Reality is an illusion...

[Nima Tann]

She got shocked yet again as the woman bent down and give her a kiss, she had that awkward smile and laugh as her lips touched her cheek which was red since she was pretty embarassed with all this, she was pretty relieved as the kiss ended before it got all awkward. Hell, it was pretty awkward already, she didn't need it more. Thinking about the evening... she sighed, it was going to be a disaster, she could see, she could see and regret it when she realized that she invited the predator to a prey party. Yet, she was strong. She had the control in all this, they were going to eat their meal, she was going to tell her thank you, and the evening was going to go in a friendly way as she planned... as she hoped. "Uhh yeah... Great!" She said, because not speaking would be very rude, or Sio would get the wrong impression from that.

"It's not exactly my place, but since the one using it is missing, it makes the house mine for now, I guess." She wouldn't normally make jokes about the disappearance of her stepfather, well, it wasn't that of a joke actually, just telling some facts to the woman. "It's... uhh... pretty near actually. Just walk towards the Temple until you see the big fountain and turn left from there and walk a bit, then you'll see my stepfather's home. It's the small one between the Temple structures." She smiled then, oh... there was one more thing she wanted to ask the woman before she departed for the preperations. "Aand... Any specific drink or meal you want me to prepare for you?" She asked, yet she could imagine what she would want for a drink, if she got to know the Master even a little bit.

She was still thinking about that kiss as the quietness continued. Was it a friendly one, or was it "I want to make out with you" kinda one? Or was it just her thinking about something wandering in her mind that she shouldn't think about? Well... she shook her head, to clear the thoughts. No dirty thoughts were allowed in the girl's mind.

This will either be extremely awkward or extremely fun. Maybe both, Siobhan thought to herself. It seemed apparent to her that she could not simply charm Nima into bed. Not with the mountain of baggage the poor girl seemed to have. But a Mistress of the Order of the Torch was always there to help.


"Steak or sausages would be nice, but I'm flexible, dear. Sure you'll make something nice. And some wine," she flashed Nima a charming smile. Well, Siobhan thought it was charming. Giving the Twi'lek a pat on the shoulder she turned away. "It's a date then. See you later, sweetie," she said in her warmest tone, then limped away. Wait, where did Siobhan stay while she was on Voss? It's not like she was a Jedi. Presumably she had a hotel room somewhere. Presumably the somewhat annoying natives of this planet had hotels.

 

[Nima Tann]

Wine? Why wasn't she surprised? She knew that the woman was coming for the kill and this little dinner she had planned for them was a perfect chance for it. So, she just took a deep breath, and hoped that things would go well and friendly this evening. If she managed to get out of this, then she was capable of doing anything. Yet, she wasn't going to let herself drink any alcohol, since alcohol always made her do things she would regret and this was one of the evenings that she didn't want to do anything she was going to regret. Yes, she had low tolerance for it and even a glass of wine would make her head spin around uncontrolabbly. Yet she wasn't going to lie, steak and wine were a good combination for a dinner. Was that the last efforts of a gazelle trying to run away from a cheetah, she was about to find out. Now, there was one more question that was bugging her mind, what should she wear for this nightmare of a dinner.

Siobhan was already thinking it was a date, which wasn't... obviously, and she had to prepare the mood as friendly as possible for it to not turn into a date. "See you!" She said, being as casual as ever and trying to sound not that rude for that... smile. That smile though... Wait wait wait, she wasn't attracted by it, right? She watched her go as she sighed awkwardly, at least she had hours of clearing her mind before her arrival, and work would keep her company and make her not think about today and what happened. So, she slowly rode her wheelchair towards her home sweet home, already regretting this decision.

As she arrived home, she started for preparations already since she had only a little time until evening again. She was letting herself get carried away easily again, girl knew her emotions, but never had the chance to control them. She called for her caretaker, a good friend from the Temple to help her since she was handicapped and there were a lot of jobs to do. First, she started with the steak, luckily she had a good ton of them already since it was Ice's favorite dinner too, so she was just going to prepare them and make them look like decent meal, not a big deal since she was a bit of a master in kitchen since she was her own cook for all those years. Firstly she started with pouring an amount of salt and pepper to the all sides of the steak for it to season as she put the pan to oven to heat it before putting the steak, and after the process is done she put the steak to the newly-heated pan, and waited as the one side of the steak completely turned brown. The smell was already great, mixing up with the meat and the spice.

