“Oh, no fear there. Siobhan Kerrigan will be extraordinarily friendly with you. And try and seduce you too. I bet she’ll try the old ‘You look just like a maid of mine’, or something. Just let her know you’re not interested and she won’t press it.”
This red Twi’lek was Nantaris’! He wasn’t having her being swept off to the other woman’s harem.

“We’ll translate the item and then we’ll make sure it never comes back, okay? Stay strong for me, Sinya, you’re doing great!” he said with a smile. An arm around her shoulder, under the lekku of course, a nod, then stepping back.
“Come, we don’t want to keep the Countess waiting.”

And so off they trotted to Siobhan’s lavish suite on the Skyport. A pair of Amazonian guards let them in to a lavish meeting room and then departed to fetch the boss.

“One thing Siobhan has is a great taste in drinks. Feel free to take some from the bar,” Nantaris said. He was already pouring some himself.

Master and Padawan had to wait a bit in the lavish meeting room, then the Lady herself arrived. Siobhan had a way of arriving that conveyed she owned the place and expected everyone to bow down and fawn over her.


Her aura radiated poise, command and authority. The Countess was wearing an elegant black skirtsuit that...fit her well, along with a pair of silk stockings. Small, expensive looking earrings graced her ears. "Nantaris, a pleasure to meet you again. I take it your business went well. I'd offer you some wine, but I see you're already helping yourself!" she greeted him in a cheerful tone. Would he be expected to kiss her hand?


Who knew. However, then her eyes fell upon the lovely Twi'lek at his side."Please sit down. Hello there, my beautiful darling. If I may say so, you have the loveliest lekku. What's your name?" Whereas Sumiko had been chilly, Siobhan seemed warm and friendly. Probably also a bit pompous. Her Dark Side aura was also very evident since she made no attempt to hide it.

"Nantaris keeps strict protocols about lekku appearance, even has a video about it," Sinya joked lightly, "And thank you my Lady, I'm Sinya' olan," she responded with a slight bow. "I do not mean to step out of line but you look exquisite yourself."

During her time dancing she had courted men and women of all ranks and types, but this woman was a rarity to have the pleasure of dancing for where Sinya came from. It was difficult to pull her eyes off Siobhan.

To force herself to do just that, Sinya walked over to the bar, grabbed what she hoped was a little stronger than normal booze and placed it in a glass, knocking it back in a gulp.

"Excuse me, been a long day," she said with a very pleased smile.

Nantaris could see warning signs here. He wanted to prevent, if possible, his apprentice ending up in either Siobhan’s bed and/or her harem.

He coughed slightly at Sinya’s words. “Yes, well, we don’t need to go into the video right now,” he said, then sought to move the discussion on.

“Thank you, Siobhan, you know I always know the way to the drinks,” he said with a smile.
“We were dealing with an associate of yours, Sumiko Tanaka. We found a Sith item and she is the closest I think either of us are comfortable dealing with.”

“This is Sinya’olan…my Padawan,” he said, stressing the last word just a touch. “She’s learning well, I helped her get free of some particularly nasty Hutts. Once again, I thank you for use of your facilities here.”

He took a sip.

"Aww, thank you, darling," Siobhan said happily. Compliments always put her in a good mood. Especially if the one voicing them was a beautiful woman. She sat down upon a leather chair, crossing one finely stockinged leg over the other. Putting a glass of wine to her lips, she had a sip. "Feel free to take advantages of all the amenities here. And if your lekkue needs tending, well, I'm a very good masseuse."


This was not bragging. She really was. However, at this stage Nantaris had to step in. "You're welcome. I imagine the chat with Tanaka was productive and frosty, yes?" she asked rhetorically. "She's a queen and too shady for Firemane to employ, but good at what she does. So I tolerate her."


