Night at the Museum

[Elise Ike]

​

The echo of shoes against old timber floor echoed through the main hallway as elise strode to one of the back exhibition halls, a small yawn escaping her mouth upon reaching the slightly out of place electric door. A simple eye scan and hand swipe later she was greeted with a lit up room, the side walls and arranged tables housing an array of items from the past, some cheap trinkets of novelty, other were more valuable, under lock and key, a very familiar sight, but quite the welcome one after a good week work.

It was nice to be back, even if some people found the secluded world of Saleucami to be boring it had it perks. Clam, quite relaxing and most of all plenty of room to conduct experiment and reconstruct massive skeletons. For now, the former was the attractive part of the country mansion, her time on Nar Shadda tracking down an old Holocron not helping her distaste for large crowds, less so ones filled to the brim with cock smugglers and rude thugs. First thing to do after getting this new artifact secure was to lay down and read a nice book, perhaps a cheesy comedy, just to see how silly the writers could get rather then the actual jokes and story.

With that goal in mind the ancient but mouthful looking women strode over to the most secure part of the room, a vault like contraption, covered in a steel case of some sort, it's inner linings coated with void stone. A safe, specially made to house force artifacts and hide their signatures from any nosy force users, all in all a decent storage space, if but temporary, not that she ever needed it.

Seemed her choice of settlement was better then expected, she hardly ever got visitors, let along intruders. Kind of a bore, but at least if gave peace of mind, how many Sith Lords could admit to having such a care free and casual life?

[Salis]

The former Sith looked at her mask, running a finger over the scars on her mouth in thought, breathing in and out slowly as they closed in on the target. She had been hired for a job, a "restealing" as he called it. He wanted his artifact back, wouldn't be very descriptive though. Said she'd know it when she saw it and had given her the location of where it supposedly gone. And any additional items she brought back would be given extra pay. Well so far as Salis was concerned, she really didn't care if he was telling the truth about who it belonged to before or not. She was getting paid, and if she wasn't, she'd kill him and take what she wanted. Betrayal was unacceptable.

Salis put the mask on now, the helmet, the whole uniform in place, armed and ready. Her saber hidden in a pouch behind her waist, pistols, and a rifle. Her droids would guard the ship. Of course, she couldn't land close, that would be stupid. Just in case anyone was home she'd rather deal with them once she was already inside. So she landed the ship aways away, and started her journey, she was careful with every step. If this was an expensive item as it sounded, security measures were certain. She every step she watched for mines, often using trees or something in order to avoid actually having to step on the ground. Watching out for any possible cameras or sensors as she started making her way towards the building.

She looked at it from the outside in thought, reaching out with the force, trying to get an idea of the layout. And as she did so trying to consider her entry point. She wasn't aware just yet of the one inside. Focused on deciding her entrance. She didn't care for this to be the most stealthy of routes. She didn't use enough tech for that, so she started making her way to one of the upper windows, using the force to leap high into the air and land gently on the roof. Grabbing onto it and hanging down to use a phrik throwing knife to try and pry open a window as gently as possible, if it happened to fall out quickly she would reach out with the force to catch it.

Her little invasion had begun.

[Elise Ike]

Stealth, there were many ways to go about such an action, technology, shear skill the force and so much more, in each case the ability to sense the person became next to nill without the right countermeasure. Thankfully Elise had such a counter measure, but not one people tended to take into consideration, smell. She didn't hear sound, nor did the intruders force signature seem apparent, but their scent was quite easy to distinguish against the old women home and country air. If she had to give a description sooty would be the best, almost like ash in some regard, not that is mattered, the only thing needed was conformation of the intruder, though the question remained, who were they any why had they come here?

What ever the case Elise was not sticking around to find out, quickly attaching her old saber to belt and walking back into the main hallway, her vampire instincts telling her the prey was on the second floor somewhere. 'This will be fun, too long have I gone without a proper fight, my sword arm has needed practice'. Getting into a low stance she too started to stealthy roam the halls, as best she could quietly scaling the stares, the scent becoming more potent with each step, yes they were up here. Elsie's heart started to race faster, the sense of a fight coming creating a thrill of excitement form the women, muscles becoming taught ready to strike at a moments notices. Still she did not act rash, this place was her home, the defense was hers, no waiting and seeing how the intruder would act seemed ideal, just as her ancestors did before, stalk the enemy before striking, you are the predator.