As it continued to cook with its own fat, since it was healthier this way, she turned the steak to the other side to let it cook there too. Waiting a few minutes, the steak was done cooking so she took it to the cutting board, and let it rest for a couple of minutes before starting to cut it. So she went to the living room to prepare the table. She placed the white tablecloth that she liked, and placed the plates, one for Siobhan, and one for herself, opposite of where the woman is sitting. The table was small enough, and she didn't want to be all near to her, since it would be awkward. After perfecting everything, she placed the spoons, knives and the forks and the glasses to their places, they had their own places according to meal rules, and she wanted everything to be perfect for her visitor. She was a perfectionist from her stepfather, yet she was excited for some reason for this dinner. Why was she even excited?!?

The dinner table was set after she put the candles, not the romantic ones! , there were no signs of romance in this presentation. Everything looked casual, great! The table was off to go! And also, she opened a good classical music for them to listen, nothing was great without a bit touch from the instrumental. She returned to the kitchen, the steak was rested already, so she started to cut them into pieces, not so small or not so large. A perfect middle sized steak was ready to serve, she put them into smaller plates and decorated it with some green and the sauce, then placed the smaller plates to the bigger ones she just placed. It looked sweet. That put a good smile on her face. This time not from that dirty thoughts, but the thoughts of perfectionism got into her head. Then she placed the side meals, some fruits, salad, that kind of stuff. And she placed the Mandalorian red wine, she didn't know why she was keeping wine in her house being a no-drinker, to the middle, yet for herself, there was the blue milk. Of course, it was all thanks to her caretaker who helped her in the background since as a handicapped woman she couldn't do everything.

Okay... Everything was ready. Sweat was dropping from her face, so she realized that it was she who wasn't ready for this. She took a quick shower, then it was the worst part. What to wear? She called her caretaker again since she couldn't decide. She was already giving her the dirty looks. "It is not... something like that! I am just preparing it for a friend!" She said, trying to explain herself, yet she was right for giving her the looks since no one would care this much for a friendly dinner. She was the perfectionist, right? It WAS normal! She took out her everyday clothes after taking the suggestion of her friend, not very helpful at all. It was the white crop top and black sports shorts, with the help of her caretaker she wore them. Aside from the crop top being a bit small and revealing just a bit, she looked like a casual girl with this outfit. Perfect!

Everything was ready, Ice had his dog bowl full. Dinner table, outfit, music... And she started to wait for the woman to show up right now. As the seconds pass she started to feel more and more excited and scared since she didn't even know how was this little dinner going to work out. Breathe in, breathe out. Ice came towards the girl, rubbing his head to her wheelchair, even the wolf understood how excited she was, well, she started to pet his head and started to wait. Everything is going to be okay. Everything's going to be okay!

In stark contrast to Nima, Siobhan's next couple hours were very relaxing. Once she had returned to her hotel suite she spent some time lazing around in a nice bubble bath. One of her maidens had been so kind to run it for her - and then because Siobhan believed it would be cruel to use it all up on her own, she invited the aforementioned maiden to share it with her! After much fun had been had the Countess dealt with some paperwork that came with running a big corporation, then went to bed for a bit.


After all, facing illusionary horrors had been sort of tiring for her, so she felt she deserved some rest. It was not at all because she was not as young as she used to be and needed a nap sometimes. Time passed and then Siobhan was busy rummaging through her closet. You see, one of the problems with being a fashionista was that you had some many fancy clothes to choose from! A sexy dress did not seem suitable and might send the wrong message. So after giving it some thought Siobhan finally made the decision to stick with the classics, playing to what she believed to ber her strengths. Having finally chosen something, she had her nails done and got a manicure.


So when she stood before the door to Nima's place, she was dressed in a purple silk blouse, the material hugging her waist while at the same time accentuating her voluptous bosom. Her toned, but deeply scarred legs were clad in a pair of hip-hugging black leather pants. The sleek leather proved very flattering for her curves. Finally her feet were tucked into a pair of leather boots. Her firemane fell down her shoulders. If this writer is spending too much time on describing her appearance, then this is purely because the character they're writing is terribly vain. Regardless, with a bright smile on her face, she rang the doorbell.

