Aynea waved to an approaching customer: [member="Selka Ventus"]. She hadn't personally known the woman, but theirs was a name that had crossed her ears once or twice in the past. The vixen had also been somewhat of a frequent customer at Silk, buying modular components for her yachts and freighter.
Before she could speak a formal greeting, Aynea had been held short by the woman's murmurs. The vixen waited, and listened, and simply offered a solemn nod in reply.
"Yes, I'd be happy to sell you one of my Alchemy 101 for Beginners handbooks, written by the Crystal Heart. All proceeds go to a good cause, providing fair labour jobs to Crystalsong aboriginals! Thank you for your interest." Aynea jubilantly announced.
Her mind said something far different, with a subtle look in her eyes as she spoke both roles; it was the feral glimmer of the initiated, marred by the power of a Sith - death.
"You know... as a Jedi I should have thrown these in a vault, never to be gazed upon again. However, as a Philosopher I believed that knowledge was power and that none could truly better know the Force until they understood both aspects; for how can one claim unity but be divided? For you, the cost is but a promise - the promise not to place such knowledge in the hands of the unprepared. There is no greater price I can ask of you."
Aynea tilted the woman a subtle nod, brandishing a book from under the counter and placing within it a proof-of-purchase receipt of all the information she had for sale. A veteran of many conflicts over power, she knew not to keep such things anywhere but the safest and most unexpected of places, and would see their copies personally delivered come the end of the day.