While keeping her under surveillance because she didn't trust the Atrisian much. Oh, and the lovely Twi'lek was his Padawan! Sweet. She flashed the woman her best smile. "Hutts are vile creatures, excluding one or two of them." Varosh was obviously a big exception. He always had good tips about the latest footwear from Trada. "Glad to hear Nantaris helped you. He's a good teacher. How are you getting on with your training, dear?"

(OOC: Sorry about the delay, had some family things happen that took me away suddenly)

She couldn't agree more about Tanaka, "She was a bit cold, but seemed like the right choice for our needs."

She walked up next to her master and tried to give a small glance, assurance that the flirting game was one she was use. Still, this was more than pleasant.

"My master is an excellent teacher and guide, my lady," Sinya said, brushing a lekku off her shoulder and returning the smile with a small yet sensual one of her own, "I am in him and his crews debt for taking me in when I had no place to go."

She laid her arm on Nantaris' shoulder briefly then let it fall to her side, taking another long drink. She won't mind being in the company of someone like Siobhan for extended time but her master had....almost...nothing to worry about from Sinya leaving him....at least not for more then a night!

(No problems!)

Nantaris wasn’t entirely sure he was picking up all the cues given by his Padawan. Was she trying to seduce Siobhan or falling prey to her charms?
Either way, when she touched his arm and said nice things he smiled.

“My pleasure, dear. A thank you once again, Siobhan. I’ve organised a second meeting with Sumiko, but until that time do you mind if we make use of a training room here on the station? Also, perhaps best get a couple of rooms to stay in.”
He could pay of course, if Siobhan asked.

“The Queen is well, I trust?” he added. He looked to Sinya. “The Eldorai Queen is a very wise and powerful woman named Anya…throne name of Tirathana. We go back a fair way…I can probably get a meeting with her if you’d like to meet a Queen.”

Siobhan was probably in the dark about some of Sumiko's shadier activities. Or at least wasn't inclined to probe too deeply since she was useful. Should this change - or Sio hear about her brief affiliation with a certain Sith Lord - she'd kill her without a second thought.


Anyhow, she gave Sinya a smile. Siobhan was a firm proponent of freedom of choice, so if the Twi'lek was interested in spending a night with her and then going her way, that was totally ok!


"Well, I am glad you found each other. You're welcome to come here any time, my beautiful darling," Siobhan said warmly, flashing the girl her best smile. Her eyes flicked over to the Scotchman.


"Anya is very busy, but well, as much as the circumstances allow it. Kaeshana's destruction hit her hard, but she's soldiering on very well. Little Ariane is adorable. We're just waiting for her to say her first word. You're free to use the training room and I can organise rooms for the night."

"Well I'm sure the Queen is a lovely individual I would not want to bother her, but thank you for the invitation," Sinya said.

In truth she was ready to hit the training room, it had been a bit since her master pummeled her and made jokes all the while. Plus she was feeling a little more energetic since this chance meeting.

"My Lady it has been a great pleasure to have meet you and glimpsed your beauty," she bowed slightly and gave Siobhan one last smile, "I hope we meet again."

She turned her gaze toward Nantaris, "I don't know if I've ever been more excited for training, Master, please lead the way."

Nantaris had to smile a little. Flattery would get you everywhere, and he knew that Siobhan wouldn’t be complaining!

And now Sinya wanted training, well, Nantaris was happy to oblige. It would be good to get the girl’s mind off the Dark Side artefact and back on the path of being a Jedi.

“Thank you again, Lady Kerrigan. Much appreciated.” He gave her a friendly nod and left with the Twi’lek beside him.

The next stop would be a training room where he could tire Sinya out a little bit.

Before Nantaris and his student left Siobhan would get a word in. After all, she'd been tagged! "You're welcome to do a lot more than just glimpse my beauty, darling. You're very welcome to come by later and spend the night with me. I am sure I can make things very enjoyable for you," Siobhan said with a broad grin, giving Sinya a wink.


One or two buttons on Sio's shiny blouse might have come undone as if by magic, exposing a hint of truly regal cleavage. "Do give me a call if you need anything, Nantaris," she gave the Scotchman a friendly nod as the two presumably went on their way.

