's get you ready to go. We'll go Soceras. I have an apartment there, we'll be safe there, and no one to hold any kind of judgements against you. You'll be free to be yourself. And together, we'll be able to work to help you become the master of yourself completely." he stated, before gently pressing his forehead to hers, a uniquely feline show of trust. "You shouldn't have to live in fear of yourself. I know how horrible it is. I want.... I want to see you soar, to be uniquely free, in your own skin.... you deserve it... perhaps even more than I did." he whispered the last bit, before pulling back again.

The uniquely gentle smile was once more upon that felinoid face, ears focused solely on Kitty, as she deserved all of his attention there, right then, in that moment. "So what do you say?"

At the tail end of their embrace Kitty hadn't realized she had began purring with Ryn. Her subconscious action was interrupted when Ryn broke from their embrace and stared into her eyes. Kitty did the same lost in sort of a trance state. What he said about deserving it more then he did perked her curiosity and she was getting to ask what he meant like that until he asked a question that snapped her out of it. "I said yes already you don't need to ask twice silly. Won't get far till we get out of here though." Kitty got up and walked to the edge of the bars. While they knew she was in control again they fearfully took a couple steps away still not recovered from the chaos she caused. Kitty was kinda hurt by the reaction even if she understood. "Let my parents know I'm all good to go then. If they want proof let them know my proof is Koneko."

An hour past and she wasn't getting any word back from her parents nor were they permitting her or Ryn's freedom. Kitty used the force to throw the guards in front of her cage into the wall knocking them out. She then used the force to grab their key and let herself out of the cage. "Something is up. Got a light saber on you?" Kitty asked Ryn.

[member="Ryn'Dhal"]

 

[Ryn'Dhal]

He smirked at her playful chastisement. "Have to grant a woman a chance to change her mind." he replied with a playful laugh. He did, though, make a mental note to ask about 'Koneko', whatever that meant....

Then things began to become disconcerting. No one came to release them. Ryn felt something foul was afoot before Kitty sprang into action. After downing the guard, she inquired about a saber. A quick nod was given, as he offered one of his twins, 'Balance', to her. The stunningly brilliant silver blade sprang to life in her hands, much like it's twin did in Ryn's, as he burned through the lock of their cage.

Once the pair were free, 'Order' was returned to his hip, as his quarterstaff was taken up defensive instead. An armed guard was approaching, concern thick within his aura. "I hate doing this....." he muttered, sensing the man's weak will.

As the guard rounded the corner into the room, Ryn'Dhal gestured and spoke in a calm, authoritative voice. "They are escaping down the far corridor." "Escaping down the far corridor" the guard excited, eyes falling out of focus. "If you go now, you can catch them." "Catch them..." the guard echoed again, nodding as he turned. His eyes shaped suddenly to last focus as he assumed his rifle down the hall away from them. "Halt!!!! Stop them!!!" he bellowed, giving chase, before multiple guards fell in behind him in pursuit of targets who weren't there.

"That should give us free reign for a while on this side of the castle to try to get either to the bottom of this, or to get to your ship to get off world. Your call, my dear." he surmised, looking to Kitty curiously. He felt himself blush furiously, realizing once again she was standing there in only a blanket.

Woah.... thoughts for another time. A less dangerous time.... you're not James....

[Kitty]

"If a women is going to change her mind she is going to do it weather you give them the chance or not."

Ryn thankfully was still armed. They would have been in a furball if he hadn't. This exact situation is the reason she always remained armed. Crap happens. Bringing the light saber to life Kitty was a little mesmerized by its silver glow while Ryn actually did the work with his other one. What a fortunate coincidence they both used twin light sabers. Kitty watched as Ryn used a technique she believed was called mind trick in which through use of the force you implanted suggestions or commands. She found it interesting he didn't like using it. What she took away from that was that he wasn't fond of making people do things against their will. Kitty could relate. Unless she had no other option she'd rather not do that either. Sith were after all about freedom, though most didn't seem to want to extend that philosophy to others. "I'm all for stealth and stuff but we could have just knocked em out. I mean now they know we got out. At the very least 'we recaptured them' would do the trick." Kitty said to Ryn.

"I want to get to the bottom of this. But first I need my stuff including something to wear besides a blanket." Kitty said holding the blanket together in one hand and the light saber in the other. She didn't meet much resistance on their way to her room and it seemed those that confiscated her belongings were courteous enough to set them on her bed. "Sweet. Alright you stand guard." Kitty said closing the door of her room and locking it. After getting changed and grabbing her light sabers Kitty unlocked the door and opened it back up. "Alright this way." Kitty motioned him to come into her room where she would lead him to a secret door that led to some secret corridors that led to important locations of the palace. They had been installed with the building for emergencies opening to only those of Royal decent.