 

[Nima Tann]

The doorbell rang as she continued to pet the dog and wait for this evening to start. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. Here we go. She thought to herself as she rode her wheelchair towards the door to open and let her guest in, she looked at her preparations one more time, table, check. Regular clothes, check. Steak still pretty hot. Wine was at the middle of the table. Okay, everything was okay. Her heartbeat was increasing as she continued to get near to the door. Yet, Ice was already there barking and wagging his tail. She thought that since he knew the woman already from the Ziost, he was excited like this. Yet she didn't know that if Siobhan liked the dogs or not, she didn't want to ruin the day for her. "Ice, sit down." She said in a commanding voice. The wolf obeyed, yet the wagging continued. He looked very cute, all excited like that.

She opened the door at last, seeing the woman standing right in the doorway. Wow, she wasn't going to lie that Siobhan looked good in all that leather, hell, she looked great... Stop it! She realized soon enough that she examined her a bit longer than she would like to, taking all the view without even noticing. Force, evening started with her being awkward yet again. Then, finally stepping out of it she shook her head and talked, placing a smile just at the right time to be charming and friendly at the same time to save this little situation she was in. "You need to tell me where did you get the leather. I love it." She said. A good save, maybe, she was about to find out.

Then, she opened the door a bit more, and smiled towards the woman. "Welcome to my little cozy relaxing place." She continued to smile and nodded happily, never lose the smile. "Please come in." Ice was barking again, trying to get attention to himself. By the Force, he was going to do it, wasn't he? She knew Ice, if he liked something or someone, he wouldn't listen to any commands until he got what he wanted. Yes, it was a great start to the evening as the wolf run towards them fast like a cheetah, his tongue hanging out of his mouth and it looked like he was happy to see her again.

Siobhan grinned very broadly when she saw Nima and how she responded to her. She smiled as she stepped inside and there was no doubt that she was oggling the beautiful Twi'lek. After all, a crop top and shorts meant that there was...plenty of skin of appreciate.


"Thank you, darling. Nice place you got here. You look great." Somehow despite the limp and cane she managed to saunter inside, which might have given Nima a good view of her tight butt. "By the way, Nima, I don't mind you checking me out at all. If I did, I wouldn't have come dressed like this. I bought the leather at The Lady's Haven. Eldorai shop. I could take you shopping some day," she said sweetly. The look she gave Nima showed that she knew exactly where the woman's eyes had been.


However, then Siobhan found something else to focus on other than teasing Nima because suddenly she heard barking and then a big white wolf appeared. "Oh, he's so cute. It's a boy right? What's his name? That's the wolf who helped you on Ziost?" she asked, sounding very happy when he suddenly rushed towards them. Now that she thought about it, she did remember a big wolf guarding Nima while she was out of it.

 

[Nima Tann]

She gave a little smile as the woman complimented her appearance, yet the looks she was giving to her was almost a predator examining her prey before attacking, yet the more disturbing thing was she didn't even complain about it. She was liking the attention, the attention she was seeking for a long time, it was just she didn't expect to find it from a woman. She never thought that she liked the women that way, yet Siobhan had that persuasive body and the speech to convert anyone, or she found the right keys to open the cage of the monster inside Nima, she didn't know. Yet, she resisted still. It was her move, every time, when she was pretty near to find happiness she always pushed herself from it. She didn't know why she was resisting the thoughts though, yes, in all her life she liked men, yet now these thoughts were pretty new to her, which led to confusion. That was why probably.

"I... I wasn't!... I mean... I don't mind... about... going shopping. I love shopping!" She gulped and said in embarassment and awkwardness as the woman said that Nima was checking her out. She was. Why was she trying to lie to herself? And, Siobhan got herself another date. Nima started to think that she was doing that on purpose to be with her more. Great! Yet she collected herself quickly, she wasn't going to give up the act yet. Besides, her best friend and little boy Ice was there to save the day again taking all the attention away from the poor girl struggling to talk. Giving a small nod as a thank you to her wolf, she was happy to see that Siobhan liked the wolf as well, she was almost about to freak out as the wolf run towards them and ruin this perfect dinner she prepared for them.