A few words came to mind as she was invited both to a bedchambers and to a peak at noble cleavage before they departed "I'm sure we would both enjoy it my Lady," she said with a slight bow before turning away with her master, giving her hips some extra side to side sway as they left Siobhan and headed for the training room.

"This day as went from icy waste to the center of a sun, you keep some interesting company master," Siobhan had reminded her of her pleasurable days of dancing, compliments and invites from beings Sinya would have given herself to for the evening, rather than the Hutts and their slime.

They continued a short way until they come to the training area. She did some quick stretching and then waited for Nantaris to speak to see what they would be doing or if her had other things on his mind.

“Oh yes, she’s certainly a passionate one,” Nantaris chuckled to himself. He left it at that, he and Siobhan had a lot of respect for each other, but nothing more.

Nantaris led Sinya to the training arena where he hurriedly devised a routine which would so thoroughly test and exhaust the Twi’lek that she wouldn’t feel able to take up Siobhan’s offer later that night! Sinya was HIS Twi’lek, dammit!

Either way, when they’d finished, he offered her his hand to come back to have dinner with him.
“I’m hoping Sumiko is ready to answer tomorrow, and from there we will know where to go.”

"I do as well, the more I hear about the object the more interested in it I become," she realized that sounded as though she might want to use it herself and quickly added, "purely from a wanting to learn about a soul sucking object point of few!"

Both of them pulled out their lightsabers, their soft humming filling the room. Sinya spun hers around and was immediately on the defensive. Her Master was coming harder and faster than was normal. Luckily the lethan had some extra built up energy that she was more than willing to expend.

After a few well done...and a more then a few lucky...parries Sinya realized this might all be about her actions earlier. She didn't feel guilty, her master had her loyalty.

Hopping back from the duel she said, "You needn't worry, Siobhan isn't going to steal me away, saving my life and taking me does put one ahead of...well pretty much everyone."

“My dear girl, I’m not worried about that,” he said reassuringly. He too stepped back. “Though I joke a fair bit and don’t always seem firmly set on business, I am always committed to my role and my job. I’ve noticed that you are too, Sinya, I just want you to stay focussed. Have your dallies on the side, so long as they don’t compromise you as a person or your skills.”
They practiced a little more before he took her hand and led her off to dinner.

The Tirathana Skyport had many expensive and exquisite dining places, but Nantaris being a space Scotchman was not prepared to splash out too much.
And so he chose a nice little cantina in the ‘Offworlder’ quarter of the station and secured a booth by the window looking down over Tygara.

Handing the menu to Sinya he smiled. “I’m very pleased you’ve decided to stick with me all this time, Sinya,” he said.

"As am I, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't happened upon me in that dive," she said taking the menu. She ordered a drink and some of the local, edible, plant life.

Not wanting to talk to much about what they had come here to do, that relic still weighed on her mind, she asked something that had been nipping at the back of her brain for a while now, more so after some of the actions she had seen.

"Master, why did you leave the order? I mean I'm sure being rogue has its advantages but for what you do, saving people, finding out about old Sith soul sucking rods of doom, just seems like something a...uh...normal Jedi does," she didn't want to pry into his past to much but, to her at least, he seemed much more in tune with the light than the dark.

“Being a rogue is less extreme than it might sound. Some take it to mean that those who do not follow the dictates of the Jedi Order are somehow reprehensible anarchists who seek only to cause chaos. That’s not it at all. I left the Order because I saw they were a short-sighted band of magocrats determined to hold onto their power. To my mind I serve people better under my own steam, working with the Coalition.”

Though he’d never admit it, Nantaris also just hated being told what to do! Oppositional Defiance Disorder was clearly a thing in this galaxy too.

“How about you, Sinya? I can’t see you wanting to go and sit politely in a temple and listen to lectures about how sinful you are….” Perhaps a misrepresentation, but to Nantaris’ mind not much of one!
