Carliah stayed very still for a few moments before looking up at him. Something about her seemed different this time though, she didn't seem like the Mad Queen anymore. It was like looking at the past, like she had reverted back to the girl Yusan had met in the alleys of Coruscant so long ago. "I refuse to accept that. I always believed there was no solution to getting away from my father. I thought there was no solution to getting out of Darth Vornskr's dungeon. I can give you countless scenarios where I thought there would be no possible hope of ever being able to overcome them, but if there is one thing I have learned in the crazy, twisted, karked up thing that I have been forced to call a life... It is that no problem is without a solution. You may not be able to find a solution that benefits everyone, you may not find one that can be carried out without danger, or one that results in immediate happiness, but there is always a solution. I don't give a damn how hard I have to fight to reverse the damage I have done. I will find a way out of this, for all of us, and I will dedicate the rest of my life to atoning for whatever sins I have committed if that is what it takes to prevent myself from losing everything that I hold dear. I love you Yusan, and I love my family. There is nothing I would not do to have all of you by my side each day. So you can help me... Or you can let me figure something out on my own, but one way or another I will fix this." Carliah never once dropped her gaze from his as she spoke. She pushed herself up off the floor and smiled, though this smile was the same mad smirk she usually wore, it had a hint of something else behind it. "I may never be fully sane again, but I'm done letting my madness control me. I will not be a pawn in the Sith's game anymore." [member="Yusan Fenn"]

He smiled and stood as she finished her speech. With a careful glance over her face he simply rose his hand and brushed aside her hair before smiling again and kissing her forehead. "Well, just make sure to warn me Carliah... i do not want to lose you." He sighed and leaned against her forehead against her, saying nothing and just standing there as he looped his hands behind her and hugged her tight. For a few moments he would hold her there, even if she didn't want to he would try to just hold onto her and not want her to go for now while he stood there. "I love you too Carliah... Its good to see you again."

Carliah smiled and leaned against him, her own arms wrapping around him and holding him close to her. She had no intentions of moving for a long time. She even giggled a bit as he kissed her forehead. After a few moments she glanced up at him, standing up on the tips of her toes and kissing him gently on the lips. She had a plan already forming in her mind. "I think I know what we need to do, you won't like it, but it's the best idea I have and I need your help to pull it off," She explained as she pulled away from the short kiss.

"You know, thats what i tell people when its usually a suicide mission that i can't do alone. What are you planning Carliah?" He looked at her as she pulled away and couldn't help himself but stare for a moment before running a hand through her hair again and thinking to himself about how fast he would have to shoot down the plan he had a feeling was coming. If it was a plan he would not like it involved a number of things and needing someone else to help her would only make things worse in the end.

"I have an... acquaintance named Tugoro... Who was a friend of yours or something... If I can arrange for him to come 'fight' me, then he could kill me as revenge for killing you. We could have whoever put your soul in that amulet preserve my own soul in a similar fashion until you and the kids make it to the Vitae. Once we're all safe, I get transferred to a new body. As far as the Sith are concerned I'm dead because someone wanted revenge on me, and me, you, and the kids will be safe among the Vitae. I'm fairly certain I can convince the leader to go along with my plan. Just tell me how to contact whoever sent me your soul, and let me speak to Tugoro. It's the only plan we have that may actually work right now." [member="Yusan Fenn"]

He listened, he was right but he listened and nodded as he pulled her back down to sit down. He smiled at her and thought about it before speaking. "irce Savan was the one that i had help me. Im sure she would more than happy to help you but i am sure things will go over fine in the end." It was clear though behind his eyes that he hated the plan with every ounce of his very being as it was something that he could not stop from thinking to himself.

"I can't remain a Sith... I never intended to follow this path forever. Yusan I know you hate it. I can see it in your eyes. You want nothing to do with this plan, but it is the best option I have. I need to do this. The only part you would have to play... Is getting the kids out of here when I have transport for all of you arranged. You don't have to do anything... You wont even have to witness the bloodshed. If you don't want too, you don't have to see the result until I'm already in a new body. I need to do this Yusan. Please, tell me you'll support me," Carliah practically begged as she sat back down with him. [member="Yusan Fenn"]

He sighed and looked to the side as he held her close to him. He was completely silent and said nothing with his eyes staring down at the ground again before finally speaking and looking at her with sad eyes. "I don't even want to think of someone hurting you but i will support your plan. It doesn't mean im happy about it though as id rather no one harmed you ever again Carliah..." He sighed and leaned his head into her neck as she sat beside him. "Just promise me your plan will work."

 

[Carliah Dakrone]

"I promise it will. Everything will be fine. After this we'll be safe... Safer than we've been for awhile... And I won't ever have to get hurt like this again. If you want... You can pick the body I'm put in... Though I'd prefer to be a Miraluka still. Suddenly having eyes would feel strange." Carliah smiled a bit at the last part of her statement, meaning it as a joke to lighten the mood, though it was true she wanted to remain a Miraluka. [member="Yusan Fenn"]

"You sure, i could teach you what colors are, and you could stop having to rely on me to pick out your dresses for you because you know if i wasn't around you would look like a moron at times. No offense but you kind of are naturally color blind so you tend to pick out something with weird colors when im not around and it makes you look weird. Not that you aren't weird as it was in the beginning." He smiled as he tugged at her dress for a moment as if to say her dress made her look weird and he couldn't help it but smile that he had her back.

 

[Carliah Dakrone]

"Colors? You know I have always been curious about what a 'color' is... How do they work? What do they look like? And being able to dress myself may be nice..." She thought about it seriously for a few moments before turning to him. "I only knew they messed up the roses because of the wet paint on the flowers." She added as she continued to think, leaning against him and waiting for him to say something else. [member="Yusan Fenn"]

"It was kind of stupid for them to do that considering you are literally color blind, hell i could have told you they were red and you never would have known the difference and all would be fine." He made sure to mark that down so that he could tell the guards and servants not to attempt to hide anything involving the color of something. Carliah couldn't see colors after all and it would save lives if they just pretended that the colors that she thought were what they were happened to be such. "You know Carliah, i could go along with this plan... just stop killing people over colors please."

"But it's so much fun! You really should try it sometime!" she joked. It was obviously in poor taste but her insanity kept her from realizing such and so she often made very, very terrible jokes, especially regarding the lives of others. She leaned against Yusan and smiled a bit, happy to just be near him. He had agreed to go along with her plan, which meant that soon she would no longer have to worry about anyone finding out about their romance. [member="Yusan Fenn"]