"Yeah, his name is Ice." She smiled, and didn't realize that her voice took a motherly tone as she was talking about him. "Me and my sister,Tadi'etti, found him in Endor almost 3 years ago. He was so weak and little back then, poor boy. But look at him now!" She said sighing, thinking about her sister and all the years that passed like, pretty fast. Where was her sister now, she didn't know. She went to look for their parents, yet Nima didn't hear any news about her since. "He was the one that saved me in Ziost. Fetched me some healers when I was about to die. I owe him one. " She said, patting the wolf's head. Yet Ice wasn't interested in her right now, he was rubbing his head to the woman's legs, wanting her to pet him and the tail never stopped moving left and right. "I think he missed you. You two met each other while I was out?" She said, giggling.

"Excellent, it's a date then. Sure we'll find some stuff that will look wonderful on you, dear. Got to show off that beautiful body of yours, after all," Siobhan said with a wink. She left out the fact that the backroom of The Lady's Haven offered some...special services for special clients!


Then shefocused on the wolf, who seemed to be demanding attention. He was so adorable! "Ice? That's a nice name. What a brave boy. Glad he was there to help you," she spoke happily, affectionately patting the wolf's head and giving him a bright smile. "You're a good boy, aren't you, Ice? So glad you could save your mistress." There was genuine affection in her voice as she spoke, for she was very fond of animals and it showed.

 

[Nima Tann]

She could see that her cheeks were burning with embarassment as she continued complimenting her body, hell, why was she so good at talking? And as she expected, she took this little journey of theirs as date. Just as she expected. Yes, she was already giving in to the temptations, and the night didn't even start yet. "I trust your sense of fashion, Sio..." The woman had the great taste, she wasn't going to lie. "But I don't know about showing my body with all that...leather. I mean... it might look good and all but... uhh... I am... kinda insecure about it you know." Insecure about it? You are wearing crop top and sport shorts right now. How is this insecure? Well, they weren't leather at least. She added then, with a sad smile. "Besides, no one is going to see the difference. I don't get out of my house these days except of the mornings." Then a soft laugh followed, by the Force she was suffering from her shy nature. Maybe this was the correct reason, the girl needed action in her life, she needed to become more social. She was losing her friends in the Temple one by one, and if she continued like this... Well, she didn't want to think about it.

Then, she gave the attention to the bonding of Ice and Sio with a smile on her face, they looked cute as Ice tried to get her attention like this, and she understood that Sio liked animals as well from the cute change in her voice when she talked with Ice and patted her head. It was great to see Sio's not-predator side, and she looked even cuter this way. Then, Nima realized that how many "cute"s she used in two sentences. The fact that she was thinking those things about Siobhan was a bit strange for her as well. Hell, she wasn't this awkward when she was with the man she loved. Yet, it wasn't a two sided love, and she didn't even know that Siobhan loved her as well. It might be one of that situations again where she was try-harding for someone that didn't even like her. Yet, there was something in Sio's voice who was proving this theory of hers wrong.

Ice barked happily to the woman's speech, it was like he understood what she was saying. Yet, she wasn't very surprised about it since Ice was indeed a intelligent one, in 3 years he learned everything that could make himself a great asset in the battlefield. "You two look cute together..." And I like it... in a friendly way!!! "People stopped coming to my house because of Ice, they say he is so scary. Can you believe that?" She was an animal lover like Nima, another key to open the cage of her heart to her.

"Nima, darling, look at yourself in the mirror. You have nohing to be insecure about," Siobhan said, tone as sweet as a cat's purr, but firm as she gave the woman a significant look. "And it doesn't all have to be skintight leather, though you'd look fabulous in it. We can get you some nice jeans, skirts, sexy dresses. Oh, and shoes. So many lovely shoes." She could go on about shoes all day.


