The beauty in Life and Death. (Joza Perl)

[Kenrath]

He chuckled.

"The question is not what I am willing to teach but what you are willing to learn."

He smirked.

"You wanna go full Sith and I will teach you everything I know." "Otherwise you tell me what interests you and I will see if I can teach it to you." "You just have to remember I am trained to take life not give it."

While he had been walking a step or two behind her at that point he moved up to walk beside her.

Joza thought for a moment, tilting her head to the side as she did so. She hadn’t had the opportunity to openly indulge in the dark sided arts, and while she was curious there was also a layer of hesitation. “I don’t think I’d want to go full Sith.” She said slowly, having too many attachments to the light. “I know of a few people that would be after my head if I did that,” She chuckled, though that wasn’t exactly what was holding her back.

“What about the lightning? I’ve always been curious about that. What source do you use to generate it?” She opened one of her hands, staring down at the palm and imagining it as if it were covered with the tingling blue electricity she’d seen before. “Or is that the sort of thing only a full Sith would be taught?” She smiled softly at him when he caught up with her.

He shrugged.

"It is traditionally considered a Dark side technique." "I could teach it to you but doing so may take you farther down the path than you are willing to go."

He chuckled.

"I am wanted by three of the four most powerful governments in the Galaxy."

He turned to look at her with a wink and a smirk.

"So how much further is this ship of yours............didn't think this place was that big." "What did you do park on the other side of the planet."

[Joza Perl]

“Mmm…” She hummed softly in thought. In truth, she wasn’t sure how far down the path of the dark side she was willing to go. Though he seemed to be comfortable, she’d seen others not take to the dark side too well, leading to suffering. Joza had a handful of her own involuntary dips into the dark side, and while it fascinated her it left her uncomfortable and unsure. "Perhaps not that, then."

At his comment about it taking too long for them to reach her ship, she chuckled and flashed him a wink of her own. “Not known for your patience?” Her grin widened. “But we’re close.” She tilted her head towards the right, the pair shortly coming upon the ship she’d used to get to the planet. Lowering the boarding ramp, the Zeltron knew that she didn’t need to beckon him forward and onto the ship, but she did so anyway with a subtle wave of her hand.

He chuckled.

"I have plenty of patience..............I just choose whether or not I exercise it at any given time."

He paused as they got to the ship and started up the ramp.

"I just have no desire to exercise it anymore today."

He smirked following her where ever she went his eyes scanning the ship non the less getting a feel for the layout.

“I see.” She had to smile when he spoke of his patience. Vengeance was a man who took what he wanted, it seemed.

After entering the ship and closing the hatch, Joza removed the cloak from her body, holding it out to him. “Would you like this back?” Her voice was even, casual as if discussing something as trivial as the weather as she stood there, stark naked. Being a Zeltron, nudity didn’t bother her in the way it did for some people.

[Kenrath]

He took the cloak from her with a smile for a moment he appreciated her naked form before he spoke.

"Sure why not."

He paused with a smile setting the cloak down off to the side before turning back to her.

"So what is first..............the guided tour, the new hobby, or straight to your room for round two?" "Maybe a mix of options B and C?"

He did a quick circle around the immediate area before stopping back in front of her barely any distance separating them.

She grinned at him before looking up in thought, wondering if she should close the gap between them but thought better of it. Turning on her heel, she waved for him to follow her. “I suppose a short tour is in order when I have a guest. Got to be polite, after all.”

She moved swiftly through the ship, unperturbed by her own nudity. After all, they had just made love. What did she have to hide? At least now he’d get to view her swaying hips as she walked, pointing out the cockpit, refresher, engine room and the like. She’d brush her hair idly over her shoulder and towards her front as she went about, giving him a view of the delicate phoenix tattoo that ran nearly the entire length and width of her back, designed to cover numerous scars.

“And last but not least…” She opened the door to her quarters, half turning to face him with a gentle smile. “We can retire to the bedroom, if it pleases you.”

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

He smiled giving her a nod and following her around the ship. The view of her swaying hips was a few to die for. He even noticed the Phoenix tattoo on her back. He had no ink of his own but hers looked good on her. When she stopped in the doorway of her room he smile walking up to her and caressing her cheek.

"Humor me for a moment if you would."

He slowly went to turn her around taking a closer look at the Phoenix. His hands gently ran over the ink with a soft touch before leaning down to plant a soft kiss on her shoulder. His touch was soft a stark contrast to what it had been in the Arena. After a minute he slowly guided her forward towards the bed in the room. Stopping in front of it he let go of her to begin removing his own clothes.