Salis kept her eyes out as she moved, unaware just yet of the fact she had already been discovered. She couldn't see any sensors on the window frame or in the room, so she felt she'd chosen correctly. Still, she didn't want to risk getting caught unawares, so she was always watching and listening. Salis's steps were silent, and she slipped nearer to the door that would let her into the rest of the house. She needed to find the vault, then she paused. If there was someone out there, going out into the halls was the absolute best way to get spotted.

She put a hand on the wall next to her, the one that should lean into another room, considering for a moment trying to figure out how thick it was and flipping the phrik knife in her hand in thought, she needed to buy some kind of laser cutting device. That would really make this part much easier. No, trying to cut a whole all the way through would take far too much time, even if she could do it in a vaguely reasonable time, it was too long to risk since someone might come in. She rolled her rifle into her hands, risking being discovered it was. Without laser tools, and without wanting to activate her lightsaber due to the noise it would make cutting through the walls, it seemed the most convenient option. She breathed in and flipped her finger, the door opening on her command, and she glanced to one side, a wall, a roof, the floor, she looked to the left, that would be the rest of the hallway, she pushed out the rifle at the ready, her breathing picking up but still quiet as she thought about the idea of getting into a fight. That was the whole reason she took up this line of work. For the fun. The whole reason she had even been a Sith, was so she could fight.

[Elise Ike]

Elise was not sure how much time had passed, it seemed to take forever, waiting until the intruder showed themselves into the main hall. If they were trying to keep things stealthy and quite without using 'alternate' means of door opening they would need to come through this path. So far, no movement, it was rather frustrating in all honesty, but patience, she was not your regular Sith, not some headstrong idiot who'd have dust down every do in order to find the one sullying their home. She would wait, like a spider in a web, the entire house being such a web, anticipating a small twitch to tell her of the any annoying fly that dared to wander in.

Her efforts were rewarded as finally a small creek echoed throughout the halls, the door from her study opening, Elise ducking behind a corner to avoid detection. It was hard to attain any details from them, only seeing the start of some black armor before she had to conceal herself. Who ever was coming didn't skim on the protection, were they planning on a fight? If so did the person have some sort of idea about her true density? It was hard to know but one thing was for certain, her new opponent could probably fight, perhaps they were a force users too, would make sense considering the artifacts in her possession. It was hard to make a decision, but right now she couldn't really keep up her act, she could go all out here, no one would interfere, it was time to make a move.

With a graceful strut Elise made her way back into the hallway, right into the line of sight of the new intruder, hands on her hips, staring into their eyes, "quite rude to enter through a window, you could have just knocked you know". Her face entertained a small smirk, but through the act she was busy at work dressing down the women who had came in, her first assumption of them being some sort of Sith, but she could never be certain. A good scientific mind observed and recorded data before making a conclusion.

[Salis]

As Salis entered the hallway it was but a moment before [member="Elise Ike"] came into view, Salis didn't take any time to waste, ignoring the fact that she often didn't use her abilities when doing her work, she flicked a finger sending a Stun Pearl from a pouch which flew overhead intending for the pearl to detonate and stun the woman with it's three meter Radius, and almost immediately firing a stun blast as well from her MK_II_Paladin_blaster_rifle.

​"Unfortunately I'm not here to visit, much as I might like to, I'm just sent to retrieve something." She said, regardless of if the woman fell to either the pearl or the stun blast, she was pretty close so Salis threw the blaster rifle up, and as a result it rolled around her shoulders due to the strap so it was now at her back, letting her pull unlatch the pouch that contained her lightsaber behind her, just in case she needed it.

Had Salis felt a little more cruel today, she might have just gone for the kill straight away. But she rather enjoyed taking people down non lethally as well. It had it's own special challenge, and it had a sense of power behind it that she found quite entertaining. She didn't care too much how things went, if she found out the artifact didn't belong to the guy, she'd just end up killing him and taking the money he promised her. If she managed to retrieve it, well, she got her money and succeeded on a mission. One way or another, she got things her way.

Elies watched on with a less then amused look as the women's first attempt was some sort of attack grenade. A simple wave of the hand sent the small round ball over the balcony and downstairs to detonate harmlessly. Something a bounty hunter would do, once again more evidence for her final conclusion to come, it was enough to reasoned herself on guard. Expecting some other sort of projectile the Sith raised a force barrier, just in time for a stun shot to slam into it, defiantly well armed, her actions that of a professionally trained person, interesting.