But then she turned her attention back to Ice. The adorable wolf seemed to be doing a good job of deflecting Siobhan's attention to a degree. So she kept patting the sweet, loyal wolf. "People don't come to your house because of Ice? That's dumb. One would think they'd want to see him. He's so adorable. I daresay he's only dangerous to people who deserve it. Like evil Sithies," she spoke, shaking her head in confusion at the general illogicality of the universe. Siobhan was not in love with Nima, but she was evidently fond of her and, well, wanted to get her between the sheets.

 

[Nima Tann]

She didn't even realize that she had been smiling all the way as the woman continued to boost her self confidence up. Siobhan would probably see the awkward and uncomfortable look of Nima was slowly replaced by a more relaxed one. Siobhan, Siobhan, Siobhan. Where were you when she was all depressed and suffering? She would have helped greatly for all the reasons, she was making her feel good, she had that persuasive looks and tongue, everything. Yet, Nima was still trying her best to keep her out of the walls no matter how she was making her feel like when her stepfather was around, all happy and pampered. "Thank you, Siobhan, really." She said, she was relieved that they didn't need to look for tight leather. Now she felt more comfortable with all the shopping. "You know what, I guess that works better. I don't think I can carry the leather like you do. Yet I can do with the other stuff. Especially shoes! Besides, I need to get out of the Temple, it's making me feel like I am in prison." Sexy dress, she didn't mean that sexy right? Who was she trying to fool, of course she was talking about that sexy. She gave a small wink. Now she was the complimenting one, that would be the proof that she was getting comfortable talking to her.

Before things go awkward with her trying to compliment her around the lines of friendship, she came back to Ice, as the woman's attention still on towards the wolf trying his best to make her pet his head. He didn't like Nima to do that, yet he was rebellious against the poor girl sometimes thinking her as a pack leader. "I know right? I mean, Ice is like a little baby towards the allies. I never saw him hurt anyone besides the enemies. Yet he sometimes tries to jump onto people. That hurts, I tell you." There was a grin on her face. "You know, I don't mind him breaking some people's backs. Especially there's someone special in my mind." She said, giggling. 3 meters and almost 300 kg mutated wolf trying to act like a puppy, now that would end with a disaster. "But I think that's not the only reason. I may be choking people to death with my thoughts sometimes." She laughed again.

"How rude I am, making you speak with me at the door." Then she turned her head towards the living room. "I prepared us a good table, would you like to join me? Let's not make the steaks wait for too long, they'll get cold." The instrumental music continued coming to the doorway as they continued to speak. It helped her relax greatly.

Siobhan flashed Nima a dazzling smile. Well, the Countess thought it was dazzling at least. There was a noticeable limp to her step when she walked. As much as she liked to pretend otherwise, her injuries were not just going to fade away and leave her as young and fit as she had been many years ago.


But the instrumental music seemed to help her relax, for she sound it very soothing. "Aww, thank you, sweetie. I really appreciate you doing all this," she said brightly. As she passed the blue Twi'lek, she innocently reached out with her hand to stroke across her lekku. It was probably not a coincidence that she just happened to touch a spot she knew was very sensitive. After all, a few hours ago she had been massaging the woman's lovely headtails! Looking totally innocent she reached the dining table. With telekinesis she pulled up a chair for Nima, then sat down herself, laying down her cane.

 

[Nima Tann]

Siobhan, except of the coolness and all, was a woman with a lot of injuries like Nima, that was one of the reasons she liked her also. She watched her go limping to the chair she reserved for her, yet... wait a minute. She wasn't going to the chair, she was coming towards her, and seconds later she felt the woman's hands on her lekku, it didn't lose any gentleness at all and also she felt something else... as she continued stroking the lekku and suddenly she felt a shake in her whole body, with the temperature increasing. She lost control in a second and almost let out a moan out of pleasure yet she saved the situation by making it feel like she was clearing her throat. What the kark just happened? The shaking passed seconds later, and she shook her head in embarassment of what she just lived. "Uhh... you... are welcome... Siobhan. My pleasure." Don't use the word "pleasure"! Siobhan knew exactly where she touched to cause this, with all the innocent act Nima could see that clearly. Well played, Sio, well played!