Kitty led Ryn to a false ventilation shaft that hid above the throne room. She listened to an interesting conversation a guard was having with her parents. "Yes your highness the guest the princess had brought with her who we have now identified as a jedi requested to be let in with the princess. When he did so he lost control with her and shifted. At first we figured due to their similar birth defects it was of no unusual interest however when we sent Oliver in to feed them he also went berserk and attempted killing his fellow guards. We believe their unstable condition to be contagious." Kitty looked at Ryn with a confused look for confirmation. That didn't seem quite right but it wasn't exactly outside of the realm of possibility. When she got confirmation that, that wasn't at all true she shifted her attention back to the conversation. "With all due respect your highness she was unstable trouble when she was a kit and she is even more unstable trouble now that she is grown up and now that we have learned their condition to have contagious aggressive results not only are they a ticking time bomb but a ticking pandemic as well. Please protect your people. The princes will lead our kingdom to ruin."

"Watch your mouth that is our daughter our heir and your princess you speak of!" The queen burst out and was about to continue before the king raised a hand motioning for her to stop. He let out a great sigh and seemed to have lost himself in thought. Kitty couldn't believe they were listening to this sack of spice. Opening the pseudo vent grate Kitty eased herself till she was hanging and swung off jumping right on top of the guard who was spewing all these lies. He toppled to the ground a rib sounding like it cracked and she held his neck down with the extended claws of her hand. "Didn't anyone ever teach you not to screw with a sith." Kitty said before making some light punctures in his neck and injecting her venom. He started screaming and convulsing agonizingly as the venom started spreading throughout his body. Some of the surrounding guards aimed their weapons at her. "You guys want to be next!" Kitty said igniting one of her red light sabers and yelling to be heard over the guards suffering. She was really not happy right now. "Because if not get this traitor out of my sight!" When the complied she put her saber back on her hip. Kitty looked up to her parents with sad eyes and equally sad body language. "What he says isn't true but what is true is as you witness I did loss it and I killed a lot. I'm not going to ruin our kingdom but I am a danger to our people. I'm going to leave and I'm not going to come back till I know I can control myself." Kitty said turning around and walking away. She paid no mind to her parents telling her to wait or stop.

Ryn had landed mere moments behind Kitty, his quarterstaff flourished with practiced ease and control. A reflexive blaster bolt was loosed at Ryn, who almost lazily batted it aside with his staff. Eyes narrowed at the guard, as a hand was extended, palm flat facing the guard. "First ones free.... mind your weapon carefully." he warned sternly.

Hostile weapons lowered, Ryn turned his attention to the Royal family, observing the exchange. As she turned to leave, Ryn bowed to the monarchs, before making measured eye contact with each in turn. "I will be teaching her what I know of controlling the change..... and while she may not need it, I swear I will protect her. She will return, fully in control, and fully herself, as she was always meant to be."

With that proclamation, the feline Jedi turned, briskly striding after the rapidly departing Kitty. He meant what he said. He was going to help her, and protect her, for as long as she would permit him to....

Kitty lead Ryn to her ship and the duo took off leaving the planets atmosphere. "Where to now captain or should I call you master?" Kitty said giggling a little bit. "I could be your padawon. Now I have two masters. One with the jedi and one with the sith I'm a traitor to both!"

[Ryn'Dhal]

"We make for Soceras. We'll be safe, and free, to train and enjoy some time without people assuming we're a threat for simply being a Jedi.... a Sith.... or different" he gestured to his and her appearances at the last part.

"I think you may quite enjoy yourself there. At least, I certainly hope you will. Sometimes a little rough for my tastes, but home is home. I'll send a transmission to my droids to bring the Mask back home, if that's alright with you?" he asked, gesturing to the communications panel.

He was going to look forward to this trip. After getting to Soceras, they'll have plenty of time to actually get to know one another, and to train, and to simply grow, and more importantly, to simply be.

He couldn't wait.

"Yup go for it. You aren't my prisoner this time. I'm just going to go back into my little cage so I don't kill us during the hyper space trip." Kitty said heading for the door to what used to be the cargo hold. "The droid does all the piloting by the way so you don't have to worry about that." Going through the usual motions after the stress of hyperspace got to be too much which didn't take long at all she'd shift and start attacking the very bars that kept her from killing herself. It would take an hour or so after they exited hyperspace for her to regain control though she was still stuck in her larger form. Only very recently has she been able to shift back to her biped form at will however it still took a bit of cool down so to speak after a hyper space trip.

Her cage room void of any life other than her own she had nothing else to do but think about things. She was so relieved it was a guard that had caused the ruckus and not her parents returning to hold behavior. It did remind of her of one thing though. Her people didn't like her. Somehow she had fallen into ignorance of this and she couldn't blame them. As far as the royal family went she had to be the worse. Now she was on a trip to go live with someone truly of her own kind. Someone who didn't care she was a sith, someone who didn't care she was a time bomb, and someone who wanted to get to know her all faults included. Wait get to know her? Did he want to get to know her or did she want to get to know him? It was her wasn't it. That's why she asked to follow him that one time, why she was eagerly agreeing to all this. He was unlike anyone she had ever met before and she did want him. Question was could anyone even want her. She was so messed up just how far did the rabbit hole go. She knew one way to find out.