She kept her defensive stance, hand reaching for her saber, it's red blade shimmering to life as the attacker made her own remark back. "Sorry, but we don't let people borrow the exhibits for personal use, I'll ask you to leave, but if you refuse I'll have to do it by force". A sly smile appearing over her face, ready to strike down the women should she try and resist, maybe make a nice meal form her, been a while since Elise had sunk her vangs into a living being.

With a fight now in full swing Elise made her move, unleashing an opening bolt of lighting against the women before advancing in a quick dueling stance, putting her form 2 style into use, opening up with a back hand left swing that went into a fast thrust towards her pelvis. A one hit kill against unexplained fighters if it hit it's mark, such an attack would burn through their body and spin, making them unable to stand and leading to a quick bleed out.

[member="Salis"]

 

[Salis]

Ah screw it. She thought disgruntled at the fact both had failed, but at the same time, she watched the force wall, watched the blade in her hand. And a smile formed on her face, her own lightsaber came into hand, properly, her body moved to a more crouched position and her rifle slipped off her shoulders as one blade ignited of the weapon and she entered an Ataru stance, "I invite you to try." she said with a smile under the mask.

She caught the lightning with her blade and then as Elise came forwards activated the other turning the weapon so the lower blade glanced off Elise's backhand, and almost immediately Salis brought the upper blade that had been used to catch the lightning back down to attempt to strike at the woman's shoulder spinning the weapon and intending to keep it up to make repeated hits rather then one powerful one, as a bit of a quiet laugh emerged from Salis, a fight! She loved to fight! It was what she was good at, what she specialized at, the ability to kill. Regardless of if she succeeded, she was going to enjoy herself.

The fact the woman could use force lightning was a sign, something both good and bad. In both cases the reason why it was either, was because it meant she'd be more of a challenge.

[member="Elise Ike"]

 

[Elise Ike]

A saber staff, interesting choice of weapon, often one used by assassins back in her days, but times changed, still it would make sense for her opponent to be one in such business. The line of thinking had to be cut short as the other end of said staff came down towards her shoulder, Elise twisting her blade a bit so the phick knuckle duster on her hilt caught the attack, blocking it from landing the blow. Fast and strong, probably an Ataru users, most saber staff people were, interesting but not unbeatable, her own moves keeping on a defensive, her blade dancing between each hit in the fluid manner brought on by her second form, not blocking but simple parries.

"So some Sith has learned of me and sent a servant of some sorts"? She questioned, putting distance between her and the intruder, blade still raised to intercept any more attacks. "Or are you just some rouge assassin looking to make some quick cash, not a lot of force users that use blaster and stun tech so easily". The women's initial volley from the rifle right after the small grenade as evidence of her skilled training, this wasn't the first time they had done this.

She awaited a reply, in that time her free hands conjuring a small ball of dark energy at the finger tips, Elise keeping it hidden best she could before lashing out, sending a force fear strike into the women's mind, attempting to gain the upper hand through her force powers. It was her strong point after all, its effects though would be unknown, other Sith weren't exactly known for having many exploitable fears.

[Salis]

The woman was doing good deflecting the attacks, and it was soon discovered her hilt was resistant to a lightsaber blade. That made things more troublesome. The woman spoke, well, she not totally far off. "Just some guy claiming you have an artifact of his. I figured it'd be fun, I was right." she said in a joyful tone, she had spent her whole life killing people, it was why she could manage so many different weapons.

And then she slammed a hand into the wall, her head, her mind, something was wrong. Slips and pieces of moments of fear, "What the kriff." She muttered, she didn't fear much, she had spent her whole life being the thing others could fear. And when she became a Sith, she embraced the pain and the dark emotions, it was why her very appearance had changed her pale and scarred. Presumably, this had to be the woman, but she'd gotten in pretty quickly. She reached out with anger now, she wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel. Attempting to make her feel fear, but regardless, she didn't like it. It was disorienting, but she had to focus, try and push it out so that she didn't get taken out by a surprise attack while she was preoccupied with these strange mind games. She'd have love to make a snarky reply, but it was more important she release the hold on her mind first.

She focused, and in a moment the phrik blades on her belt shot towards [member="Elise Ike"] pushed by Salis's use of the force. She had developed a technique with the blades to use them in lightsaber combat using the force, but right now it was just going to have to work offensively against the woman. She imagined she could find some way to deflect them, but in doing so it would likely distract her from her mind games and give Salis a chance to fully shut it down and retaliate.