With the shock still effecting her, she carried herself to the chair Sio pulled for her. She wasn't going to lie, the evening was getting better and better, everything was still perfect, she was still in control. Was she? "I hope you like it, the steak ate almost two hours of mine." She laughed to her own joke, then poured the red Mandalorian wine she put at the middle of the table to Sio's glass, and blue milk for herself. No alcohol, since it might make the whole evening the most awkward evening of all time. She was already losing control, and being a low tolerance drinker, so no thanks. She cut a little piece with the knife and took the first bite, she wasn't saying that because she cooked it, but hell it tasted good.

The music continued to fill the room with harmony and peace. "Say, Siobhan." She said, then continued. "I've never seen you around the Temple before, aren't you from around here?" She said, now was the proper time to meet regularly, and she had so many questions to ask to the woman, she wanted to get to know her for some reason, and also silence would make this night boring. She didn't want that. And maybe Sio had some questions to ask the purple Twi'lek also, yet she knew the answer to that questions already. She got her good last time, so Nima needed to be more careful around her if she didn't want to do anything she would regret.

The moan of pleasure did not escape Siobhan. At all. Nor did Nima's attempt to mask it fool her. Suffice to say she was feeling very smug and pleased with herself. "Any time, sweetie. Anything that gives you pleasure," she said innocently. Yep, totally innocent. She happily accepted the wne and took a sip. She tended to prefer Eldorai wine, but this was very good as well and she appreciated the effort Nima had made. "Very nice," she said, giving the Twi'lek a smile while she cut herself a piece of the steak, then took a bite. Romantic...no, wait, harmonious and peaceful music played. She tilted her head slightly when Nima spoke. Now was small talk and get to know each other time. Undoubtedly she would be able to throw in some flirting.


"Nah, not from here. If I'd known there were gourgeous girls like you around here, I would've come here sooner though," she joked. Subtlety, thy name was not Siobhan. "I run my own business, Firemane Industries. Together with my wife, Tegaea. We used to rule the Protectorate back when it worth serving." That was a long time ago before OP closed shop after a long period of not doing anything relevant and decided to go back to being mercenaries. Like, back when they were still cool and op.


"Born in the gutter, fought may up to the top - we both did. Firemane's mostly active in Mandalorian and what used to be Sanctum space. So you can say I'm a migrant," she chuckled slightly. "Way back I was a Jedi, but that's like a different lifetime. I went rogue before it was the cool and trendy thing to do."

 

[Nima Tann]

"I don't... know what you are talking about." She said her cheeks getting red with her innocent look and voice, placing an awkward laugh as it went. Sio didn't take the bait, hell! Yet, she knew that already when she tried to fool her. Siobhan looked experienced in those things so trying to fool her could only make her more entertained with all this. She felt like the predator was slowly walking the prey to her trap, and she was the prey. Yet she continued playing dumb, it was the way of running from her own thoughts as well, no matter how difficult it was. She watched her take a sip from her glass, she looked so great in that dress with all the music coming from the background... No! Shut up! By the Force, the woman was starting to invade her head with all the thoughts. "Uhmm... Glad you liked, Siobhan. I didn't know which wine you preferred, yet I've heard from everyone that Mandalorian wine tasted great for an evening. I am not an alcohol drinker myself though, didn't have the chance to taste it."

And compliments again, if she could survive this night before Siobhan managed to turn the poor, confused girl into a tomato that would be great. "Come on, I am just average. There are people around the Temple more beautiful than me. Have you even tried Master Heavenshield? She's cool." She laughed at her own joke, yet she didn't think Master [member="Coci Heavenshield"] would look at her in that way whatever Siobhan has in mind, but Sio could persuade her some of her ways, she had her ways indeed. Tried? What a poor choice of a word. But better than her complimenting Nima since all this pampering was getting in her head and she wasn't like that. She was used to getting scolded and beaten around. Yet, she wasn't complaining, not at all. She was a ruler once? Cool! And... did she hear something about of a wife? "Looks like you've been through a lot, Siobhan. But I am happy that the fate brought you here. You are like a breath of fresh air." In totally innocent and friendly way.

"So what's she like?" What's she like?!? Of all the questions she could ask: Why did you leave the Jedi, why do you feel as a migrant, are you still ruling somewhere?, it has to be about her wife, hasn't it? She was great at keeping things friendly, really a good one. Well, being all antisocial, she would become awkward like this. "I mean why... how did you... uhh... You got the question." Nima, awkwardest girl of all when it came to relationships.