Joza’s breath hitched for a moment as he traced his fingers softly along the ink on her back. She couldn’t help but tense up a little, as if anticipating him to suddenly grab her or be rough—not that she minded much, but bracing herself was instinctive around him. Her shoulders finally relaxed, releasing some of the tension with a sigh as he pressed his lips to her flesh. It made her feel a little warmer somehow.

Allowing herself to be led towards the bed with no resistance, Joza’s eyes reflected her curiosity and growing desire. She watched as Vengeance disrobed and drifted closer towards him, eyes traveling to the scars on his torso. Moving carefully and deliberately, she lifted a finger to brush along them with the lightest touch. Her own scars were either covered by the ink that was specifically designed to hide them, or with makeup like the one on her face. Fingers still tracing lightly if he would allow it, she would lean in to start trailing butterfly kisses along his neck.

[Kenrath]

He smiled when she traced her fingers along the scars littering his torso.

"Gifts from your Jedi friends......each one represents a victory............one for each time I cheated death."

He gently eased her back until the back of her legs touched the bed, then to a sitting position, and finally ease her to her back. Starting at the inside of her knee he softly kissed working his way up the inside of her leg. He was gentle as he did his gaze never leaving hers.

Green eyes flickered up to him as he spoke, her head cocking softly to the side as he revealed the origins of his various markings. Still she said nothing, finding no words to say while she took in his own. She kept in mind that they were on opposite ends of the spectrum, but they had to share some similarities if they came together in this way, right?

She felt the back of her legs touch the bed and complied as he urged her to lay down, her back resting against the cool fabric of the sheets. Joza squirmed a bit to make herself more comfortable, her gaze locking with his and reflecting her curiosity under a layer of growing desire. “Why are you being so gentle with me now?” She asked Vengeance point blank, somewhat nervous that her answer might trigger a more aggressive response. Not that she minded, but him being gentle could ease her into a false sense of security.

[Kenrath]

He smirked moving up to look at her. A hand gently caressing her cheek. His eyes answered her question. A calmer slow burning fire in his eyes replaced he uncontrolled raging inferno that had been in them back in the arena. Almost displaying a true testament to what he had said earlier about the effects of suppressing emotion and desire as opposed to channeling it.

"I could stop if you would prefer.............save round two for another time?"

He smiled planting a soft kiss on her lips.

[Joza Perl]

A comfortable silence lingered between the two as they locked eyes, and her lids fluttered closed for a brief moment at the cool touch of his hand. It felt quite nice to be handled gently, and she figured that they’d worked their initial passion out on each other to the point where being aggressive wouldn’t feel as natural.

And if he was really controlling his urges, then Joza figured that she could use a lesson or two. Jedi meditation had helped somewhat, but the Zeltron felt things strongly and was a bit…dramatic at times. Inhaling deeply, she shifted as if squirming slowly below him.

“Another time.” She affirmed, giving him a simple nod. As he kissed her, pink lips would perk into a faint smile against his own. That could simply mean a few hours from now, or a few months.

“Am I as sweet as you thought I’d be?”

[member="Vengeance"]

 

[Kenrath]

He smiled planting a soft kiss on her forehead.

"A little sweeter than I am used too, am used to more aggressive partners.........not saying it is a bad thing though."

He winked at her before he stood grabbing his clothes.

"I should probably get back to kicking puppies and all that evil stuff you Jedi seem to believe we do." "Until next time my little Morsel."

He slowly made his way back towards the ramp finishing getting dressed.

[Joza Perl]

Joza pouted as he pressed his lips to her forehead, though she felt her heart flutter briefly at the gentle touch. “I can be aggressive too, you know…” At times, the Zeltron tried to be bigger than she really was. Sometimes her front worked, and sometimes she just ended up acting more childish.

She watched him dress, propping herself up on her elbows as he mentioned that he should be off. In trust she was a little disappointed to see him go, but part of her was a little relieved. Things had flowed naturally between them, and she wasn’t about to go dashing down the ship’s ramp after him in her birthday suit.

“Next time, then.” She murmured in response, allowing herself to fall back onto the bed with a dramatic sigh. Even without exchanging contact information, they’d probably bump into each other again on their own.

Vengeance headed down the ramp and towards his own ship. It almost seemed as if closing another chapter of his life. His brief but oh so delightful fling with the Zeltron Jedi. He didn't mind though. It had been fun while it lasted and the lack of call me as he walked away was not lost on him. In truth he hadn't expected it to go as far as he did.

He didn't glance back and as he moved up the ramp of his own ship his mind went back to the things he had been putting off. The balance between Vengeance the man and Vengeance the Sith had always been a precarious one at best.