 

[Elise Ike]

Most Sith she knew had some fear, mostly from their childhood, it was a shot in the dark but it would seem her attack on the masked intruder did not work to it's full effect. At the very least such an attack gave plenty of time to work in another strategy, her opponent wasn't the only one who knew a good deal of stealth, it was time to put more of that home advantage to use, Elise quickly retreating from the women and her oncoming attacks, diving back around the nearby corner, but not before cloaking her presence, the women's body shimming out of view from the naked eye.

An action she was able to perform just in time, the small blades thrown towards her just nicking the women's arm, drawing blood from the lacerations, forcing Elise to clutch her left arm. Such cuts would heal quickly, but she didn't have time to hide and wait, the longer this women stayed in her house the closer she got to her goal and learned to adapt to the force attacks. "You have skills that I've not seen in quite a while, you specalize in taking on force users"? Her voice echoing through the halls with no real determinable, attempting to mask her presence she she walked the long way around, sneaking behind the women, readying up another force attack to use.

With the women's dark armor in sight once more Elise dropped the cloaking, mouth opening to unleash a deafening force scream down the enclosed hallway, it use to disorientate an enemy as well as blow them over, similar to a force push.

[member="Salis"]

 

[Salis]

The woman escaped, which to Salis gave her the chance to push back, she grabbed her own wrist and wrenched, causing it to nearly sprain but also allowing her to focus on the pain, as minor as it was, using it to fuel her mind against the fear and shoving back against the power, she breathed in her weapon deactivating. She used a regular activation and deactivation technique, and so keeping it off was the best choice. More ways of attacking like that.

She, saw blood on the ground, but couldn't sense the woman. She did hear her speaking, giving a compliment, but couldn't track the voice. Fascinating, truly. "I specialize in killing individuals, Sith Lords, mercenaries, soldiers, doesn't really matter, almost everyone can die and I enjoy every second of the challenge getting there." ​she responded, though while she spoke, she was paying attention to something else, calling the phrik daggers back to her, and holding up her left hand, the daggers beginning to whirl around her almost erratically. In truth, an attempt to prevent up close attacks.

The former sith began to walk forwards, but Elise had made it behind her, just as she dropped the cloaking she caught a glimpse of the woman. Not in time, however, to set up a proper defense as the force scream hit her. She got thrown backwards, her head felt like it was being pierced on all sides as she slammed into a wall, she gripped the ground as the phrik daggers fell the pain running through her head, a good attack. She still felt lopsided and couldn't stand upright, but still, she let out a laugh, "Oh yeah, I'm enjoying this, mmmm, pain, struggle, learn. Nothing pleases me more. You seem to have techniques I don't, I'm growing ever more curios."

As she spoke, she lifted her left hand, sending the daggers at the woman followed by force lightning, this woman was powerful. And she had useful skills that Salis had not learned, she was beginning to be quite intrigued by it, but at the same time, she wanted to see just how far she could go. She still had a few tricks up her sleeve, mainly, force destruction. A wonderful ability she liked using to make an entrance or an exit. Something she'd used before due to its incredibly destructive capacity when she was faced with another individual who was probably more powerful then her.

[Elise Ike]

There were several jokes she could make about the women 'liking' this, "quite the masochist I see, seems Sith have sunk even lower since I last checked". True be told there were always some messed up people on the dark side, but this one was certainly a fresh face. Just a reminder she needed to get out more, the galaxy was ever changing, it was also more encouragement to get this fight under wraps, can go out and have fun when someone is trying to kill you.

Elise raised her hand, blocking the knifes via telekinetic, but had to drop them as soon as the onslaught of lighting came, it was powerful that much for sure. It blasted into her body with good force, almost knocking her down, pain she had not felt in year suddenly running through her body. Kudos would have to be given, few people had managed to hurt her besides grandmother, but that did not mean the fight was over. With loud grunt and firm food forwards Elise hands began to absorbed soon blocking the lighting, gathering the energy into a ball. With a mighty yell she pushed back hard, hoping to throw the reminder of the women's lighting back at her in a pent up and forceful ball.

[member="Salis"]

 

[Salis]

Salis only grinned at the mention of masochism, she knew exactly whether she was or wasn't was questionable. She chose to relish pain, it made one stronger. And that was something she did enjoy. The woman blocked the knives with ease but the lightning managed to hit, her which caused Salis to laugh in turn, even as the woman managed to start catching it, Salis's first thought was Tutaminis. Not something she personally employed much but she really didn't use many defensive techniques in the first place.