A goal in mind Kitty hadn't even realized she had already shifted back. Her cage was already open with her droid holding out her usual outfit. Taking a pass Kitty would stalk around her own ship searching for Ryn. Her approach silent her figure out of sight, and her presence non existent, she used her superior senses to find Ryn without him detecting her. Course he had the same sensory advantage only difference was he didn't know he was being hunted. Once locating her target she'd wait till his back was turned and jump on him latching on with a good tight hug.

[Ryn'Dhal]

Flight path set, and jump made. Ryn'Dhal fell into his trance, lost in the Force as is typical during trips like this. As such, he was returned to his senses before Kitty, and had set about getting some food and even some tea ready for when his traveling companion roused and emerged from her domicile.

And though she were quiet, and a master assassin, and even concealed her presence in the Force, she could not fully evade the innate danger sense Ryn had honed over the years. It triggered at almost the last second, the large felinoid pivoting to face the oncoming, airborne Kitty. Her pounce caught him completely off guard. But, that quick glance, and a quick read of her body language brought comfort that this was a playful 'attack'.

As such, he reacted accordingly. Her body slammed into him, and in turn he rolled with the momentum. The two tumbled across the floor, the much larger male shielding the other with his own body. The two came to a halt, faces inches apart. Ryn'Dhal's firearms were both in contact with the ground, one about Kitty's waist, just at the small of her back, and the other pillowing her head. One could easily mistake it as a lovers embrace almost.

Or.... was it not a mistake to think such? Ryn blinked a few times, some confusion set in his eyes, before his fur upon his face started standing on end, his version of a blush, which, at this range, was impossible for Kitty to miss.

"G-good morning...." he greeted, the purr in his voice much thicker than he intended.

[member="Kitty"]​

 

[Kitty]

Ryn reacted at the last second. She had aimed for his back to try and conceal she didn't have anything on, but this might have worked out better. The two tumbled and he seemed to take effort in making sure his much greater size didn't crush her. They ended up in a position Kitty did not expect. It was clear by her interpretation of verbal surprise that it was not intended. Her pupils dilated, her tail thrashing around behind her, and a constant purr make it clear the mood she was in. His blush and his pur that she couldn't determine was intentional or not was all the reception she needed for her answer. However her behavior was not faked and an answer didn't fulfill her need. "Good night." Kitty replied unsure of her own meaning of it. Just felt like the right response for whatever reason. "There isn't really any night or day in space. Makes things a little unpredictable, exciting some might say." Kitty spoke the last sentence in a sultry tone.

[Ryn'Dhal]

His vision remained stationary, locked on with laser precision upon Kitty's own eyes. His ears were splayed at odd angles, an obvious sign of embarrassment. He could feel her lack of clothing, but was too scared, or nervous, to visually confirm. He was a gentleman, through and through.

Her more than slightly 'suggestive' comment made him swallow, involuntarily, and quite audibly. He may be one of pronounced innocence in the ways of courtship and romance, but he was definitely male, and certainly old enough to have ideas. His eyes, almost refusing to blink, as if they may stray if they did do so, betrayed how unsettled he was. His tail, however, in it's slight thrashing and quivering, further betrayed his interest in this situation, if not consciously, then more on a primal, animal wave-length.....

"W-well.... Umm.... I-I see you are.... Well rested, today." He stammered out, completely ill-prepared mentally for interacting with an attractive, compatible, naked female. He knew, somewhere deep in the depths of his mind, that he'd be a damned liar if he said anything contrary to his keen interest in where the current situation could turn to. But, at the same time, his personal moral ethos refused to let him take any form of advantage.

No matter how forward she's been acting, she had yet to actually come forth with her intent, and he was in too unfamiliar of territory to let anything go to the chance of a false assumption.

"You know I get that I kinda came out of nowhere and that was on purpose." Kitty said as she began to undress him since he was clearly too paralyzed to do so himself. "But often times these things do come out of nowhere. It is after all a very large galaxy and the chances of coming across that exceptional someone again is extraordinarily rare. If you don't pounce on those fleeting opportunities then you'll find yourself alone forever. I know I don't want that and I can see you wouldn't want that." Kitty would completely stop once he was all undressed. She wanted him to take some initiative even if she'd done all the work up till this point. She would just stare in his eyes till he had the confidence or bravery to do something.

[member="Ryn'Dhal"]

 

[Ryn'Dhal]

He actually would have started helping her once he realized what he perceived as her intent was correct. He couldn't help but return her stare with a slight smirk, before bringing his face close to hers, their embrace closing tighter.....

____________________________

~Several hours later~

Ryn lay there, Kitty's head resting on his chest, and naught but a sheet covering the two upon her bed. She rested soundly, as he stared at the ceiling, his mind dancing over everything that happened. The passion. The ferocity. The perfection. A gentle smile was firmly affixed upon his maw as he lay there, the peace of the moment only interrupted when one of Kitty's droids chimed out over the com that they were being cleared to land on Soceras.

Gently, Ryn nuzzled his lovers face with his own to gently wake her, complete with a gentle kiss upon her forehead, before softly purring the words into her ear, "Wake up, love.... we're here...."

Kitty slowly woke barely remembering how she had got to her luxurious bed. Her arms reached out to wrap around Ryn pulling him closer before she attempted to go back to bed.