"Tried, huh?" Siobhan asked, winking at the adorable Twi'lek. "No, actually I haven't. She is cool, but I'm far more interested in you. You're very pretty." Nope, her tone was not that innocent. She reached out with her hand to cover Nima's and give it a gentle squeeze. Totally innocent. Maybe it was just the wine, but she had the feeling it was getting hotter inside the room.


Upon hearing Nima's question, she felt tempted to be trollish and interpret it as the Twi'lek asking about how Tegaea was in bed, but then decided against that. Presumably Nima would get even redder than a tomato once she heard about certain...games. After all, Siobhan was known as Mistress Thuella in certain circles!


"I am glad to have made your acquaintance as well, Nima. I can see you've been through a lot, too. As for your question, I met Tegs when she was still a Republic soldier and I was a Padawan. My master and I got captured by energy vampires on our vacation and tortured. She rescued me and we went on to slaughter the leeches and save my master." This was an accurate but heavily edited recollection. For one, she left out the fact that the vampires had raped her.


"We got close after that...especially after my master died. We were in love, she was everything to me and I had no reason to stay with the Jedi after she gave her life to save me. Tegs recruited me into Omega Pyre. That was back when it was a small paramilitary company. Things...took their own course from then on and we eventually got married. She's a very strong, caring woman. She got where she was without fancy superpowers. Someone I can trust to have my back and do the right thing, who accepts me despite everything."

"Probably... bad choice of words. Sorry!" She said, laughing embarassedly as the woman winked at her. Force, what was happening to her? The whole house seemed like the temperature was increasing slightly, or was that the tomato red cheeks from all the pampering she was getting from Siobhan this evening. Yet the woman didn't run out of moves as she talked once again complimenting her appearance, she was getting cornered and running out of places to hide as the predator continued coming for the kill. Breathe in, breathe out. She felt excited as she reached for Nima's hands and squeezed it gently, she almost felt like her heart was about to come out. She wanted to pull her hand away, yet her body didn't listen to her again, her muscles stopped moving from all the embarassment and the heat of the moment. What heat? Why was she so karking excited like this? Oh Force... She was married, what Nima was thinking right now was... not good, not good at all. "Sio..." She licked her upper lip quickly, she would do that whenever she was stressed out or too excited, yet it might have looked somehow flirty, since who the hell would lick their upper lip whenever they were stressed? She needed to do something or situation wasn't looking that bright.

Yet, as she started talking about her wife, then things started to get a bit more comfortable with this little heated moment since she got the room to breathe. She saw the look in Sio's eyes, she must've really loved her. A smile, sad but strong was placed on her lips as she listened the last bits. "I am sorry for all the things you've lived, Sio. Yet I am happy that you've found such a soulmate like her in the end." She added. "I wish I had someone that special in my life. But I don't know about that anymore." She said, then sighed, then it was the time for a little backstory. That would give Siobhan the reason why Nima was running away from her moves. "You know, I was always in contact with the Dark Side. It started with my Sith markings, then I made a lot of mistakes. I've loved the wrong man who was possessed by a Taung spirit, then learned that he never loved me and he used me to set him free from the cage that they put him. Then I trusted our love, thought everything was going to be okay if I was with him. Yet he betrayed me one more time and almost killed me. I never did anything but to love him yet he always had his ways to push me away." She was getting in the depressive mode again. "Then one day. It stopped. Everything seemed meaningless, I didn't care about love anymore... I've put myself in the prison that I created. And I stopped hurting myself. I stopped hurting everyone in the process." As her hand still being hold by the master, she continued taking her stress away as she found strength in her warmth.

"Have you ever felt so powerless, that everything you did you thought was right the right thing to do, caused more problems than solving them, Siobhan?" She was about to cry from this sudden emotion bomb, yet she stood strong, but couldn't conceal the shaking in her voice. "That's what I do, I create problems. I am bad luck." Don't get near to me, you'll get hurt. I don't want you get hurt.