Still, the time it took was just long enough for her to began her ascent to standing again, but the woman had gone a bit further, forming it into a ball. Salis breathed in and leapt to the side, lopsided and as a result slamming into a wall, but the lightning did nevertheless miss her at least. She chuckled again to herself, rather then bothering to get up, she throw herself to the side again into a wall. She could stand at least now, legs spread apart and in a crouch to remain upright, her head was still a bit wobbly. "You're fun! Who are you, and where'd you learn those neat tricks?" she asked in a, quite genuinely, friendly tone. In spite of the fact that the moment after this she began to approach, she had a technique that had proven most dangerous before but she wasn't sure she wanted to use it or not. Instead she was preparing herself defensively, while holding her saber in her hand, not activated still. She liked leaving it unactivated until necessary.

Salis fought regularly, including force sensitives in the past, many Sith. Still, it was relatively rare to be truly in danger. Her biggest disadvantage was stamina, and a lack of using abilities such as Tutaminis for defensive purposes very often, preferring to dodge, or push back with even more force. But she rarely did a full on force battle, and as of yet, they'd only barely interchanged blades.

She really didn't care if she killed the woman or not, it was the joy of the fight that gave her the thrill.

[member="Elise Ike"]

 

[Elise Ike]

Elise was unable to see but she swore the women was smiling, something about Sith and certain situations always seemed to make them gleeful. Maybe not so much if the situations were the other way around but from her end gut instinct told er the pail haired women was grinning ear to ear. Standing at the ready her eyes kept focus on the Sith as they started to regain a sense of balance, the fight so far being quite... one sided if she had to say the least, though for all Elise knew her opponent was holding back, the hadn't even draw their saber yet.

Her expression kept a clam look as words once again flew, Elise rolling her eyes a little, once again an expected question from most Sith she had faced in the past. "You ain't bad yourself, not many force users that are good with other weapons, you certainly prepare for eveything". "As for my skill? training, lost and lost of training, and just as much combat experience, when you get to be over 3000 you learn quite a few things about fighting and force powers". She wasn't one to usually give her age away, but this intruder knew she was a Sith, no point if hiding much else, always best to be open with someone you are trying to kill, makes the fight more... personal.

"I guess introductions are in order, I go by the name Elise Dixon, but since we are in this position perhaps Darth Illiari would be better don't you think". A title she had not used in a while, one gained within her family underworld empire, would probably piss of some Sith Empire loyalist if ever met one."Now, you know a bit about me, how about you? I'd prefer to have a sense of who I'm about to kill, well maybe not, perhaps I'll turn you into a servant, you certainly have the strength to be an ideal one and it's been a while since my fangs have sunken into some fresh flesh, ".

[member="Salis"]

 

[Salis]

Salis cocked her head at the mention of the romans age, she didn't look like it. Some type of species perhaps? Like an Anzati maybe, she'd heard they could live very extended lives by feeding on others brains. And it was certainly something a sith would do. Or perhaps it was a technique she was using, like essence transfer. Which could also explain the lack of visible changes. An idea she had somewhat ventured in herself. Fascinating. The woman introduced herself and especially mentioned her sith name.

And then proceeded to inquire about Salis, mentioning she was either about to kill her or turn her into a servant. And then came another informative statement

been a while since my fangs have sunken into some fresh flesh, ".

Well it took anzati out of the picture, probably, they were usually addicted. But she was something, she had fangs apparently. Unless it was a figure of speech? Perhaps this was too much thought, there was fun to be had!

"You're welcome to try," Salis said, she was preparing it now, not at the absolute strength, but even if she missed, it had it's value. Force Destruction, she had a hand clenched, and took very slow steps forwards just to appear like she was going for close combat, she hoped the woman was too distracted by their discussion and her closing slowly to notice the way in which she was using the force. But if she did, she was interested to see how the woman would react. Already she'd proven she was most likely more powerful overall, and experienced, which meant Salis was relying on pure skill and natural killing talent, "Salis Marai, pleasure to meet you! Really, it is, Darth Illiari. I ran into a few, got a little boring sticking around though, I stopped growing. Who'd have thought right? But you're fun, feel like I could get more out of you, depends on how this goes huh?"

As she finished her hilt went to her side while both hands came up and Force Destruction formed more visible in-between her hands, she giggled and let it loose. It was not the most powerful version she'd used, she didn't want to destroy the house, but it still carried a lot of power behind it, even if she missed the lady if it hit it would send the same dark side destructive energy out. The last time she'd actually pushed it was when she fought Orex Mauda, she missed, but the explosion threw him and let her help a friend escape.