"Yes, I have," Siobhan said quietly, but firmly. Bad memories of her own came rushing back to her. "For a long time I perceived myself as worthless, beyond fighting Sith. Undeserving of love. As bad luck. Believe strong enough in that and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Adril, Tegs, [member="Coryth Elaris"], Mirien and my daughter...they all showed me that's not true. And I don't think it's true for you either," she gave Nima's hand a good squeeze.


When she looked Nima directly in the eyes, it was not with the look of a predator about to pounce on her prey. Rather it was with compassion. "I know it sounds trite, but I'm sorry for what you got put through and I recognise scars like that don't heal easily. Certainly not overnight. But don't just lock yourself in a cage. You're better than that. You certainly deserve better than that. Certainly better than him. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise or put yourself down like that. ," she said firmly.


There was a pause before she continued speaking, as she took a sip from her glass. "Look, Nima, I'm not the type to beat around the bush. I am very attracted to you...sexually. But if my advances are making you uncomfortable, I'll understand that." But the look on her face was 'but I can make you feel good'.

She let out a big sigh as she listened to her words. Siobhan had, indeed, a very similar story as compared with her own, yet she found the way to put her life in an order and find her soulmate, even had a daughter. She was right, she was always right. By the Force... As her hand was being held gently by the woman who was now talking with a tone which didn't tell "I want to bang you", this time was more of a "I can help you" kind of one. Seeing even Siobhan show a pity and tried to help to toe poor girl, that hit her hard. No ones fault but hers, she was the one that was keeping everyone away who wanted to help, she was the one why she was like this. This was all her fault, as the accusing voices filled her head she came back to reality, to the sweetness and the helping hands of the woman. Yet, she was strong, the tears she thought were going to come any second now didn't even appear. The years, no matter how hard and painful was to the wounded heart, helped her get a thicker skin. "Why are you always right?..." Then continued, sighing before talking. "I've pushed everyone away from my life, even those ones who want to help me because of him... I became obsessed, I wanted him... yet in the end I was the one that always get hurt. I ...don't want to be alone, Siobhan. I don't want to hurt anymore." Her eyes were telling "Help me." as her mouth never would say such a thing like that.

Yet, she was losing her. Even a predator like her was giving up on her, yet her words said otherwise. She wasn't used to getting pampered, to get compliments like this, even be sexually attractive to someone. Why, Siobhan? Why are you doing this to me? "Don't... Don't be silly. It was one of the best days in my life today, and I am happy that you are here." Then she added, she wasn't even trying to be friendly anymore. She was just going to say her piece and let the woman understand what she wanted to understand. This was a desperate moment of asking for help. "It's just weird for me because I never lived something like this before. With all the compliments, and massages, I am thankful for that, but it's all new for me and it's a bit difficult to adapt to this. Hell, in my entire life I thought I loved men, yet now... I don't know... You've seen my head, my memories. They are filled with sadness and regrets and... everything bad. I don't want you to be my regret." She was going for it. No need to stop now. "I am sorry... I... I don't know what to do." It was a "Tell me what to do" situation, and she made sure that Sio would get it from her tone, which was far from rejecting, want for help, maybe.

In her entire life, she was used to get orders and do them as a soldier... She didn't know what to do, her all relationship tries were gone to absolute waste. And now, what... now what? It was all depending on Siobhan's answer. Nima knew that she was putting a big ton of weight on Sio's shoulders.

"Try to let go. Starting with this night. Forget your fears, doubts just for a moment. Enjoy yourself a little, without fear of getting burnt. Forget about labels. I can't offer you love, Nima, but I can help you heal and feel better," Siobhan said. Her tone was soft, but filled with confidence and strength.


The hand that had been stroking Nima's hand was slowly raised to cup her cheek as Siobhan leaned over the table and looked her directly in the eyes, though she made no further move. "Nima, I'm going to kiss you, ok? I won't do anything more than that without your permission, and if you don't like it, that's fine. Just a kiss. Let yourself go and enjoy it." Then she brushed her lips against Nima's and pulled her into a deep, passion-filled kiss. It was a soft one, not the rough sort where you tried to claim dominance and devour your partner's lips, but no less filled in heat and passion. As arrogant as it might sound, Siobhan was very confident that she was a great kisser. Her lips were cherry-flavoured.