Of course, it had it's downside in that it did tire her out. She could only do it a few times and did already feel it's drain on her, which was part of why she didn't go all out with it. But it was still more powerful then most Force Bursts.


[member="Elise Ike"]

 

[Elise Ike]

Elise smirked, focusing her attention back on the women, "do or do not, there is no try child", grinning ear to ear as she once again got into her form 2 stance, keeping an ear out for the women as she replied. "Salis Marai, I will have to keep that name in mind, no one has given me so much fun in ages". She was eager to see what this girl could do, their fight far from over, her head turning to the side to see the onrush of a force energy was launched towards her.

Her own hands spread out, a force barrier forming as the wave of destruction slammed into her, floor boards buckling and cracking under the stress. A final crack and her shield giving way sent the women down into the lower level, landing upright, saber pointed the Salis, "why why, you are certainly more skilled then I gave you credit for, but I won't hold back then".

Reaching out her own hands glowed in dark energy, a lighting like arc coming from her palm, but it wasn't the harmful purple zapping, it was force drain. Elise intended to weaken her target before going in for a final strike, this girl was much to skilled to take chances, and much to valuable to risk killing with other methods.

[member="Salis"]

 

[Salis]

Salis shrugged at the comment of trying, and chuckled again as the woman mentioned the fun, "Happy times all around!" She added.

Hm, the woman blocked it, well, most of it at least. She looked to see the woman had fallen through the floor and smiled at her as the woman said she wouldn't hold back, then activating both blades of her saber, "Sounds lovely," she said gleefully, and then, force drain. Shoot.​ she immediately thought, that wasn't so easy to block as it got to her pulling on her energy, she was already exhausted, that was incredibly poor timing. She felt it pull on her and she dropped to her knees trying to think fast as Elise pulled, so with the energy remaining she heaved her hand up and yanked, pulling on the woman with the force using one hand as she pulled out a handful of Stun pulls the pins all coming out at once and launching them forwards.

Regardless of the result, that was her best chance here, Force Drain was not something that Salis had had to deal with too many times and didn't possess it herself as of yet at least. So her best chance against it was to knock them out with her. She was well aware that with as many as she threw she would be inevitably caught in the result, so her best hope was that, even if she got the woman, Salis would wake up first.

[Elise Ike]

An evil smile washed over Elise as the girl was brought down on her knees, this move was a powerful one, very few people could use it, let alone had her mastery. Such a skill was second nature to vampires, they had control over it at birth, all but via a bite, though over time she could manifest it through the force.

​Elise expected the women to run away, of try something to distract her from the current task at hand, not pull her. It was an odd move, Elise almost going with the leap, raising her saber to deliver a disabling blow of some sort only to suddenly find several of those stun devices coming at her. The resounding explosion crippled her sensors, sight going with, ears ringing mind buzzing before eveything went black.

She was unsure of how much time had passed since the attack, Elise rising from the ground, her body still on the first floor, clothes tattered and dirty. With and outstretched hand her saber came back, a small force push making Elise stand once again... well more stumble, all that mattered was that she was upright.

"... this place is a mess, but more importantly, is she still here", the women's eyes glancing around, trying to find the intruder.

[member="Salis"]

 

[Salis]

Salis's eyes fluttered open and she clutched her head, she was exhausted beyond measure but, the woman was still out, thank goodness. She quickly grabbed her rifle and headed for the window but stopped and turned around, well...that hadn't lasted quite long enough. [member="Elise Ike"] was already returning, Salis didn't feel like trying to kill her now, she was far too fun for that.

"Darth Illiari, maybe we can meet again sometime, boy did I have fun!" she said tossing a communicator across the floor built in so that it could call the mercenary, she'd done that often, always keeping comm links specifically designed for purposes like that. And she wanted to meet this one again, though not necessarily to kill each other, it was still an option, "Gotta scram."

She pushed out the window and leap off rushing towards her ship, ordering the Police droid to take off. She was going to investigate her client about this. Of course, she wouldn't give him any information about the woman just in case he didn't know. But she had much more doubts about his ownership now then the vague uncaring before.

She would have loved to stay and chat, or fight, or whatever, but she was still immensely exhausted and not totally upright from the fight and the stunning. Not the most pleasant conditions to play in. Disorientation is completely different from pain, which she was quite willing to endure.
